Chroniq Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I really like the above design. My concern is that is looks generic. It almost looks like something I could make if I used a card design program. It's a great design, but something about it looks "templateish"..

gisco Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I like the card n7 did just not as much as I used to. Not sure if those colors will look as good on a card. I like the logo that rcrider did. Really stands out on the card. I like the card that jcrouse did in black but not my favorite logo. Looks like" CLUB TPR" to me. I like how he did the letters for club though. Just needs to be smaller in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n7 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 gisco - The colors will reproduce just fine, it's more a matter of personal opinion and taste. Jcrouse's design is my current favorite as well. I would agree that it does run the risk of being too generic looking...but I think that as long as we all have a platform of what TPR is looking for, we can shave down to something more distinguished and unique. One foreseeable problem is the use of gray for the text - If I remember correctly, ribbon printers can do opacity, but it's not at all recommended. With the white ribbon already being finicky, I wouldn't risk having it do 3 different levels of opacity. What you're going to end up with is cards that still have the ribbon attached because there wasn't enough heat on the print head to cleanly press and remove it - so you'll have your white ribbon getting caught on rollers...sucked up into the body of the printer...it's a mess when things go wrong. I'll keep tweaking my design - looks like we're moving into a more neutral pleasing color scheme. Time to retire the color blocks me thinks.

ShannonSomerville Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Whatever design will work for me....I,for one,am looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Been a few days, slacked off a little as I ran out of ideas...so I made just a few more changes but this may be my final answer. Enjoy and critique! Another design, going back to my roots but not really taking off anywhere. May be too busy and not any flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sorry for the lack of feedback. We will post more comments on Sunday. Until then, keep posting your ideas! N7 - did you see the comment about a version with a slightly bigger logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 One last layout tonight - this time in black I was loving this design, then I had a brainwave, why not try having the background of the TPR Logo end at the yellow stripe, so that you can see the Yellow stripe all across the card, but behind the colours of the logo (If you catch my drift) Also, I think it would look pretty good to have a hand drawn rollercoaster train on the yellow stripe facing towards the front almost at the left hand side, using the yellow stripe as track.

Homeboy23 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 ^ It does kind of look like the logo is not part of the card. Like it was just placed on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftsifter Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I know I didn't use your font, but If you like it, I'm willing to recreate all the TPR logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think your instincts are right on this one...the track element is too strong in the visual mix. Not a fan of that. I like this one much better, though I think you're struggling with the background element for the lower portion of the card. Try the really subtle dots like in Jcrouse's design. I think it might work. ---------- Not to get all Simon Cowell negative here, but this looks like it was made in five minutes. Awful font, bad spacing, flat and confusing.

vuurvogel Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 two new idea's the logo is not so good and should be replaced by one of the better ones like jcrouse's but i like the card style. first one may be to much coaster second one is simple and clear based on american express clear one fun one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLine Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Here's my try at a logo... pretty quickly done... but kind went with the "jester" theme that Gadzoox was based off of... Quick logo open to refinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 One last version (maybe) with more simplified dotted pattern in background, and a bit more subtle and less distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm still working on the card, but here's my logo for now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ok I'm not the best at this kind of thing... But I figured I would just show off my idea for a logo. The logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmereStars Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 OFFICIAL ENTRY Okay, I didnt have a lot of time to work on a logo and a card so this will be my official entry. I made an entirly different logo, but the card is still the same.. Its not that proffesional as some of the other logos and cards that have been post here so I probably wont win the poll, but thats okay. I do it for the fun and learn some new stuff with PS card Logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 ^ I would like that card more if family wasn't written where it currently is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think some people keep forgetting that, while roller coasters are a very important part of theme parks and this website, TPR is *NOT* a "Roller Coaster Site" and Club TPR is not a "Coaster Club." I really do not feel we will have a card that features a roller coaster as a main focal element of it. Yes, it may be included, but if you're drawn to that image over anything else, it's not going to win. Gumball, jcrouse and n7, looking more and more at printers, we may need a version where we print in black. Just FYI. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freekeee Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 In my opinion, which i admit counts for little, having a joined date on the card seems completely pointless, so pointless that its starting to annoy me! Its nice looking at them all though, some of them are really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCInsider Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 EDIT: Nevermind, don't think I can compete with these other logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 In my opinion, which i admit counts for little, having a joined date on the card seems completely pointless, so pointless that its starting to annoy me! If you look at any bank card they have a "valid from" date on them, so I think its a good thing to have personally. -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freekeee Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Only if membership doesn't start immediately, which i'm guessing it will. Not all bank cards have it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Personally I don't think a "Joined Date" is necessary either. The person checking the card just needs to know it is still valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
