Site Logo Ideas

As my crack team of graphic designers are hard at work - I thought I would toss a preview at you to see what you think --

Now this is just one idea - but I was hoping for comments...

i dont like the color choice......

**Joeychgo** · 01-31-2007, 11:59 PM

This would be only one color scheme - there will be several color schemes -

I like it, but I'm not too thrilled/excited about it. I was hoping for something a little more... extraordinary. Am I asking too much? hahaha

**Peggy** · 02-01-2007, 12:01 AM

Blackie · 02-01-2007, 12:01 AM

Have you looked up top recently?

supraphiliac · 02-01-2007, 12:04 AM

Sorry, no offense. IMO, the "Chicago" skyline in the background with Chicago Velocity infront is just............ for lack of a better word... generic... expected. I don't know. I'm not the professional. Obviously. But I was asked my opinion, and we all know that I like to give it. lol I'll shut-up now.

Haha, but that's what CV was built on... I can't hate.

It's just very plain. (I was never a fan of that thing in the corner... in fact, I whined that it was uneven when it was put up.)

I think something black & white...or black and grey, whatever.. if it's a Chicago skyline, something more graphic and magnificent. And something to do with CARS, too. But not a specific make/model of car.

I don't know, this is just a random thought that popped in my head...can you do a sideview mirror showing a lit Chicago skyline and figure "Chicago Velocity" somewhere in there? (Maybe where the "Objects Are Closer Than They Appear"?)

**Peggy** · 02-01-2007, 12:07 AM

no.. what you have up there now, is generic

That was not always the logo.

Blackie · 02-01-2007, 12:07 AM

Not a bad idea --

I want a nice payout if you use it.

Ride up and down LSD and take a few shots of the mirror with some road still visible to the top and side. Probably need to be around Soldier field, headed south, or up near Fullerton headed north.

Ummmmmmmmm. Oh shit. Hah, that was a while ago. I think it was just "Chicago Velocity" in some font. Ryan would remember better than I.

I didn't make it. I didn't say I like it either. Just gave my opinion.

fretburnr · 02-01-2007, 12:15 AM

how about a stylized tire tread mark that spells out chicago velocity?

don't know if it'd work well but just an idea. that way its not make/model specific but still car-oriented.
