Contest Brief

I need new logo for our bicycle brand.

You can design from scratch or you can use some of our previous designs I have uploaded in additional.
The logo should contain logo letters and sign, like famous brands I have provided for your reference.I suggest you visit famous brand bicycles web sites and there you can get idea how the design should look like.

Let me explain a little about bicycle logo the way I look at it.
Unlike traditional brand logo, that use font and some association elements as one entity, bicycle logo use two entities, first entity - some „sport looking” font with maybe some correction on one or more letters in order to look more interesting and second entity- the trademark or sign that represents the association part of logo. Both entities are used for bicycle decal design and should look as simple and clean as possible.

Where to start?
First you have to do some homework. You should do some research. Take famous logo I have uploaded, maybe find some more by yourself .That could be any sports logo like Nike (shoes), Cube (bicycle) , Babolat (tennis). Try to figure it out, what they all have in common. Then try to find the way our logo name looks and feels the same.
How to do it?
You should pickup the right font, this is critical part and our primary objective. I am sure all of you have large database with fonts. In case you are not satisfied with those you have, you may try to find it on the web. Check here for example http://www.iconian.com/
As soon as you find it that's it, you will know how to finish work.

    Dear artist,
    Here is the winner of this contest. This is ….the Lanangali’s work #77 .
    This is my impressions related to this work.
    The work is steady, it resist all the probation. It resist to breakup placed at the high angle to observer’s eye, on one of its main destinations, bicycle down tube, and offers nice, simple and clear outlook. It makes its product recognizable, even from a respectable distance. It keeps its strength, with or without, well balanced outlines and shades and additional design elements.
    The work is a bit “flowery” and it is not unite with equally good looking sign (iconic part) ,which means it certainly needs some “polishing”, but since like this it offers variety of usability options.

    Day 8

    Dear artist,
    There are only two days left.I think I am about to announce the winner before predicted time.

    There are no new competitors adding work, so for now situation is clear.If noting new happens today that would be it. I don’t know are you going to be able to see the winner’s work, since this is sealed contest, but I promise I would explain my decision.

    I would only like to say I enjoyed working with you all these days. It was my privilege, working on this, all over the world crowd sourcing project, and I want to thank you for the honor that you made me with your presence.

      Your iconic part doesn't seems to have any visual connections to logo name.It didn't convinced me, I am not sure what it represents.

    Day 7
    Dear artist,
    There are only three days left. So far we have two mature works. It is going to be interesting whether someone else will joint this club.
    As of today, I will start to reject all the works that, in my opinion, didn’t succeeded to find “that look”.
    I have tried to help, but this isnt some classes for industrial design and I am not some teacher either.
    I say industrial design because you have to keep in mind where it should be placed.What are limitations with respect to visibility and proportions , angles and etc.. It should be placed on bicycle tube, and not on some brochure or any advertising material.

      #103 ,
      I think it has too many details on sign(iconic) part(tree pcs) .Pls decide which one is the representation.They don't have any visual connections to your letter part. All of those three I have provided for you as example, using it you disqualify your work.

      # 96, I see that font has smoother lines.
      I am not shore does letter R belong to that font. If it is, you may consider using letter P instead, and construct something that suits better. Use it raw (as it is when you type it). Try to find "that look". Pls check comment on jyuss77

      # 97 ,It is not mature.The lines on sign look as they are atrophy bananas, doesn't have that youth freshness.When you draw curved lines they should look natural.
      Since you use Sans-Serif font pls check Fox suspension forks.They use Sans Serif font. There you can get idea about how it should look like.

      # 94 I mean all the lines. Pls use raw font.Your font is very good.
      Usually it is hard to "get that look" on first shot.Before chops and other details, use drag and slope. Two basic operation. Try to find "that look". Take it step by step ,slow and ease. As soon as you find it you can use those tiny decorations, chops etc...but it should look as simple and clean as possible.

      • 10 years ago

      # 93, I see you have started with font construction.
      I think this in not good approach.You have to be real skill font maker to do so. There are some big names out there ( Frutiger, Bodoni etc..) use their work instead.

      # 90 and #92 , I see your point. What is unnatural to me is that all letters look as they are cut from some squire boards with cut ages.Our design represent Rotation - Rotex, so we need smooth lines with some "sport spirit". Sport spirit is represented by your sharp edges but where are our smooth lines.

      Sorry about first sentence I made spelling error.I mean to say " squire boards with cut edges."
      One more thing about your letter X, it is not proportional. The leg with right rotation seams not proportional.

      # 91, Pls remove all black color. Make it more clean. Look at your design. Is it nice. Are you clear with idea what you are after to. Then focus on slight detail like down corner "chops" you have made for letter R T X. Try to find balance. They are all sharp and letter O is all natural oval. Either add a chop to O too or try to find some another balancing element. All other details like your black could be added in decal design but we are now focused on logo.

    @Bantomi
    I see you have used electric bike for presentation of your logo because of extraordinary big down tube. But for our logo, it is not the case. We use ordinary down tubes.So pls check how your logo suits to normal bicycle. Are you satisfy with that solution.What massage does it deliver to you. Does it tell you anything about quality, or a care that is taken in that product design. Would you consider buying such bike. Those are the question you have to answer with your design

    Day 5
    Dear artist,

    After days of struggle, finally you have understood design request and start to deliver some very interesting works. It is going to be hard for me to find best solution.

    As for Sign, I assume you don’t have desirable solution yet, so you didn’t trouble much about it. Pls don’t forget it.
    I was wondering, why you only use capital letters for the logo name. The height of all letters should be the same, but now one said it should be all capital. It could be one or more it doesn’t matter. There are some very beautiful small letters, so pls take a shot

    Hello, Added #79 is it moving in the right direction now?

      • 10 years ago

      Sorry I didnt saw it
      As for #79 I dont know. You have all the elements.Everything is here but, I feel like it is tearing apart. It need something that will unite letters and create some balance.It give me feel like letters "doesn't belong to each other", like you have mixed fonts which you probably did.Mixing fonts is louse job if you are not skilled font maker.
      Now , since you started that way I could only help saying this.You create unite and balance by proportions, which you can achive with same-size same-heigh-width-ratio same angle, same curved line stile.I dont know which one is it but you have to find that element in order to balance your work. Thats why someone could say this is the work of professional and this is not.

    Day 4
    Dear artist,

    Here are some news about ongoing contest.
    Yesterday I have started to reject unsuccessful works. This was good, I can tell it now, and you have started to offer some fresh new ideas, instead of your usual logo approach. Unlike usual company logo, bicycle logo has of its own different design requests and some of you have started to realize that.
    Only one solution, till now, has serious sign. So I have uploaded some ideas- “Sign starting point”. For those with rejected ones, pls check “Letter R starting point” and use some interesting starting letters , maybe find some interesting on your own, and try to shape your fresh new design.
