can anyone suggest a different layout for this logo please?
A friend has asked me to design a logo, his brief…a viking helmet with text ‘The Viking’. Haven’t shown it to him yet but would appreciate comments before I do.
To be honest I’m a bit embarrassed about posting my work on here after seeing some of the stunning designs you folk produce but…. faint heart never won fair maiden and all that!

I think I’ve posted this in the wrong place..if so can someone move it please.
-
looks good paul nice font as well personally id move the viking helmt to the right to make use of the open space and so not to cover the V.
-
I like it a lot – the only thing I would change is to lose the straps on the helmet, they inerfere with the design a bit & wouldn’t be missed if they weren’t there.
Apart from that I think it looks spot on
-
Thanks Glenn and Steve I’ll move things around a bit and see how it looks. My only concern is the helmet was scanned and redrawn from a web site that sells replica Viking helmets..so may have to change it anyway.

Another version…not sure how I’m going to convert this to a one colour design for vinyl decals though..should tax the ole brain a bit.

Why does it have to be one colour

Thing is Paul, I have just bought a little tiny insywinsy craftrobo to cut vinyl decals for friends and family…(wouldn’t dream of trying to make a living out of something I know very little about) and this chap wants decals. Now, with my lack of knowledge (and vinyl) can only see this as a two colour design, second colour being the background showing through.
Hope I’m making sense! -
It will convert ok, but depends on how small the decals will be for weeding.

Does he need a lot of them

Not at this stage mate….he’s producing a moulded radio controlled glider called a Viking and wants to add his personal touch..but if it’s a success who knows.
-
Thanks Lynn,
It’s a question of knowing which bits to weed out to make it look nice..and I’m afraid they are fairly small. The Decals that is 😳Paul

Paul,
I would be more than pleased to show a customer a design as this, if he needs a quantity , get ’em printed I say !
I’m sure he will be delighted !
Cheers

Ah Martin…very nice gesture mate…I do hope you didn’t spend too much time doing this as I created the the artwork in CS so have the relevant files to mess with…but a great big thanks anyway.
Paul -
Martin….just opened the file… that’s spot on mate…save me disappearing up me own watsit!
Thanks

Paul,
No probs – was testing out the live trace on Illustrator CS2 so bit of practice. Didn’t take too long but most trouble trying to weld it (or rather the outer ring) – not too hot on that in illustrator.

I would have put the helmet (smaller) on the other side of the “the” to balance out the largish “V”….
Love….Jill -
Thanks Jill I’ll give that a go as well……It’s strange how the colours look completely different on here?!!

Here’s what I came up with, kinda feeble!
(I Googled for a helmet…was told by Dewi that Vikings don’t wear horns!)
Love….jill -
Had a bit of insomnia 😮
kind of went off into an entirely diff. direction sorry – can’t help myself sometimes 😉
figured I would post it all the sameNice one Jill!
-
Jill and Leigh,
You are both very talented ladies and very generous to give up your free time to help with designs, I appreciate it very much…nice selection to show now…thanks again.
Dewi’s absolutly right… Horns on Viking helmets were an invention of 19th century romantic artists..they look nice though.
