Last Call for RBR Logo Submissions

In the middle of September, we had an open call for reader submissions for the next RBR logo. At the time things were open ended, but we're trying to expedite this process as much as possible, so let this post be the last call for all RBR logo submissions. Officially, the deadline for the contest will be at 10:00 p.m. this Friday night (10/09), so there are basically five days left.

Of the previous thread, we received several quality submissions, including but not limited to the following:

Rbr-logo_medium

State_medium

3930004946_9ab8f389fb_medium

Rollbamaroll_medium

Test3_rev4_medium

It goes without saying that we thank everyone for their submissions thus far, and we hope to see even more in the next few days. If you have a design or a tweak that you would like to suggest, simply respond in the comments here.

As a general rule, anything you can think of is fair game. We're not necessarily beholden to one particular design over another, and we're open for anything. For the most part, there are only two hard-fast rules in this contest. One, your submission does need to at least somewhat prominently showcase either "Roll'BamaRoll" or "RBR." Remember, whichever design we choose must ultimately be approved by corporate, and SB Nation may be a bit hesitant to approve something that downplays the name of the blog itself. The second rule is one regarding intellectual property. Lawsuits ain't no fun, folks, plain and simple, so your submission should not have any copyrighted images, logos, trademarks, etc., and you need to make sure you own the rights to whatever your are submitting (i.e. it's either your own work product or you attained the rights from someone else).

Once the deadline passes, what we plan to do is this: We're going to take a group vote, and the submission with the most votes becomes the new logo at RBR. Now, we want you readers to get a voice in this too, so on next Monday we are going to start a poll here at RBR consisting of the best submissions. The winner of the RBR reader poll will then receive one vote in the group vote. In the group vote, each author of RBR will receive one vote -- myself, Todd, Nico, Kleph, and Pete -- and then one vote will go to the winner of the RBR reader poll. That creates a total of six votes, and the submission with the most votes will be the next logo at RBR. It's that simple. Hopefully in the next 10-12 days we will officially have a winner.

So, go ahead and post your final submissions and suggestions, and once again thanks for everyone's participation.

Steamroller

still gets my vote, although out of these choices I’d go with the first one. That one is very well done.

by Roll-Tyde on Oct 5, 2009 12:10 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

The steamroller suggests the blog doesn’t take itself too seriously (which is probably good for anything Alabama football related). If you have to change, the first one is better.

by wey on Oct 5, 2009 12:29 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

None of them are as good as

the steamroller. I can just picture it as an animated logo, running over kittens (e.g. tigers), puppies (e.g. bulldogs), and birds (e.g. gamecocks) of every shape and size.

With the logo change, will this diminish the amount of reporting that you do on tennis?

I like #1, but the RBR font has to change. It looks too bland and tacky to me as it is.

Without the font change on #1, I like #3 or #4.

I like #1

and I agree with the other comments. 1) change the RBR font to some more bold, 2) and switch est. 2006 for BLOG, 3) not sure what to make of the houndstooth. I am pretty much against houndstooth on t-shirts and baseball hats. Personally, I still like Bammer’s logo.

by I hate UT on Oct 5, 2009 1:14 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

this is my personal take on the houndstooth...

i despise it. hate it with an undiluted passion. but that has to do with reasons that are completely separate from my allegiance to the Crimson Tide.

that said, houndstooth is, without a doubt, part of the symbolism associated with Alabama and it has the benefit of not being subject to any copyright. thus integrating into a logo for us is kind of a no-brainer.

check-a-checka

I love the houndstooth—but as BR07 (and my dad) have noted, it somehow seems like a “girl’s thing”—which is so bizarre to me, considering its origin.

I LOVE THE FIRST LOGO. Just love it (with some tinkering).

by gerry dorsey on Oct 5, 2009 1:38 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Seems silly.

Roughly 105% of posts on this blog are about football. If that’s not enough to get some cred on the logo, I don’t know what is.

by BAMA.13 on Oct 5, 2009 1:54 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

They are all well done

But the first one is nice and classy. If the font for RBR/RollBamaRoll was changed a bit (script maybe?) and the resolution was higher, it would look phenomenal.

by Nico2.0 on Oct 5, 2009 2:33 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah maybe that's it

now that I look at it, the RBR is cool, but the words are spread out too much (between the letters). If you don’t like Script, maybe a more bold Font, or even the small caps option would look cool.

Frankly, Times New Roman would give it a newspapery feel and look pretty cool IMO, although that may be too bland for some.

Tinkering

I’m not happy with my entry (#4), so I’m going to try some other ideas.

Here’s a quick sketch of my first idea. It’s basically BDS with some vaulted pillars lifting up our more impressive tradition-related numbers.

