Club Logo

[Mart61]

Hi Guys

After a bit of help and/or advice. I've been putting together a web site for our heli club, the Southern Counties Model Helicopter Club (SCMHC for short). I've been trying to think of a logo but I'm terrible at such things.

Any of you guys that has design skills, or more of a grasp of some of the bits of design software, have any ideas what I could do for a logo?

I've tried to work SCMHC around a cartoony helicopter but I'm terrible at such things. Thus far this is the best I've come up with:

Might have a go later if thats ok Mart mate. No promises on quality and originality but i'll wiz some ideas around and see what happens.

[Mart61]

That'd be great Martin. No worries if you've not the time.

I flunked CSE art and need all the help I can get...

:D

As Bob marley once said 'dont worry about a thing'

yep pants:D:D but its only a start of an idea Martin:)

can i suggest getting rid of the two vertical lines on the heli. thicken up the blades so they look more like a brush stroke and the same with the skid.and maybe use two colours?:)

[Mart61]

Some great ideas there, Ron. Thanks - if only I had the IT skills (and software) to do it...

:D

The other thing I wanted is to have the heli flying left to right and not right to left. Whilst I can flip the image, the C don't make much of a canopy shape. (not that the S does either).

[MartinH]

I was going to ask you about that Mart, wheather you wanted it to be abit unique like that, but as we read from left to right I dont think its smooth on the eye, difficult to explain and no way bashing you design, I actualy pretty like it.

[Mart61]

No, you're spot on - there's an imbalance - the text going left to right, the heli going right to left. It just doesn't work.

:D

make the S the tail rotor. ennlarge the H for the skid bows and enlarge/make the C the canopy???

[stevieb337]

you could use a large flatened out s as the rotor mate i just tried it on a peice of paper and it dont look too bad
that way the c can be the canopy :)
and a streched out H for the boom
and underline a large M for the skids

But we read left to right so the first letters we come to are the SC so that's correct. It would not look right the other way round. IMHO.

Looks good to someone like me who's also as artistic as a lump hammer:)
