We've decided it's time for a new logo for the forum. The current one has been in place for a long time now and we're going to leave it up to the forum to design a new one, then we'll have a vote for the winner. I think we'll run the contest through the end of July just to allow time to get the creative juices flowing. On August 1st we'll take all the entries and compile them in a new thread with a poll to choose the winner. Here's the rules-
H-W Logo Contest
Submit entries in two sizes 216 x 80 pixels and 800 x 296 pixels. Members will choose the logo via poll just as the monthly photo contest is done. H-W reserves the right to use, remove, or replace the winning logo at any time. H-W will assume ownership and reserve all rights to the winning logo submission, including the right to modify the logos as needed or desired.
Post up your entries here. I'll take them all and move them to the new thread August 1.
Thanks. This should be fun.

I don't do graphic design computer art its not my cup of tea, I can but prefer not to....
so if I can do a more fine art attempt I may be in.....and if not for logo use maybe donate to one of the auctions or fundraisers....
Post by: Becky on June 21, 2013, 12:16:16 PM
I like it if you get rid of the WT skull and put a MD skull on it instead.
I could customize it easily but I'm not sure since it's a competition if it would be fair now... I think it'd be a good idea if the winner could do slight changes after all is said and done tho! :)

-There is an arrow and a rifle scope. I wasn't trying to clog up the logo since how tiny it has to be it'd lose value of the image.. but yea there's a lot of ways a hunting logo can go :) a lot of options for someone to use. Lot of animals, lot of weapons, lot of ideas. I just threw my idea out there once I felt like I had a finished product somewhat and I can't wait to see what others come up with!

Okay been working on this thingy, it's been a LONG time since I've designed a logo. I just figured I'd get the ball rolling and submit an entry. I know we have some awesome artists on here so I can't wait to see someone blow me outta the water with this.Cool Can you do one with a black bear and Smokepole?
I wanna explain it a little, the logo is fully vectored (re-sizeable). I was always taught to never use a photograph in a logo because you want it absolutely versatile and re-sizeable :dunno: so I went classic with a design that can be used on shirts/hats/forums/facebook haha. The white background is actually clear so it's an overlay on top of any colored background. It's 100% custom drawn/created, so it can be used for anything with no copyright issues. I added a car decal design as well (dark gray being the window).

Ohh ok lol.
-To answer, yea I could... No offense to everyone who wants every fox, coyote, rabbit, bird, mule deer, elk, blacktail, whitetail, bear, cougar, squirrel, bow, shotgun, rifle, muzzleloader included in a 216x80 logo :chuckle:.... Simplicity and branding is key for a logo. I can't include everything and I don't necessarily want to or you couldn't see anything.
Aside from suggestions, I don't mind criticism, if you hate it then tell me. I just can't change what I've submitted for a competition that other members might be developing something awesome to submit - which I'm hoping to see. Branding takes time, I don't want to deter anyone by getting an unfair advantage, and changing mine until everyone agrees they like it - does that make sense? Once all is said and done though, IF MINE WINS, I can create variations but I will keep the overall logo look the same.
Hope that makes sense to ya guys! :)
If you have a arrow in there your leaving out the muzzy hunters, rifle hunters and the bird hunters. May want to come up with something that speaks to the majority not just the bow guys.
I've addressed this a few times now, an arrow is the projectile from the bow (I did not include the weapon) and on the far right side there is a rifle scope. Sorry if I did not include every weapon choice available I wasn't sure how to do it without convoluting the overall design.
Post by: Smossy on July 01, 2013, 10:44:48 AM
Exactly. And everyone wants more?? :rolleyes:I thought the crosshairs represented modern firearms well? :dunno:
I didn't really notice it. It doesn't stand out like the arrow does. It kind of get's lost in the background.

Maybe if the arrow is toned down in some way? Maybe like how the crosshairs are obscured/behind the text?

Lol I used to want to be one, went to college for it, then I ended up liking art for ME better. Never went too far with it professionally... I have done some logos, some graphic designing with websites, decals, etc. but after a while the business demand side of it is not worth the pretty things I want to make for myself. I now just dabble with interesting things here and there.. like website competitions :chuckle: and designing vinyl decals for people etc.

I have NO artistic ability or I would try. I LOVE the one you made Smossy's girl! It freaking rocks. However, could you make it smaller and just put the whole thing on an arrow, with a bow, holding a bow, next to a pope and young sign, with an arrow behind a crossbow, above a traditional bow, to the left of an atlatl, bordered with arrow nocks, and like inside a broadhead blade? That could be really cool! :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm torn I like the elk and the muledeer but also the whitetail :o :o :o darn this is hard......The only reason I like the whitetail is it blends better in the middle of the logo, not because I like whitetail. The elk would be my second "blends in the logo" choice. I like the mule deer okay, but it dominates the middle a bit.
