Calgary Reefers Logo Revival

[Quinn]

So a while back I said I would finish my version... I'm finally getting around to it. Someone asked me to take a photo of a purple tang and use that in the logo. Here's that fish, two versions. I'd like some general opinions as to the fish itself for now, and later I'll put it into place in the logo if all goes well.





As I mentioned in the original threads, my main goal was to create a logo that would be cheap and easy to print. Certainly we can use more than one logo, it's not as if we're trying to create a brand here. But I thought I should finish up my part of the deal, maybe we can get T-shirts done or something.

Hey Quinn ... Ya remembered

I kinda like the second one but why dont we put it to a poll for a more acurate pick ?

Glad you decided to finish it off

Cheers

Done Steve. I should also note that the second one will probably be cheaper to print.

We are also not limited to a purple tang, obviously. If Moo would like to pose for a good shot...

Great logo....bright only 2 color...simple but realistic, just needs a shirt.
If you are looking for another tang to use try the vlamingii naso tang ...there are some good pics in the gallery.
..So mark me down for one XL purple tang shirt (or other) when I come through in July...bin there..dun that ..see the reefs ...get the T-shirt

Steve - take your sunglasses off mon - it's definitely number one !

Quinn - MOO We don't want to be shot on sight now do we.....

Hey John, great - more visiting geeks !

[Quinn]

Frankly with the more detailed/less iconic tang, the mountains look like crap, so I took them out. Opinions on this version?



You can see further possibilites at http://quinn.rdcpsych.org/clients/ca...sibilities.gif. We could use one of the two slogans listed in the image on the back of the shirt, with the creators' permission (Tony and the other one I have no idea).

Deb, took me a while to get that one.

I love the slogans! Nonreefers might not understand though .... I glue live animals to rocks. I have to use this in a conversation somehow.

Just a question though .... can we work something reefy into the logo? I dunno, an acro or something, not just a fish? (Just a thought..)

[Quinn]

Sorry Tony, I checked with my people and we just don't think we can do it... just kidding! Does anyone have a good shot of a coral they'd like me to use? Preferably something that will fit nicely behind the tang. Probably an acro of some sort.

Yeah I am a big fan of both slogans. I think the nice thing about them is that they both demand that you be stopped and questioned regarding their message.

No yellow shirts I hope Quinn?
