Logo

Rob,

Big thing to keep in mind, is when you need to have a logo printed, embroidered, silk-screened, etc.

Making it too complicated, with too many colors and curves, will not only cost more, but also cause bleeding of the colors. When in doubt, simpler is better with logos IMHO -- and gets imprinted in potential client's heads easier :)

Think AT&T, IBM and Fedex -- you can see their logos in your head ;)

Just my thoughts...

Exactly what my other point was going to be. Usually when I start a log. It's in raw B&W (line art) first. This will serve as flexible version for screen print/cut jobs.

After that, you add all the effects for web, digital print, etc.

Like so....

So maybe the better would have been the first font but maybe do the green highlights like the above?

Here's what I'm trying to do I want 3 Logo's 1 - Inline with logo in center as in the above, 1 - Stacked with logo and 1 - inline with logo at the front... 2 sets... 1-Color & 1-B&W

This will give me the most flexibility when it comes to both online publishing and printed publishing...

This is how the Holiday Inn Logo is done... for example

The Inline Holiday logo has the star graphic above Holiday Inn Express and is used primarily on building exteriors signage

The stacked version is used primarily in the pilon signs and most printed and published materials...

The Inline with star at the front is used on things such as the ink pens and golf pencils provided in the rooms...

So you can see where I'm leading.
 
If you look at my signature you'll see what I ended up with... thanks for all the input from everyone...

I know the text style may not be to the liking of some but I really like it...

Randy A: Thanks for the Mic/Note/Headset graphics.... they really do look good... did you design them or were they something you found on the net?

Later when I have the time I will post all six variations that I will be using for various publications and promo's

3-Color
3-B&W
 
Rob,

Looking closer at your logo, the two drop shadows on the mic & headphones are not aligned.


Yes I know... I did that intentionally to give more of a 3-D effect... so the mic and note should appear to be more infront of the headphones...

Where they overlap the shadow is darker... to me it looks more realistic that way....

Thoughts?
 
Whatever you like, is fine with me. I'm just happy, that you're happy.

(Now, if we could some other happy campers back in here!)

Thanks...

...and I do appreiciate all of the input EVERYBODY has put in on this little project... it took me a long time to be happy with it... but I think now I have something that I really like.
 
i dont think the font says total impact it says to me like total tae kwon doe, find something with a little more impact. just my opinion
