Hayes Image said on Oct. 18 '08

This logo's in top gear :)

ClimaxDesigns said on Oct. 18 '08

might be a bit over done though

itsgareth said on Oct. 19 '08

Haha Hayes you joker!

@David: How do you mean? Is it due to both typefaces having the treatment? I did actually consider setting cycle shop in a commercial font. I just get carried away sometimes I guess LOL!

itsgareth said on Oct. 19 '08

Updated type.

ClimaxDesigns said on Oct. 20 '08

hy i think its the mark for me if you turned hte peanuts sideways then it should look more like a bike chain

itsgareth said on Oct. 22 '08

Yeah David I think that fixed it

logoholik said on Oct. 22 '08

I really like that mark! And yes you've got carried away with typography - even though it is very nice in this case it is competing with the mark, make it stand out by using complementing modern sans serif for eg. Cheers!

Just wanted to add here, maybe it's not even a suggestion, but I've noticed that logos in bicycle world in about 95% of the cases use ITALIC fonts... Don't know why but I felt just like mentioning this... Nice mark Gareth!

firebrand said on Oct. 22 '08

I'll chime in and agree with logoholik on the typography. Nice mark.

itsgareth said on Oct. 22 '08

Amended

fogra said on Oct. 22 '08

Don't use italics Gareth.

itsgareth said on Oct. 22 '08

I dunno, I think it works well, hmmm

fogra said on Oct. 22 '08

Sorry. Did you amend it again? Looks fine now. Maybe my eyes are italicised :/

itsgareth said on Oct. 22 '08

Sorry dude, I did update it again so don't worry your eyesight is perfectly normal!

firebrand said on Oct. 27 '08

I'm convinced that chain is moving! Nice update, Gareth.

itsgareth said on Oct. 27 '08

Thanks Roy!

ClimaxDesigns said on Oct. 27 '08

chain does look like its moving now, extra touch = clutch

Matheus said on Oct. 27 '08

woa, it's moving and I'm not drunk

OcularInk said on Oct. 28 '08

Thumbs up!

itsgareth said on Oct. 28 '08

Thankyou very much, David, Matheus, Kev! It's not moving though, I promise.

AlexWende said on Oct. 29 '08

Very cool effect & overall great after the update!!

logomotive said on Oct. 30 '08

Gareth, I love the mark but feel the type is still conflicting? Perhaps just down play the type a bit (not 2 types either) with subtle rolled edges? just my opinion.

itsgareth said on Oct. 31 '08

I don't get what you mean MikeE..

logomotive said on Oct. 31 '08

Gareth, I think it's the O and S throwing it off. While the design is round with rolled edges your type is acute sharp and many angles and very horizontal. I don't know everyone has different taste so it's just my opinion.

itsgareth said on Oct. 31 '08

No worries, I can see what you're saying and completely agree. I'll look at it as another learning curve, but I'm not gonna make any changes as I was actually lucky enough to get this one signed off :)

logomotive said on Oct. 31 '08

OK then well I guess all is good, sorry to make a comment then. Good job.
