New Stormtrack logo contest

[Skip Talbot]

I've been thinking about making some logos for this contest as well, although I've got some other logo obligations to do first. I've always believed that a logo should be simple, easily recognizeable, and preferrably a vector image with only a couple of colors. That way it can be easily duplicated, scaled, and used on a variety of media. Faded images may appear washed out when printed and will pixelate at larger sizes.

Would it be bad to just have someone vector/enlarge the original logo a bit? I like it; it's not a bad logo at all and it's a great link to the past.

 

[Marcus Hicks]

I really like this one as well

I think this one comes the closest. IF the radar signature was for the same tornado -as displayed- that would be my choice...

Dick, I think that first shot from the Roll day would make a fantastic logo. Maybe you could make the Stormtrack letters weave between the funnel or have it go through the 'O' or something.

 

[Paul Hadfield]

This is killer, no doubt, so too is Dan's, I think you two ought to collaborate. Switch out the intro structure and secondary radar shot on Dan's with Dick's roll tornado and the 3d graphic.

Several of these have potential, there's no doubt about it. I wanted to suggest that someone incorporate one of those cool "fog bow" pictures into the logo somehow. There was a thread about a week or two ago regarding this here: http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17939

That fog rolling into the Badlands in SD that H witnessed a year or so ago was way cool in my opinion and would have potential as well.

Just saw this thread....ah man...I've got to sketch something up later tonight after class. I think I can come up with something that is a refreshing classic with a modern twist. But first I've got to get to class.

My first submission will likely be a hand sketch..because the photoshop/illustrator version will take a bit.

 

[Rob Wadsworth]

WOW - it says it all!

 

[MatthewCarman]

My favorite one so far. Good Job Stephen.

 

[Greg Blumberg]

I was thinking about making a logo off of Bart Comstock's wonderful new chase vehicle he displayed when the discussion was all about the balloon boy hoax. I'm not up for taking the time to do it on Photoshop, so if someone else wants to do it, be my guest. Purely for humor purposes:

[Jake Tyson]

here is my first take, i know i need to find a actual picture of a tornado to use on the right side, preferably like the one used on the cover of Twister, and i need a picture of a chase vehicle all decked out (antennas, skywarn stickers, etc) for the back ground.
