Reverend Jax Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 So, there was some good feedback from folks on this logo, and it's variants. Is there anything I can do to tweak this one to get it on the fast track to official logo status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Tell me what you think. I tried to go in the "The greatest forum in the world" direction... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If I could +1 that more than once, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 That's too cluttered. You have to approach it with the eye of an advertiser. Clean lines and a concise message. Here, I fixed it for you. Free of charge. PERFECT! Cut. Print. Put it on a shirt. We're done here. And you get a +1 at a later date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Here's an idea I think we can actually get behind WAIT! Don't leave, hear me out. Its just a rough sketch out there (I would like someone else to do a final design). An H that looks like a wooden fencepost with a cowboy leaning against it. His hat connects to the top of the H and his leg is bent to form a B. I think it would work well. Maybe just the silhouette of the cowboy would be fine. Boogie, ASC, Logans? Someone else more artistically inclined should do this, but I think its a cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Its a great idea man. When I have time (this weekend) I'm gonna see what can I came up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think it works better as a silhouette (and is infinitely more t-shirtable that way) I do have one thing to add, the upper loop on the B could be his arm holding the cigarette to his mouth.

the division of joy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The shortening of it to HB is going to make me think Ice Cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The shortening of it to HB is going to make me think Ice Cream. Spinning a storyline that involves Uncle NZA trying to sling his Kuster's Kreamy Kustard in lew of Ice Cream... but that's for the WW thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think it works better as a silhouette (and is infinitely more t-shirtable that way) I do have one thing to add, the upper loop on the B could be his arm holding the cigarette to his mouth. Like Baytor said I thought the same. AND I 've been thinking of adding a sunset in the back so his shadow would form HB on the floor. Like I said, im going to have time to do it bewteen saturday and sunday. Right now I should be reading for a test... sigh... Anyways. Let me know what you think.

Boogie Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sketch #1 Dont mind all the stuff thats wrong. Is just to get the idea. I was thinking, Should it be a real cowboy with boots or a modern cowboy (with sneakers and such)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I figured he'd just be silhouetted wearing a duster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) All I've got at work is paint and the touch pad on my laptop, but here's my sketch of axel's idea and expanding on Boog's sketch: I like the idea of the upper loop of the "B" coming from the cowboy lowering his head and pulling down the brim of this hat rather than grabbing a smoke. Also, I think it should be more centered on the sunset and the parallax line of the edge of the "B" should match the slope of the left side of the 'H' moreso than how it ended up in the sketch.

Keth Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That's pretty awesome. It does make more sense for him to be grabbing his hat also. I didn't think of the casted shadow either, nice touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks axel. The casted shadow making the initials was in boogie's sketch above. Just brought it around front. I like the idea of the sunset behind and the gate and cowboy in sillouete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The shadow being what actually forms the initials is my favorite part. The whole thing is pretty brilliant. +1's all up in this bitch when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My only caveat is that it looks like he's squatting to take a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, I have that problem too. How do you put him in a position that isn't silly while still forming the bottom half of the letter? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah, I have that problem too. How do you put him in a position that isn't silly while still forming the bottom half of the letter? Discuss. By scraping the idea all together? I'm not saying it wasn't a good idea, but the only way to execute it is to make him look like he's in a ridiculous position, so I think it would be best to file it away rather than to commit to it.

Iambaytor Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The shadow does not have to be a literal shadow, this is a logo not a project for art class. Just have the guy leaning against a post adjusting his hat abstractly in the shape of a brand the shadow be a proper b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Indeed. I was having a hard time describing what I was thinking of in words. Maybe a pose kind of like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
