TowersStreet - Make Your Mark

[Dave]

Gone for something pretty simple - it's the main tower of the towers flanked with a take on the three flags in the towers logo. What does everyone think?

On this one, the 'flags' are only on one side, giving the idea of progression...moving on...

Here is a another version with the full towers in gradient purple and blue

And the last one, the towers in purple and blue and the name now has a shared gradient 'S'

And to give an idea of the logo at it's smallest

It would be really helpful if you guys could tell me which one to develop -
1) Single tower and 'wing' flags
2) Single tower and single set of flags
3) Full towers


Also, which font? -
1) The TS fontastique font
2) The other one (bog-standard segoe ui)
3) Something else altogether

How about stars as well as or instead of flags? Could work maybe.

Liking all these logos though guys

This is one of my favourites so far, I like the shortening of the word 'street'.

 

[Brett]

im too much of a perfectionist to know when to stop trying Theres only the slight change in the tow but im really stuck to which one works better...

 

[hex4ever]

These may not be logos, but its some work I did a while ago for GCSE art.

 

[Jonny]

Here is a quick first attempt, I'm still trying to make something more original though.

I've been away for a bit so I just thought I'd highlight some of my favourites since I was last paying attention along with adding some improvement tips.

Kelpie, your design is really good and I expect it is the overall favourite so far. I’m not completely convinced with the way the towers appear in the background but their definitely should be something there and I’ve failed to think of a better way to arrange them.

Fredward I think your designs really good and eye catching. Do you mind if I have a go at adding colour to it myself? I like what you’ve started doing but want to add my own variant.

I liked a few of your designs CGM But I think the simplicity of this one made it my favourite.

As above Ryan I liked a few of your designs but I don't think any of them quite worked. The one above I think was quite good although I more naturally imagine the Towers as one single colour. I did like your design with the other text but I think the colour should change abruptly between towers and street like it does on this design. I also think the flags were a good idea but didn’t look quite right, a bit too pale maybe.

Rob I liked your design but it's currently missing a bit of character, I'm just not sure what.

Moley, Interesting design. I think the entrance building looks really good, maybe try simplifying the design on the monorail train (remove the logo's on them and alter the shape).

Brett, good improvement. And while we're still talking about your designs:

I think this was a really good idea but I feel the T doesn't stand out as its own letter. Rather than curving it at the bottom I'd let it continue straight down and meet the S at a corner.

Jonny I think your design is really nice and simple. It stands out really well.


Now that I've been all critical here's my little brainstorming session from the other day
(although I now see Nathan has pretty much done this design anyway)

I tried to make it look as much like a road sign as possible and wanted to add a pipe work design to it just like Alton Tower's current style. The blue is (believe it or not) the closest colour match I could find to the Corkscrews. But then I relied it was pretty much TTF Blue so I tried a purple design (above)

Then I ran out of ideas before I could think of something Iconic to go above it.


Sorry for the long post. Keep up the good work everyone.

 

[Fredward]

If you want to add colour to my design go ahead! I am working on it here and there, but its always good to see others interpretations.

People may view this as a competition, but in design terms, it may be better off for the site the have all designs in display...

A hybrid of two awesome designs may turn out to be much better then one awesome stand alone design...

Just my two cents...

As nice as they are, I'm afraid designs like Fredward's and Moley's are simply too complex and detailed to act as an eye-catching logo to a website that can still be recognisable when scaled down.

They're very nice, but I can't see them possibly working as a symbol of the website, like Kelpie's or Nathan's could. Team, can you confirm how this will work? Are you going to short-list 5 entries and then let the forum vote on them?

Once the deadline closes we will review all the logo submissions, we will select around 4 logos that will then be posted up in Guest Services to be voted for by the community. The winning logo will then be the new face of TS!

Before I have a try of making my own logo could I please ask the people who make these great logos?

Which program do you use to make these awesome logos? I have tried making one on paint but failed miserably. :-\

Thanks!

 

[Ryan]

Right, two more attempts before I get back to real work!


Taking on Tims feedback I've made the flags a bit brighter, and tried two different ways of displaying the name of the site

They're probably using Photoshop, completely legally of course. But try out The GIMP, it's a free and open-source image editor with similar tools to Photoshop. Certainly powerful enough for a job like this, I use it for all my image editing!

 

[Ryan]

All of mine are actually powerpoint hahahaha, screw photoshop!

 

[Tim]

I must admit I've been doing the same. I haven't had enough practice of using a proper image program to make something without taking ages to do it. But I do have a drawing pad which I’m practicing with at the moment.

Ryan I think that looks so much better. Much more vibrant and they actually looks more like flags. The text on both looks quite good.

I really like this one, too! So much talent!

 

[Ryan]

I really like Nathans logo too, but I am worried that it is very similar to the TTF one. It is my favourite out of all of them though!

Same! Well actually I started out with a pencil and bit of paper for mine, high tech I know! ;D
Then I used GIMP after scanning it into my pc (though I have no graphics training - everything I learned I did through MS Paint & Word and it's only during the last year I downloaded the programme so I'm still learning how to use it).

 

[Adam James]

Thought i'd give this a shot, seeing as there's nothing to lose
Played around with an idea for ten minutes, though there's still a bit of tinkering to improve the design I feel.

The GIMP is brilliant, especially in combination with PowerPoint and MS Paint. I actually have Photoshop on my computer but it's stopped working and I think is done for, so the GIMP has taken over its job.
