New Logo

[Gismo]

Since i posted about GoBadges offering badges for our cars it was noted that some folks wanted a new logo, so, for any budding graphic artists out there this is your chance to make a dazzling new logo for NMS.
Can't pay you but i will give you all the credit :thumbs up:

Post up your creations here and then we'll set a poll for the entire NMS community to judge their favourite.

Happy creating

[Craig]

Will it be like last time where the poll had a clear winner and you chose something else ?? :Whistle: :lol:

[GCA3N]

Just don't close this until the new year lads. ideas ideas.:yes nod:

Just to check, is it the round logo we are changing or the newminiscotland banner logo, or both?

Best to point out that the creations must be available for me to add to the web site and forums

wish I could see the previous lot but couldn't see any pics over there..I didn't go through lots of pages though as this is currently REEEEAALLYY SLOOOOOOOOOOW. keeps timing out on me :(

[EcosseGP]

Right then thought I would have a go at this I know what I want to do just struggling to get it exactly how I want it .. http://img.tapatalk.com/56ba883c-25bc-f51a.jpg

It's not big .. But it is quick !!

[EcosseGP]

Obviously colours could be changed etc open to criticism (good or bad) .. Just fancied a shot !!


It's not big .. But it is quick !!

[EcosseGP]

Or just another take on it .. Not using the full New Mini Scotland (NMS instead)

At this rate there's no point in me doing one, awesome ones so far Davy:thumbs up:. I guess you'll need to pick your fav now ;)

[Craig]

Nice stuff Davy ;)

[Craig]

Can I say tho I liked a good few of Baz's from the last thread :Whistle: ;)

[EcosseGP]

No not at all just having a play .. There's no way I'm half as good as you

3226

3227

Be great if you could do one with a MINI with a saltire in the sky then Newminiscotland.co.uk underneath .. I've just not go the technical ability.

[GCA3N]

Got loads of ideas so wish I had my laptop :computer:

[EcosseGP]

Craig problem with that thread link is that a number of the previous logo's have been removed so I've no idea what was submitted or tried before .. I'm sure Grieg will come up with something no hassle

[GCA3N]

I'm sure Grieg will come up with something no hassle

No pressure then.....:blink:

[Bazthemod]

Some of them still work on page 11 of that thread.

You have to be very careful when designing a logo regarding colours etc for working with print, vinyl and embroidery.

I would also be very careful with moving away from the sites brand colours. They have been with the site from the very beginning.

In my opinion the original text logo with some minor refreshing is the best option. It also keeps things inline with the feather flags as I didn't incorporate the roundel logo in them when I designed them.

[RobSco]

You certainly have been stuck indoors this afternoon Davy... :yes nod: ...Some pretty good ideas there and this is only day one... :thumbs up:

[EcosseGP]

Yeah was bored so thought i'd have a go .. Its kept me entertained all afternoon !!

I'm easily pleased ..:bigwave::bigwave:

[RobSco]

Off Shore Greig and no laptop... :computer: You'll just have to do it the old fashioned way - Pen and Paper till you get home... :lol:

[MINIme:)]

Is it only me that's having immense trouble loading pages today??

I managed to get further through the old posts and find some of Baz's. Really like them! :thumbs up: Especially the use of a proper non-wonky car. I am not a fan of the wonky wheeled car I think it looks broken and :sad: like it's been in an accident. But just my own wee opinion of course.
Didn't find one with two thistles that everyone said they liked a lot, Baz. Can it be posted up if it hasn't been retired as an idea :computer: I like the idea of thistle(s)

You lot are really clever, Davy yours are really good too :yes nod:, you've obviously had a fun afternoon! And that Greig...I can't wait to see what you can do with your wizzy graphics skills :drools:.



edit: Baz - "In my opinion the original text logo with some minor refreshing is the best option. It also keeps things inline with the feather flags as I didn't incorporate the roundel logo in them when I designed them." this is an excellent point!

