Who wants to make me a logo?
 

I've tried getting a few people to design me a logo but nothing ever comes in a way where I can say "wow". Basically, I'm looking for a logo for my shop which I've decided will be called "RX-Tuning & Performance" or RX-Tuning for short. Describes what I do and is easy to remember, what do you guys think?

Maybe we can do a contest and winner gets something, ionno. But anyway I'd like the logo to suggest the rotary connection with a rotor etc. Possibly a rotor mascot similar to Nextmod? I like the color blue (clearly) but also like simplicity. I like the RX-8 font too but I don't think that is an actual font.

Should I do a contest? :D

Marco, I'll give it a shot. If you have a concept LMK

Love the RE Amemiya logo's and RXeckless sig logo LOL

i have no artistic ability so I am of no use to you:) Should post the different logo's too:)

I can draw penises

If someone draws up a logo as a solid model. I'll try and machine it.

If I do something free tune or lessons in tuning (If you like the design) PM (your email) me have a basic concept, no Rx-8 font but I'll make it work!

Marco, are you working out of the TAG facility now? I live about 5 minutes away from there and that makes you hugely handy for tuning assistance, LOL.

I'm no professional but I'll give it a go!

I did these up in a few minutes between classes. Obviously colour palette and font are completely temporary just to give you an idea. Whaddaya think? I'm not sensitive so feel free to be honest.

Maybe the Circle a Rotor instead ? just a thought :)

I thought about that, but it would make it a bit more difficult to do stickers that way I ignorantly assume. I say that because as everyone knows, stickers are the best form of low-cost JDMfanboi marketing!

This one mates the Canadian theme and the Japanese red circle thing, as well as a better non-conflicting colour palette like the previous blue and red and has a more professional-looking font. It just doesn't have the blue.

Put two small rotors on each side of rx-tuning. Throw some atomic graphics/dragons to appeal to the inner bad ass and away you go :)

I like your logo. Simple. You can identify the number and business name easy. Sometimes things get to complicate/graphical. I like the fact you show first gen and third yet you are missing one generation. :) The last one. RX8. BUt you can't skip the third gen.

Stole the logo from a aussie site but I like the concept. needs work, colours etc. used RX-8 logo as well.

I don't want to seem like I'm spamming the page so I'll just provide these next two revisions in links.

Simple icon that will be readable at any size and there's no question what you specialize in. Colours are just a suggestion, they can be anything.

This is it!

Shit's getting intense. I have to up my game

Sorry about taking so long to reply guys, been a little busy this week. But thanks for all the input so far, I wasn't expecting this many different ideas. But this is what I was hoping for, to have a few different ideas as I had no idea what I really wanted. I guess I'll put my input thus far...

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7365/1...d9f659f1_o.jpg

I actually like this design as its quite different. It is a little big/complex/colorful which wouldn't work as a sticker too well as most people don't want to have big bulky stickers. I can see it working for a business card though. I like the Toronto, Canada part, Canadian rotary pride, we need more of that! Issue I see with having the cars, is it would be difficult to include all generations, or would it?

https://www.rx7club.com/attachments/...-rx_tuning-jpg

I really like the rotor and love the font (exactly what I wanted font wise). But the wizard! Where did that come from LOL, I don't see me ever loving that. This might work as a sticker if its made simple enough. I don't know about the RX-TP, it sounds funny to me, what do you think?

https://www.rx7club.com/attachments/...2-58-17-pm-png

This is the kind of simplicity I was looking for a possible sticker.

I had an idea also if anyone could create it into fruition. I made a quick paint sketch of it. I could see it working as a simple white sticker like Nextmod's. I just put the rotor holding a turbo and a rotor but the mascot doesn't need to be holding anything. I just thought it would make my 2 second paint drawing have a little more content compared to you guys. You guys are awesome, I'm already smiling.

https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1393047698

I got the idea from a customer of mine that had a rotor giving it in the butt to a piston. I thought it looked kinda cool...

thewird

the wizard looks cool.
.Opinion?: what about just put RX on the wizard's Head(instead of RX-TP)..then put Tuning and Performance at the bottom.
Performance would be all along the bottom,under the Rotor with the wizard inside it,the TUNING and & would be on the wizards smock.Beard tip area.)

you may get the idea like this???

