Choosing Logo For A Forum

by in Web Design

A few days ago I launched a new discussion forum for anyone interested in films, movies and cinema…
I’d organised a logo from somewhere, but they hadn’t delivered…
Now I’ve got to choose between two logos and I can’t make up my mind.
I like them both!
Which of them is more suitable?
Option 1:
Forbairt Media version
Option 2:
Movie forums logo

    Michele,
    Both pretty good. Liking the forum too, must get around to registering…
    ps: did you simpsonize yourself – go on, post the result!

    Glad you like the forum :)
    I haven’t simponised myself yet – I might do when I get a spare moment, though I may not share the results!

    I would go with #1 for the film image but overlay with the logo and sub-tag of #2. #2 easier to read, but #1 more powerful imagery.
    All IMHO only :)

    Number 2. Definitely. Number 1 has that reflective styling going on that’s in least years fashion bucket.

    Peter – ouch!
    I guess the reason I liked number 1 was because of the film ….

    I like the film strip in Number One but not the slanty writing cutting across it. Maybe 1 with the text elements of 2?

    No. 2, as said above though would look better with film from no. 1.

    Number 1 because of the more extended width, but re-arrange the strapline as per number 2: the diagonal strapline on number 1 is a little irritating.

  10. From Ken McGuire:

    I”m a goer for number 2, possibly with some element of the film strip (in #1) faded behind the type?

  12. From Universos Virtuais:

    I would do: Number one, with the lettering of number two. But both of them are very nice!
    Have a great weekend!

    Number 2 is better, however if number on didn’t have that green bar on it it would be back in the running again.

    It was something I mocked up very quickly … so not to be taken as a real logo … but I am quite happy with it …. it does leave the text too far right and I’m aware the text isn’t the clearest …
    The green bar is actually part of the forum so nothing to do wtih the logo .. but it gives it some context on the site
    I quite like Mark Websters 4th offering really loving the movie reel .. its stands out so much.

  15. From Gary Daly:

    Number 2 for me also. In number 1 the slanty text looks out of place, I like the idea of the film strip but again just doesnt look right.

    Isn’t the whole film-strip thing a bit antiquated, seeing as there’s a shift to DV?
    Just stick in some XWings and TIE fighters – that would be awesome!
