Title: Best Show logo/slogan
Post by: dotmap on February 19, 2011, 12:16:21 AM

I drew and designed a logo for the Best Show, as well as a slogan to go along with it. Let me know what you think. (I'm hoping to get some input from Tom as well!)(http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa467/dotmap1/scharplinglogo.jpg)

Nice effort, but a logo really needs to be simpler, with more immediate graphic impact, and scaleable, so it's legible even at small sizes.

Also, those sunglasses aren't laughable enough to be something Tom would wear.

Also, I don't think it will play well in McCarren Park.

I"m sorry, I'm sorry, ok?  I was riding my tall bike through McCarran Park, as I always do, and I saw this guy with sunglasses and I just, well, you know.

Is that pic Tom or Kenny from Kenny vs. Spenny?!

Actually I drew another simpler logo:

But with the logo I originally posted about I wanted to incorporate Tom a bit more.

And thank you Auntie Christina for picking up on where I got the idea from.

Heres a basketball related logo/slogan. I think fitting for multiple reasons:(http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa467/dotmap1/IMG.jpg)

I'm going to be posting Best Show logos and slogans periodically on twitter. My goal is to impress Tom with at least one. twitter.com/dotmapFOT

So, after this week's show, this logo seemed like a no-brainer. If it's not obvious, the 5th bar symbolizes Tom's bravado.

You'd almost think it was 1982 again--except for all those damn cameras.
