    Default Design a Logo for XaRT

    Come One and Come All.

    Submit your Original Logo Design for Xara Registry Tool or XaRT in this thread. Once we have a bunch of designs we'll have a poll to narrow the choices. Then Grace as project lead or whoever she designates will pick the final winner.

    Entries made in this forum remain solely the copyright of the submitter. The winner of the competition will however have to agree to formally donate the logo to the project or offer some kind of perpetual use licence. Because this will be the project logo, and not a reusable object, we probably should not release the artwork under the the standard CC licence. Suggestions requested on how to handle this can be made in this thread.

    I never knew Bill Taylor and think he had passed before I began visiting this board.
    He must have been quite the gentleman to generate such activity in his honor. As such,
    I would like to submit my XaRT logo design.

    Thank you for contributing and kicking off the logo contest.

    I'm sorry you never knew Bill, he was a fine gentleman and you may run into him yet, many of his posts -his tips, his encouragements on these forums are still timely and valued.

    I thought I'd add this into this thread. I originally posted it in the artwork thread.

    Here are some logo ideas from me.

    If we want the horse symbol, then I've tried to incorporate that with some ideas.

    Thought I would take a shot at this logo. I think the logo should be somewhat bold, since we are talking about registry tool. Looking at some of the submissions using the horse as strong and bold, I complimented the horse idea with bold text message.Click image for larger version.

    Hi chasventre, welcome to TalkGraphics, and thanks for your thoughtful submission.

    It would be good if you went back to post #12 and read through some of the criteria for a good logo. You have good ideas: strong, yes, a tool that can edit the Registry without blowing up your computer is indeed a potent tool.

    But I'd ask you to take a look at some of the recent submissions, forget about the horse, and just think about how to graphically convey the name, or the tool's purpose, or both, with an economy of shapes. Look at the Apple logo, for example. It's pretty darned striking but beautifully simple and part of the beauty is its simplicity.

    We'll need something that works well in one color and different sizes.

    I'd love to see a post here that describes what they'd like to do in words, in text, no drawing.

    How would that be for a challenge? If you can describe an idea with words, how much harder is it then to draw it?

    I'm just suggesting an exercise here that will force you to think about the concept of the logo before drawing it.

    My Best,

    Gary
