Hi all, just want to get some feedback on some logo concepts I've hashed together for a global geek event which is going to be hosted in Brighton later this year.

Brief was to keep a consistency with previous events while incorporating visual elements of Brighton.


Just to clarify the thinking behind the concepts:

Concept #1: I wanted to convey sea waves in an abstract form by using stylized grid lines in the hope to represent a theme of technology.

Concept #2: The initial idea was to very simply drop in the colours of rock - but probably lends itself to a rainbow (variety of people in the network?) or so the Pride flag. Why not cash in on the gay clichés of Brighton?

Concept #3: It's a seagull!

Concept #4: Just joeying around with a mascot/character concept.

All comments welcome.

my fav is #1, seems clean and the cyan gives off a camp vibe (maybe its just me), which i like

#2 not keen on the mix of that red and cyan

#3 didn't think that was a seagull. too hard to make out

#4 the mascot is rather anoying. like the colors tho

[wheedwacker]

the first two are good

the dove is interesting but doesnt fit with the background shape

[solix]

I like #1, but #2 the most. But I think the second one needs a better color scheme (the text)..

Thanks for the feedback so far.
I've horizontally flipped the seagull - do you think that help fit better with the shape?
Any suggestions for suitable colour combination for concept#2? Baring in mind limited to 3 colours - cyan, magenta and yellow.
Agree that the character isn't right. I haven't put this concept forward as a concept as the style doesn't fit the event at all.

I agree, 1 is good, on 2 the red text is wrong. Neutral grey as 1?

#2 because it's simple, not to hard on the eyes, and I dont like the rest, well mabey #1 but the detail in the flame I would just have as a solid color (the blue).

Numero Uno por favor. :p Nery nice.

Can't make a decent grey out of cmy - nearest I can get might be a tad warm.
Also, tidied up the lines in the flame shape.

Better?

[Jack000]

do they all have "consistency with previous events"? they seem rather different from eachother.

It's the flame element and typeface.

[hawken]

number 2 is certainly camp

[gray]

they should just make it a gay bar and go with #2. but more pink.

[keef]

Is that a cartoon dildo in 4? Anyway, number 1 for me.

Love them all really, ive got a couple of barcamp tees

[datahound]

bar in red, camp in orange with the rainbow logo??

[freelancr]

#1 is the best out of those 4, and the 5th one you posted has far too many colors.

#3 has good colours for the text, and the bird is a nice idea but changes the shape of the logo.

Dude, it's in Brighton. It probably is a gay bar.

I agree with most of the consensus. I'd for for 1. Number 2 makes me think "record label" or "clothing company". Number 3 certainly has a more Brightonian theme, but I think there's too much complexity. I don't really understand 4. What is it?
