I think these sort of ideas were the best implementation of colour for my idea. Colouring the text just look wrong. gord's alteration with the flag is interesting still though.

I did play with italics due to the current logo, but it didnt sit right.

The problem with italicising the OcUK is that the O becomes unsymmetrical and doesnt look like the middle pin of a fan, so it works against the fan concept.

I've also tried using a sharper font.. but it doesnt look right either at the moment..
 
My first few attempts while getting to grips with the software:

EDIT:

A very simple one;

Should have really had it one logo submission per user submitted off the forums and not having this thread clogged up with people churning out as many as they can so they can say someone copied because they've done every avenue.
 
I actually don't think the gradients look too bad in grey scale. Printed it off and looks pretty good ;o

Remember thought this is going to be a logo printed on staff shirts etc too, gradients/fancy effects wont show up to well when its like that.

Dont get me wrong, looks great, I really like the colour one... just might not work well printed on their uniforms
 
Aye of course for uniforms I assume it would be stitched on. If that's the case then the 3d nature of it being stitched on will bring it out more so the gradients wouldn't be needed :)

Printouts and whatnot are less restricted, so it might be a case of having website/letter headers with a slightly more detailed logo and a cleaner one for uniform :)

Not sure if its the greatest idea to have the union jack in the logo?

I would imagine the union jack flag may potentially put a lot of people off buying from Overclockers. Nothing wrong with the colours though, or parts of the flag mind.

I was wanting to avoid using it personally, because a couple of the earlier ones just shouted 'BNP' a bit too much (who use the union flag sat inside text) and I assume OcUK don't want to be too closely associated.

Yes, I really think the logo has held back OC/UK, oh hang on a minute, has the owner not just got himself a ferrari 599? yup, that sounds like a strangled by its logo business to me! - Not! :rolleyes::mad::rolleyes:


This sort of thing really annoys me - People like my late Grandfather used to salute the flag for good reason - it represents this country of ours.

Many a footy thug waves the St georges flag - for that reason should we ban that too?

Its a stupid idea to ditch the logo regardless of whichever faction uses it - I see OC/UK's logo and think of a sucessful UK based company, the BNP is the last thing that enters my thinking.

I think its a good thing that OC literally flys the flag for the UK and long may it continue. :cool::cool::cool:

I'll post my effort later if I can get Paint to work.... :o

There's only really one way we can solve this.

I request a photo of an OCuk staff member wearing their uniform in a suggestive pose with a Xalman heatsink fan. Would like it signed "thanks for Torquay, spirity" if time allows.

Not as fancy as some, but if its going to print and be stitched i think simple makes more sense.

Is that me submitted? It doesn't really say where you need to submit, or i could be being blind (which is usual)

Ha, meant this one:

Samione really should stop taking the mick of the people in here. Most people don't do it as a profession so hats off to anyone whos plucked up the courage to enter :)

If Samione really wants to show off his work, just google his username, DesignersTalk has some bits of work she/he has done :) It's only fair that everyone gets to see what you've done if you're going to take the mick isn't it?
