It was good to see those who made it last night! As discussed, I am posting a new thread about updating the logo. @gregnash shared info about an artist in Carson City that might be able to do some artwork for us at more reasonable rates than Gavin Patterson. Here's some samples of Gavin's work and of Petrol Burn's work. These are samples of what they can do, not necessarily the angle, color, or details we would use.
Gavin
Petrol Burn
I will reach out to Petrol Burn to see what kind of costs we are looking at with him.
I did a mockup of a logo using Gavin's artwork a while back to show an example of something we could do. Greyscale would be ideal for apparel, while color would be great for websites and printed material. In the example below the background, space between the boarders and letters would be transparent and pick up the color of the material.
I did the boarder and letters, Gavin would only offer a vehicle drawing.
There was a lot of discussion around this yesterday. One topic that came up was to see if we could update/clean up our existing logo. I'm not a huge fan of the current logo, but perhaps we can keep it available as a "vintage" option for folks who like the old-school look. But here's the issues with the current logo...
1. LOTS of colors makes printing more complicated and pricey.
2. It isn't designed like a standard logo where much of it is transparent. This makes the logo heavy, hot, and subject to damage.
3. Due to the type of design and file, "updating" would be difficult. It would be a complete redesign.
The idea for a new logo would be that the "formal" version would have the 40 Series TLC, but that we can make the logo modular and interchange other Series vehicles if folks want something that reflects their current model or favorite model. In a modular design the lettering, frame and other surround is separate from the vehicle in the design (layer) of the graphic. That would enable use to interchange the vehicles.
Here are some other logos I like...
