It'll be day 2 of the NCAA tourney before we get tired of Penn State Insurance commercials. Maybe they'll get Willie Mays Hayes to be their spokesman.

I like it.

[Chris B]

I do too. The white around the edges seems a bit big but other than that it's simple and clean.

Much better than the current one.

Shouldn't something about it hint at it being about soccer?  Or do we only see it when everybody already knows?

Google changed it's official logo. First major change since 1999.

From calligraphy to std penmanship...  to serif fonts... to sans-serif fonts... pretty soon, it's gonna be just drawing icons and stick figures...

Love the MD flag.

Im certainly no eye for creative design, but did you try a flat flag inside the house outline? Something about the flowing, curvature of the flag inside the straight lines of the house seemed a bit off. Again...im no critic, and I could be 100% wrong.

I think the basic concept is great.

I think it's too strong and bold to fill up all the space like it does... too overwhelming.

 

I'd give it some space, at least to one side... here's a 1st-draft example of one way to do that... all I did was add white space to the left of the house...imagine some border or other color around the expanded canvas... in your link it was surrounded by black,,, http://i19.photobuck...Robs-Logo-2.jpg

 

I'd stretch out your URL to fill up some of that space across the bottom... dunno if I'd stretch it all the way or just part way.

 

Add even more white space to the left and it could be your business card, with contact info printed on the left side (maybe turned 90 degrees along the left edge?)

 

I'd maybe use unofficial between-lettters space to make it easier for somebody to read what the URL says... you want them to remember "PROPERTIESBYRS.COM"... it will sink in better if their eyes read it as "Properties by RS.com"... not that they type spaces between the parts, but having them see it as a collection of parts will make it easier for them to grok... so maybe use very small spaces between the parts to make it easier on their brain without them thinking they're s'posed to type spaces there... spaces so small that you're not even sure they're there... maybe use both upper and lower cases, again only for the goal of making it easier to read and remember...

 

I'm just making this up, it's just my 2 cents...

I actually didn't make it. Had a graphic designer make it. So, I'm not sure if she tried different ways and felt that this was the best look aesthetically or not.

A flat flag might look something like this:

[SportsGuy]

Thanks Sammy. Interesting. Will have to decide which one I like better.

[McNulty]

The first one Sammy made is the winner.

[SportsGuy]

Yea I'm not sure. The wavy flag shows more of the flag itself and gives it almost a 3d look.

The one Sammy made is perhaps "cleaner" because of the lack of space at the bottom.
