Anyone good at making logos?

[Luke]

Jeff and I are looking for a new logo for this site. We have both made a few attempts but haven't come up with anything we are happy with yet.

If any of you are good at making graphics send Jeff or I a PM.

Thanks,

I like it!!!!! I used a similar idea on our boat and water ski club's web site when we started it in 97.

Luke,
That's not working for me for some reason.......

What's not working?

The logo. But I'm no expert on making logos

I don't get it :?

The logo to me needs something flashy or it's missing something. I don't know, I've never made a logo for a company in my life. What about using a picture of a real Nautique boat in the logo instead of an all black boat? Maybe you could use the color selector on Nautiques web site and save the image, make it small, and then apply the planet nautique logo to that..........just throwing some ideas out there that's all.

Luke,
Are you guys set on a logo already?

[Luke]

Actually, we’re pretty set on the logo on the homepage. Logos that have too much detail are difficult to use on Tshirts, stickers, etc. The boat in the logo is an actual Nautique, just not an air series with a tower. M3fan spent quite a bit of time tweaking that one for us.

If you make one you like better, feel free to post it, we could always consider it for future shirts or something.

M3Fan,
Out of the top four that you posted I like the third one down from the top.

I don't see the reason behind putting an actual picture of a Nautique in the logo. It's not really a logo anymore then, it's a picture of a Nautique. Pluse us guys that don't have Air Nautiques aren't going to like that. I like the ones M3Fan designed, basic sillouhte (sp) of a CC. The handle is HUGE in the first one, but still cool. I prefer the bottom two with the fading black/gray. Anyone of them is cool though, good work on those.
