Blacktop Graffiti need a new logo!!!! Who wants to give it a try?

Ok here it goes. I want a killer logo. Something that stands out, with balls. Please no actual balls.

Since I can't pay you for all your hard work, you get a lifetime half page ad free of charge. Of course the logo does become the property of Blacktop Graffiti Magazine.

So post 'em here and we'll have a poll or something and vote for the best one.

 

I'll give you a bump...might be interesting to see the ideas..

 

Come on artists out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Speak up! Show me your stuff!!!!

 

Sorry to say it, but I like your current logo just fine.....

 

I do to but I want something better. I want this 'zine to be first class.

 

care to provide a little direction?

what do you like about the current design, what don't ya like.

demographic?

 

Yeah, what's your niche? Who do you want to read the mag?

 

Cars with balls. Real cars. Honest cars. The current design is a little bland. Needs to be more edgy while still being readable.

 

I'm not worth a crap as an artist, but I'm willing to drop an idea on this.
How about a Trosley-esque drawing, overhead view, of a flathead or early hemi-powered A coupe, laying down rubber from left to right on a blacktop road or dragstrip. Let the dual tire marks spell out the "Blacktop Graffiti" logo, and you could use it as a banner across the top of the cover.

Just a thought......Roger

 

Sounds cool! Who wants to try that?

 

Here is what I came up with. A free ad in the mag would be great and also a job hint hint.

 

Not bad but kind of hard to read.

 

Here is with a little more nostalgic to it. When I first read Blacktop Graffiti, I think of the 55 in "Two Lane Blacktop" and the exact same car in "American Graffiti."

LMK if you want me to change the font for Graffiti or see what everyone here thinks?

 

i think the solution lies mostly in the typography. i'll bite but i don't have access to a scanner until monday.

 

Here's a thought for what it's worth....yeah, I know....NUTHIN'.

Envision you getting a famous tagger to contribute a semi-legible "graffiti" instead of the Subway font shown.

 

Looks good to me oldbobsign


Here are to more ideas:

This one with a different font that is more readable.



And here I combined my design with the original.

 

Final copy and ready for print.

 

id like a shot but wont have access to photoshop or illustrator until monday
would like to create a good logo to help you and also get a spot to help myself
try to hit you with something next week

 

There looking good. Keep it up! If we don't all fall asleep from the turkey.

 

At this rate, you're gonna end up with a dozen that you can swap around month-to-month!

***********************************************
Personally, I like this one, with the exception of the font for the "Blacktop" text. It has a sort-of Goth feel to it, and I suspect that's not the editor's desire of "flavor" in the mag. One could also swap around the silhouette for a different feel, too.

But then, I'm just another opinionated S.O.B.

My question is what is that black coupe on the lower part of the cover page????

 

i like the logo just the way it is

 

I might give it whirl. Im thinking simple modern graffiti font with a twist of the 60's. Heavy metalics.

 

How about a variation on this? i designed this for my So.Ill. Speed wear stuff, i can do something like it for ya. pm me if ya would like something like that. i'll throw something together for ya.

 

I agree what Ryan said. KISS keep it simple stupid. Or the band. I like them too!

That's Kenny George's '37 Coupe. Yummy.

 

heres another one i did, might not work as well but i liek it.

 

How about something like this?
