Express GearLogo Design Contest

2 comments...could you make the graphic look more like a gear? A gear would have straight teeth instead of the angular look this one has. Also, could you make the graphic loo more like a G? I am getting feed back that if you look at this quickly, you could mistake this for Express Ear.

To expand of the gear graphic...#6 is a better example of a gear

I like the change. Could you give me another version without "When you need it fast!" ? Thanks.

We decided that we do not want the slogan "When you need it fast!" as part of the logo, so I put a few of yours in the the "Not Interested" bin

Could you increase the size of the Express font for both #10 & 11? We feel like Express is not being emphasized enough/gear is being emphasized too much

One more comment. The new gear graphic is better. Could you try adding some more gear teeth to the gears on #10 & #11? It still doesn't look quite right as a typical gear would not have the amount of spacing the logo has.

i like what you did with #14 & #16. On both, I want to see if we can continue to improve on the shape of the gear. Here are a few web sites with drawings of gear teeth that may be helpful:

Also, could you make Express a little bigger on #14? Thanks

#23 looks really good. do you think that you could widen grey circle segment that connects the gear teeth? For example #24 has a good thickness.

#24 is really nice. do you think you could do something with the text to convey speed? maybe put express in italics?

You should make sure your logo works in black-and-white for print.

Good point about the black & white. Both #41 & #43 work in black & white

Could we try a few things with #40?
1. Could you make the text for gear black
2. Could you make another one where the text for gear is the same size as the graphic and express goes across the top of the graphic and the text for gear?

Thanks for the new versions. I think I like #40 the best. I will be having a meeting first thing tomorrow morning to discuss with more people and will have some more feedback for you then. In the meantime, I would be interested in any other ideas you have.

On #42, could you add 1 more gear tooth to the gear? It looks good, but the spacing between teeth is a little too much and I think adding 1 more tooth will fix it.
