New TM3 Logo Discussion

[Xenon]

This is a thread for discussing our new TM3 logo. Questions and comments can be posted in this thread.

When a design is submitted, a preview of it will be posted in this thread to assess the general opinion of our members.

See the official announcement here (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=3289).

[wtom]

So where\'s the discussions? I know some of you are saying the present logo/decals are a$$ so show us what you think is not a$$!

[bluntman]

Do we have to worry about copyright infringement?

[Xenon]

Yes, copywrited material should be used with caution. However, we are also looking for a logo that is original. Granted you may be tempted to use the stylized \"3\"...

I think the best is to design a logo that is composed of any and all material, copywrited or not. At this point i don\'t think we should worry. once the club decides on a logo, then we will look into technicalities like that.

So my advise is: Design a logo however you see fit. Try to avoid using copywrited material, but if you feel it is appropriate to do so, then do it. The club will vote on a logo when all the submissions have been recieved by the deadline. If the winning logo happens to contain copywrited material or images, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that we don\'t do anything illegal.

Something quick from work I thought off

Give me your likes and dislikes about it!

[bluntman]

Contest is over! :D


I like it.

[SourcE]

good jorb, i like :D

[TheProfessor]

That\'s really good with tons of potential, but until I saw a proper version I wouldn\'t call the contest over.

I\'m getting my boy to photoshop the design, because I can only draw!! HAHAHA Thanks! Give it a week.

[chinsterr]

now thats something i would put on my car :) gj man

***not that the original is bad or anything

[LADY5SPD]

That\'s Hot!

[Candyman]

It would look amazing on a baseball hat ;)

[mEtH]

back from the dead....

I am gonna be making ryans graphic as a vector when I get a chance and will repost it.

[S.F.W.]

I like Methodyst\'s logo...just seems more classic, a little less rice...

[bluntman]

http://ca.geocities.com/alegardo@rogers.com/tm3logo.jpg

How about this? With a \"small\" nod to Side Axela of Japan. ;)

[Broli]

thats kinda cool,
it seems that it would be difficult to see on a window
the 3 should totally be stylzed to the way it is on da car!

i like it though

[bluntman]

http://ca.geocities.com/alegardo@rogers.com/tm3logov2-web.jpg

I found a .gif file of the \"3\" but it ended up looking pretty bad once blown up. This one should be a bit easier to make into a vinyl decal, but the \"3\" still looks a bit like a \"B\" to my eye.

[Broli]

it is looking much better!

maybe u can find a better quality three so it doesn\'t degrade when
blown up!!

but its looking pretty slick!

[bluntman]

http://ca.geocities.com/alegardo@rogers.com/tm3logov4.jpg

[TheProfessor]

That\'s better with the stylized \"3\".

[-RJ3-]

What if you made the circles thicker (say less than half an inch thick, I wonder how it would look,
plus, can you make the size 5 iches wide 2 inches high?

I just want to see how it would look on the 3 :P

Nice Job!!!!!

[-RJ3-]

Another suggestion have you guys seen flipspeed\'s sig (the silhouette of the car) lately I think it would be a real good design as a decal for our club. Since we have 2 models, the hatch and the sedan, we should have 2 stickers that represent what we drive

I know you guys want to have the name of the club, can Flipspeed photoshop that and insert torontomazda3.com inside the graphic?

Flipspeed, show them what I mean :P

[bluntman]

http://ca.geocities.com/alegardo@rogers.com/tm3logov3-4x2.jpg

that looks good, man!

pretty sweet,



i think RJ3s idea is pretty good too,
but my friends and i have been working on something
like that for the EO MASIV

[bluntman]

http://ca.geocities.com/alegardo@rogers.com/SKETCH-bw.jpg

Damn! We\'re doing a logo for the website, I thought it was a sticker for our cars! D\'oh!

Nice work bluntman on thickening the circles, I like it.

Thanks for adding the text on flipspeeds sig pic. I really wonder how that would look as a decal.

Good job me like!!!:p

Again, with a little nod to Side Axela, the circles now look more like the gauge pods in our cars.

[SourcE]

To quote that guy in Robocop...

\"I\'d buy that for a dollar\"
Nice...

