Brunsie Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Wider? Thinner? Detail? I have edited the tail about 30 times and just can't get it right. Input please. The tail's not bad, just make the body thinner in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawgstoppah Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ok here's my thoughts. Fancy logo's may look great and be appealing... BUT... if you want instant recognizability anywhere, it's gotta be simple... very simple. The mayfly isn't a bad idea, but the first thing that catches my eye in a new place I drive through is any outline of a trout. We all naturally see the outline of a trout and associate it with our passion, rightly so.... I've driven right by fly shops that had a mayfly, or rod and reels, as a logo, and never even knew it... so here are MY choices for a logo... These would be easy to embroider, as well as to get put on T-shirt's, etc. Ya like or no like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Weedy1...I like the flowing lines of the drawing. Nice. Maybe a tad complex tho..one o fthose...you really had to be there moments. (BTW... that pix of maxwell is one of the best pictures ever posted here. The picture says it all. Hawg____. Hey, simple is totally fine. Make it oval instead of square...maybe an embroidered oval and some nice stitching. Bingo. High impact .. no need for any interpretation of what it is. It is a fish..no explanation needed. K.I.S.S. is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rocknbugs Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ok so I "borrowed" an image of SJW's fly and made this. Not meant for a T-Shirt/hat more likely a sticker. Favorite by a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreLastCast Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I like this one if it is possible. Not only does it look great, it would definitely be "Ours". I also like the idea because I, (along with others I'm sure), have to live vicariously thru the likes of Max and our younger Anglers here on this page, so it has deeper meaning to the people that frequent this site. Regardless of whether it gets used or not, nice work Weedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on fixing the fish though, other than that awsome. would be a great decal and would look good on a cap or toque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydropsyche Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Weedy1. I love it. That gets my vote! Or should I say "ewwdy. I lvoe ti. atht gtes ym ovet". Its either that or Brian's. Both are simple and have great impact. Clive. That looks great too (really, really good job. I love what you did with the counter-perspective of the words. Genius.) but it has a lot of detail. What is the smallest size that could be embroidered in? Would it fit on a hat? A sleeve? Brian's would make a great bumper sticker, Weedy's a nice T-shirt and Clives a hat/patch. I'll take one of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The lines and dots on that fish are just black thread. The "detail" in the "scales" is merely stitch patterning that is "built in" to the sewing software. I can stitch this for real (that's a simulation) and see what It looks like. Will speak with my roomy and see if she can do it..... Edited ... She's agreed to stitch it on some denim in the morning. Background: I did a pencil drawing of that rainbow in 1993 form a slide. The trout came from the Aqueduct pond nr Brooks. In 2005, I did the stitch design -- I think it was on an old shirt -- and today I added the FFC words. I too like the lines of Weedy's drawing--VERY arty. Well done man. However, I worry that whereas it means something to us, it won't mean much to others. Yes? No? Do you care? WTF am I doing anyway? I ain't from YYC. When we pull into the lease parking area and see cars from YYC and BC, we groan and curse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedy1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The sleeker, slimmer, and "cooler" version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanJuanWorm Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 The reason i like this logo so much. It shows the NEW flyfishing. Guy in a ball cap just fishin. To me i found a lot of snobs when I first got into fly fishing. This forum shows young people helping old, old people helping young and vice versa. That to me is what fly fishing is all about. Carrying on a legacy, the secret relaxation technique that we have stumbled on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundvike Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The sleeker, slimmer, and "cooler" version. I love this logo it would look great on shirts. A couple of edits that I would make first the reel is still probably too detailed and in the wrong place (j/k sorry spey guys), second I think including some fingers on Max's left hand under the fish might improve the look of the fish. The fish body shape is almost impossible in my opinion because the fish in the original is long and therefore spine is slightly bent. Again wicked stuff from all.

lonefisher Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have to say that weedy's is the cats ass....... even without any more edits it would an amazing logo at would rank right up there with the coolest fishing logos I have seen. My second favorite is lundvikes with SJWs' fly....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawgstoppah Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I do like the fisherman holding a fish logo if you guys can fix that fish. Right now it looks silly to me ..... other than that I do like it. Here's a few more of mine . I think some of you thought it had to be a square. I can be whatever ya want.... a circle, rectangle, blue on black, whatever you can come up with for colors... just I like the simple idea... and probably so does whoever's gonna pay and / or embroider for these items. here's an example more of what I had in mind for it. Tell me you wouldn't get recognized on the river sporting one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryfly Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 ROTFLMAO! Weedy..can you send me a version of the "real" submission with thinner lines? The jaw section of the bull is cluttered for stitching. Thx. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
