Title: So who wants bragging rights? (important new info in first post!)
Post by: ducpainter on May 06, 2008, 07:57:23 PM
New Info: we're considering changing domain names! See info in this post (http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=539.msg28942#msg28942). Big

The DMF needs a logo.

We have a few amazing members donating their time fixing the glitches with the forum.

They're the geeks.   wt:

Now we need some designer types to step up and help us out.

Who's in?

Post your ideas up here.

DP - what are the dimensions?  Or is just a logo that will be applied all over and should be treaded like a proper logo?

The board will need to be down while that is fixed, so we are waiting until the right time to do it, and we will give warning when it happens, but probably not until this weekend.

The current logo I made.  It is actually a clutch plate, not a gear. 

I tried to do a circular logo with a clutch plate as a foundation, but was not happy with the results.

anyway, here is another variation of one i already posted, but tweeked a bit. wt:

Here's my idea, could easily be modified to use other images or text... This is with the DOC logo as stock, I could make it more "unique" with some other desmo clip art. I like the text of the checkboard logo, I could incorporate that easily.

I just realized it's kind of close to our local shop's logo.  Oh well, I'll throw it out there anyway.  It's supposed to be simple, recognizable, have no text, easy to reproduce, etc.  The problem is that it has nothing to do with Monsters, specifically...

We'll set this up with a proper thread for voting and such after we've gotten a few more choices.

And, there's a few wrinkles that need to be thrown in, like needing to have one that will fit onto a sidestand puck as well as one that fits on a T-shirt (just examples, it's a little more complicated than that and hopefully it'll be resolved soon).

We will start a poll when we get a field of good candidates - we are not in any rush, so take a week if you need it.  We don't want to miss a great logo by rushing.
_______________________________________
Keep in mind:

* It needs to be scalable.  It should look look 1 inch tall on the forum, and it should look good 1 foot tall on banner. 

* It can be 2 parts - a larger logo with the name and text, and a smaller icon logo like the dml meatball.

* It should be able to be transfered into a CAD program for cutting into metal parts (so things with super fine detail like the wire frame monster would be a problem).

* Not too many colors - that drives up price for printing

Title: Re: So who wants bragging rights?
Post by: corey on May 08, 2008, 05:35:20 PM
Attempt No. 1:
Was lightly inspired by the ducati "mechanicca" wings, while also incorporating the latest "dynamic D" logo.
Also included the loveable clutch plate as a subtle note, per the current feedback in the thread.
Included is a version for light background, and a version for dark backgrounds. Colors are up for changing of course.

This is a scalable vector graphic, so it's compatible with laser cutting, etching (plate brackets? clutch covers?), screen printing (t-shirts?), and computerized embroidering (patches! hats?), as well as most other forms of visual communication.

I even included a small tagline / slogan.

I had considered giving it a little "hooligan" personality by adding a small horns and a devil tail, but thought i'd leave that out for now.

What do you guys think??

(hopefully this image post works)

thats great corey!

what would it look like if the trellis frame was true to the shape/design of the monster?

wonder also if it is possible to "ducati monster worldwide" or should it be "Ducati Monster Forum"....?) in a rough shape of the monster tank

would you be willing to sketch that up?
Title: Re: So who wants bragging rights?
Post by: corey on May 08, 2008, 06:33:53 PM
Well, i pretty much exactly traced the front half of the frame, with only some really slight tweaks. I'm having a bit of trouble picturing your "tank" idea, do you think you could maybe sketch it on paper and show me? I'd be more than willing to execute it... Maybe describe it a little bit differently for me?

Are you wanting the "wings" to not be wings, but rather a full frame, with one short half and one long half? With the type conforming to the rough shape of the monster tank?

Anywho, i did another slightly tweaked version.
Beefed up the frame a little. Changed it from "worldwide" to "forum." Made it a little "racier" and a little more "international."

Looks better w/out the tagline too.

...mitt, i am a member of both the DMC itaila and the DMC roma...yes they are similar but i think its not a negative factor to be "similar" to common interest forums...

by the way the DMC Italia is a HIGHLY indipendent group that does not accept ANY kind of guidelines from Ducati. Its a long story but they just want to be absolutely FREE of any influence what so ever.

A free spirit comunity...

btw my club has pretty similar logos and graphics as well...

Haha. Here we go!
And ALL of our designs are strikingly similar to old ducati logos  [laugh]

Its a fun thing to goof around with. don't take anything to heart. i find myself saying this alot at work:
"it's just design. not war."

