Hey guys, this certainly is a hot topic. Nice to have a generally positive feedback.
I had a play with some other ideas http://koorb.co.uk/static/images/tglogos/logo-sheet.png, someone on my web site suggested a metallic look. I don't think I pulled it off particularly well. I agree that it would do with being more serious, like it or otherwise there is competition. Simple is good, but so is good detail. I reckon my favourite of mine so far may be the bottom left most (first 1 under "section 3" - sorry I couldn't be bothered to split them into different files so I just numbered vague areas of the image :-) I changed the G-gear a bit, don't know what you think. If anyone has some constructive ideas that they can convey to me, I'd be willing to try and put it on screen. I tend to be inspirationally challenged, which is why I don't do *this* for a living! However my brother is a talented illustrator and I may see if he would be willing to give some input. On the subject of colour, does anyone have a preference? Im not a massive fan of the greens used on the site at the moment (or on my logos), but like the current logo, it has kind of grown on me. I often lean toward blue's and red's myself. On the subject of pros. Just by the fact that everyone knows who Jon Hicks is is proof enough of his talent, good designers are normally know by reputation rather than promotion. If we are really serious about a *really* good, professional look for tg then we will need a *really* good professional! I enjoy playing about with design and such, which is why I have put the time into these, but the fact is, the talent and inspiration of designers such as Hicks is something I could only dream of all I offer is doodles of an enthusiastic wanna-be. Sometimes though maybe that's enough and one of us here can come up with something, or better yet collaborate to come up with something. Either way I'm going to bed now as it's 11:30pm and I was up the other night till 2pm with this (see enthusiastic eh!). Notte. - wow, long post! koorb
