I opted to do an "old style" engraving look for the logo. I researched the the Grand Trunk road and thought a vintage look would best portray it. I realize that most people will not know what the GT Road is but at least a depiction of a road will tie into the name. I tried doing just the stylized cobblestone, but the visual looked way too much like tire treads. lol That, couple with the name which at first glance may appear to read as "Truck Road" was missing the mark.
I also had a concern about how the logo is being written. My understanding is that the road itself should read as "Grand Trunk" Road and not as Grand "Trunk Road". By having Grand on its own it look like an adjective describing Trunk Road. (Like reading grand as in The awesome Trunk Road - does that make sense.) Anyway, I kept the font to a very clean and "classic" look as opposed to overly an ornate typeface.
Please feel free to suggest any changes. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on it however, since I am not ranked, I do not have a button that allows me to upload. I would need to be ranked, since the contest has now moved into the Top 5 phase. :)
Please post feedback to individual designers in their comment area. This help for several reasons: we get those emails and it also avoid other designers from taking a direction you meant for someone else and copying it. This ends up in disputes between designers which then can bog down a contest.
I'm not sure if you are aware of how the process works, but the contest is now in Top 5. Since my designs are not ranked, I do not have a submit button. I made the requested changes last night, but I need to have at least one design ranked in the Top 5. After you do that. my button will reappear and I'll be able to submit.
