Calling all artists: Logo Designs Needed

[The Stig]

Attention all members.....

If you have any graphical design skills, the forum needs your assistance.

In an effort to avoid any legal issues or problems we need to design a new logo for shtfready.com We simply can't use the ant logo found in the banner in the top left portion of the screen.

So we're asking for your help to come up with a logo design. This would be used in various promotional items such as (but not limited to) stickers, patches, challenge coins, business cards, etc

Here's what we'd like

1) Include an ant head or ant in the design
2) Include the website address in the design
3) The rest is up to you and your imagination

Just keep in mind that you can't take any copyrighted materials or any imagine that we'd need permission to use. In other words, you can't go copy the McDonalds Golden Arches and plop them in your design.

Hope this makes sense....please let us know if you have any questions. If you decide to come up with something just post it in this thread (or pm the image to me and I'd be glad to post it for you)

Thanks in advance for your help!

I 'll have 3 designs for you tomorrow.

Remember that this is not a freebie. I want to pay for the winning design.

Lunchbox donated the idea of an ant, in full load of pack, harness, etc walking over top the website address.

I have zero artistic talent but if someone who can draw wants to work on that theme LB gave open access to the idea.

I can't draw but one of my nephews draws action figurers like you wouldn't believe. I'll see if he wants to draw something up for us.

I see it as the website letters being larger and smaller to show ups and downs. But as I told Stig, I see but can't draw worth crap.

If the letters were in lower case, That would provide natural ups and downs...

How is the Ant head copywrited? due to the colour scheme? An ant head/ant is a generic shape that can be used by anyone. If all it would take is a revamp to the colour scheme, that might make things earlier

Personally I would like to see something simple enough to be sketched, scratched, markerd, or spraypainted quickly by anyone.

If SHTF, and I want to put up a notice that this group is welcome, I could spraypaint the head on the road marking a path to a safe house

I can not draw either but here is what I thought of. A fully dressed decked out RAMBO ANT. With big muscles, two rifles one in each hand. Bullets acrossed his chest. With the websight going around the top. At the bottom it says ARE YOU SHFT READY?

We can do a full on ant and web site for what ever and have just a matching head for the Icon/badge/avatar/brand.

^^E, that sounds good. As stated....if someone wanted to mark an area they could just use the head as a symbol no matter what color.
