Logo Help for RaceHome.com

[TonyHuntimer]

Thanks for the input guys. I had thought of running the logo with a red R and H, but when I print, it will be black and white. I want to put a little space between the H and the leg that goes to the R. A single color will be easy and cheap to print on a white or black background.

I'll add those examples to the chioces for voting in about a week.

Additional ideas are also welcome.

Hi Tony, I like the shift knob idea and when I first saw it and read the stuff about it maybe being used as just the ball itself it made me think that you could put the letters H O M E in place of where the 1234 would normally be and all by itself it would say R HOME which would be kind of cool in itself.

Just a thought I wanted to share.

Well,

Here is my latest try on the new logo. I really liked the idea of using a tach in the "O", but the shift pattern lends itself better as the initials... R H.

What do you think?

Looks real good. And way better than my idea which was to get some of those "Homies" figures and do sort of a "RaceHomies" theme.

If you are still unsure about your design, consult with John McBride at MidniteOctanedotcom. The small tweaks he made to our log made a huge difference. Here's our new logo.

I like this one the best. Keep it simple.



The problem with the shifterball version is that the other text is italicized and the ball is not. It looks out of place. I wouldn't do italicized lettering anyway...it's so outplayed.

I have an idea.... I'll mock it up tonight, and have it posted. Been really busy.

...so the website is racehome, yeah. But considering your book, I've kinda been thinking it should be more like "Tony Huntimer's Race Home" Plus it's the way I've always read it in your sig.

I'm having a hard time getting what I want down... annoying me.

...but what I was thinking.
-simple racehome text.
-your signature as the main focal point.
-no additional graphics.

why?
-Markets you along with the site.
-Simple look allows more for changes down the line.

only con I can think of ... pain to make die cuts stickers from it.
Since I don't have my tablet anymore (I was doing so much project management stuff I all but stopped drawing stuff like that) I think I'll sketch it and scan it to get the idea in.

i like the shifter one

[TonyHuntimer]

Okay guys,

Here are the ones I have so far...

i like #6 from the top. says to me "this is racehome.com and this is our logo."

[Damn True]

Agreed, #6

[trapin]

I like number 7. In number 6 the shifterball doesn't really play a part in the logo...it's just added on in the end. In 7 the tachometer display flows nicely as the "O" in Home.

[Jim Nilsen]

I wonder what #1 would look like with the O black with white shift pattern? Or one other ones like 6 & & with a wider circle band around them. I do like 6 but 1 also is nice. Or #7 with #3 init with a wider outside band? Still more work to do to get it perfect but it is getting close.

Here is my attempt at it. What do you think? i just took the tach theme and worked it around a little.

[sg69]

couple slightly different

[TonyL]

Wow. Those look great. I like the first one you posted up.

the B/W one is great too. Home run.

[trapin]

Oh yes...that 4th one is KILLER!!!

Awesome! Tony....look no further. I think this debate is over.

Great work SG69!!!

[TonyHuntimer]
