Title: New t-shirt logo design
Post by: Crankedupgear on March 04, 2014, 10:47:37 PM
Hi guys, I am working on the t-shirt logo for the order, and I have been trying some things to make the logo pop, verses blending into the shirt. I pulled a 'swoosh' that looks cool from another image and want you opinion, do you like this? I was looking a circles, but everybody does that...so I wanted to be different...this is very rough, I don't spend a lot of time cleaning up the art, as I pay someone to do that foe me with better software than I have!

BTW, you guys always ask, do the proceeds go to support the site, YES, this is an order for spiritaces, we are working together on this. I have to change the logo a bit for the white t-shirts, so I am looking at ideas to jaz it up a bit, while fixing the problems.
From this:

to this? the black would only work on white...

please post if you like any of the rough concepts, trying to get a feel of what you guys want on your shirts.

thanks!

I wonder how the quad will come out when it's on the shirt.. My initial thought would be to use just the TRX250R.ORG piece on the front chest (omitting the quad in the background) and then using the full logo (with quad) on the back of the shirt.

Could these shirts be made for little ones? I have an 8 month son & would love to get him a .org shirt in the 1 yr old size.

I do believe, the first run of t-shirts has the "R" silhouette. I don't remember so well. I haven't wore it in awhile. Guys, confirm! :concern:

that is what we are doing, and I have to redraw the quad so it has a bit more of it showing...you are on the right wave length!

sure we can do any size, but we would have to do it different as the left chest logo would be center front or back on that small of a size. we can do ladies t-shirts for mom too!

Personally I really liked the design on the tees you did on the last run but would like to sell it on a white tee. It was simple but jice. Just my opinion

here are some pics of the little ones, the 12 month size is 11" across the chest, the left chest design will be about 4" wide, so it's perfect for the center chest or back.

I'm not really loving the tribal. Its like the old guy that wants a tattoo to be cool. Classic tramp stamp design. Sorry just my opinion. I like our logo with the silhouette. Or just the logo. I like it simple. Looks classy.

Would it be possible for the "Fourtrax" logo on the quad to be red? I think that would look cool.

I'm not a huge fan of the tribal marks on the sides, but i'd buy it regardless

Agreed, some red on the bike would make it pop out there

You should try something with a little more creativity:

That looks good too. Or how about a 2-stroke piston? If it's not going to be a quad in the background, something 2-stroke related would look good

I like where this is going! A piston or pipe like you did would be good

The piston and rod thing is over done in my opinion, Troy Lee Designs uses that on there new jerseys...  plus I've seen it on several logos.  The 250r pipe is iconic to the 250r, the piston is 2 stroke...

Maybe swap out the "handcrafted to perfection" for

"Simply the best"

So I understand what you are saying, the one above was taken from the image at the top of the forum home page, it is laying on black, so when I take the black off it looks like that. It is the same logo.

this is the full graphic spiritaces sent me, but it needs better defination for the quad to be reconizable, which can be fixed for full back. that is what I am working on, and why I was asking about adding the swooshy lines when i fix the quad...

Although I have tons of artwork with pistons, gear, pipes, I thought you all would want to have some thing original to the forum. spiritaces wanted to go with the logo like before, but it will not work for white t-shirts so we have to adjust it. I don't think he wants to entirely change it, I offered two of my designs, we own these, as we made them up from photos for our website, that i can put the logo (words) with...

so the project is to make a t-shirt design and sell those shirts to make money for the forum, and have fun wearing them!

I still like this better. Plain white tee with just the trx250r.org on front smaller by where a pocket would be and then troys design big on the back. I think the tribal thing and or quad make it to busy. I like simple its classy. Again only my opinion. More people should speak up this could be the differenece between selling alot or hardly any.

the pipe design is cool but most wont know what that is.  people wont identify with ab ATV when they see a pipe.  however, it could be a good conversation starter.

Any quad logo, has to look like a250R. No imitations! I know this would be more work. (We need to get it right) Can you take the sites logo, the one below, outline the wheels, rims, motor, etc. in black. That way it would show on white,
and on darker shirts, it would still look like the original. Just suggesting, by all means I'm not a graphics designer. Just brainstorming. :eagerness:

Iike the original logo personally but i think it didnt show well enough. Maybe  make the quad  a little  brighter? Id prefer no designs on the sides but the red does look the best.
Cool logo troy!
