Yet another alternate trying to tie it altogether.

I still don't get what the message is to impart. Logos do a lot of subliminal things.

The horse could be faintly superimposed inside the 911 lines kinda like that montage awhile back that had all the models appear ghost like within the 991.

If the horse was a .gif with the animation it would definitely say "horsepower" or "wild"

But until we get insight as to what the enterprise is, we're only poking around.

WOW guys. Great ideas and info.

To start with I just pasted and copied some silhouettes I found online, real quick like. Really haven't had a chance to work on it. Just wanted to get the idea down on paper (or saved in .jpegs).

This is just a hobby farm for my wife's horses and I'll be doing fab work on P-cars in my spare time. So, I combined Horses and Porsches. Now I see that is a mistake. I'm thinking I should just put the name, Duck Feathers and maybe stables or farm or ???? BTW- to explain Duck Feather's, My wife's name is Heather and I'm Duke, when our god-children were young they called us Duck and Feather.

I, too, think the horse should be jumping towards the car. But I also like the idea of imposing the horse inside the 911. Or maybe we can reverse that?

Any more ideas and thoughts are appreciated.

You seem to like Italics so try Eurobold Extended in Italic. That's as close to the PORSCHE script as you can get.

Actually Zeke, it's just what Paint has it set to. I'm trying to find a good looking, rustic font.

It's coming along. As you add to the horse in definition, so must you add to the 911. IMHO, of course.

I'm not sure how to add definition to the porsche. Do I make it Horses and Porsches, or horses and 911's, hooves and tires, or ??????? I think stables needs to be in there also.

If they were draft horses I'd be all for it.

Something bothers me about the two figures looking like they're crashing into each other.

I think they should be moving in the same direction, and right to left. Same thing that many others have already said in this thread....

Are you trying to promote the hobby farm with the logo, or the fabrication business?

Honestly, I would create two separate logos - one for each business. And separate names, separate advertising, etc.

Bingo! From a marketing perspective you need to simplify the message that you are trying to send.

über rough...

I would stay away from Porsche type lettering and I always think things moving from left to right seem more 'right'...

Fox, that first one you did is about as good as this concept can be done. Any more , or any less, and you get odd looking images.