Agreed on alot of points there baz but the one regarding a minor re-fresh I am in two minds. In part I agree but maybe a new fresh idea/design is more worth while. I am undecided. I defo think that there should be one design by each person wanting to put one forward and then we as a group can decide the most appropriate.

[EcosseGP]

There's two ways to look at it ..
1. We design a logo for the go badge which i think was the initial reason for the competition
2. We design a new NMS logo and incorporate that into the badge.

There's no harm in having a different style for the go badge IMO as they're interchangeable anyway but personally if you're going down the number 2 route and want a Scotland theme in the NMS logo personally it'll mean a complete re-vamp.
I was just playing about this afternoon that's all if I was going to design a full new website logo I'd have gone down a completely different route probably ..
The "wonky" car was the only thing I had to put a MINI in the logo that wasn't a GP, it wasn't my personal choice either but just used it to show where a MINI could be put ..

I think you'll all have too many ideas to just do one :smilewinkgrin:

Or could pile in some and do a Round 1 to slim down to one each? I wish I had the software and skills to do this myself!

[Stewart]

I really like the last one on #Post 11.This is just the logo so the holder would create a nice border round it.

[Scottie]

Will this mean we will get free merchandise with the new logo to replace tax disc and stickers + key rings we have previously bought.

Change for change sake

I would keep to original design make a tweak or two if your bored.

Exactly the reason a slight refresh makes more sense rather than a new direction. You risk peeving people off and dating lots of merchandise already designed and produced otherwise.

Think about the Google logo... it has changed 5/6 times since launch but you wouldn't really know it!

What will be, will be in the end anyway LOL

[MINIme:)]

what happened to this? I was quite :excited: and then it all went :tumbleweed:

[EcosseGP]

I just had a wee go at the "go badge" then left it for someone with more skills than I had to do a logo .. Think others wanted a "refresh" of the current logo rather than a new one so it was out of my league ..


At 8000rpm no one hears you scream

[GCA3N]

I had some ideas but got the feeling a new logo was not wanted by most so have not posted my ideas.

[MINIme:)]

Oh. It seemed to me that lots of people were all for it, only one was against, and one pointed out that changing the round logo but keeping the colours would be efficient. I'm disappointed :sad:

:sadangel:

[Craig]

I'm resurrecting this thread for 2 reasons.

1 - I need more clothing (due to wear and tear as its over 4 years old) so we look better at shows which at least 3/4 of us have made a commitment for next year. And

2 - I don't like the current logo and I've never really liked it. I liked Baz's original one but it's not showing on the thread from 2008.

Discuss !

[stoney]

I think it would be a good idea

we could even put a bar code thing in with the stickers one of the quick read ones you scan with your phone ect


yep would be good to ave some clothing to where at shows and runs ;)

[MINI William]

I'm all for a new logo. Stoney and myself have discussed that a QR CODE logo may be a good idea to link you straight to the site. I think a logo that can be used as a sticker is the way forward, instead of something like the logo we have and a www. sticker as well.

[Craig]

Not sure about the sticker change as we still have hundreds of inside stickers (not as many outside ones) which Alan has paid for ....

[GreigJCW]

Agreed Craig there needs to be discussions and then some ideas possibly followed by a vote

I came up with this but it was just a quick idea to send to Alan.

Like your idea William too.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/17/ereje6yr.jpg

[EcosseGP]

^^ you've obviously seen Craig's driving to come up with that logo Grieg .. Looks good though and I agree if you can use it for stickers etc it makes more sense.

Not much point looking to have a logo/sticker that would incorprate a QR Code with one club branding for clothes, tax disc holders and keyrings etc then. As the main idea of this would be to have a logo and sticker that has this QR to allow anyone who sees the sticker on the cars, leaflets etc etc to have as QR suggests a quick response to the site. Hopefully using something like this would see the site gain more active members.

Possibly something to look at as aren't these inside outside stickers rather dated now and are a pain to even peel from the paper and a tad bland, compared to other car clubs stickers IMHO.

[Mon the fish]

Minitorque have the whole merchandising thing down to a fine art IMO, might be worth taking a look

I'm not disagreeing with you William, but it's not my money or your money being wasted... I didn't want the current design but the decision was Alan's to make as its his site. We have to respect his decision


www.lodgeonthecaley.com

[Gismo]

More than happy for folks to suggest a new logo.
I replied to Greig saying that it was difficult to utilise his creation due to the colour, if we want to keep the black theme going then it has to be darker.
I can change the colour scheme to suit any type of logo that is preferred

With regards to the stickers, not worried if we have to ditch them.

So, it's creation time again :thumbs up:

[Craig]

Thanks very much for that Alan. Appreciate it :)

Once we have a design I know of a local co to me that could do the clothing for us unless you have a preferred supplier? I'm happy to look after it.

Just my 2p's worth but I'm more than aware who's money goes into the site and I appreciate it along with I'm sure the vast majority of NMS. I was more than happy to contribute to the site when site subscriptions were being spoken about.

I just feel that I've we are going down the road of a new logo then why not try and get something that can be used for a multitude of uses, instead of what is frankly a tad dull sticker that doesn't attract much attention. Another idea would be for people to have the choice of a logo sticker or the www. Sticker this then saves wasting these already produced stickers.

This is all a bit heaven handed for a new logo that looks like Alan is happy to have as a sticker

You've obviously taken something I've said wrong William.

I agree with everything your saying !!

Step back and take a breath man

So, who's good with designing cos I ain't. ? Be good to get some designs soon so that we can get this rolling before the end of the year. Agree that having 2 sticker designs gives people a choice. I think tho once the current ones are finished we would not replace them.. :)

[EcosseGP]

Some fantastic ideas Grieg I like the first ... What about incorporating new mini Scotland around the outside of the saltire or lines of the mini logo to try and keep the MINI badge as neat as possible ... Just a thought but excellent work ! ;)

[EcosseGP]

Sort of like that but outside the saltire circle ... between that and the MINI wings

Or

What about the shape of a thistle with the saltire as the middle then in one leaf New, next MINI, Scotland and so on ...

[Mon the fish]

Make the S of Scotland like the red S in Cooper S

[Gismo]

I like this :)I like it too, but, i'd like to see the text straight and not curved around the edge

[EcosseGP]

I like the middle of the three thistle ones Greig ... Excellent ideas and graphics, how about making the word New be the head of the thistle rather than having it through the top ..


At 8000rpm no-one hears you scream !

[d.oxley72]

The top version looks best, however I think the word NEW has to be in a contrasting colour to ensure it stands out.

Overall, the designs are very good, however careful consideration has to be made about the base colour, as once you start reducing the logo for merchandise, the individual text colours that appear clear on the computer screen may not be as distinctive on fabrics for example.
Any logo works best when it's quickly and easily identifiable as to what its supposed to represent, especially to people unfamiliar with the group, product etc.

[Mon the fish]

We need a logo that works without text - some kind of thistle/mini badge hybrid maybe?

I would have a bash, but my graphics skills extend no further than MS Paint.

[GreigJCW]

Offshore today folks I will try more simple ideas when I get back, that is if no one else runs with these or any other ideas they have.

Something like this possible. Not great I know

[weefossy]

"Any logo works best when it's quickly and easily identifiable as to what its supposed to represent, especially to people unfamiliar with the group, product etc"

Agree with the above. We should also bear in mind that it costs more to produce, when embroidered, the more colours you use. to me, simplicity works.

With regards to the new logo, I would like to say that there is some good ideas being put forward but would agree with the above post as you have to watch what you put on your logo for either printing and having clothing embroidered, keep it simple as less is more...

As for the NEW MINI SCOTLAND that Alan uses at the moment on the top of the web page, it says it all... :thumbs up:

William, your design I quite like, says what it means and is easily identifiable... :thumbs up: ...I would try it with Scotland spaced out the full length of the Mini, as my son who is doing his final year in graphic design said it might look better and he also states, Less is more in a logo... A logo needs to says with one look what it stands for... :yes nod:

Like this as well but as said make the Scotland stretch out full with of the mini ;) and a wee QR code could be added at the end of the .co.uk bit for a sticker :D

[weefossy]

Do we need two types of logo?
What Greig has produced are excellent graphics and we probably need that type of logo for on screen / photographic use. But as a lot of the merchandise will be embroidered, we probably need a simplified version of whatever we choose. I ain't any good at producing graphics, but here is an attempt on a simplified version, if someone else could produce a graphic version on similar lines. By the way, do we have any potential issue with "copyright" if we plagiarise the BMW logo?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/weefossy/NMSsign3.jpgI kinda like this, but, not with the NMS in the middle, i'm sure someone could edit it maybe to have the full name below the logo??
Also, happy enough to go to one colour for the text, makes sense from an embroidery point of view :thumbs up:

Like it as well, but think the "Co.Uk." needs to be smaller than the "New Mini Scotland " part. Could the "QR code thing" be included in a "rear wheel" and the Co.uk. be fitted in the middle? Just a thought.

[Stewart]

See now to me that is too busy! I liked the Big .Co.UK as it shouted out “ this is a web site” as once you see the .co.uk your inclined to think right it’s a web site but what is it…….and in the last one the MINi badge goes :sad:and I'm a sucker for the MINI badge:smilewinkgrin: Just spitballing all the same.

And I still want the S like the Cooper S badge :p

I think that the scan square would be better placed elsewhere????

Edit: Not so sure we need the saltire mirror caps???

[Craig]

Agree with Alan. I think without the saltire mirror cap the design is very clear and concise

Perhaps put the scan square where the fuel cap would be and lower the text?

I like it and the scan square could be dropped for polo shirts etc. However is it only representative of one model?..........debate.

I think it would be better if someone that knew their way around Photoshop copied the idea and try and get an original of quality for the Car shape.

It's got to be an R50, hasn't it? The original 'New Mini'. We all had one at some point, didn't we? This site was founded upon the R50, and I don't think R53/R56/F56/Z56 will ever be looked upon as fondly as the R50.

The site started with the R50, the first run was for the R50. It's got to be that, no?

[N16SHP]

That's it without the mirror caps and QR code.

I don't want to be credited for this logo. I simply combined Stewart and William's designs and used my amateur photoshop skills to put it together.

Hopefully someone with better skills than I have can sort it out from here.

I agree it should probably be an R50 but I'd like an R56 on my R56...perhaps it should be put to a vote?

Is that not like the guy who painted the last bit on the titanic saying – "Your welcome but I have to say the ship is not my all my own work"
:smilewinkgrin:

As I said it needed someone to play with the text, you adding that wee touch “S” red went down well! After all I think the consensus was that the NEWMINISCOTLAND.CO.UK had to be in place. As you can see on page 9 came back with the same results all be with the QR. :thumbs up:

[weefossy]

A quick attempt at all white. Don't think we need to change or vary the model. It looks like a Mini to me. All white + red S will save on printing costs.

[Stewart]

Think we have got one contender for any vote anyway. I was thinking the Purple behind tint's could get lost.

Instantly recognisable as a MINI and clean looking….

[RobSco]

I like what I see so far but would like to know what size do you intend to make these stickers, as the QR code would have to be a decent size for any mobile phone to scan, I personally would drop it and keep it simple, shape of Mini and web address along the bottom says it all... :thumbs up:

Stewart I take it this logo came from Photobucket, I've clicked and dragged the photo and got the info for it but the dimensions aren't big enough for me to give it a try and if I try to enlarge it all goes pixelated and can't find a larger jpeg to work with and you would have to watch regarding copyrights for who owns it, and as you say would be good if we copied the idea to get an original for quality to get the car shape, might give it a try later... Great work by all so far to come up with what we have on offer... :thumbs up:

[Craig]

I know what your saying Gordon and I'm kinda with you although that last design looks very good....

That will also be cheaper to embroider as it's only 2 colour and that's what costs (ie no of colours) :)

Can someone do a Gen1 logo the same as this Gen 2 one and see if there is a big difference ?

Just thinking white outline would be lost on a white T shirt . Then again, I don't like white Tshirts as they always look grubby after a couple of washes, so doesnt really worry me.

[Scottie]

Seems to me we are talking branding here. No need for the .co.uk to be included I don't know of any company that includes that in their brand logo nowadays. QR on stickers and litature sure but not on clothing that's just stupid. Newminiscotland surrounded by a mini is enough no need to make the s into the cooper s shape that just limits the demographic of the logo.

Well done gents looking good - personally don't think need co.uk but would defiantly keep the red S. I still like the existing car stickers with just the web address which I would probably have in addition to this as see this more as a logo.

[stoney]

I like those guys good effort I think it needs the .co.uk IMO

Like it with the red S think the out line is good as it is

[Crombers]

It's got to be an R50, hasn't it? The original 'New Mini'. We all had one at some point, didn't we? This site was founded upon the R50, and I don't think R53/R56/F56/Z56 will ever be looked upon as fondly as the R50.

The site started with the R50, the first run was for the R50. It's got to be that, no?

This (unsurprisingly) :thumbs up:

I'd go for the 'S' in purple as the red makes it stand out as a club exclusively for the 'S' ......... 2p!!

[Scottie]

How about the out line that is the mini. make it a mash up of all the mini styles a bit of that hatch some of the coupe throw a bit of the clubman finish with a bit of the countryman and paceman see what it all looks might be the next mini model.

As I work for a graphic design/print company, I have sweet talked one of our designers in the studio to give me the outline as a vector so that we can scale it to any size required. I won't however ask him to do anything until we've finalised what's happening. Hope that's of some help.

I think it needs the .co.uk, after all that is our product, we are an online community who meets up to go for runs etc?

If we are wanting to keep the purple, why don't we have the outline of the Mini in purple? It will also add contrast and highlight the actual name of who we are with the white text.

Prefer the white.
Do like Stewart's new "Hummer" Mini.
What about it BMW? It's a market your not in and as with most of your other variants, size shouldn't bother you.....lol

[Stewart]

Under Tints the Car will be lost too much in my view or at the very least you’ll only notice it up close. My inside NMS sticker is hardly noticeable until your close up and in a way I like that it’s not in your face. On the other had Paul’s Northern Mini stands out as its bright silver both inside my rear Tinted window.

But for me the Purple is just over doing it, bringing another complication into the mix for just a sticker. On clothing it would probably work fine.

[Neil - TXJ]

How about clear/white background, purple outline and black and red lettering? Think it's difficult to get couloirs that will work well as a car sticker but also for clothing. Maybe an overall emblem that we can change colours to suite different situations if possible?

Re the font of the words could these match what mini use on the back of the cars and could we use the style of D they use. Ties it in with more than just the S then.

Just thoughts and feel free to ignore.

[Mon the fish]

Good idea on using the same font as the Cooper badge on the back

[MINI William]

I like the white better. Not to keen on the purple, and for a sticker on a window I cant see it sticking out much. Would an idea of being able to get the sticker in a multitude of colours not work to cater to everyones tastes such as white, red, black, purple, blue etc etc as what is done with the current sticker. This could also be an idea for thsirt and tops etc so everyone has a colour they want.

Although the text has been spaced, I still think it needs the .co.uk as per my previous point. But as others have said, perhaps we can have different colour options available for folk also.

I'd drop the purple as I think you wont see it on a sticker behind a tint, ( Is there a version with it on the go just now?) just look at the difference from Ali’s post. On a shirt or Tshirt it would be fine. I'd still keep Neil's “S” touch added to the original idea’s. But I too like the .co.uk. as there is too many media formats these days, we could be a Tweet club ( never have and never will tweet) . The ”co.uk” more or less say’s we are on the Web with our own site come take a look.

It’s really just messing with the text now with this one and that no big task but I'm a fan of the outline as it has its merits being instantly recognisable that its about MINI. I ‘m sure there is a few other idea’s floating just no Highland Cow please….:smilewinkgrin:

:hand: I think NEW fits and goes along with the site perfectly. It applies to all new MINIs ranging from R50 to well what ever they have after the F56. We aren't against old Minis with a lot of members on the site having old and new MINI's, but we are mainly a MINI fourm

[Stewart]

No need to change the name as it’s a good fit. Like most on here we grew up with the classic Mini in our lives and as said a few on here build Classics and own them. We drive the new beasties that have the same outstanding drive, same fun factor and silly power without it falling to bits and rusting away. :smilewinkgrin:

[Neil - TXJ]

Just noticed this on another site this evening

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/21/ejy9aneh.jpg

[Mon the fish]

^^ too messy IMO. The one Craig posted (prefer that font), with an R50 instead please :thumbs up:

[d.oxley72]

I like the white design, it's nice and clean. Well done.
Personally, I dont think it needs the ' co.uk ' as I've looked at other forums and Facebook groups that have logos that don't have the forum / group name presented as an internet domain.
Also, extending the outline of the mini to accommodate the 'co.uk' doesn't really work for me. I know the extension is subtle but the outline looks better in its original form.

[Craig]

I think it's time for someone with the skills to do one with an R50 in the same design as the one we all seem to like which is the white outline and do 4 options

White Outline R56 with Red S

White Outline R56 with Purple S

White Outline R50 with Red S

White Outline R50 with Purple S

I think we have kinda sorted out the main part of the design, now it's just the tweeking.... that seem the way forward ?

[Stewart]

See I just see a Mini Hatch. It’s a graphic I doubt considering the level of detail involved that there would be a difference. Really you can tell this is a R56 over a R50. I just think it gives the indisputable MINI shape over all and that’s what we want. Regardless its not going to say to me R50 over R56 or vice versa even tweaked, its just going to say MINI.

[RobSco]

Hi Craig

Working on the R50 at the moment and this is where I'm at the present time, if someone wants to use this to see if the can get the outline please feel free, I could even send a copy of it in jpeg format just drop me a PM and I'll send it to them... Will try over the weekend to see if I can get it looking like the other logo, or if you see something in this that can be changed let me know... :thumbs up:

but I do think the R56 looks better like Ali said the decals seem to fill it out more

Thanks Rob, I'll have another bash later to see what I can come up with, its trying to get something that is similar to the R56 design that is giving me a problem, but at least I'm finding out how to use my Photoshop in ways I never knew rather than just use it the simple way and probably use it as it should be, also need a decent side on photo of an R50 which I'll take later as all of mine are taken at a slight angle... :thumbs up:

Back to the drawing board... :computer: ... :scratch: ... Hope it doesn't come to this... :badcomp: ...:lol:

[MINI William]

Totally agree with the above the R56 design just works and looks so much better. Sorry to say but the R50 without the detail looks slightly like a old Micra :smilewinkgrin:

[Neil - TXJ]

Sure the R50 will look just as good if we can get the detail on it. Then we will just need to decide between the 2.

[Craig]

Thanks for all the hard work so far guys :)

[Stewart]

Good work Rob, I took a look at a silver Mini R50 to outline and thought either its going to look pants with my PS skills or at best not much different so passed on giving it a go. To be fair the outline is less MINI as its missing the little touches. Blank as it is it could be a few cars, car shaped yes but does not smack you about the face saying “MINI” like the other version.

