New Year New Look

As some of you may know, I am a print designer. So today, using my time wisley at work, I have been playing around with some logos for us. I know we already have one, an no offense to whoever created it, but how about something new for 2006?

Comments? Suggestions? This is what I have so far and I am working on a couple more options to post later if I get some positive responses.

Have to agree with the newb. The top line is different from the current round logo and if you're going to change it, make it a big change IMHO

Another thought is that we have an S2K owner and may attract other owners, (Solstice, MR Spyder, Sky?) owners if we consider becoming the Metroplex Roadster Enthusiasts or if you want to keep it in the family, Metroplex Mazda Enthusiasts. Since Mazda dropped the "Miata" name we will technically be leaving out 2004-5 Mazdaspeed MX-5 and 2006+ MX-5 owners.

Just my ::2Cents::.

I like the middle and top it sort of looks like the old school mazda logo.

Well... I originally pitched a "come one, come all" idea for this site, but the Miata-centric thing has worked out pretty well so far. We are definitely active not only in NTS2k, but in a number of other local car groups, and plenty of non-Miata owners surf and lurk here for local racing info (just make some crack about chainsaws and Mod cars or say "such-n-such event sucked" and watch 'em all come out of the woodwork! :wink: ).

I guess what I'm saying is that while I'm all for a new logo (with mad props to Bean for the current one!), and non-Miata owners are certainly more than welcome here, if it ain't broke (the whole "concept" of this place), don't beat on it with a hammer... unless it's NMC! :mrgreen:

I actually came up with our current logo (at least the one on the window decals), but it's all good. :rolleyes: I do like jolberry's work, but why change now?

I am just ::StirTheP

I am not trying to change the whole concept of this site. I like that it is MIATA only...I was bored and thought MAYBE I could contribute somehow.
Don't want to hurt anyones feelings

I'd like some more... but I need to know what TC thinks about me putting those on the Spec since it's his board.

Well since it seems as if it will never leave the driveway he may allow it! ::Rimshot:

So how many of you punks would cough up a couple of $$$ for a MME sticker?? Like this one!

I would cough up $$$ for the middle ones of the new batch. :thumleft:

And just for the record: Mazdapeed Miatas are officially known as Miatas, even though the car isn't badged that way. I have the window sticker to prove it! ::Whisp::

Thanks... but the one I came up with was alot more layered and difficult to print on a TCB basis. Sammmy made the current one. You may have seen the one I made on the front of the MME Christmas card this year.

Seriously, I think the top two look like a stuttering "Me". If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Jol, I think you did a great job and I like the top line design best.
I think its simple but modern with a professional clean look.
I have often thought about this very thing, props to you for taking the time and effort, and also having the drive to try something new.

Hmm...seems like we have some mixed opinions here! I got a solution, make some of the original ones for the old farts::OldMan:: and some of the new ones for the young punks! :lol:

:lol: Actually the people in the blind tests, liked the new Coke better! But stupid people don't like change so the new Coke didn't do well on the market.

Sounds like the "stupid punks" should have bought more of the New Coke!::Fruity::

New Coke was a stroke of GENIUS on the part of the company... Bring out New Coke so you can reformulate the old Coke with Corn Syrup and reintroduce it as Coke Classic without the public going bonkers... ;)
