Color Preferences
This shouldn't be more than two or three colors with black and silver(or bronze) being the anchor colors. Maybe another color for an accent but it will be for printed use. The logo should stand alone as a one color (metal badge) for use on the frames (so simple one color application for the icon part of the design) but also translate into promotional collateral like shirts, hats etc.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
luxury brands that have recognition via text as well as icon format to the logo. Examples like Bentley or Mercedes Benz, or the new corvette stingray icon. Oakley is a good example of a split use logo. Lexus , Acura and Mazzerati are also good examples of a split use design.
