Why the Union Jack & not the St Georges cross ???

'Cos its OcUK, not OcEngland.

Woah there guys! I didn't aim to 'steal' anyones idea, i've been graphic designing since a young age and that's not my tactic. Originally (as posted) I thought the logo could be tweaked and suggested how but then I thought i'd have a crack at how it would look as I think i'd be able to do a better job of how it could be improved. It's all good fun even though the last logo used uses none of the same typefaces as martians other than the the orange county rip

gamer_boy and Fa- both posted concepts which martian used, if anything the one I posted as an "improvement" is closer to Fa-'s entry.

Hang on a second I let the fact that you ripped my idea and then had the cheak to submit it as you own entry slide, but I don't like the suggestion I used concepts from other people's ideas, I can honestly say that I had already developed that logo before even seeing the other two, obviously you can't say the same. As you can see I am happy to receive suggestions on tweaking it but you can't really claim to do that and then put your copy/paste version in as an entry. I will admit the similarity to the logo of some crappy us teen show but it was untentional, btw my logo contains no typesfaces it was made from two circles so no idea what point you are trying to make there?

Here is another....

All the ones I have uploaded are screen grabs of original vectors and designed in a vector program... not Photoshop

Also regarding someones comments earlier... reflections and full colour elements like this CAN be printed, not just displayed on the web.
Logos that are required for things like embroidery onto t-shirts etc are usually simplified to one or two colours FROM a full colour logo.

Word must have spread that there is a free graphics card up for grabs!

Good work guys, some very creative pieces

 

[cpatain-chaos]

another faff about, must say loads of really quality entries coming through

 

[David41]

Sounds like fun!, here's my first attempt.

 

[Jambo]

I think that's a winner tbh.

It's a nice logo but I don't think it really works.

 

[Nix]

I was thinking of perhaps some variant of this:

(sorry for quality - only have paint to hand)

 

[Streeteh]

martian (for the concept) and nimz are my favourites so far. I like nimzs' idea of nearly completely scrapping the letters and going for a logo of sorts.

[EDIT] Nixs' variation of martians concept also has potential if tightened up a bit

 

[Damien.]

I think that's a winner tbh.

Yep, the logo fits in both instances perfectly.

Heres my entry.

Bit too similar to that logo that looks like a little man having a bit too much fun when you make it vertical

 

[nimz]

Yeah the original concept of the "logo" was to say or show something WITHOUT actually saying it!
Its all about the image the logo provides for Corporate branding or whatever...
Something attractive, recognisable and unique to the company in question.

Lots of logos these days seem to count on the wording. But then when a logo starts out from inception it usually has to have wording to show who's identity it is...

ha, I really like that needle thingy :thumbsup:

 

[Brokeback]

I actually started with the UJ but thought it looked a bit obvious and the brief kind of hinted towards wanting the colour scheme but not necessarily the flag so I stylised it out with the stripes instead, here's that version if people prefer to see the flag:

Great designs

Whilst I like the idea, the best logos are very simple and for me, adding the meter just means there is too much going on.

I would have to agree with that one. I'm also not to keen on the 'shine' effect that has been given to the logo, it was good until people tried to overcomplicate it.

 

[Nimzicki]

Try and simplify a bit maybe?
