Working some rough ideas around (some of you may recognize this from quite a while back). I'm leaning toward a flat/minimalist look with simple color. Keep in mind these are all rough drafts, but I'm always curious to know what others think (even if you have zero design experience). At first look, which do you like best (forgive the compression quality...Photobucket is garbage)
I'd say #4. I don't like any of the ones where the number 41 appears as well as the text. #4 seems less crowded than the rest of the logos.
Partial to the bolder font so 3,5,6 are out. I'm leaning toward #2 but I also like the number in #3. Id say a combo of 2 and 3.
You would. Color will most likely end up being monochromatic to easily adjust with a variety of content (Websites, Cards, Apparel, etc.).
I like #5 Matt... but it looks like I'm in the minority (especially if it's going to be monochromatic).
I wouldn't post work on a public forum if criticism bothered me. My response to Hooker was meant as a joke :D Thanks for the feedback. Definitely helps to have lots of eyes on it to catch things I'm not considering.
OK - I like #5. The reason being, I think once the brand is known, the text can be dropped and the logo and stand on it's own. #6 can also do that however, I'm just not a big fan of it.
