I would like to have the flexibility to have this logo to be able to be animated as well. Here are a few starting points. 1) Some sort of Cold Front looking thing, with a surfer riding the front and maybe the front curling over. But not cheesy. 2) In a tornadic thunderstorm, you get a "Hook" like appearance when looking at a radar loop. Maybe have a surfer or car or something surfng the hook. (or a flying cow) 3) I want the words "Surfing the Front" on one line maybe on top of the logo, then "Storm Chasing Tours' on the bottom. . Thanks so much. I am really looking forward to it. Brian

These are cold fronts (blue) and warm fronts (red)

Also, here is what a hook eco looks like on a radar. Imagine this moving forward. It actually looks like a wave breaking on itself. Awesome!!

PLEASE READ!!

Hey All, I am really excited about this contest. As you can see by my briefing, this kind of company if VERY unique and I am looking forward to a very unique, defining logo.. I would like to have the flexibility to have this logo to be able to be animated as well. Here are a few starting points.

1) Some sort of Cold Front looking thing, with a surfer riding the front and maybe the front curling over. But not cheesy.
These are cold fronts (blue) and warm fronts (red). Imagine them curling over like an ocean wave.

OK. I think I just thought of the concept. Here is an idea I just did.. http://www.impressivecreations.com/storms/STF%20idea.jpg

Of course this is a very bad representation of what I want but please give it a go!! Thanks..

Notice on this type of radar scan there is the part of the "hook" where it looks like it's curling over? Flip it upside down and open it up like a wave. http://i40.tinypic.com/of25cg.png

Well, how about you make it much wider inside, and the surfer is coming right out of the curl towards the screen. Then off on the bottom then off of the top right you can have the warm front(red) and going down along the left side you can have the cold front.

Thanks for all your entries everyone..

So here is a picture of ME in a tube.. See how I am coming right towards the camera? That's what I was thinking for the surfer. Not the sideways surfer..
