Trying to pick a logo for our website. Which logo do you prefer ?

Vote on our Logo

You seem to have missed off option 3: back to the drawing board 😉

…gun to my head, 2.

two

They are both terrible !! But I voted for #1

voted 2

I have no idea. I’ll have another look in the morning.

not a massive fan of either.. but I couldn’t vote for the provincial 80s hiking shop looks of 1 so I voted 2 which is hopefully just ahead of it’s time or something..

Both pants, stick with the cammo header 🙂

logo 2

?

From the two I prefer the second, but there’s room for improvement.

Both awful, stuck in the past. Can we see no. 3?

😯

Looks like 2 is leading. Thanks for posting so far.

2 is half decent.
#1 is pretty bad tbf – I’d be disappointed if I came up with that myself which is saying something.

Two. It reminds me of our local mountain rescue charity collection box.

Erm…the nineties are calling

…etc

top one, but they are both crap. IMHO etc

What is MT13 Arena?

I like the one the little boy did.

can i say neither?

Hate them both. But 1 at least has a little bit of retro cool about it (if you lose the little bikes!) so it gets my vote, though it does feel a bit like choosing between 2 vomit sandwiches.

“like” both the same amount and I could not pick between them, not in a good way …sorry.

Sorry, but neither floats my boat. I have designed a fair few logos over the years, as well as entire books and their jackets, so I have graphics experience, and personally I’d stick with the masthead you’re already using. Those just look a bit too much like the local free magazine went to work with a freeware paintbox programme. The colour palette is very reminiscent of early nineties web graphics, when 168 colours or whatever was all that was available. I’m afraid they just look a bit… amateur really. 🙁

Off to design more 🙁

Why don’t you ask the STW design community to knock one up for you tomorrow? That normally goes down well and they’ll even do you a version in Word (and PowerPoint if you ask nicely).

What CountZero sed, basically.

Both are too fussy, too obvious and just don’t stand out enough. My philosophy with logos is that they should convey what they represent as simply as possible, and be memorable. You really don’t need to tell a whole story with a logo, you just need something that will stick in someone’s head.

Look at these:

See?

Less is more.

some inspiration

if in doubt rip someone off

sorry both are pants

if in doubt rip someone off

Which is 99% of logo design anyway. 🙂

Shut up DD you are rubbish and you smell so there. 😐

hand drawn stuff

bauhaus note the colour palettes

I am rubbish at logo design, but I can’t be awesome at everything. Swimming and logo design are two of my weaknesses. 😡

lots to copy here

Done a banner.

Right then, what about this ?

http://www.mtbarena.com/?p=260

That last one is better IMO!
Bit of a mis-match between the 3D of the chainring (?) and the flat text. Maybe try the text in the same 3D style?
I also tried to read it as mtbarena first.

IMO I would make the chainring on the last one 2D but keep it silver, and try making the words read mtb ARENA or switch fonts between the two words to better distinguish between them…you’re getting closer on that last one…sorry but the first two were just dreadful

Without meaning to be harsh, I think this might be part of the problem. I’d be inclined to try and twist the arm of a graphic designer friend to have a go at it.
