Dare... very cool concept. I do like the direction and would like to see some variations--maybe a little less "chunky" on the ST and more variations with the sword idea. I like the colors, or lack thereof :).
Here is another option I came across that I really like. It is a logo for Saber Industries in Oklahoma that uses a subtle "crossed saber" design on a shield. I think something like that would work well. Any ideas along those lines? http://loudthought.biz/main-landing-pages/logos/saber-industries.html
Thank you for the feedback. Here are few more simplified variations, evolving from striped ST initials, not too "busy", more minimalistic and graphically stronger + one different approach.
Love the font... it is my favorite so far. I would like to see some more (and different) variations on the mark. I have put together a number of pictures that may give you some more ideas.
how about some variations with these with the swords facing the opposite direction (i.e. handles on top, blades going down), as well as some different types of swords?
I really appreciate your submissions and great designs. Thanks again!!
Dare... thanks for your ever creative designs and variations. I appreciate you taking the time to work on these. After looking at the sword facing down logos, I don't think I like them nearly as much as your originals.
I would like to try one thing, if you don't mind... and that is making the swords and shield mark a little less detailed and a little more simple--so that it could be used more as a standalone mark, if desired. I have found a logo (that is a "Saber" company interestingly enough) that uses a very simple mark. Could you take a look at it and see if you can come up with some designs that use a more simplified mark?
Hey... I am not sure what happened, but a couple of your logos appear to be missing! My number one ranking was the black and white (similar to #55) but with the double solid line. Any clue where it went?
Yes....what happened was that doncorvair thought the highway verticals in the shield are copy of his road lines, he put those 2 designs in court so I removed them as I dont want any restlessness around it...I will make more simplified shield mark.
I can appreciate your integrity in that Dare, but doncorvair did not have any designs with the double lines, like yours... and THAT is what I liked most! It was my number one design choice and now it is not an option. How can you take my favorite design completely out of the running?! I am frustrated because I haven't seen any others I liked as much as that one.
I am frustrated too...the design was going in really good direction, but doncorvair already had designers votes against my solution ( its needed 15 votes against and there were already 10 - 12 ) from the contest so I had to remove it to stay in the game. Its just nonsense....I didnt want to risk to be erased from the contest. I dont know what to do now...
