Re: Vote for an ECF logo
I didn't vote because I was confused that there are two "proposal 2's" . Does the second proposal 2 tie in with option 3?
In any case I don't really care for the second logo!

Re: Vote for an ECF logo
The second one is rather naff but option one might be useable if the name or at least the ECF letters were included

Is it just me, or does option 1 look more like Lapras from Pokemon than a knight?

Re: Vote for an ECF logo
This is a brave way to choose a logo, but as you asked, I have voted. The two new suggestions don't really look like logos to me so I voted for existing one but I think it could be freshened up with new typography.

Another thing you British are no good at - designing logos!
See the London 2012 logo for more evidence!

Re: Vote for an ECF logo
I quite like the first one. I think, with some lettering beneath it and perhaps a slight change to the eye design to make it look a bit less sinister, it could work.

Re: Vote for an ECF logo
The letters ECF in the three largest square boxes, with the letter 'E' starting bottom left may work in option one

Re: Vote for an ECF logo
I keep meaning to send off my money to join the English Chess Fed.
I feel it's a bit cheeky of me to post here and not be a member.
This thread has kicked me into action - the cheque is in the post.
How much are WE being charged for these drawings in option's one and two.
I want to know. Also include how much it will cost to change all the letter
headed paper etc.etc. A logo change is not cheap.
It was this lot, 'Create Services' who designed the logos for the London Classic
and they also do Centrica. So we are not talking about a garage operation here.
These people are big ball players.
Their website:
http://www.createservices.co.uk/
So to know the actual cost involved would be intersting.
They claim there is not enough money in the kitty to keep the junior
magazine going yet they are willing toss my/our membership money away
on this nonsense.
There is nothing at all wrong with the current one. it is good.
You want a new logo?
Contact Disney and ask if you can use Mickey Mouse's head.
That won't be cheap either but it will sum up the thinking behind this idea.
(This post has cost me £20.00)
