SAU VIC logo ideas YOUR IDEAS WANTED!

[paulr33]

i agree with your comments. $200 is a lot just for a logo, considering there still printing costs etc to be paid for should we choose XYZ logo @ $200, they look good resized. i saw the original pdf and it looked crap, but now that ive seen a resized one it looks good (the orange / purple ones). anyway good for some ideas i guess

[Sass]

so what do you reckon? should i ask about the other ideas my friend has or just leave it as is?

[Al]

Great designs ted especially the first 2, those lights with the SAU logo (as previously posted) would look nutz.

Was very disappointed to here that your friend is trying to SELL these ideas, to a non-profit club, but i guess that's business.

TO EVERYONE:

We are looking for FREE ideas, as to get the club underway. So from here on;

Do not post or send your ideas/designs, unless you are willing to freely offer your art-work to the club.

It takes a little effort to design a good logo, but just consider what the club has to offer; cruises, technical help, socialisation, a place to buy and sell parts, and the list goes on. A small contribution in time, to design a logo, is just a drop in the ocean to the contribution commity members freely give to organise and run the club and it's events!

i'd be scared to use your friend's designs for ideas or aspiration lol, graphic designers have this thing about originality and copyright. If she's willing to do it for free then yeah more ideas please. If not then there's no point persuing that avenue.

[paulr33]

i like big angry font. its not her fault. i told her friend that we couldn't pay and never intended too as we don't have any money, hence non profit club

[funkymonkey]

big font fixed lol...

[pushead]

great designs, but the purple and orange really trips me out..

ted: I am hoping you can persuade you friend to donate the art-work to SAU as a favour to you. We may not even end up using the design, but on the other hand we may want to use part of it.

Shan: I suggest we remove the art-work as to not influence any new designs, till such time when it is donated (if ever).

[funkymonkey]

well inspiration is one thing, blatant copying is another, I'll let it be, could help an aspiring designer.

It was a little big, but we need to make that point clear to everyone else. I am sorry, but i do not consider asking $200 for artwork as helping.

She is trying to do business with a club that has no funds, and as you stated previously the money could go elsewhere, such a the club banner, membership cards, t-shirts, etc.

This was not directed at her, NOTE: "TO EVERYONE"

Hi Guys,

Here is one that I was playing around with.

Just plain with the Nismo sticker, insprirated by Adzmaz's car

[Sass]

i read my friends email as $200 for the final logo.

i dont know what it works out to for up until now etc.

if you guys dont want to even consider using anything shes done or seeing her other ideas, let me know and i'll say thanks anyway.

[funkymonkey]

thank youyr friend for her time n trying to help, but as I said before, we were expecting a design that was free, at this stage we simply cannot afford to spend any money on something as insignificant.

[Sass]

have done...

[R31Nismoid]

It doesnt have to be donated. We can pay, but how much is debatable.

$200 is a bit rich. If it were like $50 or something then yeah, i'd just pay it out of my pocket.

What is $50? I'd be willing to chip it up for SAU. It's only money for gods sake.

Not as if im going to miss it, i'm sure there are others out there who are of the same view.

I dont like that 'GTR' style 'SAU' logo.

Personally i think it looks like a poor imitation of a logo because we cant desgin something ourselves. I aint good at this stuff but thats my feed-back for ya.

skylineakt- that looks good. Something like that i think looks pretty decent.

We have to have Vic, Vic-club, Vic-Division... something like that, somewhere on it IMHO.

Whether it be embroided afterwards or not, it has to be there (on the caps that is)

You did say this was a SAU-Vic logo thread... but hardly any designs incorporate vic into it.

For t-shirts etc, we can do our own. Since when did we need 200 for t-shirts?

The MAS ones we only had like 50 of, so we can do an logo with 'VIC etc' on it easily, and for relatively the same cost too.

[funkymonkey]

ash, the order of 200 is for caps only, tshirts I'm sure James can handle, besides I think people are sick of buying more n more tshirts whenever we redesign em. I can get low volume ones done, but they are a LOT cheaper when you do em in bulk lots of 200. and since they're one size fits all its not really hard to make up those numbers acrossthe 4 major states where SAU is starting up.

as for the GTR style, yeah I agree its a bit unoriginal, but I made it that way so that people could recognise it easily.

And yeah I hadn't gotten around to doing the VIC thing at the bottom (mainly coz I hadn't drawn a V in the skyline style yet lol), my bad, but yes the logo must be made with a VIC in it, but one that can be removed (in case the other states want to use it as well). As I said in previous design threads, a free hat or beenie will be given for your efforts.

A further email from my friend:

Hi Sarah,

I've just gotten off the skylines website and had a read about what the guys had to say about the logo. I am willing to 'donate' the logo under some conditions. This is only to protect the integrity of the logo and make sure it is used as supplied and intended. (Sorry it's a designer thing!)

I guess the conditions are that as long as the time I am spending on the logo and other material doesn't get out of hand: i.e. too many opinions lead to too many changes etc! So maybe if you can leave it up to a few representatives of the club to decide, we won't run into any problems.

If there are any funds however little that can go towards the logo and the time spent / compensation that would be great. If not, I'm sure that something can be arranged. Skylines Australia seems like a great club / forum for all its members and suppliers.

Have the club ever asked the businesses that are advertising banners/ads on the website to contribute to sponsorship etc. I think that that may be a good way to generate funds for further SAU causes. As they the website has probably generated extra business for them.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

M

let me know what you all think.

Sarah.

[paulr33]

some food for thought

[funkymonkey]

hehe "designer thing" I can relate

As for changes etc, I should be able to do most of that once a general logo is submitted, its not that hard to fine tune the graphic.

as for advertising/banners, they do contribute financially to the cost of running the forums. Also you have to keep in mind this is for SAU-VIC, not the forum which is composed of an SAU branch in every statecoorporate placemen, tmarket penetration, forum integration etc etc). All we need is a logo design so I can incorporate it into all our stuff.

So basically the work of the designer ends when the design is submitted, we can handle the rest. If your design is chosen you get a free cap, and I guess an extra credit in your portfolio I'll put it forward to the members and we might be able to give you some financial compensation (ash has $50 on offer I think ) but I can't gurantee that.

Can we have our own special drift stripes too??
