Island Surf Co.Logo Design Contest

I like the simplicity of this logo, but it is just a little long. I think the wave could make a nice logo. I would suggest doing something different with the "Co." Either make it smaller or maybe spell out company underneath.

Hi Mike, I made some changes and tried to square the logo up a little more (hopefully to your liking)... also, FYI I own a screenprint & design company located in Southern Maine (right up the road from you) and have some friends in the business located in your neck of the woods that might be able to help if you are interested... also good to be doing some work for a fellow New England Business.

can you tell us what it is you like/dislike about the logos so we can improve on them?

I Like both 39 and 50 even though they are different. I see the wave as a potential Icon like the old Hang Ten had with the feet and Nautica has with the Sail. We would have interest in doing T's and Hats in a small way to start. We did shoes for a shirt company called Old Maui Brand. The logo had a vintage look that worked for both young and old. I think your catches both customers.

I'll throw some more variations your way... I think the logo has great potential but still needs some fine tuning I generally don;t like to put gradients in logos only because they can become a challenge in some print applications (ie. screenprinting & embroidery.)

small orders are fine, it is a good way to start building a relationship with your customer without it becoming a costly lesson to them. If I can be of any help please let me know via a Private Message... or there is a link on my website to email.

Also, the beauty of having a pictoral mark as a logo... you can alternate the type styles used as long as you incorporate the "the wave"... Billabong, Tommy Hilfiger & Nautica are some examples...

I like this logo a lot (#87). I would like to see a variation with the Surf below the Island and a small "co" similar to what you have in #50. Thanks!

I really like entry #95 and think the wave w. the palm tree could make a great stand alone icon. The font and outter box are a little too rigid for our company. I would suggest removing the border and changing up the bold text. Look at the current #3 in the rankings for a potential font idea.

I think you are refering to #109 but which font is it that you like, ISLAND or SURF?

I like the combination that he has there. It has a fun yet vintage look that we are looking for here, Also I would like to see something without the border.

Also, Not sure which Wave you liked better, I think I have presented a few different versions and am just curious which one you like best...

still needs some fine tuning but I wanted to see if I was on the right track
