New Logo Idea's

[Juice]

I have been talking with a graphic design person for logo design idea's for T-shirt and stickers. They want over $500.00 to design a logo. We are going to have to make due with our own resources for the time being. I have been working on these 3. Any idea's of suggestions?

Check out http://www.cafepress.com/ The local Baton Rouge kite club has all kinds of logo stuff at that site.

You can do thongs too, so Craig should be happy.

[Juice]

I have checked thoose guys out already. They handle everything for you but $17-$19 is to high for a t-shirt.

May need to shortened the logo. Just my 2 cents.

[scooterhose]

Maybe I can get K2 interested, she has desighned logo's for some karate studios before. She's a great artist.
She is familiar with whats involved. Then silkscreening process requires separate drawings for each color. I don't know it may be easier now?

What have invisioned?

Although she likes animal forms more than techno stuff. I.E. mechanicl things.

Give me your ideas.

[Juice]

I'm open to suggestions. I was thinking something like a dual-sport bike with the Dual sport Riders of Louisiana arcing above the image from left to right. I just need it to look very professional. maybe a slogan under the pic.

What about cutting it down to "I ride a dual sport" with a pick of a bike under that, then the .com in smaller letters below it. simple, but informative...:) Give it that old school "dazed and confused" era look to it.

[scooterhose]

Given it La. How bout a gator or a crawdad on a d/s bike. Maybe a crazy cajun? logo across the top or bottom.

[Drivin&Cryin]

My daughter took some graphic design classes in college. I will see if I can get her to help you out.

[BOILERMAN]

How about the Shocker hand sign and a caption. "DSROL- We ain't scared to take the dirt road"

Heeeellll Yeeeaaahhh! That is awesome!

[Doug]

something like this...

[Juice]

Nice Job Doug.

You are definitely on the right track. That is a rough sketch of what I had in mind. Can we make the letters completely circle the bike?

The logo picture and idea is really not that important. However, what is important is that it looks 100% professional.

[bayoubikebruiser]

Round logos rule! You can put 'em anywhere on the bike. The long one would be good for.....um, you could put it....on the garage door! :p

[Doug]

header style...

[bayoubikebruiser]

How 'bout a "yin-yang" of dirt and tar with DSRL across it?

Hmmmmm.... the noob's opinionated, no? :cool:

[Juice]

Thanks for all the input guys. I have tons of ideas but we really don't have the means to put those ideas to work. I'm moving in circles. I'm just going to have to fork out the bucks and leave the design to a professional. If all goes well T-shirts and stickers will be available in a few weeks.

[Rocky]

Sweet, I can't wait to get my DSRL gear. You should also do caps, mouse pads & coffee mugs. Stuff like that. The ideas are unlimited.

Yes don't forget the "official destination" stickers.:D

I like that!!! If you could get a sticker of that with the bike and letters on clear (transparent) weatherproof vinyl, that'd look killer on a number plate or tank.

[Doug]

Here's one just for little cool man...

Thanks Doug

I can't wait to show the little guy. He will get such a kick out of that.

HOW ABOUT......

[scootertrash]

It looks like it's on a big sunny side up egg.........

[Doug]

HOW ABOUT......
http://i1.tinypic.com/rtjhqa.jpg

Good graphic concept.
Maybe modify the motorcycle graphic gas tank
and higher exhaust pipe
so it would look more like a dual sport than a cruiser,
then it would be great!

Here's a go-by:

[yankeegirl]

HOW ABOUT......
Holy crap! I like this one the best!

[monkey's_love]

Took me hours to get those letters in right position! And of course the whole time Mr. Noble was "can you change this" or "can you move that" while his lazy butt watched! Baby my fee for the logo is $300.00. Payable in shoes!:p



Holy crap! I like this one the best!

[scootertrash]

Still makes me hungry for eggs, and that doesn't mean I don't like it. But I would like to see a different type of bike on it.

[Juice]

I'm going to have the logo work and design done professionally. I called yesterday and talked with a graphic design person. Hopefully we will have something in the next few weeks.

[scootertrash]

Well my fiance chica thingy, just got her new computor that can handle all the programs she uses. I will see, I know she is loaded with classes and a intern. But I will see, I remember needing a better computor but she has that now.

[minig0d]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/minig0d/dsrla2.jpg

[Juice]

Damn Greg

I think that you have something there. That looks awesome. That is what I am looking for. What about color?

[Juice]

That is it Greg. Looks awesome.

Is it going to be transparent? And what about the color of the print? IF I am doing green or black Tee's the print needs to be white of some light color?

[minig0d]

Heres #3 inverted so you can see it on a black tee... I can convert it to .gif which will give it transparency but if they use illustrator or another adobe format its probably better if I leave it in photoshop format for quality purposes... just need to find out what format they need it in and I'll convert it over...

