Title: Designed a logo for my school
Post by: Ace_O_Spades on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 12:35:16 AM
gonna go on the T-Shirts the student society is selling... well... hopefully. I submitted it anyway. But the other choices are here (http://www.sfu.ca/~crim003/survey/logosurvey.html). Mine isn't there because I submitted it late.

the only problem with the second one is that they only want to spring for two colours... so we'll see what they say thursday

Are you guys studiying to be snipers or something?  Every one of the logos, including yours, had crosshairs as a major theme except the first on the linked page.

In any case, nice job on the logo.

I like the first one more. I don't like the shade of blue, not that the second one is bad... far from it. I just like the first one more... the maple leaf looks better red. :)

Maybe if the C was blue,, make the leaf and rest of the text red? Dunno.

If the C goes blue, then the outline gets lost. You'd need to use a lighter shade of blue. Or change the outline to a different colour.

It's very easy to change the colours on that logo, so when I show it to them I'll bring my laptop and we can play around with it

Interestingly, the only reason mine has a crosshair was because it was the element of all the logos which everyone liked, so I built it around that. It was more catering to what the rest of the student society wanted.

I think mine executes it better than the others, but I'm biased. The crosshair has a role in the logo, as opposed to being more or less just tacked on.

I definitely like the red one better.  It looks cleaner.

copy and paste, change xx to tt... remedies the link-back problem

Vote for my logo if you like it

I voted.  I actually legitimately like yours better.  Like, far better.

Btw, a word of advice for everyone voting: Don't vote by directly following the link. Open another browser window and then go to the url. This way, if there's a chance that they are checking referral logs, it won't lead back to this forum. ;)

I actually thought of that.

 ... after I already voted.  Let mine be the only mistake.

I'm winning, however they're deleting all duplicate results, so I may lose in the end anyway.
