most people use adobe illustrator for graphics or vector graphic programs because they can scale without any loss, there are probably some free alternatives out there,

also adobe lets you download a 30 day demo of their products

Ok so this idea was brought to me...
a logo without text think of...

the nike swoosh

the volcome stone

now i think these are great logos because they get in peoples head. We want something that kids will doodling in math class.
And extra point to someone that works in something that means something to us. Watch our vids for ideas
OtherPlanetSkate on youtube

And kraffft That is so Epic!
im glad you got in on this, nice job with taking it from a new angle

if you want a legitimate professionally designed logo, an open ended contest with no mention of payment probably isnt going to get you anywhere.

One more 'fail' actually.

We're not nessisarily looking for a "legitimate professionally designed logo"

We have the means to take a poorly executed concept, and turn it into a legitimate logo ourselves.

So we don't expect all the entries to be pretty and polished.

You're getting into ideograms VS logotypes and the like

The reason why things like the nike swoosh , volcome stone, or the mc donald arches work so well is because they have the budget to cover the earth in millions of the symbols, and most of the time they are accompanied by some sort of text, the repetition helps consumers attach meaning to the symbol and associate it with the brand. It also helps multinational brands because they are outside of language and don't need to be translated.


I think what you really need is a logotype ( unique typeface ) that can support a dynamic ideogram or icon, that way you can put whatever sort of funky artwork along side your logo and still have it be recognizable

either that or a dynamic logo, like the MTV logo, you can restyle that any way you want but its still MTV, and the logo itself is based upon the fact that it is dynamic. So that you would be encouraging retooling and sampling of your logo, but that requires an in house or comissioned graphic designer or artist to constantly be retooling your logo.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the input, i would love to see lots of different designs with and without text.

Lets try and keep this tread more centered around submissions rather than design discussions.

I wouldn't mind discussion to bump the thread promote ideas.

that dude is farting rainbows

You bet your ass he is haha.

Cheers for that Chainmail! I'll try and get some of my other idea up tonight.

[Chainmaillekid]

I missed this one some how :o

Hand drawn is fine.

Welcome to the fish!

i did the logo with no txt...

[shorncliffe longboarder]

im thinkin either a dude with a planet as a head on a board or just a planet on a board.
youve got recognition of the name - other planet. and no words
ill try to do it now, ive got photoshop cs2, are there any free download programs that would work better?

[sterlingc]

nope, photoshop or illustrator will do you fine

[Kiwibomber]

Heres some other ideas I had. Once again, am up for any ideas or changes that can be made . I love the vector looking open mouth one back a page.

I found a font thats I thought was super funky that reminded me of strelings:



heres an stencil-ish version of the board with said font:



and heres a random one(note - font used is fcuking hard to read I know but I can easily change it if need be):

[xtreme23]

Just to clarify that is NOT my design.Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Sean Leitch did that awesome work.

hahaha my bad. didnt see the text at the bottom

[mini_matt]

only just seen this so its a bit rough around the edges

If you want a standalone logo w/o text, here's the "shadow" logo by itself.