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/minig0d/dsrla3-inverted.jpg

[Juice]

That looks awesome in Black.

[Rocky]

That looks awesome mini. Juice owes you a colored hooker a steak and a beer for that effort. Nice Job

Brian, do you want it to have the ".com" or would that distract?

[minig0d]

So I don't know what ya'll think of the larger image... looks a little "lossy" to me... like it lost a lil too much of the original image's quality... honestly my favorites out of all of them are:

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/minig0d/dsrla3-inverted.jpg
and
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c303/minig0d/dsrla3.jpg

[Juice]

Greg

It has to be in adobe. When I convert it over it loses quality? Bad?

[minig0d]

Yeah don't convert it over... I'll send you the original in adobe format... I am at my house in New Orleans but I'll be back at my house in baton rouge tomorow (wednesday) evening and I'll email it to you then... was just fking round with the transparencies and all tryin to get it to look as good as possible before I sent it

[Juice]

Cool, Thanks Greg

[Flying Low]

this looks good y'all. it will look really good on some gear.

juice, will you be putting the website address on the shirts too?

[Juice]

Yes, I'm trying to find a way to incorporate it in. I'm just not a graphic design guy. Greg has done a awesome job. Maybe he can come up with something. maybe just a .com behind louisiana?

[DukeRyder]

I like it the way it is. I don't think we need a .com IMHO.

[minig0d]

haha let me be the first to say I'm unartistic as they come... my grandmother was a professional artist and my mom was an artist too but i have no art talent at all... if anyone wants to see this come out right they need to sit behind me and I'll manipulate the shit while they tell me what looks good and what doesnt lol ya'll want the .com in it somewhere or not? and if so where

[Rocky]

I think it will look to congested with the dot.com

[Juice]

Greg

I think I looks great as it is. I'm going to email a copy to the print girl and see if it is acceptable & workable. I'm just worried that it will have to be transparent.

[Juice]

I do have one more favor to ask of you. I need a small round one for some stickers. When I try to crop the circle and shrink it down it looks congested?

[minig0d]

shoot me an email over @ minig0d@yahoo.com and i'll send you the .psd files to send her and see if they'll work or not...

and what do you mean congested? you shrinkin down those circular ones that someone posted earlier?

[Juice]

Email sent Greg

[Drivin&Cryin]

So when Can we expect some DSRL gear? You should do tee's. sweats, caps, coffee cups, mouse pads, the works.

[Juice]

I'm working on that now. We are trying to get the Logo approved by the screen company. Once they accept the format It will take a week or two before they will be available to you guys.

[Rocky]

Hey Juice put me down for a few Tee's

[Juice]

How about this?


http://i1.tinypic.com/sdptte.jpg

[minig0d]

Thats pretty cool... that one would be easy to color in... I think since its so open it may need to be colored tho or it'll look like something out of a kids coloring book that isnt complete... know what I mean?

[Juice]

yes, I thought the same thing Greg. I got a email in to her, to See about adding some color.

[scooterhose]

No color makes it usalbe on more colored back grounds.

Simple black or white. or both.

My 2....

[Flying Low]

i think the single color (b/w) looks good. great graphic btw.

[minig0d]

Yeah but ya'll have to remember its gonna be on a dark green or black background unless the shirt is white like that it wont stand out nearly as much

[Doug]

Juice, I like the rider in action much better than just the bike!

[Rocky]

That Action shot logo Rocks. Juice Will you get me a damn shirt already.

[Juice]

You must first learn patience young grasshopper. DSRL gear will be available soon.


That Action shot logo Rocks. Juice Will you get me a damn shirt already.

[Rocky]

Yea, Yea, Yea, How long will that take? :D

You must first learn patience young grasshopper.

[Juice]

I placed the T-shirt order today. I should have them in my hands in about 2 weeks. Have patience little brother.



Yea, Yea, Yea, How long will that take? :D

[Flying Low]

cool. make sure you reserve one for me

[scootertrash]

Yeah, I hope you got one ordered for me to..... a fat kid size would be appreciated..... let me know what they cost.

[minig0d]

he said he ordered you a spaghetti strap womens version so he can see your manboobs and a matching thong too! j/k

now thongs/bikinis might be interesting to make... you cant buy them you must earn them by wearing them and posing with dualsport bikes for the website gallery!

[Pentabilly]

Actually not a bad idea....I mean tanks or spaghetti shirts for the ladies, I know there aren't too many of us, but in the summer that's all I wear. They usually run higher than t-shirts, but if you did a pre-payed thing it could work, only order what we pay for so your not stuck with itty bitty tanks to give to the guys....although that would make for a cute logo...all the huge guys in little DSR tanks...HAHAHA priceless!!

[Juice]

Greg and I have come up with this? What do you guys think? criticism is encouraged.

[scootertrash]

I have man boobs? And I am not posing on any bike in a thong and tank top!:mad:
