SWEET!
You know, I was thinking the same thing with the [TEAM]69er™ ;D. I like the logo, it should look good, even at a small scale.
I LIKE IT! I give it a triple X!

I love it. It's not as busy as the last one, and the 69 in the yin yang is well balanced. I like the slogan on top too...makes it very Army-like.

Different Slogan? Bigger words? Color? Just toss some ideas around...If I can do it, I'll try to make an example of your idea..and post them up, then we can take the best of each idea and go final...I feel as though the logo needs some sort of final touch, just cant put my finger on it.

Monkey I like the idea of a team slogan, but we are not trying to sell anything. We have to come up with a saying or moto(I think that is how you spell moto. Was never a good speller) you know something that is the essance of the *69* clan. Something that symbolizes who and what we are. LZ had a good background picture lava & the water(yin & yang or symbolizes hawaii, which is where the clan originated). The slogan could be in hawaiian. Something a lot more manly. I am getting tired of seeing players ask if we are a bunch of Gay homosexual men who love the '69' position. . So someone get out that Hawaiian dictionary. What is "clan" in hawiian? What about a yin & yang with BF pictures in it like LZ did, but the background is a hawaiian warrior with one of those fearsome looking helmets. On the bottom is the 69 clan warrior clan in hawiian. Just a thought.

Ironically, we had this discussion at work a few days ago and "team" or "clan" would be "Hui" in hawaiian. It sounds good, but would likely mean nothing to anyone outside of Hawaii. If we were trying to be a strictly Hawaii based team, I wouldnt mind the warrior and hawaiian words. But, since we're expanding, I think it would be best to keep it a bit more generic. Showing a half-naked masked buff man might not help alleviate the homosexual inquiries! ;D what we really need is a simple logo that can be recognizable at a really small size (like 1" x 1" ). Like the logos of most companies, agencies and organizations. Of course, im not trying to discourage our closet graphic artists from composing large-scale 69er masterpieces. I just think the logo should be a separate thing. You know, something that you can stick in the corner of a masterpiece. As far as the moto or motto goes (not sure which is correct ), I agree with Mid. We might have to do some soul-searching to find the essence of the team. Guess we gotta have another team meeting!!! ;D

Being to generic will make us just another team in the vast majority of "clans" out there. True there are members who are not from hawaii, but hawaii is the melting pot of the world. There are a lot of diverse cultures here, Hawaiian, Polonesian, asian, Latino, Philipino.....etc. Hawaii is one of the most well known spots in the world. When someone sees a team that has hawaii influence or originated from there people will not only be amazed at the teams skills but be thinking "COOL" . There have been quite a few people who think that a hawaii based server and team is really something unique and I think that we should go with that.

Let me clarify, I have nothing against using hawaiian images and words in any graphic works people want to put together. In fact, a poster would be sweet! I just think the logo should be just that. . . a logo. We have already agreed that the ying-yang is a good idea and I think Monkey used it in a great way. To be more detailed, it would be used for things like competitions where our logo is used instead of our name. Think of it this way, how much detail can you fit on a postage stamp at 72dpi (typical web resolution)? That's what we need in a logo.

Personally, I am not familiar with Hawaiian culture, but like you said Midnight, Hawaii is a multitude of ethnicities, as represented in our clan..(we are an equal opportunity organization). So to me, to focus on anything Hawaiian specific (warrior helmets ect) would not be representative of our clan. Not to mention our out of state brethren. Now symbols of our great home state such as a Hibiscus, photo of an Aloha Tower sunset, 20 foot wave, thong bikini clad chick on Sunset Beach ect ect are great things that we all can relate too, and therefore add that Hawaii nostalgia you spoke of. And as the roots of our great clan stem from this God graced state, than I agree with your earlier statements in part. However, I also agree with XL that a logo should be loud, small and as Sheep said, "not too busy". I plan on doing some great new 69er graphics for poster art ect, in fact I have one almost complete with some brushed metal effects. What we need is a webmaster that knows how to run a webpage, and the rest of us photoshop nuts can design graphics for it. Anyone?? Webhosting space is cheap, and I think it brings alot of credit to the [TEAM] as a whole....this is the kind of diatribe we need...keep it up!

Cool Logo Monkey. I havent been in the forums lately, so I missed it. I like it. the 6 and 9 might need to be adjusted though. I adjusted the one I posted earlier. Maybe we can combine ideas. Matts right about the keeping it simple thing though. Let me know what you think. LZ

Someone get me a logo (either pre-sized in PS min dpi at size is 150, 300 is better, 600 even better!, or a vector based image. ie Illustrator) and i can create a banner for y'all. btw, i got bored at work (big suprise) and here are some logos that are on the web. www.star-69.co.uk/69gallery.phpwww.csr69.com/p.s. anyone seen the font titled "group sex"? might fit in well in this logo
