Last Call for RBR Logo Submissions

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

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.

I hadn’t seen it before, and I think it would look good on the swag items.

over-emphasize football?

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

with a heavy lean toward #1.

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.

and yes, take “blog” out of it.

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.

Very well done. I like how the houndstooth and twelve stars were incorporated. Classy.

and i actually really do think any emphasis on football should be removed.

…..the other ones suck

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.

Put it on some swag and consider it purchased. I do like the idea of Est. 2006 versus the blog.

Do we get to vote?

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?

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.

It’s classy. And the “RBR” does NOT need to be made more bold. Bold typeface is trashy

What happens when we when our next national championship…….can we change it again to add the extra star????

Number one just doesn’t seem to have the right amount of campiness that is such a hallmark of SB Nation blogs…just sayin…

…the Elephant looks like he is about to rip something in half…hopefully the hearts of Tennessee and Auburn fans!

by far is the best looking… and gets my vote

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.

1. replace the blog with Est 2006 like suggested otherwise we are good to go.

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.

I’ve got a couple of other thoughts but need to post a jpg to show what I mean.
How do I do that? I don’t see anything here that mentions uploading an image.

I thought by clicking the image icon above the message box would allow me to attach an image. Help would be appreciated.

1. looks too much like a medieval royal crest.Like the Knights of the Crimson Tide or something.

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).

I think #2 is pretty sweet.

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.

I have just been reading everyone’s thoughts on them. I have to plug my vote in for #1!!
Who came up with that one? It is F’ing BA! Maybe it’s the hounds-tooth? Maybe the it’s the pachyderm? I don’t know…but me likey. As always though I’m sure I’ll be down for what ever is voted as the next RBR logo. RT, and good work to everyone involved!

Looks pretty cool to me.

pasted together from a few of the other submissions. I’ll leave it to someone with actual talent to make it look good, if anyone likes the basic concept.

i think the new logo would look good as the elephants on the big screen, in the stadium, before the games… the ones with the warpaint.. i dont know if there would be any legal issues with it but a pic of those elephants would look awesome as the logo! it would also look good on a shirt!!! id buy it!!!

like #1 and #4

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?

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.

… 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.
