The proportions are modified in the logo though, It's skinnier normally.

Buddha , I didnt mean to parrot what you said about logos, I skipped your post somehow

As a rule of thumb, a logo shuold look good in black and white, simpler is better.Look at all the big companies, coke, pepsi ford etc.

I forgot about the b/w rule. If it is kept simple, it can also be used for some nice cut-vinyl decals and such. Here is our basic logo that we use for decals, shirts, ads, etc... Guys like having them on their cars too.

I wish I had my computer unpacked. It has my art program.

I want to use the same text, but use a cone as the "A" and the a cone knocked down on the end of raceHOME so the . (dot) can be the tip of the cone and the "com" can just be on the cone.

How does that sound?

off topic: Tony W. you have an exciting e-mail.

[gchandler]

Tony you should look into wordpress.org as a potential software backend for racehome.com. I use it for Hotrodhomepage.com and driftlive.com. The beauty of the software is that it allows you to concentrate on content and not have to worry about the labor of building new pages all the time.

If you like what you see and want some help setting something up, or just getting pointed in that direction, just give me a call.

Sorta like this?

Here are a couple more I was messing around with. A tach can be drag racing, road racing, autocross... anything...

Loveing the tach one. (the non italic'd one) But im thinking the tach needs a redline. even if the redline area is blacked out. it'll look more tachish.

Good job on the cone one.

[TonyHuntimer]

Those are pretty cool. I unpacked my computer and made this.

Tony, I wonder if you could lean the letters to the left, like it's leaning while going around the cone. It may make the logo look more "active".

Ahhhhh.... that's what you meant by the dot coming from the cone. I like it.

[Damn True]

I think if you italicise the text but have the "O" tach nice and straight you will have 'er dialed.

[TonyHuntimer]

I'll have a few different logos to post tomorrow. I'll let everyone judge which one they like best.

Thanks for all the input guys!

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?

[woody80z28]

The shift pattern is the best idea I've seen yet. Brilliant!

I think that logo would work even better with the RH shift knob to the left of raceHOME with a normal O. And the RH logo could be used by itself when the whole name is not needed. Nice work.

3 different looks with the RH shifter. 2 of them follow the raceHOME look with a lower case r

I have a few ideas... lemme give it a go, gimmie a week or so

I was art director for a few, and put in a lot of work on others.

(we went with the one at the bottom, needless to say.)

[woody80z28]

#1 and #3 look great. The 2nd one is pretty good, but it's less readable and doesn'f flow nearly as well. I also think the capital R looks better in the shift pattern. I'd also leave it b/w, no need for the red.