Thanks BP!
I figure, this sucker would be a pretty awesome sticker. A great T-shirt. A really easy engrave on a plate bracket. An awesome PATCH (i'm excited about patches... i don't know why...), and pretty much anything else we can think of!

Obviously, in the online version and probably on shirts and stuff, some qualifier text would be needed so people know wtf DMF stands for. But i didn't want to clutter up the idea with that junk just yet  ;D

how about the wing, with this lettering, or similar

You know herm, when i was doing this one, i thought to myself... "the giugaro double line font would really kind of draw this logo across all generations of ducs..."

Problem is, i don't have the font. Do you? Or does ANYONE?
The fonts from the old link on TOB were pfm and pfb files (windows post script fonts...) and I am on a mac. If anyone can supply me with the twin-line 80's giugaro/italdesign ducati font, i'd be MORE than greatful.

As soon as i get the font, i'll whip up the logo.

Hopefully the mods get on and see this one soon before my image hosting goes bunk again... ;D
If they'd like, i'd be more than willing to whip up a sample banner for the top of the boards with this bad boy.
Also, just throwing this out there. I have substantial connections in the printing industry around my town, my father owns a rather successful bindery. I can probably help out with our printing needs, if any.

i like corey's as well. not sure if it's my favorite for the forum, but it's very good (i'd buy a t-shirt with that logo).

just to scratch an itch, i inverted the colors. obviously the dot should be reverted to red, but it was worth posting, i thought. it works easier as my screen saver anyway.  :D

the font that is out there on the web is called DuoLine...
you can just google it, but it is nowhere near the right font to match the original Ducati 80s font.

I had to fudge my own. Luckily, DMF is only three letters  ;D

Before we start judging, give me a chance to do a web mockup so we can see what it will look like on the forums, and a t-shirt or something.  [thumbsup]

I like the clutch plate logo, so I put this together real quick (it's a vector graphic I built in Freehand):
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j201/wulfshrunting/DucatiMonsterForumLogo.gif)

It doesn't look to hot with the gray background.  I like simple logos and designs, which would work for etching and painting and vinyl; so, I think it should be something similar to what's up right now.
Title: Re: So who wants bragging rights?
Post by: RodeoClown on May 13, 2008, 05:09:34 PM
Some awesome ideas. Some people have touched on it earlier. Ideally the logo should work in B&W first then we can add color. Some of these look great but will translate not as nice when they go to vinyl or a two-color screen on a t-shirt? Just some thoughts. I hope to get some ideas submitted but have to find some time. So fat I like DMF with the 80's script...I think Herms designs.

I can take care of it .  The jury will be myself, misincredible, and Mother.  Then I will post a new poll/thread.


I will give all prospective owner's of said bragging rights until 12am EST on May 18 to post your proposed logo.


The jury will dilberate for 24 hours and the top 4 choices will be posted in a poll.  

From Mitt earlier:

Keep in mind:

* It needs to be scalable.  It should look look 1 inch tall on the forum, and it should look good 1 foot tall on banner. 

* It can be 2 parts - a larger logo with the name and text, and a smaller icon logo like the dml meatball.

* It should be able to be transfered into a CAD program for cutting into metal parts (so things with super fine detail like the wire frame monster would be a problem).

* Not too many colors - that drives up price for printing

I will post a logo standards file for my logo tomorrow with a B/W version, a Two color, a version for on black, and anything else i can think of.
All of my logos are EPS files. Work in CAD, and are accepted worldwide by any commercial printer. All are built in Adobe Illustrator CS3 (mac)

I'm still very partial to the Corey designs.  Simple, attractive, scalable.  My vote is, as yet, unchanged.

Post by: m1moto on May 13, 2008, 10:25:02 PM
I have been chasing some deadlines so I have not been checking back here.

Corey I like the wing logo,  I think it will work nice on a shirt, how about a lower case "d" instead.

Here's a few more,  I did not do the shirts and stickers as I did with the others just need a few more hours in a day.  I also did not use the coffee bean/circle-D logo in any of my designs, I personally don't like it and I speculate it will be axed by Ducati in the future.

Stellar designs.  Clean and well laid out.  Good representation of both the Forum and the Ducati brand.

In an ideal world, I vote for option 1 with an integration of the italian colors from option 2.  If that is not possible, then option 1 for sure. 

I would definitely buy anything/everything with those logos.  Kickstand puck maybe?!

Heh, I'd hardly say "disastrous"...

Sure if we were Apple or Enron we'd be insisting on complete compliance with our corporate style guide, but our dislike of corporateness is largely why we're here... What you've done there Corey is _uber_ professional - it's _great_, and I'd expect to see a several thousand dollar invoice for it in a commercial setting.

