the original looks kinda plain :N maybe we could get a member to design a new one.
i agree... and make different sizes because that size will go on a car but barely will fit on a quad when there are already stickers/graphics
It should be a contest. LMK knows his photoshop, he should give it a try.
I know photoshop I can give it a try :) give me a size and or colors you guys would like to see.
w/e color you wanna use, im guessin about 2, 3 inches wide, maybe 8 inches long?
I agree, it seems sort of plain.
come on reid, work your magic.
How about a die-cut decal?

I guess the way hes thinking is its "cost efficient" but people dont like em so they wont sell.
I'm sure we can get something cool and cost-effecient I can do it I just need an idea of what you guys what, maybe a silhoutte like the ipod logos of a quad jumping maybe? then one mudding? with www.atvflorida.com written someone where on it, just give me ideas on what you guys want I can pull it off :)

how about a half naked chick, and then in real small print you can have atvflorida somewhere, yeah, that would sell.......
Personally i like something basic like this that can go right behind the seat.

with out the black.
but we could use different colors, some may not buy just because it doesnt match.... we should keep it basic, but some type of cool lookin font would work.

I like that.
I agree too. Keep it simple so people will get to the website.
After all that is the objective. 8)
I've been in advertising (art director/creative director) for close to 20 years now. Here's my 2 cents for what its' worth.
Think beyond bumper sticker. Think logo that can be used in many applications, ie. sticker, hat, shirt, web site, banner ads on other sites, etc . . . A circular or more compact design my suit these applications better than a long horizontal logo. Would certainly do better on an atv or rear car window. Not everyone wants a sticker taking up so much space on their stuff.
Keep in mind that a good logo should work as well in black and white as it does in color. This will make it cost effective depending on how the logo is used (1 or two colors on a sticker/ full color on a site) Don't rely on a bunch of goofy photoshop tricks to "make it work".
Use an ATV in the logo? Tricky balance between showing a sport or a utility and what users will want. I'm a Utility guy and wouldn't want art of a sport jumping and I'm sure vice versa for Sport riders. Not sure the answer here - the bike might have to be a blend that doesn't really say either style - ambiguous. Maybe better to stick with a cool font modified for a unique look.
Yes keep it simple so it's immediately recongizeable. But, it needs a unique hook to give atvflorida an identity - don't just pick a font and type it out then call it a logo.
Once you have a good logo - stick with it. Use it as many places as possible. It will start to be recognized and do the work it was intended to do.
And lastly, if it's a well designed logo that looks cool, people will want to use it. They'll want to put it on their stuff. If not, don't waste the money printing it up.
the site kinda has a logo, a small florida state should be incorportaed in it... ;)

This is a logo already in use on the site. It is a sport quad, but covered up so its hard to tell what it is. I think it looks pretty good.

that looks kool
I originally made that for a t-shirt and never followed through with it. I was going to have it fill the entire back, and a smaller spot on the front. I guess it would work good for a sticker, too. Eh?

I think it would be a great sticker.
I gotta tell ya I'm sure some of the guys would love the one w/ the chick but I don't think it represents what happens and the type of forum that we have here. I think the mods would go nuts cleaning up threads.
And I'll never put that chick sticker on my truck or quad. I'd rather go w/ something simple and easy to read. I agree that smaller to fit on the quad or having 2 sizes would be good.

I cleaned that one up a bit to take out the yellow. I think it looks good.

Don't know anything about vinyl but a black and white logo might be able to be cut out. anyone know?
[attachment deleted by admin]
Umm, hmmm. Boy, I know I'm going to catch h*ll for this, being a newb and all, but here goes.
ATVFLORIDA.COM = an atv image and a florida image. Creative. Not to mention being a sport bike doing a wheelie and tearin' it up - really the image we should portray to the public? Pretty hard to read at a smaller size too.
Won't be going on my bike. But, I should't be complaining since I haven't contributed a design! :-\
simple.........
