I think its time for a new BikeForums logo and design. Any designers around this part? Any coders familar with the vBulletin templates?

Woah, that's cool. I will look into it! Thanks.

Let me first say that it is already one of the best and most legible designs out there, so any new considerations should follow the original.

Really?

I am interested to see a new idea but still, the original rules!

Perhaps we could have, I don't know, a shield of some sort. And maybe some letters, "O", "C" and "P" are three of my favorites. Yeah, that's it: OCP.net

Actually, I like it the way it is.

Couldn't you just replace the numeral 4 with another bottle? :D

+1 IN BOTH CASES! though we would need a disclaimer not to drink and ride, even though that would keep me off the bike most of the time:D

Please accept this submission for the new BF logo. Thank you for your consideration.

Not to sound conceited, but I think it's some of my best work to date.

Nope, still like the original better.

We should at least keep the Swedish National Team colours.

Go Sweden!

There are actual jerseys available? I thought that stalled after the contest that was held awhile ago.

I like the yellow that's in the original logo, so if that could be included some how, that'd be great.

Many succesful businesses and corporations don't make dramatic changes to their logos, they simply update them based on the original. I'd like to see a 'tweaking' of the original logo and colour scheme.

I'm not really a designer, but here is a very (too?) simple design with a few font variations. Just an idea.

I like the first one, goobers. Because it has the same colors, the same lettering. It looks clean and it is still very Bikeforumy.

IMHO the original is sort of US Navy or college footbally.
The little swoosh is sort of random, Saturny, kind of NASA thingy.
It feels kind of late 80's ish.

YMMV.

I thought the late 80s were in!

Actually, the swoosh was a failed attempt at making a curve, but I kind of liked how it looked. Keep in mind that I spent all of about 5 minutes on this :D. If anyone wants to fool around with the .psd files I made, PM me.

Commenting on the original.... but yours has that 80's quality too. :D

I just love that it says Scientific Chart on it. It's the best graph ever.

I always thought the original BF logo reminded me of the paint job on a Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
