America West Motorcycle ToursLogo Design Contest

Re: Logo #1
This is a very classy logo however it would be good if we could make it a bit more playful. It is difficult to find a good balance between classy and playful, but in the end, the tours are vacations and are super fun. Some good logos to look at from other motorcycle tour companies:

http://www.imtbike.com/
http://ridefree.com/
http://www.motoquesttours.com/
http://www.compassexpeditions.com/

Something similar to these would be great. Hope this gives you an idea of what we are looking for.

Re: Logo #2
This is great. I like the movement implied in the design and also the western looking mountains in the "background". I think we are getting closer. If we had all our tours in the western US, this logo would rank very well, but about half of our tours are in western Canada. My fault for not mentioning this. So "America" is really meant to be "North America", and it would be good for the logo to have a more country-neutral feel. Thanks for the hard work!!

Re: General Comment
Some universal Western US and Western Canada symbols are: rugged coastline, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, glacier-fed lakes, and evergreen trees. The coast is a great symbol. Motorcyclists love riding twisty roads along the coast. Check out pictures of the British Columbia Coast, Washington Coast, Oregon Coast and California Coast on Google. Also pictures of Banff National Park and Glacier National Park.

It would probably be best to stay away from using the Canadian Maple Leaf together with the Stars and Stripes on the logo. It would limit the scope of the company, in case we ever went south with our tours to Central America and South America.

RE: Logo #3
Like it! The color scheme on this one is nice! OK, so more information I neglected to give you: our customers ride Harley Davidson Road King Classic Motorcycles. You can Google this too if you want to see a picture. I like sport bike logos and am open to them, but since we ride American cruiser motorcycles, it might be best to use a cruiser in the logo.

Client extended due to weekend.

Just trying to sort these so that I and a few others can get a better look at them. They are all really impressive. Thank you.
