Logo…… what do you think? I may need help!

Not my doing and only a suggestion – so what do you think?

Anther option/theme is:

Edit:: If someone want to take this on themselves I’m paying! Email in profile for details.

1 is better than 2

Honest opinion is that both of those are very amateur and rubbish.

You need to find a designer and tempt them to do you a proper logo for free in exchange for future riches*

*usually goes down well 🙂

Or write a proper brief and go here http://logotournament.com

Why don’t you ask one of the designer types on here to knock you one up in their coffee break?

shoot the designer.

1 is passable. 2 is crap

It just makes me think of Mars bars…..

I liked this one.

Aaaaaaaaaaah – the ‘Bevel and Emboss’ filter in photoshop, applied to text.

Nothing quite screams ‘visual illiterate’ quite like it 😉

You need to find a designer

haha….. ^^ these are from a designer suggested on here 😕

If someone wants to have a go I’m happy to pay.

1 would likley get you a knock on the door from the Ferrari legal people!

😯 He was clearly using the term loosely. Was it fourcrossjohn?

Okay, I’ll rephrase it

You need to find a sober designer

It could be that I am colour blind, but I find the first one is quite hard to read the word ‘Rest’might be something to do with the choice of colours fading into each other?

Saying that, I prefer it to the second one.

Are you selling printed t-shirts?

the gradient across the text in the first one causes the “e” rest to blend into the background. Bad font choices. Bad colours. Bad Embossing (bleeding from one letter to the next). Overall Bad.

I refer the right honourable gentleman to my previous statement.

Anyone who uses photoshop filters on copy needs a slap around the chops with a wet fish. Just add a drop shadow in, and the visual horror is complete

Thanks Klunk, I though it was my iffy eyes 😉

I have a friend who’s a graphic designer who might be able to help (paid of course)

2nd one looks like those prove you’re human by typing the contents of this box things you get on webpages.

But then again I’m one of those visually illiterate people binners was on about so what do I know.

how about ?

The company name offer some potential, but these logos squander it imo.

The first isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life, but the second is definitely down amongst them.

If you *have* to progress with this particular designer and wish to select one to move forward with, I would choose the first, but I would remove the gradient and red background and then re-assess the type on its own.

If you can choose another designer, I would.

Or here’s another crap one I just made

xiphon, are you on commission? You post that link on everyone of these threads.

I’m quite liking the logotournament idea….. more than I was planning on paying though – there again I’m not that up on what these things cost.

Orrid

I had another thought.

How about a symbiotic circle showing the three elements of Work, Rest & Play in union.

Using colour to combine the three

Also think about how this logo may need to be used on clothing (assumption)

Also 3 colour print and out lines

anyway….

here another crap one…

That’s a step away from,

MTG interesting article but I think they picked a bad fake business as an example, it’s a plumber, WGAF if they have a funky logo? can the man stop the water coming in through my front room ceiling? That logo (to a visually….etc) looks serviceable, if I look back at it and critique it then yeah it’s a bit mleh, but I wouldn’t think twice about seeing it on the side of a van or on my invoice.

If santa cruz or intense or some other chi chi designer of dandy horses got the same designers in to tart up their website they may well loose sales. Mind you the Hope site looks bloody awful and it doesn’t appear to have harmed them.

U a designer BTW?

How about a symbiotic circle showing the three elements of…

this sounds like it comes straight from another “design me a logo” piss take thread/article

How’s this?

I just like the idea of a French looking dog smoking a pipe.

I didn’t like the ampersand and the spaces and the lack of a comma also

OP, is this for a clothing brand?

I’d hazard that “WRP Clothing” is a clothing brand, yes.

Actually, I think I prefer “Work, Rest, Play” or “Work. Rest. Play.” perhaps; it flows better without the ‘and’ (and is less copyright-infringing).

well in that case I think you need to rethink the name. ‘Work Rest and Play’ is dreadful. WRP is not much better. would people want to see your logo and name on their clothes?

If that smoking French dog isn’t a logo already, it should be.

In fact, I’d lose the company name and keep the smoking French dog. Call your company Smoking French Dog Clothing and slip Tiger6791 a few readies. Job done.

genuine lol

They’re layer styles, not filters. 😛

They should be a bloody criminal offence! 😛

Call your company Smoking French Dog Clothing

L’Apparel Du Chien Fumer.

I can assure you, it was not me who did those!

Tiger6791 – second dog is a winner.
Yes, and rethink the name – awful and just conjours up images of Mars bars. Assuming that’s not the link you want to make.

would people want to see your logo and name on their clothes?

No logo’s, plain clothing sales.
