I like it well done.
But for the 50th anniversary its not universal unless you show all the Marcos models and i guess thats not possible. |

l can't quite see the 2 cars illustrated,but presumed the one on the 2009 side was the "latest recognised "Marcos and the 1959 the
"earliest"/
It would be a massive logo (more of a shield) if every marque was included. |

PS-- lou and Phil would it be a real hassle to remove the 2 cars totally and re-jig the design/balance?--This would ,make it more "universal" as Jon
pointed out.---fine tuning ?--would be good to see as an alternative. Always preferable to have a choice in a Democracy!!!

thanks for all your feedback.
We could go on and try a version with no marcos car illustrated on it - however, i wonder if that wouldn't turn out to "classic/standard" such ass any regular logo seen so far. We believe that this one is representing a stronger visual design and evolution of the Marcos car in the years. (bare in mind, that this one looks even better if shown larger). Having all models wouldn't work out - just too "busy" for a logo. That would look great on poster. We might design one for this august keeping in mind this logo - goes well together. I suggest that we re-design a version without the cars on it - will post it tomorrow. Once decided i will create also a two colored version (and a one colored) for uses such as embroiding, etc. Lou |

Definately with the cars but the word "British" should have a capital B.

and how about without the gold leaves, it makes it all a bit a mish mash of styles and colour

l still prefer the one with cars --gives non Marcos people a clue as to which marque is celebrating it's 50th.
Re "mish mash of styles and colours"--- l don't agree. With the exception of the gold garland,all the colours and lettering fonts reflect the Marcos badge.(plus gold is acknowledged as a "neutral colour--black white ,grey, silver etc. anyway) The gold garland represents success,celebration ,victory etc. -part of the brief and "lifts" the badge from the ordinary.. It's a one off badge for one year, if it was a replacement logo for the existing Marcos logo, then l would agree with removing the garland, the cars,and the dates. |

Seconded - You gotta have gold in a golden anniversary logo The capitals should definately be placed where necessary, the old car shape and the Mantis/LM shape
show the evolution of the design up to 'more present' day. The Mantis/LM IS a design that 10 years or more later is still up there beating the best of
them on the track
The gold also helps to lift the badge away from the background. I think just a few fine tweeks with small details it'll be finished Its a great design. Gazza

Great job chaps - & yes, the cars should stay! 'britsh' -> 'British' then let me have a copy & we can make it the Forum logo
(requires a transparent background I guess?).
Colours would look good screen printed onto both light & dark shirts too.

Great - thanks.
I will finish up the logo tonight ( little adjustments) and send it to you. I'll set up a small webpage where you may download the logo in different formats, resolution, transparent background, etc ... |

Love it! Lets get some stickers made up in lots of time before Prescott as i would happily have these on my doors all summer.
Neither of the cars shown are what I have but I beieve they represent the marque more recognisably than any other, the original coupe GT '3 litre - E-Type eater' and the LM/Mantoid which can be seen racing still. Great job Lou and Phil as usual 
PS I'm back. |