What from the other version just to be pedantic would a R50 bring? At best a MINI shape that I’d still consider as just a MINI shape. To me there is not enough detail on the R56 version to seriously denote its just an R56. All everyone really wants is an more up to date graphic, is it a bad thing if it is loosely a representation of what the majority of the Club are now driving. The other thing maybe being too accurate gives us a more sterile image when the other is a we bit more rougher highlighting the lights, screen, pillars, and spoiler that is just looks better and more pleasing to the eye.

I just think for a MINI shape we nailed it.

[Craig]

I really like the R56 graphic and I'd be happy to go with that however we have to listen to ALL parties to ensure they all get a say. :)

A decision will inevitably have to be made that will not please everyone but we have then at least taken all the opinions into consideration. Democracy not dictatorship ;)

I think we are pretty much at a stage where we have enough options to have a vote - agree Yes/No ?

[stoney]

I think we are pretty much at a stage where we have enough options to have a vote - agree Yes/No ?

Yes I think we have enuf for a vote :D

[Stewart]

The outline suggested as the R56 works for me, it has all the elements, the round lights, the raked windscreen , the wee spoiler, B pillars. Looks beefy and instantly just looks right.
Trying to get an outline as close to it seems to only amplify the idea it's the right one.

[G17RDY]

Photoshop for me.

[Bazthemod]

Illustrator for me - logos have to be vector files to be used by vinyl / embroidery companies. Photoshop is for photos and it will be a pain in the arse to export this format to anything a commercial printer / embroidery company will like. It is useful for brain storming ideas quickly though.

"Scotland" part in the logo. Think it should be more prominent IMO


At 8000rpm no-one hears you scream !

[N16SHP]

Think Baz has created the best logos to date IMO :yes nod:

Agreed!

[Stewart]

Certainly the more generic car shape that William and Baz have suggested gives more emphasis on the text to that of the more recognisable R56. The R56 being more detailed with MINI traits could detract from the message that we are trying to get across of the web address. I’m still not fond of different colours for the text as to me it just looks to messy and will be worse under a tint.



Another quick wee play with the other outline.

Good Point, and shouldn't be TOO much extra cost involved. Remember my point about it saying "THE website" rather than "A website", the former has a bit of 'oomph', whereas the latter makes us sound like also-rans...

[Craig]

I was thinking the asme earlier today...

I think the vast majority like the R56 outline. Just the text and colour to sort :Whistle:

[stoney]

Think we should set up a vote of what one members want now as there are lots of them in this thread :D

We should do this ^^^^^^

[ELFMAN]

Yes, narrow it down to 2 or 3 choices, and have a vote.

I still think that the wording should read "THE WEBSITE..." as opposed to "A WEBSITE...", the former sounds confident, the latter sounds apologetic. If "THE" is too egotistical, it could perhaps be "YOUR WEBSITE..."

I don't know exactly how they're produced, but I think, if possible, it would be good to have the logo sticker as a 'die-cut' outline of the MINI, rather than the image on a square patch.

Sorry if I've missed this, but is it for the inside or outside of the window? If it's for the inside I know you can get 'permanent' versions and the ones you can peel off and re-position... preferences?

Finally... What about cost? Is someone paying 'up front' for production? I think there should be a communal fund to pay for these - or at least a list of those who want them and pre-payment - so that one person isn't left out of pocket with a bagful of unused stickers.

[Mon the fish]

^^ I'd also go with that tbh. Simple and clear, having "The website for..." just adds unnecessary clutter IMO

[Craig]

It's also my favourite. :)

Ok I think it's time for an executive decision....

I think the vast majority agree that the above logo is what they want. We won't please all of the people all of the time. ;)

So, I'm going to give people til the end of the week to give me serious objections to this design (I also want it to be handed if someone has the skills to do that).

Alan I also need you to give your blessing or otherwise to the design and then we need to work out the cost of setup etc and how it will be paid for.

