Anyone got any logo ideas?

I'm seriously, SERIOUSLY at a creative brick wall.

Nothing will a football, football helmet, pennant, or stealing the ESPN design (I've been through every one of those... even the last one *cough*).

I can tell you right now man, don't plan on any creative ideas coming from me! lol

Haha.

I don't have a clue what you are asking about, Matt. :?:

Logos for what?

Posted: **Fri Jan 06, 2006 11:50 pm**

The new CFP website.

Right now, the logo is what you see up top (just text... the guy kinda goes with it, but its not logo-material).

I'm trying to come up with something that would make a good logo.

If you look at someone like, let's say, ESPN...

It's their company name, stylized with a line cut-out of the top of the letters.

Simple, easy to recognize, and it's a good logo (can be printed on anything and still maintain it's high quality).

If you take the football player in the logo up top that we have, he won't do well in print.

I've tried making the "CFP" fit into the shape of a football. It's lame, too typical. Football helmets are lame... I think? I don't know, you guys let me know if they are or aren't. I even tried blatantly copying ESPN's logo. Doesn't work, haha.

I've also experimented with some random shapes. Arrows, and little boxes, etc. Things like that. If anyone has an idea, try and tell me what it is... or draw it in MS Paint on your comp. Doesn't have to be nice, just get the idea across :wink:

Got it .... let me ponder for a while.

Think I got it :wink:

Suggestions still welcome, though! Ya'll keep thinking.

Wow. Nice job.

Did you use Photoshop for that?

Err, edit, I see the word 'vector'... so I assume you used Illustrator.

Is this KinneyDesign thing yours, or someone elses?

Posted: **Sat Jan 07, 2006 2:18 pm**

Yeah, I have Illustrator too... but uh, I'm not the best with that thing. I've used Photoshop since 1998 or so, and I'm just too accustomed to it.

I really like your work. I've been listening to all the music tracks for the past hour or so. Really like 'The Lonliest Road'.

PS - Too bad you don't live here. I like your drumming style. We could jam a little.

I thought I had the wrong web site at first[

This is where the Chicago Cubs logo is located.
http://www.chicago-cubs-baseball.com/
In 'my' design, the C is much thinner, almost like a 'ring'.
The F occupies most of the middle, and the P, is almost like a subscript.
That's maybe not the best description, but that's the logo I created, in a nutshell (no pun intended).
