Lightbulb Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

In the past, I have done all of the graphical work on the site myself. While trying to come up with a new logo for the site, I have come up a bit dry on fresh ideas. So I am asking for your help as many of you are competent in the graphical arts. This will be the logo featured at the top of the site, on every single page.

What I Want:
  • Colors: The colors of the Scremin' Serpent (bright green, purple, grays, blues, etc)
  • Font: I like the current font a lot (SoopaFresh), but other fun fonts can be used too
  • Slogan: it needs to say (without the quotes) "K'NEX, CoasterDynamix, and More"
  • Size: It needs to be quite big when made for the first time so it can be made smaller for different uses. Use like 1200 by 600 resolution

You can make as many logos as you want. Just post them here when you have them. I will have a poll at some point so users can vote for their favorite.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

Sounds like a job for SPITTY!!

...I'll do my best. Getting to work on it.


EDIT: For anyone that wants the 'Soopafresh' font (the current font in the logo), here's the link to download it (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS SHAREWARE);

http://www.dafont.com/soopafresh.font

Also, make sure you don't use any fonts that only allow for personal use. SSCoasters could get in trouble for it.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

Here's my basic attempt. This is only the first idea, and based on feedback, I will improve and change elements of the logo. So take this as a "beta" or logo 1.0.

The file is 1200px by 1600px, so it's quite a big file. 7.33mb. Used Soopafresh for you, BGT.

I was thinking of making a logo, but I changed my mind.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

I tried making one but I gave up. It would take too much time to make it look good.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

Just some general notes: The slogan needs to be exactly: K'NEX, CoasterDynamix, and More with that punctuation. And I'd like to see some purple worked in.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

Knex-man, I really like that idea. It looks good.

Here you go, BGT, I changed the text;



Hope you don't mind, I made the text a tad bit thicker. Looks better that way, IMO.

Explain. It uses the same font, but that's about where the similarities end.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

I'm in love with Spitfire's design. Could you try to fill the bites out of some of the letters? Like the O and the A.

Re: Design the Next SSCoasters Logo

Yeah, I'm trying to find a solution without having to manually go in and fill them. For some reason, it bit off those chunks when I added the text. No idea why, however.


EDIT: Or, we can just call the logo a female and everything's good. (Look closely at the gap... )
