I really like the color and graphic quality of Jersey Devil's design. But I also have to admit I would be sort of bummed to have a logo that had a picture of a man finishing a race.
(I also like the one-way sign)
I certainly understand your comment about the graphic. I kinda like the layout of the text in the logo and feel that any iconic running image in the middle of the design would work: a running shoe, two or more people running together, etc... The more abstract the look, the better. I think any of the designs that have been submitted thus far would look fantastic on a shirt! |

I agree, JerseyDevil. I think yours stays true to Eric's original design and is immediately identifiable to the folks who use this site. And I like the runner with the meaningful race bib number. Maybe just find a more abstract, genderless runner graphic? Then I would be 100% on board instead of only 90%.

Ditto. I also had a little bit of a "why's the runner gotta be a dude" thing going on in my head, but then thought maybe I was just reading too much into it. Glad to see I wasn't alone. Otherwise I love that design. |

This is a logo design contest that means that the logo should be different not just adding images to the existing logo. From a design standpoint some of the logos submitted would not look well at the top of this page or on a t-shirt or other apparel. The logo now is alright, its simple and not over done with graphics. Its not what is in the logo but how the logo is applied. Take a look at all running shoe logos for example Brooks and Asics. The design does not include a imagery by simply being associated with running it is recognizable. I think all of us even myself should try designing something new and different for this contest and break away from the current logo. |

Joni, I like those...they're clean...have the sort of "universal" runner sign symbol, but still work with Eric's logo and color scheme.  |

Quote from Penny_A on 4/21/2008 at 3:02 PM:Here are my shots at the logo: I kept with Eric's color palette, but any colors could be changed. This one is symbolic of the journey we are all on, plus the road being where most of us do our training. 
Ooh, I think this one is my favorite, yet!

Love this one, too. Though the journey a lot of us are on would involve a road that loops back on itself many times, wanders off to the middle of nowhere, and goes off a cliff. Might be hard to fit all that on the logo, though.

Thank goodness for Garmin--at least you can easily map that stuff! |
