Reduser Logo (contest?)

[Jarred Land]

What do you guys think?

 

[Mark Thorpe]

As an idea to generate cameraderie why not have a logo design comp for redusers?? Just an idea.

Mark.

Nice Jarred!
How a bout a no prize competition? (Or the prize might be getting their version on the site?) You be the judge, everyone get's a chance to contribute with their version?

Regards,
Andreas

 

[Jarred Land]

absolutely.. at the heart of Red is the contribution and input by you guys.. so by all means, lets have a little logo contest.

Naw, there's too just too much noise in that logo! Plus, who says RED is limited to 4k?

- Mikko ... will be firing up Photoshop later.

ITC Machine

Seems to be horizontally scaled about 250%

Horizontal scaling of fonts generally looks awful but seems to work quite well with Machine.

Mikko, its a font from adobe's fontfolio... Martin just posted a good link.

Glad to see everyone settling into the new home!

The logo consists of a circular linished stainless steel, with 4 symbolic rivets appearing on the letters representing the 4k. Instead of going for 4k, the K becomes the feature character with a denomination of 4 in the corner. This would allow for future successors to the red camera (6k , 8k etc) without tying the number 4 too much to the redusers.net brand identity.

Just a first mockup draft, but I'll rework some more. Jarred, could we have a flash embedding enabled on the forum? Id like to try out something in flash (an interactive aperture).

Cheers

awesome ace... love the carbon fiber and how the 4 fits in the slanted edge of the k.

 

[mikkowilson]

Nice looking work there ace!

Not sure I like the K so dominant in the name - it almost looks like part of the name. Perhaps expand the K so it's as high as the main text and the slogan - and srink & center the slogan uncer the "reduser"

Totally kicking textures though!

Supplementary Graphic for the identity posted above. For T-shirts, posters, events, and so on. Always wanted to produce a stainless steel aperture diaphragm so thought this could be a perfect use for it.

And my entry...

I've gotta say I like the classic "simple" style where the name speaks for itself...

For those wondering how it would look...
