Gorge Bike Fitter Logos

[Veronica]

And in my head I was seeing C as triathlon events, but that didn't quite compute, so I didn't "get" it.

It's been a long day.

The C logo is definitely meant to give an impression of the diversity of fitting that I do and to also have an "Old Timey" kind of feel to convey experience and expertise. Having said that, I would consider the example I've put up here, very rough. The text isn't balanced appropriately, the border is not finished and I would add in some decorative flourishes to balance out the negative space in the final logo. That's a lot of work, so I was trying to get an impression of if it was even worth working on further.

Of the current choices, B is my favorite.

I liked C, but I'd tweak it to add some simple wheels to the figures. As it is, I could potentially see someone with a sick mind looking at it and seeing something obscene.

That would be me... Sigh.

I like B. Simple, easy to read at a glance.

I like B. It's just plain elegant.

I like B and D. B is easy to "get", D is slightly more interesting. C looks kinky and A is just a little bit too busy for my taste.

If you wanted to go with A, I'd redo the design so that the R is less out of line with the other letters, even if that would mean messing with the bikes lines. I like the bike, it's just the letters that aren't aligned that rub me the wrong way. I like the oval around the logo.

eta: And I'd change the two T's in "fitter" (in A) to be aligned with the others too, for the same reason.

eta2: Ok, I'm all over the place today. I actually do like D best. The G in the centre is aesthetically pleasing.

From strictly a consumer view I prefer logos that don't require a lot of thought to figure out what it's saying. Simpler is usually better. I liked B. Have you looked at just........Gorge bike fitter (with the G having the wheel design)
Just a thought

[Catrin]

I liked B the best because it is both clear and simple - things I prefer in logos C is fun and was my second choice.

[Helene2013]

I like B too. C looks like sex positions. haha

[Wahine]

I like B too. C looks like sex positions. haha

This is why I aborted the idea of a Vitruvian man type logo. I couldn't make it look clean.

Thom also likes B. He mentioned that if you're thinking about signs, you want them easy to read and maybe have something different on business cards.

I like c best for complex reasons I'll try to explain later.

The negative space is good in C. Resist the urge to fill it up. Think of the logotype as a painting perfectly balanced in a blank wall. Let the eye have a ill' room to move. You'll have greater legibility. D

Trek - less is more - 420
