What is the Lowcountry?
 
I'm working on a motoring badge for the club and I want some input from you lot.

What symbolizes the Lowcountry or Charleston to you guys?

Difficulty: No Bridge (it's been done & I've got one already), No Rainbow Row



Aaaaaaand Go!

Where. On the underside of the bridge?

chadtoolio 05-21-2008 09:46 AM

I realize the geometry.....The bridge would have to be different...it's just that there are no MINI's on the badge.

Looks very nice.......but I personally think the new bridge and Charleston have been waaay over done together. Probably because of where I work I see it on alot of stuff(commerative coins,masthead,posters,shirts,etc. ad naseum) To me the "LowCountry" is more marshes, shrimp boats, cast netting from a dock; not just Charleston scenes because technically the LowCountry is all the way down past Beaufort.

Thank you. Finally someone with a bit of reading comprehension... :lol:

Lowcountry S is right. Marsh or Shrimping, maybe even a shrimp, crab or something along those lines. . bridge is nice but its so over used.
Palmetto tree fo' sure

How bout something like this

I can do a vector for you if you like. Thats my expertise. It would be something like above but not the same.

Blue is good for color, maybe red, not sure. I would keep it monotone though.

I guess all these ideas are what happens when you look at print all day

VmpyrDavid 05-28-2008 04:44 AM

Sorry no updates... I'm reworking an idea that I stoleded from another car-club.

The inner circle on the small one is transparent.

H.A.W.G. 05-30-2008 04:53 PM

Not to be too hard or anything. The font is too cartoony , other than that its great.

Im not trying to be mean or anything so I hope you dont take this criticism hard

LowCountry S 05-30-2008 05:33 PM

I like it alot!, but want to see it in another font also. Something a little less phat, not too much, but just enough for a little more definition would look very cool indeed I think. Love the transparent middle idea!!

minimarks 05-30-2008 07:27 PM

To me "Lowcountry" is best represented by what exist below the bridge not the bridge.....:nod:

Nope not at all. If I had issues I certainly would not post the graphics.

That's actually the look I was going for, but you're right. Something felt off while I was making it and I couldn't figure out what it was... I guess that's it. The PSD has atleast 5 different text versions.

Any favorite fonts? My favorites are all too scripty to use in this application.

The homeless?

minimarks 05-31-2008 05:18 AM

Water, wildlife, vegetation, boats sliding by, the smell, the brease, the sounds, the relaxation.......:thumbsup:

If you could capture someone on the bow of a boat throwing a cast net, I think that would look great.

Thought about something similar. The net will disappear when shrunk to 100px x 100px for signatures.

This probably doesnt help at all but i liked the first font more than this one. That one, while cartoony filled out the circle. It seems very empty with this lettering...

like i said, that probably doesnt help much :roll:

What about Zaphino font. Kinda scripty kinda not
