The Moto ChannelLogo Design Contest

We are a motorcycle video website that offers completely original content featuring all types of motorcycles and aimed at everyone with a passion for motorcycling.

Please no purple, no green, no brown, no grey. Also this logo will never be depicted in black and white always in color and always on a white or light colored background.

Please note that we are not limiting our audience to the custom chopper motorcycle crowd. Because of this, there are several symbols that we do NOT want featured in our logo as they are typically strongly associated with the chopper crowd. So please, no smoke, no flames, no chrome, no skulls, no pistons, no wrenches, no burnouts and no women in bikinis. You get the idea.

Please also note that the logo is for our website's banner, located near the top of every page and we have a specific size canvas or palette that we want the logo designed for. The exact size canvas that the logo will fit on is 721 pixels wide by 172 pixels high. That is a width-to-height ratio of 4.2 - to -1. See www.themotochannel.com/logoauction.html for a better look.

Because the website will feature many different types of motorcycles (every single variety), any motorcycle, either whole or in part, featured in the logo should not be a specific type of motorcycle, but more a generic depiction of one. That's not to say that you must incorporate an entire motorcycle. Perhaps only a part of a motorcycle, or perhaps just a motorcyclist or the gear that a motorcyclist wears: helmet, gloves, goggles, boots. We really aren't sure what the logo should look like, just what it shouldn't look like.

Although the logo is for a web site, Please do NOT put ".com" or "dot com" on the logo.

Although the website audience will be mostly male, there will be some female visitors so please do not make the logo overly masculine with themes like skulls, pistons, flames or women in bikinis. The main attributes of the logo that we want to convey are action, passion and excitement, and not aggression and masculinity.
