What's the best one? New SMM logo

[Lakes]

These guys have been working their asses off trying to come up with a logo for the Ski Movie Music site. Now I want to hear what you all have to say about them. Which one is the BEST? Most distinguishable? Worth making a sticker/shirt out of?
Bandana Guy -

Silhouette Dude -

Box Logo -

Skull Man -

Third one, by far. The only other one I like is #2 but something about it bugs me, not sure what though...

 

[[]Soul_Steeze[]]

the 3rd one would be my number 1 pick.

with the 2nd one right behind it.

 

[Calb3rt]

2 or 3

 

[inactive]

numero tres

A lot of my non-newschoolers buddies have been saying that this one is the best:

Does that change anyone's mind?

 

[Billek]

I love the first one, in both of the styles. Its a style I don't see too much of.

 

[Peter.]

1st, or 3rd

i dont like the musical notes on the 2nd one

 

[anomericas]

Am I the only one who likes the skelle-skier?

 

[kko]

i like the 3rd one the best

I think its damn good artistry but just not quite a logo... Love the gradients and depth and shit though... He's a way good artist...They all are.

 

[doublexl]

i like the designs, but i dont like any of them for a logo.

it needs to be more condensed if you want to make stickers though.

 

[Lakes]

And here is an updated one...

 

[hartig]

For some reason the first three and the very last one you posted aren't showing up on my computer..

 

[Jwalk]

that one or 3

 

[1990]

what about this one? haha

 

[macvid]

number 3 by far

 

[Peter.]

actually like that one a lot

 

[MESKI]

none of these are "logos"..... but i like the blue dude for a shirt

 

[Schoellkopf]

 

[Willard]

thist is the best or the third one

 

[Lakes]

You guys aren't making this easy. Its pretty across the board...

 

[ax_murderer]

i like this one

 

[H0NKY]

this one or 3

 

[Willard]

Just go with the third one it looks professional. You guys should make stickers out of that one to.

 

[Grube]

i like this one.

 

[mBall]

I think skull man is sick

 

[.jr]

exact same.. my vote for the blue guy..

 

[skiizy]

3rd one, w/o the border thing at the bottom

 

[A_Davis]

3rd would be a sick logo and a sticker

 

[miketheskier88]

My favourite is the second one... That would fit on a t-shirt perfectly.

+1 To all those who are saying that none of them are logos... There's too much going on for them to be a logo. A logo is simple, not complex. Just look at newschoolers logo for example.

 

[Lakes]

It seems that everyone has a different definition of a logo (which is totally way okay, don't get me wrong!). Whether it is stylized text or some graphic the ultimate goal is to create something that is very memorable. Something that quickly allows you to associate some company with what you see.
I have to agree that some of the best logos ever (apple, IBM, google, nike...) can be simple but also check out some of these:

...some are crazy complex!
Anyway, the point of this tirade is that I am super stoked to see what these guys have come up with. Anyone of the logos on this page would work great for the site and is a HUGE improvement to my initial slightly stylized text.
GOOD JOB EVERYONE!
...and to be totally honest I am going to have to think about it another day before I make my decision.
So until then tell me what one you like and WHY?!?!
Thanks NS!

 

[birdshake]

[no_steeze]

i really like the blue version of #1, it doesn't really even need to say ski movie music, i like how simple it is and i would def buy a shirt with that logo on it

 

[fsscott]

Finally, after much deliberation, we have figured out who's artistic skills will grace the front of our website. It wasn't an easy choice, as all of the final choices were well received. Ski Movie Music thanks you all for your opinions and and especially those that contributed designs.
For those that contributed designs early on to the thread that disappeared please contact me, we would like to give you credit for your contributions.
For those that made the final round how about $20 in iTunes/Amazon credit?
And for the winner? $100 in iTunes/Amazon credit!
AND THE WINNER IS.......

...so who wants a shirt?

 

[Willard]

Me will it be on the website

 

[Lakes]

WHAT??? When will it be on the site? When the new site rolls out. ;-)
