I like this logo the most:

Imagine without the black color background, fits well on white t-shirt.

A few points:

1. Make the ".com" of secondary importance. Tuck it under the DNForum in smaller print
2. Don't use gradients as they don't reproduce well on merchandise.
3. Use colors that could be used well if inverted e.g. black on white / white on black
4. Don't use script fonts or too thin fonts.
5. Use Adam's photo like GoDaddy does

I'm just being honest by saying they're all pretty ugly. Except for this one:

http://www.dnforum.com/images/newlog..._logo_v6v2.gif

That would look cool on a t-shirt.

i agree
.com is not necessary
gradients are not suitable for logos generally

Seriously, I'm no graphic artist but they all look pretty plain. Even my wife's extremely small dog training club has a graphic that they use on their merchandise.

I do not think they would sell well. I'm sure we've all seen the oval stickers with FL, UCLA, IRE on them? How about DNF (and a very small .com) on a hat? How about if some of the graphic artists here creat graphics for the forum? Maybe we could get some "snazzy" looking merchandise.

Like:

DNF.com
Well, make it look nicer (obviously).

Draggar ...

I'm referring to the GD logo, the dude with the glasses. Bob Parsons in his youth.

If anyone wants to produce one, I am open to that.

But it's time we had some dnforum merchandise to give away!

1) How about just the letters DNF? would look good on a hat.
2) I'm a big fan of the old colors. Could we possibly use them?

I like to go green, yet maintain a professional, refreshing, and simple look.

MM.. so far I liked Acroplex's designs & colors.

The original entries posted look plain & dull - pretty ordinary.
