I guess beggar's can't be choosy.

Oh, by the way. Like the green. As everyone know, the green nomads are the fastest.

Trip,
I know you said that this would pretty much be the final design and if that is the case I'm fine with that. That being said and after reading a few of the comments from others, I'm wondering if the following would not be worth thinking about. The center of the logo has a bottom and a top to it, and you mentioned you did not include the mascot name because of too much lettering. Instead of repeating the region name and ending up with half of it up side down, could you not have the whole region mascot name just once starting at say 7 0r 8 o'clock with a small flag of the appropriate country at 6 o'clock ( right side up ) to help space things out.

Hey Trip,

I think the logos should be square, the font bigger and smaller, the mascot should replace the region name, and the whole logo should be one color ....other than that it is fine ;)

This is why you get the big title and the big bucks!

And maybe, just maybe, could you have it play the country's national anthem when the center is pushed and have the whole patch be a scratch-n-sniff for the national flower? (Rose:USA , golden wattle: Australia, and maybe a maple leaf for Canada since they don't have a national flower) Vulcanize the backs and we can use them for tire patches in emergencies.

I don't like the green either.
As I said ealier, I appreciate all the work and time you put into this forum and I love it here. Just wanted my opinion noted

The region name is upside down so anybody can still read it when your upside down ;)

[Top Cat]

I don't plan on being upsife down Lar

Did you notice Trip answered everybodys question or comment except mine. Maybe it's my personality or the way I come across with my opinions. :-/

They look great to me. Being a graphic designer in the past i know one thing is for sure. You will never make everyone happy in a group when trying to make a logo that everyone likes. I know how hard it is to try but it will never happen. If you like it thats the point since your the President and all its your call. again i think they look great

Thanks for all your comments guys..... LOL...I'll try and make this batch of logos solve world hunger as well as play the national anthem.

So, how do I say this without pissing anyone off? Taking President's perogative, I feel the logos need to stay the way they are. I tried placing the region name only at the top and having a flag somewhere at the bottom. After working on that format for a while, I didn't like the way it came out.

I have always placed the name once at the top and bottom. That way, if the logo is a patch or sticker or whatever and is looked at at an angle or upside down, the name is still there. I'm not trying to be a hard ass or closed-minded.....but in my mind, no other changes need to be made. As with anything that goes to committee, I can work on these for months and not everyone happy. Again, thanks for your comments.

I'll be placing the new logos in the respective Regional forums very soon. Oh and TopCat.. I didn't see your comment till later on.

Thanks,
Trip

Think it was a good ideal that should not have been tampered with at all. Maybe we should have left the logo the way it was?
::) ::) ??? :-/ P.S. Hope I don't get voted off.

Green for the US is sort of Kawasaki Green - not quite Nightmare's color, but close enough :) I think these are a definite improvement. Curving the script font does make it fairly dificult to read. It took me quite a while to figure out the top one said Australian.

Trip, I don't think you need to worry about pissing people off. If you tried it and it didn't look right, enough said to me.
