I need a bit of a hand with The Snug Fox logo, as my artistic skills leave almost as much to be desired as my graphics software. I've got an idea in my head, which I've tried badly to draw, but a couple of google images look a bit better proportioned than my attempt (& actually have the snout nice & snug)... ![]() I've sort of got the idea of a line drawing (like the 3 legged fox) that stands on it own without so can be easily changed to different colours/backgrounds if required, although a full colour one may work just as well. If anyone has better ideas/graphics packages, then I'd welcome thier input! Edited by Cambridgefox, Dec 10 2012, 10:48 PM.

To quote myself from the other thread:
But I've realised I've not the ability to create it myself so I'm looking more for someone else to create some original art for me for free (Either by turning my sketch into something more presentable or something a little different, like Mike's logo). It's a fine line between making the fox look snug & making it look asleep!I've been trying to place what I had in mind all day & have just gone on my home PC & loaded up Firefox & have just realised where my thought came from! |

| Couldn't we stylise it; a bit like Picasso's "Camel"?? |

Wanted to get something up there today, so went to our design guy first thing in the morning to tap him up for a bit of personal work & made the mistake of opening the conversation with "How's it going?" - the response "I'm stressed... I've never been so busy... I'm having to say no to people... I'm not off to a meeting..." so not much chance of that! Then tried to draw something tonight - & found out that the possibility of drawing on a laptop's touchpad is nil. ![]() So had to give up with that idea & in the end just re-created my draft design by cutting & pasting bits of circles together. Still, I'm reasonably pleased with the result.. it could probably do with a bit more polishing, but at least the board finally has it's snug fox in the corner!

I went right all the way through every font on the advanced software I use (Paint ) & couldn't find the right one... I then lost patience going back through them & stopped when I got to a roundy one without too many serifs!

| The colour editing is a bloody nightmare on this thing, so it's just as well the default was dark blue & orange! I'll chip away at the odd bit of colour here & there when I have time: still need to sort out the orange text & the logo will look much better once the background merges into the background of the page & the font is changed... |

| Just checking out what's at the top of the page I have to say I like it. Yes it looks naff and it I dare say some snotty nose teenager would come up with something more professional but I think it kind of looks right in a fanzine sort of way. |

![]() And one with no filters. The legs have gone, I've inverted the tail to create a white tip, nose and ears highlighted, head resized (though I'm upset with the balance of the line thickness). I'll correct the bottom line at some point to level it out. Edited by fleckneymike, Dec 15 2012, 10:19 AM.

| I don't care if you don't chose any but please, for the love of all that is good in the world select a simple, elegant font for the board header. Dafont is worth looking through, loads of free, well designed fonts there. |

| Cheers Mike - looks good so I'll try and get it up tonight. I like the bands of white on there, and the yellow looks more Leicester City than the orange ever will! |

| They don't like the current one on FOL, which would be one reason for keeping it! |

I've put it up, but I can't really put it on anything other than a white background, so you might want to go the whole way & design the whole header with font included! Interesting point I read somehwere about copyright extending to the concept of the design. I've looked at the designers' website with his designs for this & they include a foxes head in a hexagon - which looks remarkably similar to another logo I've seen somewhere...
