New oes.org logo?

Ok folks: here's the thing.

oes.org has had the same logo forever (in a couple of different sizes):
<center>Image</center>

I think it's a little outdated. At one point I considered this one:
<center>Image</center>
Also, the one at the top of the forum screens is a little plain too, no?:

A few years ago, an acquaintence did this for me; the artwork was a little crude, but it was only a 5 minute markup:
<center>Image</center>
I didn't totally hate that one, or something like it.

So I've been thinking about a new logo for a long long time. But what should it look like?

Just a sheepdog? Naaaaahhhh everybody has just a sheepie...
Just Text? BOOOOOooooorrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnggggg
What? What.... WHAT?

Well, I've decided. I have no clue. So we need to come up with a way to get a new logo that doesn't cost very much (ok, almost nothing). So before I can decide on a new logo, I have to come up with a way to get a new logo!

I thought about a contest; but really... Who is gonna judge it but me? After all if a panel of judges picks something I don't like... do I just have to live with it?
And what about a prize for the winner? and how is THAT fair? And what about hurt feelings?

So that's why we haven't had a new look or logo in such a looooooooong time.

I am open for suggestions!!!! Wide open! If you don't want to publicly post your suggestion, PLEASE PM or EMAIL me!

I think the 3rd one is the best but would cool with some cute OES pic next to it. ...maybe animated. ...maybe the infamous wiggling butt (shaking)
Hi Ron,

Since the words you chose in blue ink I think Danita's famous blue sheepie painting would look so cool. It's different from all the other sheepies I've seen located on other websites. Of course ,it does depend if she is willing to allow for it, as I realize that this is her business. Could work positively however, as it may be a win win situation. Don't want to put her on the spot by suggesting it but that's my vote.

I wouldn't choose pale blue..as it's hard to see but stick with the bold blue for the wording.

Ron,

I agree with Joahaeyo, but with an alternative: an actual picture of one of the OES of a forum member. Ask for submissions of one pic from each member's dog that has been awarded a champion title. Then ask all the members to vote on the choices. As to an animated drawing, its got to show the wiggling and the tongue out with full groomed coat.

If the live idea is not an option I'd still vote on # 3. Perhaps one of the members can provide the artwork.

I liked Marianne's suggestion of using Danita's painting.
I also liked your idea of a contest, but changing it a little. What about once a month you choose a member's sheepie and it is spotlighted as the logo. The next month it changes to a different sheepie. Everyone would have a chance to be in the spotlight. I don't know how hard that would be, but a suggestion just the same. :D

I vote for using Danita's artwork. But like Marianne says, only if she volunteers it. I like the idea of using community artwork--kinda like keeping it in the family.
I can do something!!

Check out some designs at the store
http://www.cafepress.com/danitashop/463916 there are diferent layouts that can be used for the logo.

If you have ideas on what you'd like the logo to look like, let me know. I'll be happy to create one for the org!!!

Danita
I vote for Danita, too.

I love the sketch, in fact, I'm wearing the t-shirt as I type!

Danita-
We love your work !
It would be awesome to have a new logo designed by
you for the oes.org site !
Ron, when you offer baseball caps and t shirts with the new
logo, we're ordering !!!!

Best Wishes
Thanks thanks to all my fans lol :lol: just kidding....

So, would you like something like a cartoon or a painting for the logo? I think that a cartoon would be easier to make it small and big depending of the place....or a cartoon painted with acrylics....mmm.... any ideas?
Unfortunately, there's no money in the budget for a professionally done logo.
Thanks for calling me a professional!!! :wink:

I wouldn't charge oes.org for the logo... This is a wonderful community from where we've taken so much, that the least I can do is give something back!

Now... time for letting the creative process roll... :D
I didn't know where else to put this. Saul's new avatar (looks like the sheepie is passed out from too much activity!) is just the cutest thing evah!

Paula O.
I just wanted to add I love Saul's new avatar too - it's hysterical!!
