I didn't intend to imply that either picture might be better than the other - just giving an indication of the kind of thing that's easily obtainable with a simple Google search.

whatever is 'best' is surely a matter for the individual submitting their design to decide Wink

MaFt expressed an interest and I can't help feeling though that PGPSW staff may be deterred from putting their ideas forward. If PGPSW staff members would like to participate, perhaps their submissions could be judged separately by a panel of members - perhaps moderators or a group of selected members.

If it is decided that the winning member's design is not to be used for the PGPSW logo, it could cost a small fortune to have one designed commercially.

It would be a great shame if a staff member fails to submit a design which might be "the one" and since they wouldn't qualify for the £250, this would give them an opportunity to get artistic and hopefully have a little fun without questionning fairness in the main competition.

Perhaps this idea is a little hair-brained, but who knows?

Mowsey, thank you, the first serious submission.

Mostdom and DennisN, we created the off Topic Lounge, perhaps you should go and sit in it! Stop!

Hi Robert,

Having survived a number of corporate image, (Logo!) , changes when I was working, I found them to be mostly an expensive "waste of money".

I think that the current PocketGPSWorld.com logo is easily recognisable as a unique trademark, and that I, and many other site users associate it with value for money, reliability and honesty.

I suggest you put the proposed "prize money" to better use by buying the hard working staff of PocketGPSWorld a round of drinks or two at your annual Christmas Party.

Regards and thanks for all your hard work,

Robert Swanson

Very Happy

Ok. Here goes.
I know they don't look all that different but some have suggested that they like the original so I'm just trying to improve it a little. The main objective here is to introduce a small corparate logo that will fit snug on a cap, mug, sticker, etc. the main heading changes only a little. Even if you diddn't use this, the idea is sound and can be modified to suit the original heading. I didn't do the other icons and stuff as they are just small variations of the same theme.

The two options here are first the small change to the existing header with the logo, and the same again but simpler and updated.

These logos are the wrong size only for the forum and I will send the full size originals in due course.

header 1

cap logo 1

header 2

cap logo 2

It might be a good start if the PGPSW team made a decision on whether the actual design of the satellite is to remain or definitely being changed.

I cannot contribute to the designs as I’m not a graphic artist, but as an outsider, I feel the existing satellite design is outdated, it looks like the chitty, chitty, bang, bang car coming into land.

Could the more modern image work better, or go for a simplistic abstract version.
