Best Show Logo ideas, sketchpile

[casualobserver]

post your unoptimized Best Show logo sketches (or criticisms) herein, so we can feed off each others' creative energy

(unless I dreamt it, Tom brought this up on the show in some fashion, though I can't remember the exact context; yell at me if I'm stepping on any toes)

(EDIT: removed dead images)

would love to see concepts by folks with illustration skills, since I didn't materialize with any

[snogrog]

Oh how I wish I had any artistic capabilities!

But I like these! Good job!

[fonpr]

I like that stuff.

Someone should do a steamroller, if they haven't already.

I always think of Dogmo as the show's mascot so I cobbled this together using a clipart phone and a picture of Dogmo I found here http://postmodernfrog.blogspot.com/2008/03/best-show-on-wfmu-t-shirts-part-i.html. The phone would need redrawing for copyright reasons and maybe the Dogmo picture too. I could do that in theory (when I get my graphic tablet back from my friend) but I'm not the best at that kind of thing so hopefully someone could help out if people like this logo idea.

Hey John,

Since you are on a logo-roll, Fredericks Mind Thing looks unprofessional.  This was brought to my attention in an email this morning.

Anything you could do to alleviate this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Sure Fredericks, I'll give it a shot. I'll PM you my email address shortly.

I have a few ideas that I'm slowly chewing over, but here's the first one I managed to complete.

i like the dogmo one the most but i would flip the "with tom scharpling to be right-side up

Although these are all awesome (the steamroller cracks me up), I got the sense from Tom's request that he was looking for something really basic and not necessarily comical.

CasualObserver's first example seemed to me the most official-looking, minimal, and easy to read.

Of course, I am presuming a lot about what Tom wants. 

[spruce]

Did he give more specific criteria as to what he wants in a logo? I may have missed that.

The steamroller is great. I love that!
