Reet.

Im redesigning a logo for a golf tee company. Heres just one set of ideas. Been looking at these fuckers for too long and would like any advice/crit /anything?

Doesnt really shout 'golf' does it? bit NASA.

Cheers

If I was guessing the sport, it'd be frisbee.

How'd you come up with that shape?

Mr Fred · 17-05-2006, 07:15

its a golf swing you fool.

sheesh.

keef · 17-05-2006, 07:17

ha ha ha. i shouldnt be giggling so much.

Well its a 'B' and a 'swoosh' thing?? Not very 'golf' or 'tee' like. if i have to replace the letter 'i' with a golf tee i'll cry in desperation.

Stickman · 17-05-2006, 07:17

Oh. I don't play golf.

Too busy playing frisbee.

oli · 17-05-2006, 07:20

I thought it was the hole in the green

keef · 17-05-2006, 07:21

Why not make the "o" in bio the golf swing?

And I agree - no tees for i's.

Good luck!

Surely if the sites about golf tees, it makes sense to have a golf tee in the logo?

tornpaperbag · 19-05-2006, 16:00

Aye, but it is overdone. Beating a dead horse.

Tees in golf logos = not original

pgo · 19-05-2006, 16:13

Original schmoriginal.

If the company makes golf tees, then there should probably be a golf tee in the logo. As opposed to a oval/swing/hole thing.

Of course, this is a shitty two minute job with a "biodegrading" tee. Just an idea. The tee could be a modified "i" with serifs...

roto · 20-05-2006, 07:07

You really need a good 4 inch tee (or longer) to get the ball high enough off the ground to find the sweet spot of almost all new x-large driver club heads. With that in mind, PGO's might be a little "stubby". I see his point, but with the way tees fluctuate in length (and this is no joke) I don't think it's necessary to have a tee in the logo...especially with the name being "BIO GOLF TEE". The originals aren't all that bad -- don't bin them yet.

On a somewhat related note, I'm an avid golfer, and I just got these:

http://www.pinggolf.com/ (The G5s)

I tee off in an hour for my second round with them...

thetrew · 22-05-2006, 09:21

How about adding some slight indentations within the 'O' swing to give the impression of a golf ball?

Both?

Violet Mount · 24-07-2006, 18:04

You've got a few things to deal with there - 'The Original', the name and the strap. Adding the big 'B' just adds another element that's not needed.

Golf tees are a bit literal IMO, not to mention a boring object and shape. I like the swing idea, but you need to get just the right shape so that it doesn't look like any old swoosh.

There must be something more exciting than Helvetica Neue too?

keef · 25-07-2006, 06:06

Know what you mean about too many elements and have scrapped that 'B'... still working on it... Cheers

Real World Golf · 18-07-2008, 16:08

Old post I know but I thought golf tees were about 2 1/8" long!

sub · 19-07-2008, 12:42

Thanks for that. I'm sure Keef will find that bit of info really useful.

steveb · 19-07-2008, 14:23

Slightly longer than a golfer's dick, then.
