I prefer the one with a pair of cans on myself.
Nice.

I go for the plectrum shapes one meself, Nice and simple, efficient. The Headphones looks a bit 'cheesy', something you find in clipart, Headphones are more related to DJ-ing.

Also NWB writing looks good..

I like the 3 plectrum ones without the headphones. Im still a big fan of no.1 as it would reduce down well really small. The other logos would struggle as a mini logo in the top left of a website. The others would work better on a tee/print

1 or 8 do it for me, although 1 reminds me of a 70s tv station logo so 8 gets my douze point. Home splashpage looks awesome

A full features list will be released shortly. Me and woody are working very hard at the moment to get the new site up and running asap. Expect the usual, proper profiles, music, photo, gig listings, and charts + much more.

Got to be numero uno Mr MWB - simple and effective (and it would look great on T-shirts, caps, mugs etc etc), plus ofcourse the 'I'm on NWB' stickers I'll be doing for you so we can all stick them on flight cases, monitors, bass players etc etc!

I like the one with the guitar headstock on and the larger "NorthWestBands" title.. It immediately tells people that its guitar bands that they're dealing with and not DJs, cds, music players, or owt like that...I incorporate the old red white & blue NWB logo on my posters that I send to venues, and also my Lazzy Band business cards, so my decision for the new look one will be based on those factors (X Factors!? NWB style!)..... I thank you. :-)

# Posted by Pop Criminals - 24/04/2009, 01:14 (GMT)

Excellent designs. 1 is a cool looking logo but 5 has a clearer theme of live music.
1 would also work well as a smaller icon or tee shirt, I think.
Who's done the graphic design?

Rams head?? I think that says more about your mind :-)

# Posted by SABRE - 24/04/2009, 14:45 (GMT)

number one is the eye catcher, maybe the nwb in red. then you have a tricolour logo. i like the word tricolour i,m going to use it often as tricolourly possible.

Ooooh...No need to be rude... i was simply adding my opinion to the thread.... i see a Ram head down charging the letters NWB... surely someone else sees it...

DF, did you not know, every NWB blog post has to end with the obligatory "NWB innuendo". Rob dog and sabre are the experts in it.

# Posted by mr.nwb - 24/04/2009, 18:30 (GMT)

ok, i've removed the ones which nobody voted for, and put up some new ones, which I much admit are VERY GOOD contenders. I really like the NWB with the headstock bit flying off. Also the NWB with the headphones would be very cool as a "NWB FAN" logo... we could have a different logo for fans, bands and venues.


Avatar
 
# Posted by mr.nwb - 24/04/2009, 18:30 (GMT)

Maybe, they would work well as NWB icon set. - just flying some ideas about


Avatar
 
# Posted by Kyle - Stubborn Sound - 24/04/2009, 18:46 (GMT)

I like the idea of custom band/fan/venue logos. For me personally, the ideal logo would probably be some kind of bastard offspring between 1 and 2...

Great choice sticking Uncle Rotter on the main page, by the way - will hopefully scare away any spammers and ne'er-do-wells :D

# Posted by "RED ZOO" - 24/04/2009, 18:51 (GMT)

No worrys Mr NWB.. Got to say the new number 2 is my bang on favourite up to yet...looks proper..
Can i also add, this site just keeps getting better, there must some awards we can put you up for, its bazzin man.


Avatar
 
# Posted by Bat - 24/04/2009, 18:53 (GMT)

I must admit, no.1 is still my favourite, as your main one.Your icon set is interesting... headphones for the fans who are the listeners.... No.2 for the bands... and for the venues... hmm.. maybe do one with a roof on? Or maybe make the N of NWB into a note like so..

Pete, click View>Source (ctrl-u) on Firefox/Opera) and all will become clear...
...Or more likely, not clear at all, depending how much you understand web coding :D

Quick explanation: it's witchcraft

Pete, url is the web address of the image location. Ends in .jpg or .png or .gif
Right click whatever image you want, select 'copy image location' (image location is the url) and then paste it into here. Like the youtube vids.

# Posted by Bat - 25/04/2009, 19:06 (GMT)

Altho icon sets would be good, i think having one proper one that covers all areas is much better, and everyone can identify this site with the one logo. Also, if you ever printed up merchandise, you'd only have to do one set rather than a set for every logo going.

Trust me to be different....I'd go for No 2....it's the best design by a mile.....
No 1 looks like a fooking Pokemon.....

# Posted by The Cottonhouse Shakers - 16/06/2010, 00:50 (GMT)

1. = retail park signage (ESSO, tesco, Burger King)

2. Made for musicians, very good

3. Not bad but that plectrum design isn't very original, reminds me of something but not sure what (LIDL, KFC.....)

4. Made for Hi-Fi enthusiasts

5. Advert for music shop in guitarist mag.

I think number 2
