Heatsink Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 There's still plenty of mileage in the PC Heatsink themes - Nice one :P My first logo was based on the gold Heatsink I had as an avatar for about 2 years. The key thing is to find a way for it to work in minimal amounts of colours (e.g. 1 if possible!) For reference, here's the original logo by Ally Sopp: I had the heatsink simplified down to two colours with Tee shirt printing in mind, leaving the logo as black/white/orange/yellow. By having it printed on yellow Tees, it meant I only needed to have 3 print colours (3 screens made at £20 each) The £60 for screens plus the 3 prints required for each Tee meant that the logo still wasn't print friendly since they turned out too expensive to make. Hence, it has to be 1 colour really :huh: Keep up the good work ! Steve You got me (Y) it was a yahoo image search. Here you go simpler colours. ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1handedluke Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) Heres my one: Not really T-shirt friendly, But i could simplify the colours more if needed. :P Luke EDIT: with the .com on the end aswell.

Tomm Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 By the way, simply desaturating your image does not make it one colour when there's hundreds of shades of grey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 gotta agree, kinda like a revamp of the old one. same composition just more contemporary. good effort :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) mmm I like it too, only one thing is the `S` looks like an `O` to me. Edited September 3, 2005 by lego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 why not try and do one yourself? ← Ta da! Two designs, too lazy to do two pics. Both simple. Could probably do with a bit more fiddling, but not right now. PS Sam Holmes' last one is kool :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Just my £0.02. If this logo is to be used on the website/T-shirts/stickers/Hoodies/wherever, it is to promote the brand. Therefore, surely, to garner more attention for the company/site, having the actual company name would be better instead of some random choice of initials which no-one has used before? Not picking on Tomm here or anything, but I haven't ever heard anyone refer to Heatsink as "HSB" before, so wouldn't it make more sense to have "Heatsink Bikes" or just "Heatsink" as the dominant feature of the logo, so that people actually know what it is? Meh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh... ← Agreed :P People don't know Heatsink Bikes as HSB And won't ever relate to HSB for them. I reckon the best ones will just say Heatsink Bikes or 'Heatsink' in a cool font with some outline or something. I'll have a dable tomorrow, or rather, Rich will :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well I thought it was less risky than HB which is blatently HoffmanBikes. I suppose you're right. Meh :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Wasn't having a go Tomm :) Was just using you as an example. I thought it was kinda sketchy with HB too, but again 'cos of the Hoffman Bikes thing, but also 'cos if a trials rider said to you "What d'you think of HB?" you'd be a bit "What?" People just know what Heatsink is about, and it's already got a sort of corporate identity in a way, so just changing the logo but keeping the actual name would make more sense?

DrEvil270183 Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 liking SamHolmes so did this quickly with his idea. not sure about layout yet so will prob tweek it. or maybe not after reading the HSB, HS thing...got an idea....

Simon Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Also, Heatsink Bikes is exactly that, Heatsink Bikes, not pads. So wouldn't it be better to do an all round logo, not one that has a set of pads in it, or just a booster? I can't design logo's for shit, so i won't be trying, but just thought i would add that.
