I needed a logo....

[alien13]

So I made one up. Thoughts?

I haven't officially released it yet, still waiting to see if I'll have anymore ideas.

Its clean i like it.

Interesting. I feel it's cluttered. :shrug:

Kind of wide and not a font I would pick for a racing logo. Personally, I find the flags to be a bit over the top and I don't care for the fact that they interfere with the state image. Maybe put them behind the state and subdue them a bit? Proudly show off your borders? They kind of make the logo feel a bit unbalanced too due to the shape of the state itself. (look at the bottoms of the flag polls). Just a couple things that stand out at first glance.

I'm with Lessen on this one, it's a bit too busy. I would shrink everything but the background image too, it all feels kinds squeezed in. Then again, it's easy for me to say as I can't do any of this stuff.

I agree too. I would put the word racing in the bottom of the frame, or Wisconsin on top and Dirt Racing on the bottom just to open things up.

Wisconsin on top and Dirt Racing on the bottom just to open things up.

+1 to that. I think it would look better. At first glance, I was thinking Wii since the i was lowercase.

Still, it looks cool.

Yeah I agree Racing needs to go on the bottom and actually spell it "Racing"....I was thinking it was the name of a town...lol. Maybe make the flags black and white to add a little contrast?

In Okinawa we were Pacific Off Road Nitro....AKA "Team P.O.R.N." We had some interesting stickers.... ;-) Wish i still had some.

"Racin" stays as Racin, not Racing. The logo is for my site, WiDirtRacin.com. I wanted it too be busy, to grab attention after I get shirts printed. This isn't meant to be just a website logo, it'll be on window stickers and race cars.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I don't believe a logo necessarily has to be busy to grab attention. I do think the "I" should be capitalized though. In my opinion, logos should be fairly simplistic. Look at major brand logos worldwide... Nascar, F1, Pepsi, Marlboro, Ford, Ferrari, NBC. In every one of those cases you could wash the letters but maintain the stylization and people would still recognize them.

 

[alien13]

I tried it with the capital "WI" and it didn't look good.

 

[HPIguy]

I think simply moving the racin' to the bottom for symmetry would make a big difference.

 

[alien13]

I was looking at it this morning after everybody's comment, and I am going to make another revision with "Racin" on the bottom just to see how it looks.

Couple changes

Lol, I'm about as amateur as one can get.

Couple changes

I shortened the flags back to their original size, but left the writing on the bottom. Just couldn't adjust to having the flags out to the edges.
