Fedora Lounge Logo - has it changed?

[Sharon]

I like the old one the best too. But if change has to be made, I like the red circle second best. I feel it draws attention to the site. I also liked the red lettering too or am I dreaming that it changed?

Designers opinion:

I like the black and white one. The venetian blind logo is VERY 1980s and the red circle is way too harsh.

 

[BellyTank]

True- I think all of the circles are a bit too line-heavy.

Looking forward to that!

New Colors

I really like the new color skeme over all. With the old I had to enlarge the type much more to read it than I need to now. That's the kind of improvement I like, it looks better, and it is easier to read.

Yes, the blinds give it more of a B&W film noir, early 40's L.A. detective look; without the blinds and with the darker image, he looks more like The Spirit, or Batman's Big Brother or something more comic bookish.

Bring back the blinds.

If you are a designer......draw us what you think would look good.

What kind of merchandise are you thinking about, MK?

I'd buy a t-shirt!

Check out the new thread....

Ok, that looks better with the blinds and the font color. Thanks!

 

[BellyTank]

Yep- the light/shade on the 'rim' and its colour makes a world of difference.

I really like the shading around the seal. It gives it depth. As for the blinds, I'm not sure on that.

Hope this is ok with MK. I showed this to him and he liked. This is in no way going to be the new logo, it's something that I did in Photoshop in my spare time.

What you guys think?

Why not add

a lady to pic. We now have plenty of ladies that have joined the lounge and I think it would be fitting to have them in the logo. Something along the lines of "Casablanca" type pic....Bogart looking at the lady. Wild Root I like your sample.

Just a thought.

 

[Wild Root]

Here, try this on for size!

Root.

PS. This is just for fun.

 

[Pen Collector]

Not bad Wild Root

Now do one that has the same effect that Wingnut did on his with the shadow and light coming through the blinds. Faces not distinguishable.

Hijacked this one, 'Shopped it and Lounged it...

Good choices, MK. I prefer the #4 option with the red circle. It stands out more and the lack of blinds gives it a "man about town" look.

I just got finished picking a logo for my new business. It can be harder than it looks.

[The Wolf]

just found this thread; adding my 2 cents

Wild Root's logos are snazzy but MK's logos are simple enough to reduced and still work or enlarged and still look great.
Nit-pickingly, the original red outline was too bold. Number two design is very b/w film but too subdued. The one currently being used, I believe you did number one, is the best of the bunch. MK, did you draw the logo? Nice work.

P.S. What no nose-art? Then you could high-end products like A-2 the logo on back(by the way, that's not why I'm the wolf.) Maybe I'm over thinking this.

Is it my imagination or has the Fedora man logo changed again?

(Has the red line gone?)

I noticed the blinds are gone, too, though that could have changed a couple of weeks ago and I just now noticed it.

I like this logo.

I like this logo.

I have to agree. It has that man in the dusk look about it. :cheers1:
