A New Logo For Ecigssa - By The Community!
- Thread starter Gizmo
- Start date
Good feedback there.
Please keep in mind guys... CONCEPT BOARD.
These are just IDEAS.
It's not pretty. The colours are not right. The shapes are not final.
Concept boards only probe the idea.
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Out of my whole board, the leaf designs come off better than the others...
I have a whole heap of respect for what you guys do. My artistic side is much more in carpentry, but drawing and computer design work goes right over my head....
I quite liked the impressive and polished look on this one by @Derick

Just keep in mind that these are only concept boards that i'm posting.
There is simply no way that I am gonna smack the polish on each one... I'm already sitting on 38 pages of variations!!!
Once we get to a concept that feels right, refining the fonts, edges, elements and polish will come.
Bump.
For great Justice!
Taking a long break - wife will be home in a few.
Click back to quoted message for some concepts.
Me too!
I've been dabbling in graphic design for many years using the ultimate tools bundled with windows since 1995! I've filled many white spaces using the unlimited potential of the paint bucket tool, I can also put words on pictures using using the text tool but it just looks much more stylish when I use the pencil tool for everything. ECIGSA, here is your new logo. You are welcome. I'm sure everyone will agree that this thread can now be closed. 
Bwahahahahaha love it

Thats it right there!
I have ranted enough on not liking the term ecigs for its association with cigarettes, but if it is a must, I do like the idea of bringing vaping into the equation.
All that's missing is more cowbell. You gotta have more cowbell!
The main problem with that layout is that the entire inside is so busy, and everything so small, that in application even at reasonable sizes like the actual forum Banner - it just washes away.
Take it down to icon size and its just a mash of nothing.
Bringing "vaping" in somewhere, would have to be done as a sub-line alongside "South Africa's Electronic Cigarette Enthusiast's Forum.
Anywhere else would constitute a massive shift, and quite possibly even a name change - both of which I have already been advised is not on the table.
I like the ecf one
has a nice clean look
I agree, I like flat clean logos.
Of course, I was not commenting on the design of @kimbo, just the idea that it might be good to have a link between ecigs and vaping. I know absolutely nothing of design and design principles. I am sure that engineer, what's his name @360twin, will have some input on the design, it is in their nature
.
Oh, it has "vapers" in there (twice), which is what I am looking for - the link between vaping and ecigs.I like the ecf one

1: I hear you.
2: I even agree with you.
But I am not changing a single word or even letter that is already in-place.
I also do not feel that this is the avenue for such a change.
I might be wrong about this, but if there is going to be a change of identity, name, slogan, catch-phrase, or any such things - then those changes need to happen elsewhere before this can go forward.
As things are though, I continue on the mandate that i DO have, until instructed otherwise.
TL;DR = Not the place for such changes.
