Re: What Makes A Great FRC Team Logo?

I absolutely agree with the post, (simple, memorable, enduring, versatile, appropriate) though I would add "distinct" - that is, it must not look like anyone else's logo (FRC or otherwise), while obeying the others. That's the real challenge.

I would also add (as a hopefully obvious feature, but apparently not based on the microsoft icons for notepad, calculator, word, and so on) "high contrast". The logo should be distinctive re-done with nearby primary and secondary colors, even if it nominally has oddball colors in it. The old heraldic solution to this was to never put a "metal on metal" (silver/white on gold/yellow) or "color on color" (any of blue/red/purple/green/black against each other). You can probably relax this a little, but be sure that a colorblind person can see your logo's shape.
