I've used a "graffiti" type font to show movement and excitement. This fits well as tagging has long been associated with skateboarding. The rest is self explanatory.
hi sofa - thanks for your entries, they're great. i know where you're going with the tagging/graffiti angle. i think that half of my customer base might not "get" it. Longboards are at least half of our sales, probably more and if I throw in the parents, the tagging thing could be a problem for me.
I wonder if you'd be able to do a version of #38 that had a regular skateboard in there as well, so that maybe there's a longboard on one side of the logo and a regular board - different colour maybe, sloping down the other side of the logo, signifying that we do regular skateboards & longboards. i don't know if that will stuff it up because it works now because it's clean and simple but it's an idea. or maybe there's two board together on the left or something.
another thought is a version of 38 that has slightly more colour into the "skateboard express" text. maybe a black outline with the orange/red fade that looks good in some of the other logos ? thanks !!
No Problem I'm glad to do it. I'll work on a few variations of #38 and get them up asap. I'll even work on another version of #40 with a more traditional font.
thanks mate, i really like what you've done with 54. 38 is a challenge - i guess the simplicity is what appealed to me in the first place, so the variation adds something but loses something as well. i'm going to post a link to the x-cart template, so that people can get an idea of the site that it's got to match up with. thanks again..
hi sofa - i really like the new one (101). I've put it third at the moment but I haven't ruled it out - I'm playing around with the top 4 at the moment and trying to work out which works best on my site.
