Dissent offroad modular front bumper (1 Viewer)

I hate to be the wet towel on the logo parade Ben, but it looks a lot like one of the Black Panther party logos. Google Black Panther Logo and you'll see a fist that is almost exactly like the one you want to use in your logo (albeit, yours is white on black). If you don't mind a graphical reminder of the 60's, then good on ya!

In any case, I do like the name!

Like I said, I don't mean to be a downer...

Here is something I just threw together real quick:

Haha, your right. I guess I'm to young. I have never even heard of that.
The logo you came up with reminds me of a Pamela Anderson tattoo. Google Pamela Anderson tattoo and you will see what I mean

Love the name, we have to work on that font!

This is just something I came up with on the funky paint download that came with my computer. I know it's not perfect but I think it's the direction I'm going. I want to keep it clean and simple with not much color. I know that is the only stickers that I like to run on my rig. Right now the only decals I have are the silver slee and the new black and silver arb. Feel free to work on the font though

You mean the barbed wire thing? Yea, maybe.
I definitely agree with your thoughts on stickers on vehicles. I've never had a sticker on my car until about a month ago. I finally put a small U.S. Army sticker on my rig since I'm an officer in the Army reserves and my rig is River Rock Mica Green, close enough for olive drab for me. Just a small plain white sticker.

Friends don't let friends ever use a logo remotely close to this. (Unless you own some type of backwoods strip club, I guess)

I think it needs a clean logo like ARB

Was thinking that last night, something clean like ARB or slee has. Your product doesn't need aggressive looking logo like southern style or Iron Cross.... It's too clean and simple design.

I'll mess around with some fonts.

I think the logo should be clean and simple, what ever logo is made it will be bad ass. Who's bumpers are next on the list?

I see a lot of used aftermarket bumpers coming up for sale............ cheap


Again Nicely done benc

 

[grundsethp]

Thanks for the bumper. Just got back from a business trip so I can now paint and install.

For your company name, I would go with a name that doesn't have other meanings since this may be a offroad metal company today but could be a metal fab, design company or a multinational consulting company tomorrow!

The only good name I came up with is - CalTex - a play on caltech.
Thanks again

Agree on the "Keep the font for Dissent clean" comments. Didn't notice the Black Panthers connection.

 

[Get outside]

Damn! That's 27 bumpers coming from a modest beginning of trying to round up at least 5!
This thing is taking off fast!

Yeah, definitely a lot more interest than I anticipated! I'm used to building 2-3 bumpers per year and now I have 30 that need be built in a couple months. Well I guess only 20, the other 10 are DIY, but needless to say I have been very busy and will be for a while. Hopefully I can get these done and have time to at least have a prototype roof rack for 100s in the hills!

Ntsaint, your bumper is complete and ready for powder! Depending on the powder coating, yours will ship out the end of next week or beginning of the following.

Are you saying you are heading to HIH this year?

 

[benc]

Yep. Confirmed it with Stan yesterday. I'm pretty excited.
Did you get a chance to unpack your bumper yet?
I sent you a pm also. Since yours is an 06 the wing gusset will need to have a slight bend inward. I should have done this for you but I forgot, sorry! And I will work on getting you those grill guard straps next week.

We are fully expecting Ben to join us for HIH this year. There may even be a raffle prize in the works.

BTW, I still like the name BenFab for your business. I envision a front bumper logo with the BenFab name over it. Too late for that I guess....

There will be at least 1 front bumper in the raffle
And I thought of that name also but it is already taken. Actually just about everything I could come up with was taken and Manhattan warned me that it would be difficult to find a name and that I would have to think outside the box. He definitely knows what he's doing and a big thanks to him for the help!

 

[Get outside]

Awesome! Happy to hear you guys made it all come together!
I did open the box but didn't mess with it yet! Busy days!
