So, which logo do you like, if any?

Click on the links below to view the images.
Logo 1
Logo 2

Speak up, say you like or don't like, pick one ;D

If you don't like either, state what you don't like, or any preference you might have.
 
Oh yeah, if you think something needs to be changed with either of the 2, state that also :)
 
I like logo one, but think that the Virginia on top should be straight and leave the curved text on the bottom.

Just mt .02
 
I think vawhitez66 has a good suggestion, that may be cool. Of the 2 currently posted, I like the 2nd one better.
 
Of the two, #2, but I agree, they're a little busy. Mind if I take a crack at one? I don't want to step on anyone's toes though.
 
Have at it, and email me what you have :)

We each have our own preferences, and I personally ( but that's me ) think it's to busy. Now a SOM color, that's kinda busy :)
 
With something so busy, one will be hard pressed to see anything other than a muddle of color and print when driving past. The most successful logos are simple. Think of Coke, Pepsi, Apple computer, eBay... etc. Something that will pop out grab the passerby. Easy to scan, quick to read, that type of thing.

Out of curiousity, what's with the shape? Is there a reason for that or just something that was tried? :)
 
Something that was tried ( I'm not the author ).
Everyone is doing round, everyone is doing the state as the center peice for their logo. Something different is good.

For busy and the colors, the placement ( IMHO ) of the colors is fine, and makes it distinctive and recognizable due to it's shape, even at a quick glance.

Ebay is a 4 color 4 letter logo.
Coke's thing is really about the red color in itself.
Pepsi has a three color bottle cap.
Apple is an apple ( not overly original ) but they have had multi-colored ones. This was about shape.

I think a blending of shape and color, not just one or the other makes it more destinctive.

But, that's just me :)

You really don't want the SOM nation mad at you, do you? >:D

Does anyone have access to .jpg versions or clip art of the AV alphabet? I have very crude programs to work with, so I can't say I'm going to come up with much of anything, but I'll enjoy trying.
 
Not bad, I like the 2nd one myself. One of the firemen here at my station, his wife works with graphic designs, maybe cut us a deal. She got us real nice 6" lettering for our front bay doors.
 
I like number 2... the funky "tails" on the lower lettering of number one is a bit much. If that slope were stretched out a bit, it might be better.

I like ChevA's logo, except for the size of the lettering. Avalanche should be bigger, IMO... after all, my truck is more important than the Commonwealth! :p

How about this? :D

I like it. (y)

It's simple and easy to read. Now, if we can get them made with the state of Virginia in the color of each of our AVs.

SOM Nation!!!!!!!!
 
Ok, based on this, I'll pull Logo 1 out of the running, and I'll wait till Sarav is done, and put a poll up for Logo 2, ChevA's, and Saravs design.

 
One common problem in using the AVALANCHE font is making sure the spacing is correct.

You need to add a space between the VR in CHEVROLET.

The spacing is an anomoly when using this font.

GMAN

I like # 2 by the way, Thanks for asking! ;)
