Quote from Wulle :

Damn ... I read "ironic" instead of "iconic" ... all that hard work for nothing,

Nevermind, not bad for an iRonic plan

I'm now going to create humour by placing two unrelated things together. Remember you brought it on yourselves!

Here are my tries, they work with many variations of colours

Main logo


Mini logo

I vote for that as logo

My effort

I had an idea, but my artyness is pretty limited. Feel free to copy/improve it.
Outer is public domain, inner my work.

Something with a clock

Quote from axus :

You're kidding, right?

Whats wrong with it? It took me ages.

A little more direction, guys:

This is going to be a logo that will have to look good in a variety of places and on several different kinds of backgrounds. Therefore, logos that involve lots of graphics (i.e., background images like Bean0's and ldriver's) probably won't work. We need clean lines, preferably flat-ish text, and a transparent background. Colors should be carefully chosen to fit into a maximum of contexts.

Here are a few pro league logos for reference:

FIA: http://www.valencia-f1.co.uk/images/fia.jpg
NASCAR: http://shop.kiteloft.com/images/nascar%20logo.jpg

ALMS: http://www.imsaracing.net/2007/logos/alms.jpg
WRC: http://www.brilliantireland.co ... RC%20FIA%20logo%20JPG.jpg

All of these are clean, smooth, and largely free of clutter. This is the kind of professional look we're going for.

Thanks again!

ie: vector-ish.

I might give it a go whenever I have the time (then again).

Yeah, vector-ish might be a better way of putting it.

No offence guys as soe of these are really good, i think he wants a logo not a desktop as some people have put with a picture and masters of endurance on the side. Also i think he wants it to look smart and professional. Best one i think ive seen do far is either Niall's or Ksheppard that did two chequered flags, the blue one and cut the flag poles a bit and it could be better.

Dajim has the right idea but it's not professional enough looks more like a logo the simpsons would have adveritising a destruction derby. But still good.

Im not saying im an expert but im trying to say as nicely as i can without saying names. Your all better than me as im a numpty with photoshop. Keep em coming.

Can you sort out your lfs-lota userbars, they take minutes to load and it's getting annoying

sorry for off topic

Edit: Its fixed now

Well, I gave it a try.

Examples given on 2 colored bg (will work with basically any color), full logo and mini-logo, as well as an example of seeing the logo on a possible website.

Yes, that's very much more in the line we were thinking of.

The more I look at symbols that represent endurance, the more I realize how truly iconic and clever Tweaks original logo was.


Here is my try. Black background, light background, clear background, and simple. I've tried these against yellow, red, bright green, and royal blue, and they look pretty decent.

Here's a quick mockup, ignore the bad quality of some parts i just threw it together as a concept :P




That'd be for the website logo, for the other logos i could probably throw together something snazzy.

Oh, and that car's just there because it's about the only skin i have atm :P For the actual logo (If you choose me) i'll probably pop out a wee 3d render or something of a Masters of Endurance skin if you wanted.
