new c6 logo
Hi, im taking a design class and I redesigned the corvette logo for the upcoming C6, assuming its redesign follows the trend of the new thunderbird and retro looking mustang gt concept. The logo should have the classic look but a bit modernized. Here are three of my finals choices. I would like your opinion on what you like best and why. Thanks, please be easy on me, im just a student

Try to find a font that symbolizes those traits. I would think that leaning letters (italized),

Re: new c6 logo (shahin)
Yeah to retro looking for me...but nice try with your class work
I would like to see the slant like the C5 letters are...something on those lines...and some boldness added..
Just a thought...

Re: new c6 logo (Traceys2vettes)
I think the letters should be anchored at the bottom instead of hung from the top... more of a Vette tradition. Also prefer italics myself. Make a play off the C1 script.

Re: new c6 logo (Delux)
As other said, the letters should convey a sense of speed and power. But they should also be bold and should have a strong presence. Right now...they look apologetic. For starters, I'd switch to capital letters. It's not a corvette. It's a CORVETTE! Joining the letters together was an interesting approach, but the CO at the begining gets left out...just sitting there on it's own. Is it a CO. Vette? In summary, I would strive to include this feelings in the font. Speed, Power, Nimbleness, Boldness, Authority, Fun. Good luck.

"Corvette" really needs to be in itallics for me to show a sense of forward movement.

Re: new c6 logo (shahin)
Way too kick back, not enough POWER in the font. The e’s are cruzzing along happy, not in a hurry to win a race. Also watch the negative space between the letters it is inconsistent. As suggested, try caps; also try varying the stroke a bit more if you are staying with a semi-cursive style.
Please post you new ideas.

Re: new c6 logo (999)
Your retro look seems to only go back to the mid 70's. With appologies to my C3 friends, those weren't the classic Corvettes from which I'd take styling cues for a logo.
My understanding is the C6 will be a more forward thinking, more dynamic look rather than a retro effort like the current Fords -
If I were doing it I'd head in a direction more like this -

Re: new c6 logo (jholmes)
Good example! I am sure that the Corvette lettering is aligned, but it must be the background that makes the lettering to me seem like it is sloping down, left to right. Optical illusion, I suppose. I particularly like the metal highlighted lettering. :cheers:

Re: new c6 logo (shahin)
If you go retro.....avoid the 70's! Some of the early Corvette lettering was more interesting than the current script. Perhaps try a more modern written look as opposed to printed.