[-RJ3-]

THATS IT!!! THATS THE LOGO!!! Now how would it look on the car?:p

i liiiike, looks cool, only people that will figure that out are mazda 3 owners hahaha, the 3 circles on our dashboard

[majic]

i think there used to be a similar one on axelaowners.com but that site is gone.. i found this

http://mazda-fans.com/phpBB2/templates/Cobalt/images/logo_phpbb.jpg but i like ours better.. just a tad smaller.. since it incorporates TM3 really nicely.. now emboss it :D

[Xenon]

I like all the logos that I am seeing. Bluntman\'s seems to be a big hit.

I just want to clarify some things...

This logo will not only be used as the decal, but ALSO the website. If the club so chooses, by vote, we can have a different logo on the website than the decal.

One popular website logo is the sketch of the hatch... we can put that sketch in the background of bluntman\'s design for things like t-shirts and the website.

For others who are still thinking up a design, have no fear, submissions are accepted until december.

[SoopaBanana]

bluntman: WELL DONE. I like the logo, and if I may, here\'s what I think that might improve the masterpiece:

1. It\'s simple, so keep it that way: remove the T and the 3 from the side circles
2. Is it possible to change the font of the torontomazda3.com so it\'s more legible?
3. Because the three circles are not slanted, having the torontomazda3.com part slanted might kill the symmetry...

Btw, do you study industrial design or something?

I like that the logo reads TM3

[-RJ3-]

Just like your picture thread, increasing your post count again eh!!!! Other than that, Good job on the Logo.... You have listened to the people, and we all think this logo is a sure hit.

yeah, i like the idea of removing the t and the 3.

I cant wait till bluntman posts the new pics!!!!!:p

Patrick has been busy working, so he isnt able to do the vector for my design.

What if i had my design in the middle of the centered cluster.....hmmmmmmmmm?:p

[Candyman]

What about slanting the \"T\" the other way, since the circle narrows to the right?

[Broli]

yeah that would be cool,
hows it look with the other slanted 3?
or can the gauges be in the side ones, and TM3 in the middle?
not sure how it would look,

[TheProfessor]

The T and the 3 have to be there.....looks to plain and empty without it. Also, what about adding some colour somewhere?

[billyfo]

+1, keep the T & 3, it looks better.

:D

[-RJ3-]

Good Job, Naz.... This is going to be a tight competition.

All 5 ideas are great!!! My design is still pending. I wish I knew how to vector my design.

Comments on designs:

Bluntman: I like the idea you had in using the gauges, as well as listening to each request we give you to make your logo shine!!!

Naz.... Very simple but yet it has a TM3 feel to it dont you think?

Flipspeed: The silhouette of the 3 is sick!!! Sport hatch owners would be impressed, its just too bad that the sedans dont have one.

Methodyst: Bringing it back from the dead, and a good reason for it.... It will take two decals for the colours, but It would look sweet

Mine: Its simple but yet it feels more like a gang then a club. \"I have to make it look friendlier\" LOL!!

Seriously you ask me to design something, it becomes a tag/piece!!!

Great job everyone!!

[_naz]

^^ maybe you like to tag/graff like i do lol

[dredd2099]

mr rj would love to tag w/ u
he\'s a closet tagger

[OTUA YM]

I really like Bluntman\'s design.

But I think the earlier versions were better than the last few.
To be realistic, the inner circles must be round, while the outer circles are oval.
And the middle guage should be slightly higher than the outer ones.

This is my version of Bluntman\'s design.
Its a little more detailed and realistic.
3 colours... Black/White/Silver

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v730/Mazda3Pix/logo/TM3_Logo_v1.gif

[majic]

me likey.. :)

it needs to be simple and not too busy and i think this strikes a balance!

[Broli]

i like it too!

doesn\'t it need the website so we can advertise??

[mzda3grl]

If I may add my two cents, I think the last one Bluntman posted is wicked for car decals, and OTUA YM\'s spin on his design is amazing for the website. They are both crazy awesome but I think Bluntman\'s is more easily legible for a moving vehicle, people will be able to make it out quickly. I\'m in advertising at college and we were told that people have, on average, 3 seconds to read a billboard so follow the KISS method when advertising in areas of transit ;)

We should definitely use this logo on the website...... Bluntman\'s should be used as the decal and club related stuff.

[OTUA YM]

Having a life long interest in logos, I agree that a simple design is best.
.... thats why I said it was a more detailed/realistic logo.

