Help redesign our logo!!!
« on: May 18, 2010, 04:27:32 PM »
2aHawaii.com's logo right now is just plain text. Yeah, not very exciting.

I want to offer you the chance to redesign our logo.

I am thinking new logo should be one color, be able to go on t-shirts and stickers this website, and appeal to all shooters, young and old. Of course your aren't bound to this and your imagination is the limit.

Please post any submissions in this thread.

I can never make the damned photo thing work.

I agree, pretty cool



Here is how to post the image. The tricky part is getting the URL from flickr. In IE you can right click the image and select properties to find the link.

Yes, you can embed pics from any site the way that I posted earlier. You can also post pictures here by clicking "Additional Options" below the post box on the posting page.

AHA!!!  Gracias, senor!!!  I suspected that the URL I was seeing in my browser wasn't the one another person would have to use, but had no clue how to find the correct one!  Next logo, I'll be able to to it right!!!

I'm sorry I haven't been more active, I've been in the middle of a move. Does anyone want to offer up some critiques?

here's another idea.


It could certainly stand some refinement, probably find a font that overlapped better without the distortion, play with colors, etc.  Just wanted to do a quick draft in between more "real world" oriented projects.

Tom, I'm really liking the concept. I think just matching the "2" and the "A" would go a long way.

Yeah, I just did not have the time or patience to do extensive font crawling, but I didn't want the idea to get away from me.  I'll putter around with it some more next week.

Need to incorporate something that's native to hawaii in the back ground i.e. map of the entire state, a wave, surfboard, or honu.

Antithesis, I think I like that one the best so far. It looks really polished and has accomplished something the other logos haven't done...show that this is a website.

What does everyone else think?

Well that is the tentative design I came up with for the stickers I was talking about earlier.  I'm not 100% about the phrase in the bottom right hand corner though.  Can anyone come up with something better/catchier?
