CPF Gear ....gotta create a new Logo

the candlepowerforums logo is a bit ehhh or on some items needs tweaking in location , just on the clock alone the big and little hands block the logo ....good time for a contest for cpf gear design

Uh... no... the CPF Logo is what it is. I can add to the existing "base" logo, like I have for the other CPF sites but the original CPF Logo will not be changing.

FWIW, I totally forgot the clocks... I'll go check them now.

adding to the base logo would be nice on some of the items for more ooomph ...im disappointed you didnt model the shirts yourself

Woohoo!!! Didnt even know we had gear yet. Just checked it out and will be placing an order for a Tee for myself and a onesie for the son that is coming at the end of November. Now just to convince my fiancee he should wear it home from the hospital :thinking:

I just placed my order for a shirt and bumper sticker. I wish I had your email addresses so I could send you a $5 coupon!

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason that you do not want to update the logo? I think an updated logo would make the site look more pro and it would certainly help to move some gear in the CP store.

another +1..

I think it looks fine on the forums header, but it's downright ugly on the gear.

My thoughts exactly. It keeps me from buying any gear.

Stop asking guy's; it's not going to happen

Tell ya what... write to Surefire and tell them that their logo looks like shite on shirts and such (well it does! Not my fault!)... and tell them you want them to change their logo. Get back to me when they get back to you on that... ok?

I can't see any reason to change the logo. Stability helps recognizably. Look at Coke. Coke is one of the most recognized brands on the planet. And yet their logo has remained largely unchanged for over one hundred years. And like CandlePowerForums their original market targeted people "just looking to score a hit".:nana:

I did write to them to tell them that I was disappointed in the hat I bought from them, it was made in China (which I thought ironic for a Made in USA company such as SF) and it was sized appropriately for typical smaller Chinese person. They never responded.

So you're +1 on Surefire support, but I'm still not buying any gear with the existing CPF logo on it

Theres nothing wrong with keeping things fresh and up to date.


Some companys hit it on the first try, others had to take a few swings.




Whatever though, some people get it, some people don't.

I see your point. But a shiny new logo won't make CPF cool, we do. We make it cool. Not the other way around. It is a visual representation for people to associate our group with, that's all. I'll rock the "corny" logo all day long because I'm proud of it.