Thanks :)

Red S looks like we are S centred website which we aren't. If it was white just like the rest, that would be better... Simple is better with a logo

[weefossy]

I'd also go with white S because it stands out.
When we start to embroider T // polo shirts etc the background colour can be whatever colour the shirt comes in with the white highlight, no need for the black background. In my case, dark green polo shirt with white embroidery, would match The Beast. Rob could have black embroidery on a red T shirt to go with Nasher, or red on black, if that makes sense. The costs would be the same as it is still only one colour being embroidered on a standard shirt.

Lots of good points here. On reflection I have to agree with Craig and Malcolm - Re. being not just 'S' oriented and using a white 'S' for clarity.

Combining BOTH their views and picking up on Mon's point Re. using a 'non-serif' typeface like Arial - also better for clarity and gives a 'cleaner' more up-to-date look.

However, I'd maybe move the 'S thing' on a bit and suggest that as we're trying to promote an 'ALL MINI' image where all variants are welcome, we should drop the 'stylised' S and just use the same typeface for the whole line. If we have an 'S' which looks like the badging, it's going to 'suggest' an 'S' bias whatever colour it is.

If no red S, then a saltire inside the O would be smart

[Gismo]

I've kept well away from this discussion so far, we are 21 pages in and still no one can agree on what style we should go for :lol:
I think the discussion regarding the S symbol is typical of the feelings within the community.
The S on the Cooper S model is such a style icon, but, to me it simply denotes it's a MINI, of course others will disagree hence the 21 pages, can any non S owners actually say whether it bothers them or not if the new logo (by page 1,000,000) is made that it will offend them in any way to make them leave the site or post up angry comments.
What about the Clubbie, Paceman, Countryman, Diesel, One's and Cooper's folks think..........................

If anyone wants my opinion, to add the S in it's red form and in the actual font will make it stand out in a way to highlight that it is of the MINI marque and not because we are an S only site.

I was slightly disappointed with the reaction to the GP section, i was trying to bring in much needed new membership to NMS and GP owners were joining up, but, i was happy to drop it.

Anyway, i've said it before and i'll say it again, this is your site, i simply run it and give it a host home to live and breathe.
Once the final design is agreed i'll implement it into the site.
And, as was shown in the past whereby i chose the logo against the poll i won't have any say in this one, you're ball you decide :smilewinkgrin:

I'm cool with the 'S' being as the car but would prefer it in white TBH.......don't think it would stop me buying them though. I think handing them is a must and buying them in pairs is a very sensible idea IMO. Just my 'ONE' pence worth :Whistle::thumbs up:

If no red S, then a saltire inside the O would be smart



I showed one with that earlier on

I think the "S" either has to either be white or possibly blue so as to tie into Scotlands colours and seeing as the rest of the badge/sticker will be white already, a little bit of blue would be perfect, so either the saltire in the "O" like my picture or a blue "S" :thumbs up:

As a COOPER owner, I personally think the S should tie in with the rest of the chosen font and not based on the Cooper S "S", just my honest opinion folks, please dont knock me to the ground and kick me... :smilewinkgrin:

And as Alan commented on, what about the rest of the mini classes like, Cabrio, Clubbie, Countryman, Coupe', Paceman and Roadster? well what if it was possible to make silhoettes (like the hatch, above) of either varient of mini so what ever model you own you would be able to get a badge/sticker of your preferred model which will still advertise the site and your particular vehicle :yes nod:

More than happy with the Cooper S "red S". Think we should have a poll and decide, as we know the main design that we want. The purple S IMO wont stand out as well as the red.

Would the red S and the saltire in the O be too much?

Also the font as the Cooper boot badge is would be nice

I think it would be to much tbh

I like the red S but am happy for it to be white I would happy have the logo I have posted a few times saying this is my fav as a sticker for my CLUBMAN !! Don't see a big prob in it being the hatch as when you say mini most people think of the hatch

Happy to have it all the same font if that what the majority want ;)

I still think the Red Stylised 'S' is the most effective design - but I don't want to upset 'non-S' members.

If they weren't overly concerned I'd go for that option. Any COOPER or ONE members have a strong opinion on this before I vote?