Originally I just wanted to redraw Bluntman\'s logo to show the true angles.
But once I added the white rings it looked so much more 3D to my eyes.

The problem with Bluntman\'s design is that...
If the logo is stuck on a Black car or a Tinted Window,
The outer circles will blend in with the background.
Therefore, the entire logo will need a small WHITE border around it.
Since our gauges already have a SILVER ring around them,
I thought I\'d add a SILVER outer ring and use a small BLACK border around the entire logo.
This will solve any problems with Black or Silver cars.

Of course this means the logo now consists of 3 colours (more costly to produce).
But having the \"TM3\" in a shiny silver would look sharp.

As for advertising the website site name, that is a given.....
I just didn\'t add it, because I was just showing you all my version of Bluntman\'s design.

Anyways here\'s a simple version, so that you can compare....

Reversed to represent a white vinyl sticker on the a tinted window. ;)

[OTUA YM]

HaHa.... I knew somebody would say that. :D

I guess I\'m so use to seeing the deep black gauge cluster in the car,
That I assume they should be black on the logo.
.... But I could get use to the white logo too.

I still think the inner circles need to be round,
And the \"T\" should be tilted the other way.

I\'d use OTUA YM\'s for both.

[-RJ3-]

Now that I have seen the comparison between the 2, I agree with bluntman.

I would use botho of OUTAYM\'s designs....It was such a subtle difference between the two (Bluntman/OUTAYM)

Props to bluntman for the creative logo, and to OUTAYM for the altered logo...

[bluntman]

I\'d love to see OTUA YM\'s as a sticker! I like how it has the 3D effect.

[whodilly]

The 3d effect of OTUA YM is pretty neat... kinda trippy actually. I like the slight recess of the outer circles... makes it look like the gauges. Great collabo!
+1 OTUA YM

[Broli]

yeah

the recessed look is nice!
look sick!
cant wait to see what it looks like
unless of course someone comes up with something betta
but it will be hard now!

I like your first attempt man!!

[Broli]

i like these new ones by Source

i think they are better for on the car!

the one based on bluntmans design is nice

but i was talking with thomas and marco last meet
and we seem to all think, that putting it on the car would be
challenging

the silhoette (spelling is wrong i know)
with the words would be sick

Thomas was saying one for the hatchs and one for da sedans!

?

[SourcE]

I can make the car outline look better if there is any interest, I knocked these up last night whilst on a caffiene high.

:p

I\'ll do some of sedan and hatch with a full silhouette (spelt correctly :p :D ), and generally just f$%k around with the design a bit.

[Effin Itai]

The sillouette with the car, sedan or hatch included and tm3.com inside would look sick! I am not a graphic artistic and I think you can come up with better designs than I could. Good work!:)

[SourcE]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y252/SourcE2/logo.gif

?

[SourcE]

^^ any thoughts?

[Effin Itai]

Try using the just the front of the car and make a line going to the back. Use just TM3.COM in italics. Having it flow with the line.

Your making good progress! I\'m sorry if my instructions aren\'t to clear and vague. It\'s hard over the computer. We could meet up one night and come up with some sketches. I don\'t have a graphics program, just AutoCAD.

Hola Back yo!

Darkside

B.O.D.

[Broli]

it is not bad!

i don\'t like the wheels for some reason!

maybe cause they are only partly there?

what do you guys think?

[mEtH]

The 3D effect makes the 3 rings not look like eggs anymore.

As for the car outline thing, not feelin it. The first one looks nice but I mean then there has to be 2 decals and then that seperates the two and blah blah blah yada yada yada...then really does it work as a club?


.02

[rene]

I hope this time we can stick them from the inside.

[SourcE]

My 2 cents, the best design so far is....

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y252/SourcE2/TM3_Logo_v2.gif

The latest version looks too complicated, and everyone who drives a 3 will know what the above represents.

Nicely done

KenYork is going to bring my design back to life!!!..... Lets see what people think.

[SABIO]

I don\'t want to throw a wrench in here...

But lets say for example... Bubba... He\'s in Kitchener.. Not Toronto... I bet 70% of us are not even near Toronto.

I think we should Change the club name.. something like The Greater Southern Ontario Mazda 3 Club.
GSOM...

or... Guys with Mazda 3\'s Club Toronto really has nothing to do with the people in the Club.

