Members BeeTL Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well, a buddy was going to help me with this, but so far...nothing. I did this in Word, fonts are Bradley Hand ITC (54pt) and Century Gothic (12pt). It fits on a Tele and Tele Bass headstock nicely. The only think I wish is that the "Lowe" was thicker (that's what SHE said) in order to accommodate gold or silver fill. What do you think?

Moderators Kindness Posted January 29, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not moved one way or the other. I almost want your logo to include a design, but I recognize that color coordination would be impossible due to the custom painting and that variation in the color scheme of the logo would likely weaken its impact.

Members Incubitabus Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 I agree that it needs to be thicker. Also, I don't like the big separation between "Custom" and "guitars". It gives the impression that there is a big space btween the O and the W in "Lowe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members collinwho Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 I like the Century Gothic, not a fan of the script. I think it should either look more calligraphic or more handwritten. Right now it is sitting in an uncomfortable middle ground, where it doesn't look like truly handwritten letter, but it also doesn't look like a real script font either.

Members HackedByChinese! Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 No. It looks horribly generic. Your graphic logo has about 1000000x more personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Kindness Posted January 30, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2009 This was the graphic logo I came up with, and I'm kind of feeling "meh" about it right now... You can be meh about it. If so, don't use it. What you posted up top is much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I much prefer the "graphic" design-it fits the vibe of what you're doing much better, and looks like nothing else on the market. The top one betrays its roots instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeeTL Posted January 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 OK...OK!!! Back to square one. I've actually considered signing the headstock with the graphic logo above. It just felt a bit pretentious somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guttermouth Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 i dig the graphic logo alot man.if you're gonna put all that work and personality into the guitar you might as well do the headstock logo while you're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titovanburen Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I don't like that funky logo... it looks like it reads "AWE" most of the best custom guitar companies have simple logo's anyways... it doesn't have to be all fancy ...perhaps a big "L" with "owe" written on the bottom part of the L?

Members titovanburen Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 or just disconnect the top of the L from the W... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 A boxy logo like that won't look very good on the soft curves of a tele headstock. It'll just look distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
