eternal Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 We have been wondering about getting a new logo for this site. It may be nice to have some sort of photo/text/saying that would represent this site and also reflect both Gareth and his music. There have been some great photos posted this week and am sure there are more to come but are there any people out there who would love to have a go at suggesting, prompting or designing this logo. Any suggestions or thoughts could be put together? I am hopeless at anything to do with photos (both posting or merging) so any suggestions at all would be greatly received.

Snowdrop Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'm not very good at coming up with ideas for this sort of thing either, but I think it would be great to have something. It will need to incorporate the name of this site, and some kind of tag-line about what we do and what we are about, but nothing too fussy. Something nice and striking that might look good at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floz Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Maybe it shouldn't be a picture, but rather a signature and a strap line. We would have to get Gareth to sign something Gareth Paul Gates though. I wonder if we could do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 That would be great. I agree, there isn't any "need" for a photo. We can use photos along-side a logo, but I would see a logo as a nice visually appealing, easy to recognise, graphical way of writing GPG, garethpaulegates.net and some other bumph about us. The problem with photos is that they date quickly and it's hard to pick one that sums up everything we want to say without being too fussy. Perhaps we ought to be thinking of something that would replace the big GPG at the top of this page, to sit next to whichever picture we favoured at that time? By all means, if it's going to be helpful, create a logo to go with a specific photo if you think it works, or to use as an example, but it's not compulsory.

eternal Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I absolutely love this photo and feel that it advertises Gareth so well. Is there any way we could incorporate this photo into a large G somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I also love this pic. The passion in Gareth's face is amazing. Would be a good choice if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarethsHotChick Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 This probably sounds silly and wouldn't be possible, But what about if someone made the slip and we had a picture of Gareth holding it with the logo on so that it was official and that way Gareth could do a bit of modeling which he is BRILLIANT at. I'm not sure how that would work, You could maybe ask someone to send it to him and ask Kelly (His PA) if it is possible a photographer could take a pic of him holding the logo.

Snowdrop Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Wow, they are great. Do you think you can incorporate our url to it in some way and an explanation about what we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4RLJ Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've made it smaller, and added some text. Any good? Also done one with the photo, i prefer the plain one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPG MY IDOL Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thats BRILLIANT Rzachel, I really like that, I too prefer it without the picture, if you wanted a picture as part of the logo you could have a small round one next to the P under where it says fan site for Gareth Gates.

Val4Gareth Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I like your logo without the picture Rachel. And I also love your one Hazzy. That picture just does something to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The photos do add a certain something, but sadly we couldn't use any of the ones that are copyright to 19, such as the ones from the calendar. But fab to look at on here! I love seeing how people work the photos into the text, and it gives us some great ideas for the future and how we could use a logo, but I do think that a logo itself should be photo-free.

eternal Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 R4RLJ (think I have got that right) I love your ideas and your Hazzy. I think now I see the ideas with the photos I realise that the logo itself should give us all the information(still love that one particular photo though). If you do think of any more ideas please post them because I think this is an exercise that really could benefit the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 If anybody has any ideas but not sure how to go about making something, i'd be happy to try and help Is it at all possible(and have you the time) to show us a few more ideas so we can compare? Is it possible to incorporate some music notes(treble clefs etc) around the GPG as opposed to stars? Tis just an idea(not a very good one I know) but am pretty hopeless with advertising.

sweetpromise Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Three cheers to R4RLJ and Hazzy who have worked so hard and used their imaginations to create such inspiring and beautiful logos. Real talent here. I love them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpromise Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I think the only way to get around the copyright problem is to produce the loco as a drawing rather than as the actual photo. If someone has enough talent to draw Gareths lovely face than perhaps we can have our own copywright. However, unlike pictures, a photo free logo is timeless and in the long run may be much better. All good food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