So I think we should start this whole thing over. First lets vote for a new club name. Maybe get rid of the current club leadership too. Force them into exile and give us the freedom we so rightly deserve.................

[SourcE]

What about our brand recognition? :p

I agree with Sabio that the club name is kinda misleading, and most likely only represents a small portion of the members here.

Greater Toronto Mazda 3 (GTM3)?

Big changes people, are we ready for this? :hoho :D

As for the leadership, I have no opinion on that, what\'s wrong with the current?

I\'d use OTUA YM\'s for both.

That is a great recommendation, but having a multi-coloured decal would be increasingly expensive. THe less cuts the decal is made of, and the less colours it consists of, the less it would cost.

Whereas, for OTUA YM\'s design, silkscreening them wouldn\'t be as bad as making multi-colors, multi-cut decals.

What\'s going on with this, I want to buy TM3 stickers, but knowing my luck, a week later we\'ll come out with some new ones based on whatever design we pick here.....

:sarc

[SourcE]

bump, as the first one didn\'t work

[mit-gee-mui]

someone start a poll to see which decals are most desired,

i\'m too lazy :p :zzz

[Broli]

i like the design with the car
and i think changing the name is probably a bad idea
the club is basically toronto based

[mEtH]

The one with the car wont turn out like that because it has gradients. Decals wont do that degradation unless we wanna pay out for it. It just wont fly...

[TheProfessor]

I don\'t personally like the idea of changing the name.......the name Toronto does not imply the old city of Toronto......it implies the GTA (for me anyways). There would be no point changing it to something like Southern Ontario Mazda3 unless we were going to start having meets in areas outside the GTA (like KW for instance), which I doubt we are.

True.

So shall I set up a vote, or are we all happy with Blunts design?

[Xenon]

Bah... Sorry I haven\'t been posting in a while.... School... exams... now I\'m out of town for the holidays...

Anyways originally we were supposed to have a voting, but I see people are talking about changing the name. I will create a new thread for this. We will let the name change thing go for the month of January, see if there is enough interest. Then we\'ll put it to a vote.

After which we will vote on a decal. If the winning decal is too Toronto oriented, ot the word Toronto is too intergrated into it, then we will ask the artist to submit a new design and re-vote, or alter the original one to reflect the name change.

I would just like all to note that changing the name changes our website, we will have to finance a new banner, new toques etc. It will not be a quick change.

Please see the thread \"Potential Club Name Change\" for discussion.

[wtom]

Forget the stickers, forget the logos, forget the name change, focus on finding two people who can have access to and maintain the behind-the-scenes of this club\'s system (Open Bulletin Board) because I can honestly say this system just sucks!

I agree, with you Warren, Lets squat the idea of decal changes and re-design the structure of this website. After the cleanup, then we should consider the winner\'s design.

[mEtH]

It\'s not even the structure of the website. The club will only survive as a website otherwise. It is the whole club!

Theres needs to be 6-8 who are gonna run shit.
- Treasurer
- Sponsorships
- Events Co-ordination
- etc.

Xenon was doing all this, well now hes not and look whats goin on...

TOP is a great example.

+1 for patrick

+1 for Pedro

Redoing the website isn\'t a bad idea. This could go hand in hand with the logo redesign as well as spark interest in the Club to those that are just lurking.

I\'m all for it.

I will gladly offer my marketing experience if needed. :D

I agree with the restructuring the website. Then change the logo. I know it\'s easy to say, hard to do. Let\'s keep the logo simple. Lets say: TM3.COM. Maybe in italics. I have an idea, unfortunately don\'t have the computer grahics background to design it. I can draw. Atleast, my Eleme. school teachers said.!LOL

Lates,

Concept 7 gets my vote, it would make a nice sticker, banner, web graphic, t-shirt and hat logo

[dredd2099]

the banners = teh win!

My thoughts about your new logo design, since I think you guys are going a great job making new concepts.

BUT

you may want to try and steer clear of using the \"MAZDA\" registered logotype, for any \"likeness\" in your NEW logo, as there may some ramifications for not getting the proper consent from Mazda themselves. It may become an issue or it may not, It really depends on how big the club gets and how much exposure you ultimately receive. This is more of a heads up, since i doubt that anyone would want to have to redesign the logo AGAIN, if something was to happen.
