I like it! I'm assuming .....and hoping that ALL chapters adopt the same logo, with individual chapter location in the scrollwork below.
 
I'd like to have a bit more time spent on the ribbon so you can see the curves in the bend. And we should have it a fixed width (maybe so the points of the ribbon are lined up with the end of the text) so that all that people with longer chapter names don't have issues getting their names to fit.

Otherwise, I like it.

Lou: Looks very good to me; but I am assuming the intent is to use the existing IAP logo with the blue color and shading and just add the banner with the chapter ID??

Good point, Greg!

I think Greg meant to say "length" and it certainly is something to think about. I'd like to see a sample made up both ways. My gut feeling is that a longer banner might overwhelm the emblem. Maybe the word "chapter" could be omitted and just the region be used??

logo

I'm in the screen printing business and wanted to make our chapter some polo shirts for our meetings. I was unable to copy the IAP logo from our site as it is way to small and it's a jpg.
I need vector art work for my process. The logo was redrawn in corel draw. What you see is all that is needed for screen printing. You could put any color ink on the garmet you like. The graduated screen beginning at the bottom of our the logo was left out because I'm not good enought to reproduce it. It also makes it much more difficult to print in a small size.
I sent it in to Lou for approval and he liked the idea. That's how it got this far.
I have no idea how the rest of you guys want to use the logo. I'm not opposed to you making any changes you like. I'm lead to believe that we need to keep it uniform. I told Lou that if needed I could add the chapter names when requested by the folks who didn't know how.
So far I've only had one response from the NE Florida Chapter, so the whole thing may have been a waste of time. If you have any questions, please let me know. dennis

Dennis,

Don't despair so quickly!!!

Jeff likes it (see above) and really that's all that matters. (I like it, too tho')

So far, there is no big rush for "stuff". I have a few designs for a "membership card" which will, of necessity I think, utilize the local logo, but so far, no meetings, no need for cards. Things WILL develop and I am sure Lou has a plan for releasing all the " support materials" as meetings start to happen and the clamor loudens.

Thanks for taking the time. I will be sending you an e-mail, hoping to get a .cdr file.

Thanks
 
While I like the logo (sort of). I would like to see a PEN incorporated in the "world". Have not given it much thought until you asked but the graphics can be done with a little more ooooooomph. May come up with something with a little more time and thought.
 
I dig it. If Jeff has hi-res .eps versions of the original logo I might be able to work with it, and possibly convert it an embroidery file as well. Still learning the digitizing program so no guarantees on it.
 
Basically I like it. It would be interesting to see the local chapter name in a straight bar as opposed to the curve of the emblem (just for comparison sakes). I like the whole idea of a local version of the logo so I voted for it!

edit for another idea: Picking up on the idea of a pen being incorporated into the logo design could the "I" of IAP be a pen and still look like IAP? Just thinkin out loud!

For what it's worth, I am not trying to re-design the IAP logo. I'm just interested in having the local chapter look be standardized. I have hi-res .jpg, .eps and .gif files if anyone want to try their hand at this. Contact me through the forum email.

Dennis I must have missed your first post. My apologies. I think the logo looks great! Definitly not a waste of your time. It would be very cool to have that on some shirts.
 
How about incorporating a fountain pen nib? The international aspect is symbolized by the globe, but there isn't much about the design that pertains to pens.

Once we arrive at a design, I'll get a patch made to put on my motorcycle jacket.... Pull up to some HAs sportin that.... with my little yellow suzuki.... Even I'm laughing at me.
 
I would think that 'International' should be the same size font as the lettering on the bottom....'Association of Pennturners'. It looks larger and 'Bold'. Other than that.........I think it's pretty cool!

If the bottom text was as large as the top, it would wrap all around the globe... not a pretty sight.:frown:
 
Dennis, that's really a great looking logo! And I understand the reason line 2 has smaller print than line 1 and larger thatn "line 3."

Once it's put on a shirt, will the logo be "pocket size" or "across the shirt" size?

IMHO - Either way, the chapter name will "read" just fine even adjusted into whatever chapter name it is.

Cathy Sue, I just spotted your message. I printed our chapter as few golf shirts with pockets. The logo was printed above the pocket. The logo can be made any size you need. I thougth we needed a pocket to carry our pens and that's the reason I never considered a large design. The logo is readable in the size I used. hth, dennis
