LEGION SPECIAL: Update #17 - How MANY PARTS can You Break a MODIFIED Down Into?????

put the horse back on the side...... really....
also i like the white wide5 wheels.....

 

Very cool Kirk!

 

it really needs the white horse put back on it

 

Neat ride man..

 

Just get Josh Shaw to do the lettering and it will be perfect.

 

Input always welcome. I keep swaying back and forth between what I posted and what you said. Looking at old photos, logos are split about 50/50 between logo-y and overtly simple.

 

The horse IS going back on....somewhere.

 

Looks like Matt is hard at it and things are moving along nicely.

I need to stop by soon at take a look see.

 

Ditto!

 

No doubt! Wish he was closer!

 

Well, how can I put it... this guy said it best hehehe



I see nothing wrong with the baseball type underline and thought it was actualy a good place for the "special" and I wanted to try it 1st before saying anything. Sadly, I didn't find your original fonts so I went with others for the time being and even went a little further by also including the "18".

 

Hand painted Please!!!!!!

Honestly, if you have your favorite striper handle it you probably cant go wrong. Give him your sheet with the three ideas on it and turn him loose. He'll get the color right and make it flow.

You cant tell those artsy guys anything, they know just what too do.................

 

Cool, can't wait to see it in person. Which one would JCVD pick?

 

overtly simple is timeless.

 

I hate design nerds! Oh, wait, I'm one.

 

I'm not sure on logos... I think if it was mine I'd just give a striper my ideas and let 'em take over... I think simple would be best.. With maybe a little gold leaf..

You could always name it the Cum Dumpster... but that would require a whole different font...

 

After looking at Seret's avatar, I expected you to be a designer

I agree with getting some pro to do ya a simple hand drawing just to bounce ideas around...

Not that you're not a pro heheheh

 

word.
I know my opinions is just that, but that car needs nothing but to be driven... and that white horse.

If you got to put some number and lettering on it... less is more.

 

I dig how the letters match the "18"... but the typeface makes it read "LEG-IONE" not "legion". Makes me think it might be a filthy Italian word.

Or worse - look quick, squint - it reads "religion"

What do ya mean? I only live about a half hour from my mom's place..



-That cartoon about Type font is perfect!

 

Maybe you need a NorCal vacation.

 

I cant remember how many times Ive taken my truck apart..its fun!!
I need to get me up there and have a few beers with ya guys and if you guys need a hand,I'm no good... great progress dudes!

 

logo input, not that you asked...
The "L" just kills that logo for me, I think its because of that awkward ascender on the "g". Other than that, its looking awesome.

oh yeah, x100 on handpainted, but i'd be surprised if you weren't planing that already anyway...

 

Definitely hand-painted, of course. I like the odd ascender, in fact I pulled it down to about 2/3 of it's original height.

 

That so funny and sad at the same time.....I hate papyrus!!! I went as far as deleting it off my computer completely.

 

That font they used for that comic strip is sooo over used.

 

This one is pretty good too but could perhaps benefit from a white and red outline on the lettering to break that "G" up from the swoop. I think something like this would be perfect where space is an issue.

 

Enough about the finish.

How MANY PARTS can You Break a MODIFIED Down Into?????

 

Lookin' good....
Everyone seems to be commenting on the logo, And I completely agree.. It still needs a little fine tuning.. I dig the "18" but I think "Legion' does need a little help, I don't know if this makes any sense but it looks a little "fonty" and computer generated...

Hand painted is def the only way to go, and maybe you should let the painter make suggestions... There are still some great hand letterers out there.. John "Waldo" Glaspey is a very good hand painter out of Ventura, Ca... His typography is amazing.... http://thewaldoplace.com/

I have this original (drawn in color pencil & marker)


It might cost you more to get someone like Waldo to design the logo & hand letter it.. but I personally think it's the only way to go...
