Something bold and readable like these? The brown logo is our current one, and I don't care for it. Everyone needs to slam away, thats why I posted the thread! You won't hurt any feelings here. My favorite is the third one down on the left page.

XT

Only inexperienced designers get their panties in a knot. This type of thing is part of the design process, and on a forum you are basically throwing it out to a focus group without the ad agency costs. :drink:

The XT combo in the one you like is fine, especially if YOU like it. And the colors are kinda unique. I would get away from the Mistral altogether. Use a bold face (I prefer all caps) so that small versions read easily.

Again, just my opinions that reflect my design style.

One little note: if you are payin a designer for those, he/she needs to learn how to kern. That 'VAT' combo is horrendous in a few of those samples. And don't change colors within the same word- that smacks of 'I couldn't think of anything else to do...' and will create problems for you down the road.

One other note: DO NOT use an outline for part of your primary logo- it will disappear quicker than the yelo.

Doc,

Are all of these dated?

YES

The Baja swoosh, to me, is ugly. I don't even like it on Bajas.

With him.

Don't do the swoosh - that is horrible. Almost as bad as Reggie's chain saw blade.

I agree with jayboat. Stay away from mistral.
I like where your designer is going with the XT but it's not quite there yet.
Right top is getting there but X is leaning left/t is leaning right.
Right bottom is cool, but I think I like the X and T on the same baseline.
If I get a chance later I'll try to illustrate what I'm thinking.

X & T on the same baseline. X is no longer leaning left.
My "XT" may be less compressed, but probably helps with readability.
Also, easy to read, modern, clean font for "innovations"
Hope this helps.

Wow, not only do I have a free focus group, but not I have you helping me with the design. Will I have to pay overtime for you to stay up working on this, and was Dock helping any?

I do like where the bottom two are going!
