I'm thinking we should get a cool logo and tagline, and then get a product line going on cafepress.com!   ;D

Dude, you are reading my mind!  I was just thinking about that when I was taking a...well, I was just thinking about that.  I'm willing to offer $100 to anyone that can come up with a cool logo and another $100 to anyone that thinks of a great slogan to go with the logo.

Submit your entries and we'll let everyone vote here. 

Rules:

The entry has to be original.  It cannot be taken from someone else's work (that could end up in a lawsuit later...don't want that!).

You will have to agree to give me full control of the logo and slogan to use.

That would have been pretty good!

Here's a few:

"Got Bald!" - I know... used and abused

"Join the Bald Revolution"

"Dude... where's my hair?" - cheesy too!

"Let loose your inner Baldness"

"High speed, low drag - slybaldguys.com"

We have a logo!  Let me know what you think.  Would you wear a shirt or hat with this logo on it?

Special thanks to Robert for designing this logo!!!

It's supposed to be like he's raising an eyebrow.

Do you like it better with two eyebrows?

Title: Re: Hmmmm....
Post by: Tyler on November 10, 2006, 06:51:42 PM
There's also the option of the brows being lower or having none at all...which do you guys like best?
Title: Re: Hmmmm....
Post by: BaldRob on November 11, 2006, 08:28:37 AM
I like the first one with the raised eyebrow... maybe throw a second brow in there at a lower level?

Great idea Rob!  What do you think of this?

I really like that too!  What does everyone else think...come on folks, you won't hurt my feelings.

Post by: Tyler on November 11, 2006, 03:08:36 PM
Hey guys, let me know what you think of the design.  Also, let me know the size of shirts that all of you wear so when I get some made up I know that I have the size that you want.
Title: Re: Hmmmm....
Post by: BaldRob on November 11, 2006, 04:06:36 PM
XL for me!
Title: Re: Hmmmm....
Post by: PigPen on November 11, 2006, 07:16:10 PM
That's what I'm talkin about!!! I like the last one too. With two eyebrows and the one raised. Sssssssssllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I'll take an XL also
Title: Re: Hmmmm....
Post by: Tyler on November 11, 2006, 07:19:32 PM
Sweet!

From what I've read, most guys here will fit in the XL and L sizes, so I'm going to get a bunch of XL and L made up.  Do any of you wear something other than those?

  :) Ahoy, Tyler. RE the proposed logo, I like the version with no eyebrows at all. That emphasizes the magnificence and self-proclamation of the dome. Actually, the eyebrows are there, hidden by the sunglasses. A view over the head, gleaming, with the profile facing right, would be most dramatic. Such an image appears on some Headblade packaging, so it would have to be original. Will think about the motto. Professor Melon

Hey Tyler,   i like all the variations of the logo.  I wear XL, and can't wait to get one.
Very cool, Buddy

After discussing it with one of my friends here at work, she made two comments. First, of the logos Tyler posted here, she likes the one without eyebrows, another suggestion she had was to use the graphic Tyler posts on the MySpace invites/thank yous. Just some more input for ya

Thanks PigPen!  The invites I use on Myspace are stock images that I found on the internet and have a limited license to use.  If I decide to use them for shirts and such I have to pay $300 or more per image.  So, that's why I decided to have one created that was tailored to Sly Bald Guys.

I guess the question now is, brows or no brows?

No brows will make it much more simple when applying to shirts, hats, etc.  But, I'm not sure if it's too simple.  What does everyone think?

I like having one brow up...

Two brows up = Surprised Bald Guys
No Brows = "OMG... Did the bald guy shave his eyebrows off too" Bald Guys
One Brow Up = Sly Bald Guys

One up gives more of a sly attitude and look, in my humble opinion...

I like the original, the other 'brow is behind the sunglasses.

i like no brows. but if we must have them, i like one up and one a little lower. (only cause i give people that smart-ass look all the time.) oh yeah, XXL for me. i know, gotta be the oddball.
Title: Re: Hmmmm....
Post by: Tyler on November 24, 2006, 10:57:37 AM
I went with no brows.  Also, I've ordered shirts from Medium to XXXL, so I should have everyone's size  ;D

Yeah, there's going to be a different store for SBG Gear.  I'm putting together the store right now and it should be up in about a week.
