Logo Design Brief

What We Do
Psycho Skate is a new skateboard brand.
Industry
Sport
Color Preferences
We're open to suggestions here. We're expecting to see some black and white in there and possibly red, green or purple.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
We'd like the logo to have a caricature and the word "Psycho" in large text and the word "Skate" below in smaller text.

Here's a web page with some images that align with the Psycho Skate theme:
http://www.skateboardexpress.com.au/psycho-images.html
We're thinking that the evil clown theme might work well with our brand but definitely open to suggestions.

The logo is representing a brand that is fresh, alternative and cool. It definitely can't be childish or tacky.
The logo will be going on skateboard decks as well as web pages etc. We're expecting that there'll probably be multiple colours in there but it's probably best to avoid designs that have a huge range of colours in the same design.

Thanks For all the designs There where a lot of interesting new consepts that have come up in the last 24 hrs and the top 6 are very close Comlab 01 and Cristianci have come up with something completely different to my evil clown concept but I like the looks of the overall designs and something works with them Thanks John

#75 Thanks This is probably the best style for a logo as it is not overtaken by the clown/skull
#50 This is still growing on me it is clean looking and using the o as character works , it probably needs some tweaking to look more psycho/evil
#64 your a favourite with the kids but I feel its a bit too busy if you know what I meen but Im warming to it
Thanks Everybody for all your Effort keep it coming

#83 is my fav...if I were a judge and couldn't vote for myself lol

I like #72 and #73 very clean layout and nice font :D

I have changed the top placings around as being a logo and being printed onto skateboards I am concerned some of the more complex , busy and colourful logos will have trouble blending into the graphics
I have had a lot of people check out the logos and all have said how good they are and what a good system but they have all had different opinions on what they prefer so it is hard to pick
#50 I like this because it is a clean sharp simple look so will be able to fit into most graphics . The o at the end of Psycho needs to be more noticeable and a bit more evil looking and maybe in a different colour as in #82
#75 Any more variations of evil clown
#87 probably better without splatter as it may not blend with boards background , A lot of people like your style of writing in #13 would this work with clown ? #13 is growing on me
#83 Good style can the clown be clearer
#82 Once again very clean sharp looking and character getting more psycho
#30 can you make bigger and more splatter
Thanks John

Hi Thanks everyone for all the input theres been some weird and interesting designes come out and thanks for all the skull and clown type characters but I guess I still have to go with something that can fit onto any background graphics on a skatebaord so I still have cristianci at No 1 because they are so clear and can fit into most backgronds . I still have concerns that it looks like Psych is the brand name so I am still not 100% so I need some variations , maybe Character in top of "P" so Psycho is more readable ?
jecrt thanks for all the effort but there is still something in character that is not grabbing me, hard to say just what but more sharper/cleaner image? hard to explain?
#75 charcoal still close but I get more positive input for cristianci images but my kids still have you No1
#97 illumina I would love to use this as Design for Skateboard but to busy for main logo
Thanks John
