Poll on the best logo for new site - your opinion appreciated

[HomerJ]

Hey all,

Ive just played around and created some logos for a new site im working on.

I would really value your opinions on which is the best, if any. Please have a look at this page:

http://www.clickdark.com/kc-logos.html

and then cast your vote for which you think is best

1 -7

or

8 - I don't like any of them, I think you could do better

Thanks

P.S. - notice the numbers go with the image below the number (not with the one above it even though its closer to the number)

Charles Manson or someone from the MMA would be better than the shark if you are talking killer coupons

[HomerJ]

Thanks for your opinion. Actually I was also thinking of something with a little gangster with a tommy gun also

my thought was killer sharks though

#8-The best logos are usually easy to reproduce IMO

if you did go with gangster idea--->>> there is a bullet font (bullet holes in fonts)


of the logos you did post I liked #7


Goodluck

keep us posted

[HomerJ]

thanks for the feedback.

any others?

[Yusio]

I wouldn't really say any of them look professional, but if i had to make a choice, id say $5.

[HomerJ]

maybe i need to go back to the drawing board

Maybe 5 but have a dashed border around it like you would cut out a coupon http://www.self-store.com/images/Coupon.jpg - not necessarily with the scissors

I'm going to say back to the drawing board. You can do better. I would suggest a couple things. Go with a more stylish bolder font. Don't do any stacking or outlines on it. Consider a silhouette of the shark swimming and a bite out of the words. Perhaps a cartoon character shark would be fun, like Sharky from Hannah Barbera?. Search Google image search for "cartoon shark" to see what I mean. I don't like the gangster idea, because I don't like gangsters. I doubt your coupon clipping soccer moms would either.

The best way to determine if you have a good start on logo is to ask yourself, will this reproduce well in black and white? The best logos are really simple with nice, clean, typography and an easy to reproduce device (symbol).

If you are making a lot of logos then I might suggest picking up some books on the subject. Look for the titles "Logo Savvy" (<< a very good book on logos and branding), "Los Logos", "Dos Logos" "Tres Logos" and the "Logo Lounge" series (up to #4 in the series now) at Amazon.

Good luck.
