Well actually, its not for me, its for the local school fundraising group which I run. We want something to raise our profile and use in a new marketing campaign.
Anyway, we are called Fundraisers for Auchtergaven School (catchy huh!) and based in Perthshire.
Let the offer of designs / onslaught of disdain begin.
TIA
Go on then, to show [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/font-help-required ]I'm not a purely callous and mercenary sod[/url], I'll give it a go! 😀
YGM.
do you want my house and firstborn too huh? do ya?
people like you make me sick. I shall join a union now.
Stoner can you give me some Excel help please?
Elfin, you can't use three rounded "B"s 😉
TSY, can you cut my lawn please?
Surely logos must all be put up here.... 😉
For shared knowledge/hive mind/community design obviously
iDave - how about some diet advice? 😆
Shh, Dez, shh.... 😕
No, see something like this is a good cause, not for profit, and it's for to make benefit glorious children of Scotland.
Not all of us are greedy selfish capitalist scum.... 😉
Yeti - course you can. I often do round these parts, but then Im a cuddly kind of capitalist. 😉
Share the love then Fred - let's see the design!
By the way I dont know quite how far this barter system of web design, financial modelling, and IT systems upgrades will get us in feeding our little ones let alone come the armegeddon 😉
I built this to give you an idea of how I see your school developing....
Share the love then Fred - let's see the design!
Give us a chance ffs! I haven't even got the brief yet! 😆
come the armnageddon IT types will be up against teh wall and shot! What survival value do you have? Good eating probably.
It's ok Stoner, you can stand down, I was just messing about. Some nights I sit up all night in the hope that an Excel question will come in when you're not online and I'll get to answer it 😀

Anyday but Tuesday is yours. Tuesdays I get paid to provide free Excel advice to forumites.

Ha Ha - as you well know, it's the future! Need I quote Thoreau?
[i]"Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it"[/i] - and, had Walden had the internet, he might have added that you will find just such a man on this site.
I predict that the hive mind of STW will play a [i]major[/i] part in stabilising international food and fuel markets.
"Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it"
see, I knew thoreau was just a tight-fisted scammer. Fancy encouraging slavery eh? Very humanitarian of him...not 😉
iDave - Member
TSY, can you cut my lawn please?
Easy solution. Get an emo lawn.
emo lawn? What's that? One that's too ****in depressed to grow or sumink?
Can some tell me how to use my iPhone / Android phone / post pictures on here / tell me which camera to buy?*
*Delete as appropriate.
[i]Fancy encouraging slavery eh?[/i]
It would make for a surprising version of US history, I agree.... 😛
Right, this is my best so far

I'm not too sure about the green border, but i'm willing to negiote on that if it doesn't compromise my artistic ethic.
Right, this is my best so far
I think we'll be the judge of that - can we see your other efforts please.
The others are just charcoal sketches. That was the only one I felt was worthy of committing paint to.
I like the green border, its suggests eco vibes
Auchtergaven Primary School is in the village of
Bankfoot. It is at the west side of the village.
Bankfoot is a small village eight miles north of Perth.
[b]In Bankfoot there is a tennis court, a bowling green
and a new church centre.[/b] Bankfoot is in Perthshire
in Scotland.
The days must just fly past in Bankfoot 😉
Right, game on! By the time I'm done, global corporations will consider their own branding 'amateur'...
What I thought was funny, was the thread title. Proper cheeky. Then I read what GeoffJ wanted, and thought 'why not?' At least it was a more honest request than others have been...
And maybe it will show that not all Southerners are greedy rich bastards who are happy to dine on truffles and champagne, whist poor children in Scotland suffer not having nice logos. See? Bridging the North/South divide.
That knighthood can't be too far off now...
Elfin - edit your comment. Just do it for the love, not to prove a point, not for the personal gain of a knighthood, just for the love!
It's the only way to become a Saint!
No I'm not asking for a knighthood, I'm not asking for one, I just accept that one will probbly be forthcoming.
I may of course simply turn it down, as is my perogative.
[url= http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p2.html ]Please design me a logo for free.. with pie charts.[/url] 🙂
there's no such thing as genuine altruism according to TJ.
You venal little shite elfinsafety!

2 minutes, a quick knock up, you're welcome 😀
yes yes I didn't kern the fonts or do the spacing properly but hell, 2 minutes!
I had to look up what 'venal' meant:
[i][b]Venality:[/b]
The quality or fact of being for sale. 2. The quality of being venal; readiness to give support or favour in return for profit or reward; [b]prostitution[/b] of talents or principles for mercenary considerations.[/i]
That's nice. I offer to help someone, yet now I have become reduced to nothing more than a [i]Common Whore[/i].
😥
Common, nah, gutter 😀
Yes there is Stoner. If I told you about all the wonderful things I do, you'd know. I can't do this as it may seem like I'm asking for some sort of adulation, which would prove TJ correct.
Sorry one sec the cat that normally craps all over my slate drive is stuck in a tree, I'll be right back....
TSY, catapult?
You got it! And so did Mr Tiddles!
heh heh heh
That knighthood can't be too far off now...
Lets not get carried away now. A bag of haggis and a bottle of the hard stuff if its good 😉
😯
We can but only dream of such delights, in the barren cultural wasteland that is London....
Well, progress is positive so far. I'm not showing you lot anyway, because you'll just laugh and be cruel and nasty and upset me. 🙁
Bloody hell effin, haven't you finished yet! This is why the country is falling to bits. Too many designers, not enough engineers.
I came up with a perfectly workable solution 5 days ago.
I hope he doesn't finish the universe will collapse in on it's self if a graphic designer does a job for free.
5 days already... come on...
the knives are sharpened, the pepper spray is shaken...
🙂

I'm having fun. GeoffJ seems reasonably happy so far. 🙂
I can guarantee he and Auchtergaven Primary School will get something [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/im-sure-its-been-said-before ]a little better than the Lympic Logo...[/url]

How do we know if you won't show us!
Because it's actually impossible to do any worse. Let's face it! 😀
It's looking very good. Elfin's captured the essence of what we are about and incorporated it into a design. In fact, I'd best start thinking about them bags of haggis!
I am very curious as to the creative execution of this brief...
Have yer done owt yet!
You may as well post it as we'll only keep looking the the school's website till it appears! 😉
He keeps coming up with ideas that are shitter than the 2012 logo and his mum doesn't like any of them 😉
Elfin is already a saint in my eyes..

😆
She would tell me, as well..
Youse'll see it in good time. It's near enough done; just waiting for some feedback off the school and kids and that.
Pfft. It's not a big deal, just somebody asked for a little favour, and I'm in a position to do it for them.
I bet it won't be as good as the stuff FredDibnah used to do when he frequented these parts
As its for a primary school I do hope you've used Comic Sans - as under local education guidelines its now compulsory to use this font for any school related work!
T-M-M; have you seen the website??? 😯
Actually, that reminds me of a new thread I was going to post. Maybe tomorrow though.
T-M-M; have you seen the website???
Yep - its a gorgeous piece of retro website design done in a minimalist style. I'm particularly fond of some of the blue text on a red background.
Yeah but in fairness, that's someone doing that in their spare time, as part of a nice community effort. Not everyone is blessed with awesome web-design skills. I'm sure whoever did it does an admirable job elsewhere.
Don't criticise, but help for make better. Is good for community.
That's what I like about Fred - he can take a joke.
I would happily buy you a drink should we ever be in the same place at the same time Fred me old mucker.

You're the one doing googly-eye smileys as if to express horror at their website!!
Not horror, just that the entire website's text is in that font.
Thank you MF! 😀
