oh boy !!!!you must be having eagle eyes...i guess mine are weak...its time for a check up i suppose 

Agree poll is a good way to go about this. Am i allowed to vote??

[mail4ajo]

I like the first one.

I hope to stickerise this with permission from Anwar and try to distribute freely to friends and other hobbists. Is it possible to post a high resolution image?

I also feel that the forum address must be mentioned somewhere on the logo.

[anwar]

As soon as we finalize the logo, we will post a hi-res one here, for ANYONE to copy and use in a non-commercial way.  If you are making stickers, please make like 50 extra ones, I will pay your expenses for the same. I intend to give them out along with the sweepstakes, and distribute among friends.

Yes, please add a "www.rcindia.org" line below the logo when you make the stickers (instead of incorporating it into the logo itself).  

Agree poll is a good way to go about this. Am i allowed to vote??

Of course you should vote !

Hi sandeep
For what purpose do you want the logo?? If you intend to print it on a cloth i could make a standard eps file which is used for printing purposes. Once finalized the eps file will be mailed to anwar who can then distribute as he likes. What do you say???

Yes Ankur, I need this for T-Shirt printing which is lying with me for the last two months  
never mind, will wait for final version.  

[anwar]

Looks like no one likes the alternate letter style   Will wait for one more day anyways. 

Please vote, if you have not done so already !

[anwar]

OK, the existing one remains 

Ankur, kindly send me a hi-res version, after fixing that "rounded edge" issue for the wings of the airplane (as your time permits, of course!). 

[sushil_anand]

What size stickers are you looking at?

[allthatido]

hi anwar

m busy for a couple of days 
will take some time to rectify the logo...i ll try to get it done asap

[anwar]

No big deal... take your time. We are at your mercy 

Wonder if we should have a hi-res one for everyone to download, without the drop shadows for ease of printing on tee-shirts etc. Anybody with experience in that ?  Does the fine gradation of shadows work on fabric ?

[chintan]

Hi Anwar...
old logo(RC in orange and India in Green) looks better compare to new one....but..but...i feel that the airplane is more closer to fonts compare to radio...just 1mm more space between them will make the logo symmetric....again, it is just my opinion....

[anwar]

Thanks for the feedback !  You are right the plane is closer, but that is a middle-ground we had to take because the plane is inherently larger than the radio. 

The more we move the plane to the right, the more we will feel that there is a lot more "black" on the right side compared to the left side.  So the symmetry I was looking for is more in terms of equal amounts of "black area" on both sides of the letters, as opposed to the actual distances from the letters themselves.  The current arrangement allows the edges of both the black sides of the logo to feel at somewhat equal distance, instead of having the plane taking up a whole lot of space on the right side as compared to the radio on the left side.

I don't know if I explained it well or confused the heck out of you   In short, this was done on purpose, based on one veiw point.  Again, all a matter of personal preference !

[sushil_anand]

What size stickers are you looking at?

Asked this question because I would like to make some, if of reasonable size. Will give them for free to all who send an S.A.E.

Hope this will elicit a reply !!

Hi,
I just noticed one thing is that the radio picture in the logo is taken from back side (Battery compartment side). Is that done like this only or what... not able to understand.... its not an issue but still......

[merog]

Hi Guys,

Wonderful looking at the new Logo. Just now I visited the site after a long time.

And as a professional designer I could create logos for the offshore people, but I failed to create a logo for our own country. I feel very sorry, I missed it!

(you can see my RC samples here: www.merogdesign.com/samples.html)

Any way congrats to the guy, who created the new logo and achieved it to be accepted by Anwar to put on the site!

Regards...//MEROG

[anwar]

Ankur helped us refine my existing design.  That is different from what you were suggesting earlier, which is a complete redesign.

I am thankful to both of you for your support.

Not sure if we wanted to get into such detail. Ankur can add couple of circles and sticks to it, but as long as it conveys the message (which it does even now), we are OK with it.  But they cannot be plain circles; they have to take into account the light, shadow and viewing angle.

[allthatido]

Hi anwar
i am sad to announce that my laptop has  crashed. 
I think it will take time before i can fix the wing shadow.

[anwar]

Bummer     

Let me see if I can get a hold of AI so that I can put a hi-res version of the logo as is for everyone to use.  The wing shadow can be done later.

Most likely it will be the first week of Oct, after I return from my trip.

[allthatido]

well anwar...the issue is the if we export a hi res jpg for the printing of stickers, t-shirts etc. we'll actually limit the max size till which it can be printed with good resolution(above which it will pixelate). That will depend on the resolution of the jpg exported. That means for every size that we have to print we have to export a different resolution of jpg...which can be tedious.

Those of you who need the logo for printing..please confirm from your printer guy if he accepts the standard .epg extension file for printing...and if not what ext file does he need apart from jpg and other similar formats with limited resolution capacity.

i will upload a standard .epg file soon.

[allthatido]

and one more thing

it will be costly to get the logo printed with the drop shadows if at all the printing guys agree to print it. Should i keep them or do away with them for printing purposes???

If any of you want a specific print size..do let me know and ill put up that custom size jpg up here.

[anwar]

Our official logo for the forum will have the drop shadow. But we can generate hi-res version with or without the drop shadows, as required by the audience.

[allthatido]

and what size jpg should i put up? U have anything (size) in mind??

[anwar]

I will let the people who wanted to make stickers speak to that.

I am guessing something that can support a "2inch x 6inch" size would do, and it can be scaled down if needed.

[allthatido]

Here are two hi resolution jpg's..should be suitable for stickers..one has a drop shadow and the other doesnt.
I would suggest people who are going to print bigger size to check the resolution of print first on a sample paper.

The size uptil which there should b no problem of resolution should be 3x9 inches. (but i suggest you take a sample print first).

Let me know if you face any problems.

[anwar]

Shouldn't we remove the "reflection" also from the second one (for ease of printing) ?  Or put a version out there which has the reflection and the shadows removed.
