Mach One ConsultingLogo Design Contest

I am getting some good inputs but I am still not keen on some of the presentations yet. I'd like the F-4 to travel in somewhat of a straight line. I prefer the sihlouette to be black. I'd like to see red/white/blue in the contrail of the F-4. I like the mach meter incorporated into the letter "O" on One. I like the bullet holes too. I don't think I really need the lettering "M" and "1" anywhere on the logo if the name is sppelled out. I'd like the word "Consulting" somewhere on the logo. Maybe if the F-4 split the words mach and One in an angle from the bottom left to the top right? The wording Mach One could be a dark contrast with metallic characteristics and the F-4 breaking the two words with a red/white/blue contrail in a sweeping format? Also, maybe sweeping the lettering in the direction the F-4 is travelling? Just ideas and thoughts. Thanks.

Hi, entry #24 is closer to what I think I am looking for. However, I'd like the sihlouette of the F-4 to be black and more visible. I would like to elevate the word Mach and lower the word One and have the F-4 fly up diagonally like you have in entry #24, between the two words. Also, empasize the mach meter a little more (like entry #14) and ensure there is a red/white/blue contrail coming from the F-4. The contrail doesn't have to be big but in needs to be visible. The words Mach and One can be darker (gray/black or metallic like an aircraft's skin) and the word Consulting would look better on the right with a slightly smaller font. Also, making the letters sweeping right or slanting to the right as if to be blown by the F-4 as it is streaking by would be interesting. Consider my moto: at the speed of sound somewhere in the rendition too. No one has thought about a green/brown/gray camouflage pattern on the lettering either. I will upload a pic of me in front of an F-4 many years ago to see what that pattern looks like. The color pic of the Phantom uploaded has a nice pattern to work from too.

I think there are many talented artists here and the ideas are flowing well. I am hoping that someone will capture the true essence of my thoughts in one of their renderings soon. I still want a F-4 sihlouette trailing the red/white/blue contrails like in #32. I'd like the Mach and the One to be offset (Mach higher and the One lower) like in #30. I like the idea of the F-4 slicing through the two words on an upward and straight angle like #30, #42. Make the contrail a little longer, extending through the two words with the F-4 on the top right? Maybe putting the motto; at the speed of sound, inside the contrail with a smaller and fainter font? The Consulting could be on the lower right like #28. I am digging the camoflauged lettering like in #38 as well. The bullet holes were an original idea from the onset and I still like them as well. The mach meter needs some work in most renderings but the idea reamisn the same. have the mach meter inside the letter "O" and have the needle on 1. The mach meter I attached in the build is a real F-4 mach meter. The airspeed needle is straight up at zero speed and gets to mach one at about the 8 o'clock position on the indicator. So the needle pointing to a 1 at about the 8 o'clock position on the dial would be most accurate. Checking in routinely on the progress.

Slowed down a bit in the last day. Looks like the top 5 are going at this deliberately. Things could still change in the ranking but entry #55 most closely depicts my thoughts on what I would like to see. Variations are still welcome and I appreciate your effort in the last days of the contest.

Last night of the contest. Seemingly a one-man race unless something incredible comes up tonight. Hopefully everyone has read the inputs to date and have made their best efforts. Still some time to WOW. Good Luck!
