Hey!:mad:
There's nothing wrong with filters!

The purple and maroon look strange. Red, white, and blue would probably look better

Re: Re: Bored.
 

While I'm not a fan of the red, white and blue color scheme, as I don't quite understand the necessity of this to mirror FIRST's own logo at all, any analogous color scheme could be substituted for the maroon through navy gradient.

I just have a tendency to work in those colors. Not sure why.

I got bored...

For me the picture actually looks better if you save it to your computer. Not sure why....

Re: Bored.
 

The logo M did is what I had in mind, but just wasn't motivated enough to whip up real quick.

More boredom.
 

Just another idea. This is definitely not a finished product.

Re: More boredom.
 

I really like that one. Its simple, but it has a nice distinctive shape that would look good and be easily recognized even if printed/photocopied in black and white with poor quality.

Re: More boredom.
 

I like it, the only thing is it just doesn't look FIRST related, I think the shape is great its not just a rectangle or square, it is something that stands out and people will remember.

How about making the center ball red....... or something red..

Why does everyone think everything related to FIRST has to incorperate the FIRST logo.

I think that M's last one is great! Could use some work still but its origional and it would look good printed in different ways and qualities...

FIRST related organizations can use the logo and many do very well so that it looks nice, but its not required...

Think outside the box. or something like that.

I like the idea behind this logo.. multiple entry points--sources, one destination--sink; however, after seeing one of Jack's selected models, the logo should reflect multiple entry points, in the non-uniform way you do, to multiple destinations all linked together. Anyway, thats just being picky.

What I am really posting about, though, is logo design. Generally before you design a logo, you should determine whether or not you want it to look professional or something else. If you want the logo to look professional, then it should generally lack gradients--though suttle ones are usually ok, embossing, engraving, shadows--but again, suttle ones are usually ok, etc: it should basically be a flat image. Remember, you want the logo to look good in any medium (web, print, etc), and any favoring of one medium (web) shouldn't dramatically change how the logo looks on another medium.

I am not a graphic designer, but most logos that do no adhere to the above rules look.. terrible. Look around and see for yourself.

Looks pretty good, although some color, could make it a really Nice logo.

My idea.

Yet again with transparent letters.

I like that JosephM..

//The non transparent letters are better...

Only if there was some better way to place the "scouting network" ;)

also...

I'd like to see another version on M. Krass's logo too :D