We're just a bunch of bikers who hang out on a web forum though, I'd be perfectly happy to have people handing out hand drawn business cards colored in with crayon if that's what they wanted to do... There's a lot about this place that "just happened" rather than came about as part of a carefully considered branding plan - did you know we (well, Statler) actually own the domain name ducatimonsterforum.org (and .com)? We only ended up starting out on ducatimonsterworldwide.org 'cause that's the one ducpainter had at his disposal when he went and paid for a hosting account.

What I'm saying, I guess, is don't worry too much about consistent branding, and _certainly_ don't worry about the flounders getting upset 'cause you publicised this place using your own images or logos. When we've got something that you lot have agreed and voted on, we'll try and make it available in every useful form so you can just as easily print cards up on your own inkjet as you can sending the image to cafepress or spreadshirt to get your own versions of our tshirts made up.

cheers,

I can take care of it .  The jury will be myself, misincredible, and Mother.  Then I will post a new poll/thread.


I will give all prospective owner's of said bragging rights until 12am EST on May 18 11:59 PM Hawaiian Time on May 20 to post your proposed logo.


The jury will dilberate for 24 hours and the top 4 choices will be posted in a poll. 

From Mitt earlier:

Keep in mind:

* It needs to be scalable.  It should look look 1 inch tall on the forum, and it should look good 1 foot tall on banner. 

* It can be 2 parts - a larger logo with the name and text, and a smaller icon logo like the dml meatball.

* It should be able to be transfered into a CAD program for cutting into metal parts (so things with super fine detail like the wire frame monster would be a problem).

* Not too many colors - that drives up price for printing

Heads up guys...

We (the web geek team and the flounders) are discussing the possibility of switching domains from

www.ducatimonsterworldwide.org to www.ducatimonsterforums.org

it seems to me everyone's already decided to call this place the "DMF", and since one of us (Statler) owns ducatimonsterforums.org it seems much more appropriate, so if we can work out a way to switch everything we've got so far to the new domain we'll probably do it.

I'm pretty sure this wont affect any of your great efforts at logo design, but you might want to discuss amongst yourselves if this change warrants pushing the deadline out, or whether you'd like to stick with the original deadline and judge entries as they are wit the understanding that we might ask the winner to change the url afterwards.

I'll edit the thread title and first post to point people towards this message.

can you keep this domain and use it as a redirect url?  It's also my understanding that the Flounders got a bunch of domain names, might not be a bad idea to use those as redirects as well...

just my thoughts and I am an idiot, so take that into consideration  ;D

There would be very minimal traffic on those sites, they are already paying/paid for them.  I'm not sure how the whole thing works though, I just *live* in Silicone valley, I don't actually work in that industry!  Regurgitated knowledge spewing here, be warned! [puke]

Re-directs will work fine and the only cost is for the domain name.

FYI silicon valley is the high tech arena in the bay area.  Silicone valley is an area of LA where all the boobies come from.

Yeah, we could, and if moving looks like being more trouble than it's worth then we'll probably do that.

It seems though, that since everybody is talking about this place as "The DMF" already, it's probably better to be "The DMF" at ducatimonsterforums.org than "The DMF" at ducatimonsterworldwide.org

Heads up guys...

We (the web geek team and the flounders) are discussing the possibility of switching domains from

www.ducatimonsterworldwide.org to www.ducatimonsterforums.org


YAY.  DMWW.org is okay but too long and awkward and lacks a sort of appealing resonance.  www.DMww.org is also kinda redundant.   ;)
DMF.org seems to be the saying just what it stands for, an accurate description and much more intuitive.

I'm pretty sure this wont affect any of your great efforts at logo design, but you might want to discuss amongst yourselves if this change warrants pushing the deadline out, or whether you'd like to stick with the original deadline and judge entries as they are wit the understanding that we might ask the winner to change the url afterwards.

I want to make something, maybe if I get a break I will try to whip up a few concepts...

What will the final pixel dimensions be? Will the board colors still be the same as current???

If you can PM me some specifics to start I can come up with something...

Maybe this has been discussed already, but does it matter that TOB is also calling itself

Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

and using meta tags containing "ducati monster forum" to bump itself to first result when googled, whereas DMWw is currently sixth?  Will that affect what we call this place?  I mean, whatever we change the name to might be manipulated to TOB's advantage again, so what's the point in running; ...just OWN it? (or PWN it)  That sort of thing?

I think DMF (ducatimonsterforum.org) is better.

