Chargers-bftblogo3

Heard there was a heads up for a new logo for our fine Blog. So i found some free time and laid it down. Hope you dig.

Glad you like it.

was going for noticeably chargers, and law-abiding.

This one looks pretty cool.

This off-season officially sucks for FIVE reasons and counting...

Its nice...

but if it was a little less cartoony, I’d love it.

how close are we allowed to get to the official

Font and Colors? The closer the better I say. And maybe a little less “beachy”

by Stephen (shaynes41) on Mar 3, 2010 8:20 AM PST reply actions  

Three options

1. Beachy
2. Stormy
3. Horsey

Beachy works for me.

Colors we can do…..font is a little trickier.

Pretty good.

I like that the Charger bolt logo forms the crest of the wave.

This looks great...

I agree about the font, and I’d like a slightly more defined bolt. Otherwise, terrific work.

Great feedback

Thanks, especially for a first draft. I just got the chargers fonts (the classic with the goalpost “h” and the blocky one). so i’ll try a couple things out and post ‘em. As far as making it look more bolt-y, not too sure what i could do without infringing… but i’ll take a crack at it.

Version 2

It’s a little more agressive looking. Scrapped the hokey-yet-agreeable beatles font. As far as the colors go i sampled them straight from the actual chargers logo.

Better?

Love the wave

Doubt we could use the font.

I’ve put in a request to change the logo to one of these.

does the BFTB logo

have to be more portrait sized than landscape sized?

by Stephen (shaynes41) on Mar 4, 2010 12:06 PM PST up reply actions  

Yes

Cool

Any changes needed can be made, so if there’s a problem with the font, i could do a blocky Chargers-ish font. can make it portrait too. won’t be at my comp ’till tmw, so any changes suggested can be seen then. thanks again for the great response!

Love this!

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m totally fine with this.
