Option 3 introduces a discontinuity in thought; dumb or genius. Probably not good for a logo.<BR/><BR/>That leaves option 1. The only thing I would say is at present you have two copies of the same thing at either end of the logo and that feels wrong. My suggestion is to turn the g-in-a circle into a stamp, probably in red, and at a slight angle over the end of the title logotype. You could then use that in the show, stamping an idea "certified genius" within the show with one of those big stamps librarians used to use. A nice finality to that in showmanship terms.<BR/><BR/>In that way the g-in-a-circle stamp becomes a shorthand logo for the show as a whole, similar to copyright or registered trademark - which is what you should of course do with it as quickly as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-15424508351122177302008-09-07T15:57:00.000+01:002008-09-07T15:57:00.000+01:00Has to be number 1, at a push number 2 and no way ...Has to be number 1, at a push number 2 and no way for number 3. nuff said.earthfromthegroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544686250039151137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-24507886418313781812008-09-07T15:31:00.000+01:002008-09-07T15:31:00.000+01:00Got to be option 1 for me, its simple and sums up ...Got to be option 1 for me, its simple and sums up the show, <BR/>Cant wait to see genius on tv!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