It has a nice ring to it.
It is catchy.
Everyone is already calling themselves DMFers [evil]
Most of the designs are using DMF.

And last but not list when someone is searching for a "ducati monster forum", it makes it a fairly safe bet their going to click on us. ;)

I'll leave that to others.  Here's why:
  a) I like my own logo  ;D 
  b) I don't think it's a good idea to play with trademark infringement. 

I think the board should use a logo that instantly says "Monster" (hello? trellis frame?) without relying on Ducati logos.  I also think it should be all-inclusive, which is why I'm on the fence about the clutch plate.  Some of us have wet-clutches, so that doesn't mean much to us...

Keep in mind that these are my original entries, and of course are able to be adjusted per the chosen domain name down the line, colors, etc...

i prefer the new name, but it will block a lot of people who sit behind work filters.

many employers block forums and use software that searches for "forum" etc in the URL.  my old employer did, and it was a pain.

keep both names, it should be easy enough.  the smf software doesn't care what the root domain is.

why only you 3? and why only the top entries? and by top entries, do you mean the most popular according to everyone's comments or you 3? just wondering, not trying to start anything. i just really liked them ALL and am really curious on what the top entries are by all the DMF'ers vote.  [moto]

DesmoDiva and I volunteered, ducpainter nominated Mother.

We are trying to reduce the choices to keep the poll simpler.  Otherwise you will have 25-odd choices and it will be harder to tell what the clear winner is.  It was all discussed earlier in this thread, read through it for more info.

So did you collaborate with Cyrus on this one, or should we expect a DMCA takedown notice as soon as it wins the poll?

I am no collaborator! That is my work and I'm pretty proud of it.

If it wins the poll, I can't help it if people who are on this forum and ride Ducati's have fine taste.  [wine]

if i may make a suggestion, why not post all the submissions (i.e. on photobucket) and number each one and have everyone pick their top 3 favorites.

the "add a poll" option will allow any number of poll options and you can set the number of choices to 3.  try it, it works fine.

then take the top 3 vote getters for the entire lot and do it again.  that way it's all public and everyone can see the voting when it's done.

it's easy enough to set up a poll here to do that.  give each round a week of voting.

give the 3 finalists each a case of beer.  i'll kick in a 5er.

Sorry if that came across the wrong way, there's no bygones to be had from me, I'm happy Cyrus is here (and I welcomed him personally a while back)

I'm also happy to tease SuperTIB about "stealing"  the inimitable "artwerk by Cyrus" style :)

Seriously though.... I'm designing new team shirts for Tigerbike Rcing, and I'd like to get the DMF logo bit worked out. There's a ton that would work great, but I don't want to pick one, then have the "official" one be completely different.

As soon as I have some images ready I'll post 'em up for you kids to see. [thumbsup]

I came to this thread late in the game and didn't actually have time to read the whole thing so I'm not really sure what's going on with this or what's been decided for a logo but I'd be interested in helping out if there is still need or interest in a new logo. If you want to see some of my work you can download a portfolio of my logos designs here. http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=3E5FD9C607A8167C It's a small collections of some stuff I've done for some other companies. So anyway, whoever is in charge of this thing can get ahold of me if you are interested in working together on designing a logo for the board. I'd do it free of charge, (or maybe for some free t-shirts or something) I would just rather deal directly with whoever is in charge and not with the whole community. Nothing against everyone here, but my experience has been that designs that are subject to a large groups of peoples opinions usually suffer.

For what it's worth I think the ones corey did are the best option so far.

What can I say?

I am touched that some of you like my art.

You could say that it is reminiscent of the great works of European artists i.e Dali, Picasso, Michelangelo. ;)

I don't like to blow my own trumpet though, it's hard to be humble when you're as good as I am.

I submitted a vote for one of the five.

they are all quite good, but one of them has more lens flare than i normally prefer.

I meant your submission of a logo...

not a vote for one.

It's easy to criticize.

Personally I liked SuperTIBs' entry.

It truly captures my sentiments on the importance of all things web related.

The one chosen deserves a better reception IMO.

No biggie.

how about now that the logo has been decided (and its a great one!) one of the flounders lock this thread, and the poll, and archive them somewhere. [thumbsup]

or, as an alternative, they can be left where they are as a source of amusement (or bickering) every time someone replies without reading the back story first :P

That's not lens flare, it's reflectivity.

I don't see any lens flare.   :D

The new logo flare is competing with the flare of my amusing yet insightful posts here on the DMF, especially the NMC board.

I am a middle child so I don't like competition or anything that takes away attention from me.   [coffee]



I reject your reality and substitute my own  ;D
