Do we have a logo or a patch?

[OzFab]

Since you put it that way, maybe not the best idea but, as you said, it's up to Robert

Paying the $5 only means you get the image without the watermark...

 

[Doc Sprocket]

It's not a bad image, and I suppose we could add the text to it- but I don't know if they would allow "commercial" use- which is partly why I was hoping like heck that we'd get some good "volunteered" submissions.

Gawd, I wish I could draw. I need logos for some other stuff, too...

Yeah It's alright but It'd be cool if we came up with something better.

If Robert paid the correct fee, I dont think there'd be any issues with using that Image for commercial use.

At this point, our website is already using this Image below:

I think its a pretty cool pic, maybe we could just make that part of our official logo, or have someone here re-create/re-draw it to use...

 

[Doc Sprocket]

The only problem I have with the image we are already using is the fact that it is visually "busy". I was hoping for a much simpler image/logo that would lend itself well to vinylcutting,embroidery, inexpensive printing, etc.

Someone should link me to some high-quality/high resolution photos of their karts, I think it would be neat to design a logo using something that came to life with help of the site and its users.

another? Just goofing off here.

or another... a personal favorite after playing around with it.

 

[brandongeiger2]

I really like Kelly's idea it looks simple but get the message across

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Kelly- Not bad! Not bad at all. Nice and clean, some solid submissions there. Thank you!

I wouldn't mind seeing another font or two with them...

I like it too, but for some reason it just isn't exactly what I pictured our logo would be. I don't know why.

 

[xXPOEDUNKXx]

I like it the most so far. Good work man

 

[OzFab]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it but the first thing I see is a nuclear hazard symbol

Also (now I'm just being picky) the spanner in the last one doesn't fit the bolt head

I like it too, but for some reason it just isn't exactly what I pictured our logo would be. I don't know why.

Well, we haven't seen yours yet :toetap05:

Hey Kelly, who did your artwork?

 

[landuse]

Well, we haven't seen yours yet :toetap05:

If you need a stick man on a stick kart, I am your guy.....Unfortunately I wasn't hit with the artistic stick when I was born

I do like Kelly's artwork though

 

[Kelly Wood]

I'll just reply to all of this here. LOL This is pretty funny actually. For answers: I do my own artwork, the nuke symbol spawned the drawing... but it's a tri-star wheel pattern.. and yes, the spanner (wrench) doesn't fit... it's a mock up drawing intended to inspire y'all. When one's decided on, then it's rebuilt and if the wrench is used, trust me, it'll fit the nut.

If I've got some spare time today at lunch, I'll knock some more out.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

On behalf of everybody here at DIYGK, I'd like to thank you for your efforts!

 

[anderkart]

Looking good Kelly, thanks

I got the tri-star rim reference, but many here on this forum wouldnt.

Perhaps you could come up with some type of simple/homemade-appearing (bare) go kart frame as part of the logo. I'm thinking that would probably be the most appropriate for this forum.

Like just a simple/bare (DIY...) frame that needed all the other parts & work done to finish it up. Like just adding some cool text to a pic similar to this:

ok, some lunchtime goofing off.

Here's something else. This one incorporates some "lifted" imagery from the web, but I can make my own if a design like this was chosen.

I think the font is wrong, but you get the idea.

eh?

 

[Kelly Wood]

another really simple one, once again using a lifted image... but that's easy enough to redraw.

 

[souperman000]

I like the second one better, With the whole kart front. I also like the slogan.

Maybe make the slogan a little bigger, add the domain, and some pizazzconfused

I like the ones you are pumpng out kelly, good work!

EDIT - It was post #90...

What about this? I was working with paint and I couldnt get back to the pointer so I couldnt manipulate things (or delete them) how I wanted to. But you guys see the basic concept right? As you can see its just the go kart that was built on the homepage.

I was thinking someone with photoshop could change the color to just an outline of the kart? IDK, someone with a better program can play with it.
