Graphic Designer : Are you one, do you know one? Club Logo needed.

[DaveL485]

Hi everyone. We're looking at employing someone to do us a new logo for the club, i've made some enquiries and its a bit of a minefield with offshore providers, ripoff merchants, et al. The most promising lead so far is:

To design a logo which you can use across a range of platforms including website, print, and for merchandise. We would design up to 4 initial logo designs for you, working into the final design. The price includes us giving you the final logo in vector, png, jpeg files etc..and providing you with the colours, and fonts we used for your future reference.
For logo design we charge £300.

Thats quite a lot of money, so:
1)Are you a designer that could do us something, and we will pay you of course, just a bit less than three hundred snaps
2)Do you know someone who would be interested in 1)

and

3)Please do offer an opinion, thoughts or ideas on what we should do about a logo design for the forum and merchandise. We do have the funds available, and if the consensus is "Just pay it" then I guess we will do exactly that.

Why not do a simple render based on the type font of the gt turbo on the rear of a five or other turbo renaults of the era. For example as a five says Renault 5 gt turbo have a big t same as the gt and then Renault in the font of the turbo part of the logo. Just an idea.

 

[Jimmy 5]

Sort of like this, im no graphic designer - but a quick rendor

 

[DaveL485]

Because we cater for all new and old cars, and not just the GTT. One of our key goals for TR was to have a place for the old skool and newer cars to share together and as such the logo needs to represent that. The current one doesn't as its based on a sticker found in the window of eighties stuff. We want something designing from scratch by a pro to be representative, and usable on merchandise too. We have some ideas but none of us can draw for toffee. I can't even do a decent stick man lol

If you divide £300 by say £20 = 15 hours and then divide that by 4, it's just
under 4 hours per design, which is nothing when "playing" with computer
graphics. What you'll get at the end will save you hours and hours of head-
scratching because you'll have a professionally designed logo that suits
whichever platform you're wanting to choose.

Fair comment, duly noted. Seems like a reasonable viable option then

You could have a turbo outline with a Renault diamond instead of a circle for the inlet or inside it. Visually turbo + Renault. Then have the web domain around the housing like the brand, if that makes sense?

 

[DaveL485]

Renault diamond

We are trying to get some good designs without the diamond, or an identifiable Renault diamond. We have problems getting it printed, the printers dont want to risk copyright problems! Yes, its a pain in the ass!

 

[Norwich Nick]

scrap that idea, just found this old badge but in a line drawing






Inside



Along those lines, again this turboRenault.co.uk around housing?

I personally like the JPS colours

Can't go wrong with black and gold

Thats awful. I cant stand the font mismatch. One font only please! (doesnt have to be Renault font either does it)

Yeah , looked shit on the f1 cars .





You image blind retard.

 

[DaveL485]

You image blind retard.

We are not an F1 car you mongified gloryhole.

Its also too old fashioned IMO. We have one of the best assembled forums i've ever used, its end-user experience is the dogs danglies and slapping a 30-year old logo robbed from an F1 car would be a travesty.

Good: (the club logo I mean, we could add a car on either side if need be)

Not so good (personal opinion, no offence intended)

Skillfully extracted and placed would be my terms, heathen.

I personally love the JPS stuff , like the Martini livery. Timeless classics .

I'm a big believer in keeping things simple

How about the universal turbo symbol, something like this:



extend the inlet and outlet and have (in the standard Renault typeface) 'turbo' in the left pipe and 'renault' in the right one?

Oh my word! A logo designed by Committee. If you give the brief to a
designer, what you'll get is a fresh and dispassionate result that'll be well
worth the money. Experience of committees elsewhere tells me that giving
this to people who know what to do with a brief will have so many hidden
benefits later on. Design has so many facets, it's quite an art.

Steve

We are on it at the minute Steve. Its going to be with the designer soon rather than me and Dave moan about each others ideas. Its a shame really , as his are rubbish and mine are great.

Naahhh, I'm too close to both brand and concept. I'm happy with laying out text,
but graphics are a totally different ball-game.