Obviously, its just a sketch so fonts and detail work aren’t present, but is this idea worth finishing?

by NiceLittleSaturday on Oct 5, 2009 3:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

i would say no for two reasons.

1) much to much info for much too small a space
2) the focus on the stadium is at the expense of anything else we cover

because yes, football is the main thing we focus on but it isn’t the only thing. thus the inclusion of the football seems fine but only focusing on football does not.

by rhinoskin on Oct 5, 2009 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I like that...

… but we’ve got some serious copyright issues with this one, I’m afraid.

We might have some copyright issues regardless simply by depicting Bryant-Denny, but in particular it’s going to be an issue here because your logo is depicting the currently unfinished end of Bryant-Denny. In other words, the view of the new expansion on BDS is basically almost 100% based on depictions by other artists and engineering firms, who no doubt have gotten copyright to their sketches.

I like that one a pretty good bit, actually, but I’m not sure SB Nation would ever sign off on it.

Creating a new logo

reminds me of the South Park “list-making” making episode. That said, #1 (sans football, natch) and #4 are good. In some ways, I like #4 for the blog and #1 for the swag….you can’t go wrong with elephants. Ever.

Heres a suggestion

Sorry I dont have the computer savay to show a pic but what about a picture of a tidal wave in crimson color with elephants coming out of it or on top of it type of pic. Then have the roll bama roll on top or underneath the pic. I would fit nicely with the name and also tie into the history of the beganings of " The Crimson Tide" name that we were given years ago. Nothing wrong with alittle old school with alittle new technology.

Of the 5 shown ...
  1. gets my vote and i think the RBR font is fine … classy … as is being tossed around here. As for “Roll Bama Roll” I think the font is also fine but do think it should be a bit bolder to read better against the hounds-tooth pattern.

Too Plain

I think this is a little plain, especially if you are wanting a “logo” and not just a header for the site, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to incorporate something graphic into a logo like this one. Personally, I think the text needs to be bolder and more prominent than it is on most of these submissions (except 4).

Y'all keep talking about how this blog primarily deals with football, but it's not the only thing y'all cover.

If that’s the case, #3 and #4 are the only ones that can work as is because they don’t have anything specifically dealing with football on them. Not too big of a fan of 3, but 4 looks really awesome and doesn’t have the “we only talk about football” feel to it.

by jsholt969 on Oct 5, 2009 6:24 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Allow me to clear up a small misconception some people seem to have:

There no rule that states that everything we cover needs to be represented in the logo.

I mean, let’s be honest, we don’t ONLY talk about Alabama here, either, so maybe we should just forget any sort of Alabama-based branding?

Football blogging is, far and away, the chief export of this blog. Having a football in the logo is a stupid reason to rule it out.

by BamaBoy777 on Oct 6, 2009 3:17 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

#1 with a couple of "Tweaks" ...

Apologies to the designer … no offense intended … but based on many of the comments so far i took the liberty to tweak #1… my logo of choice so far.

Being that the logo plays off of a coat-of-arms theme (which i think is great … it harkens to our history and heritage) and utilizes symmetry as a graphic device. And what’s better than an elephant at the top? … TWO elephants!

Both tweaks show two elephants and “BLOG” changed to “EST. 2006”. The first one shows the Bama “A” centered up above between the elephants and the second shows the “A” larger at the bottom instead of the football … because of some of the chatter about being too sports specific. Personally I like the football and think that if it’s a problem in times when football is not in the forefront, maybe other symbols can take it’s place, i.e., crossed bats, golf clubs, winged foot, etc. … or maybe a universal symbol representing sports in general could be looked into … not sure if this will work though.

I’m not sure of the legalities involved with using the Bama “A” but if it’s a problem then another appropriate “A” can be used.

Comments?

New Design

Much tweaking to be done, but here’s what I could get away with and still get some legitimate work done today.

I’ll rework things based on comments, so let em fly.

My idea was to embrace what makes RBR great. I felt like my previous submission was a little to… sports brand-ish? Also, I think maybe the sheild/coat-of-arms doesn’t quite have the personality that fits this blog. We’re campy, sometimes gross, but always about ‘bama. Also, I feel like its a ’better reincarnation’ of the steamroller friend that many of us still like. Plus, he’s blogging in the picture – can’t get better than that, right?

I started to put more features on the image (ie: kool-aid), but I thought you guys might have better ideas than I would. Perhaps a can of pig lips… hmm, no.

Actually...

…we couldn’t use anybody. Copyrighted photos and such.

Ok...

….this one is cool. The one with the pictures in the background is better, but we obviously can’t use those images for copyright reasons. Also, that picture of Hank Jr is actually an impersonator, which is actually pretty fitting. Anyway, as of right now this gets my vote.

It's a problem...

… honestly too many good submissions and only one can be used.

Honestly, I’d like to use several of these for something, I just don’t know what.
