Thread: What do you guy's think of this Logo and Name?

Bill do you mean some more of my work after the violin and Stratocaster or did you miss these posts?

Just in case you missed them, the violin you can see on e-bay. The item number is: 6605464452. So far 1 bidder and 21 watchers. I hope not all the watchers are from SRP .

The Stratocaster post is here: http://straightrazorpalace.com2/showthread.php?t=5036

WOW NICE WORK..........Apparently I did miss the post. Those are really nice scales. Love the detail. You are quite talented. I love the idea of the Violin it is cool.

Oh!! I forgot to answer you question...........If you do make some more I would love to see them.

I like the original best. I think it has what I think is needed. It is simple, It is eye catching, it has the theme of the straight razor and that you are a custom shop.

I do like the violin logo, especially since I have seen photos of your scales w/ razor and also because I try to play the fiddle. But it only conveys the violin. What about your creativity and other themes. You might make scales for bikers, other musical instruments, skiing/snowboarding, special interests, or anything else that you might like to venture into. You could even get into occupational just like many shaving mugs.

I would like to see what scales you can come up with for woodworkers, cabinet makers and carpenters. Perhaps a plane or chisel profile.

The original is definitely the better of the two.

I bet if you made a harley davidson style motorcycle razor that would sell pretty well.

Harley......Someone say Harley........lol. Very nice logo and great idea. Lynn

Ofcourse you have to go with the violine (Strat, Harley e.t.c.) scales, or maybe incorporate the word "Theme" (or Razors) in the scales, since that will be the main point of interest of your business, untill you get grinding wheels and start grinding them "monkey tails"...

I must say that the original logo unequivacally says "Razor". Not just the Depew silouette but also the font. It makes a bold, sharp statement.

The second logo is more soft and wishy washy, like a Mach3 vs. a Straight.

Take a closer look and you will see what I mean about the font.

As far as the violin is concerned, it is just the first theme. Who knows what scales I'll be making (if any ) down the road. So adding an ephemeral product to the logo is not a good idea. It may have no meaning down the road.

The Depew shape is a classic and won't go out of style no matter what the razor related direction is taken.

Thank you for your feedback. It helped me clarify and solidify my choice.

BTW, I am looking at making motorcycle scales but it would have to be a chopper. The thin long shape of the scales would distort a normal bike too much. The chopper can be made longer by lengthening the front forks, resulting in less distortion for the rest of the bike body.

I too have a feeling that the bike scales would make a splash. Even if not a great seller by themselves they would attract a lot of attention which would most likely translate into more sales for other themes.

Right now these scales are out of the blue and no one knows what to make of them. Not really a surprise.

It would only take one high profile opinion as to their value and the rest would jump on the bandwagon. Sort of like Lynn's video jacking up the price of DD Wonderedge and the rest of the DD line.

Maybe I should make a set for Lynn to use in his next video .
