New logo

Groovy new logo guys! I've cropped and resized it to create a logo we can use to link from Portobello Online:

...but if you have something different or better let me know.

For the love of Christ, please can someone submit something, anything, different or better than this.

You don't like it? I thought it had a kind of retro look. Let's see yours then. Maybe there should be a design competition?

I already posted mine.

It's awful. Sorry guys. Please go back to something more understated.

sorry Bob , not impressed with logo must say though no ideas what else to do ? something more subtle ?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 17 Mar 2007, 16:35

No need to apologise, it's not my design. I think wangi might be a bit miffed though.

It's a bit girly isn't it?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 17 Mar 2007, 16:38

Don't you want to get in touch with your soft, feminine side?

No thanks - can we just have something that doesn't give the impression that this is the place for to come for a girly chat. For those that like that kind of thing that's fine but this place is more than just that.

Where?

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » 17 Mar 2007, 16:43

Do you think we could get this design in there somehow?

Is this it?

We did in fact ask for ideas and were positively underwhelmed by the response.

If you have a better design then please send it in to us.

Of course if we had opted for surfporty.org we would have had a much easier task when it came to selecting a design ...

Must admit we did have similar reservations Ali. Trouble is the word 'talk' doesn't really bring to mind very many visual connotations.

How about a keyboard instead of the lips

Post by **wangi** » 17 Mar 2007, 18:36

Howabout white...

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 17 Mar 2007, 18:49

Just back from holiday to see those awful lips (yuck).
Sorry but I think it's a bit naff.
I'll try and put my thinking cap on, if everyne else tries too.

For what its worth I like the third one

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 17 Mar 2007, 20:13

It's worth plenty, Izzie ... especially as I agree with you!!

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » 17 Mar 2007, 20:28

Wangi's third design. Very professional-looking.

Thanks Skeely. I know you would help out if you could and I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but a problem with that design is that its a wee bit too evocative of the POL one and we don't want any confusion to arise about our independence.

Bob's makes me think of 'Sainsbury's' for some odd reason.

I think the budgie logo would be perfect

I like Wangi's third design but then again I quite liked the first one, nothing girly about it, we all have lips and the colours are seasidey

Izzie · Post by **Izzie** » 18 Mar 2007, 18:37

Looks good Wangi

Much better

magbagpuss · Post by **magbagpuss** » 18 Mar 2007, 18:45
