Title: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: Johnny on February 27, 2012, 05:41:10 PM
So we've now reached the deadline for our competition to design a new CustomBats logo.

Thank you to those who took the time to participate.

Now it's time for the members to choose the design that we will base the final logo on! Everyone gets one vote.

These are ALL the entries we have received and members can also vote to keep the existing logo.

Please feel free to leave comments and feedback on the designs

The poll will run for 7 days, after which the results will be revealed! The design with the most votes wins and will form the basis of the logo the website uses going forward, with the winner also receiving an item of CustomBats Wear featuring the new logo.

GET VOTING!

Design 1 : (Stay the Same!)

Design 3 would look great if the co.uk was red and white.
Title: Re: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: Joe on February 27, 2012, 06:17:16 PM
Design 2 is the best in my opinion.


I do not like Design 3.

Stay the same. I was expecting better to be honest.

'kinell, I'd like to see the rejected designs!  :D

To be honest, the current one isn't worth changing for these. Though I do love the retro Corel Draw 3.0 appeal of the text in Banff writing ;)

What a shame.

All your negative comments didn't really help, to be honest.

We are trying to look at ways to improve the forum, but with imput from members, in this case it hasn't really worked. but that doesn't mean that the forum administrators aren't trying.

We would also like to say thanks again to those who did enter

I'll be honest. None are grabbing me. I see a change to any of these as a step sideways not forwards. Don't get me wrong I'm not sure I have anything better but no point changing for the sake of it. Only improve.

Design 1 is vaguely familiar - where have I seen it before?

Design 3 looks like either a sign for a Magic Shop or a Home Counties Titty-Bar

Design 4 is indeed 'Bustom Cats' (see above)


However, I really like Design 2 - and that is the one you should go for. Good use of font and colour scheme.

Post by: Ryan on February 27, 2012, 09:48:54 PM
Lol, I do like number 2 aswell but just desnt seem right for some reason.

Can we have the second design with the current colour scheme?
Title: Re: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: will5210 on February 27, 2012, 09:49:52 PM
Number 2 for me too. It looks far more professional

Title: Re: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: gabbers on February 27, 2012, 10:16:56 PM
2 by far is my fave, however I would like the current colour scheme to say the same.
Title: Re: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: Bruce on February 27, 2012, 10:19:04 PM
I like design 2. Simple and classy
Title: Re: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: mattw on February 27, 2012, 10:26:04 PM
I like the same, but also No.2
Title: Re: CustomBats Logo - YOU DECIDE!
Post by: ianbuchanan on February 27, 2012, 11:05:11 PM
Some good designs there! I really like design 3, i reckon if the '.co.uk' part was also in white writing it would look top notch :)

To be honest Buzz the forum members weren't listened to when people offered ideas on how to run this competition. If they were then maybe better designs may have been put forward and going forward the forum improved but instead they were dictated to.

Just being honest here...

Well done to all who put designs forward though.

How is us letting you create logos and then vote for them a dictatorship? Gareth had his say, Tom was a bit more constructive, whilst Simmy thought there was nothing wrong with the format we used.

As an admin team we took all comments onboard and had a discussion offline about re-launching the contest with different rules.

We decided we stick with the rules we had to see how things panned out.

We COULD just change the forum however we want to, without telling you. THAT would be being dictated to. Instead we tried to get people involved.

i see the white bits have been fixed round the top logo :D

Post by: Howzat on February 28, 2012, 10:34:35 AM
They are fairly poor. How is design 2 ever going to work on a black background?!

PS. The font used on Design 1 is not the custombats font that has been used previously on things such as the stickers and the current banner

Might not have to be a black background anymore, think that was put in the OP.

With respect I don't think any of the admin team would be able to change the theme ;)

Now there's a challenge if ever I saw one... not like it's a hard challenge...

A bit like adding google analytics to the site really, but easier!

It seems easy... all you have to do is download it then click install in the admin section right? Well the forums convoluted code (yep my fault) from where add ons and mods have been installed will have other ideas!

Kudos to Marcus Charman who told us we really ought to have a strapline and designed us one, and also to Tomtek who had the final idea for what the words should say.

Fingers crossed it shows to our members that we are evolving and moving forward