...................RX............................. .
................../Wizard\............................. .
................TUNING........................... .
....................&............................. . .
............PERFORMANCE.................... .

If ever, oh ever a wiz there was, The Wizard of Oz is one because

Wizard Of Oz - We're Off To See The Wizard Lyrics

The black art of tuning, the man behind the screen, the Great & Powerful Wizard:lol:

I'll see what I can do on your idea. Cartoon Rotor holding a turbo, got it!

The RX- is the actual 8 logo, the balance a font, T P is hand lettered from the logo outlines.

I think you should draw inspiration from the TEIN mascot when making a rotor mascot. Or maybe something epic like the cartoon rotor holding the turbo over his head like a trophy.

While I was looking for some inspiration I ran across this, I just had to post!:
Man Action ROTO by Rotary Art and Mad Joe*|*Plastic and Plush

To get all the generations what if you moved the wording down a little and had the 4 generations rear end facing you going 1st gen 2nd gen above the wording and 3rd gen RX8 below the wording? Get what I mean? that might crowd it though. just a thought if you wanted to get the 4 generations in there! Let the designer figure it out. Personally its the one I find the most appealing

Marco really rough but:
Need to play with faces & another arm

Here's something I threw together. Hopefully it will provide a little inspiration for the face. I would suggest keeping it as simple as possible. A complicated logo isn't fun to look at.

Attachment 525190

I like it without a face, your choice.

https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...2&d=1393355275

Without a face definitely works

with a face?

Are you looking for a logo or a sticker? or a logo you will use as a sticker also? I think you can get a nice intricate logo for the company, business cards t-shirts etc. Also get some simpler designs to put out as promotional stickers

Sent from my Nexus 4 using RX7Club

I was wondering the same thing

I think I'd like a nice intricate logo for business cards and such but I also need a much simplified one for sticker purposes. Something that people would like to put on their cars. If its too complicated and/or bulky it becomes an eyesore for the clean cars. It would be nice if the "sticker version" was a dumbed down version of the main logo but I guess that would be more difficult.

Sorry, for the lack of input. I've been pretty busy as of late and always tired when I get home.

thewird

Just brain storming...
Instead of "The Wizard of Oz" try "The Wird or Rotary" or "The Wird of Rx"

And you prefer the RX-8 font? I like the original RX-7 font, but I'm old school.

Or how about incorporating the epitrochoid shape, into a character like Mr. Peanut. But make him look like an Evil Wizard. Give him a Triangular head and a turbo belly.
(Ok, I'll stop now.)

Incorporates the blue, it's simpler and has all three generations. Also has 80s styling cues with the block letter duplication. This one is more a sticker design.

I liked the one that looked like the Pespi logo. You know, considering that you're always drinking Pepsi, might as well let everyone know you tune and drink Pepsi

This is my final revision;

Marco, have you really figured out what your want? Just wondering thread kind of died.

Yah, I think you guys were trying to hard with the fancy stuff. I currently like this one for a business card... I think it just needs some updating with the fonts and cars and put in rectangular business card form.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7365/1...d9f659f1_o.jpg

For a sticker logo, I think a simple text sticker will suffice. A rotor would be nice but it would have to be simple to stay "clean" if you guys know what I mean.

thewird

So, is that a confirmed yes for the Pepsi logo? I can make it in business card format then.

It's the one I like the most so far. I like simplicity.

thewird

Great, I'll start working on it then

Hmmm, I am late to the thread but I liked the wizard one. Truly tuning is both an art form and a lot of wizardry, because only a few can do it well!

Since I spend a fair amount of time on these, I think I'll do myself a t-shirt or two of each. :nod:

Are you still interested in submissions? I'm by no means a graphic designer but I'd like to give this a try.

Yup. :)

I think that turned out alright, I'll try a couple other things as well. That would definitely make an awesome marquee.

(I just put wankel down for fun)

Or Black Background

Do a set for me....

I'll take a couple white ones.
