Sorry to jump in so late and all, but it occurs to me to ask why you
want to do a parody logo for your group? Why not just create an
original image for yourselves? I can't figure the reason for wanting to
align yourselves with a bread company (that's what mimicking a logo does
for you- gives you a visual connection with another group) unless you
all work there or something.
These questions may sound dumb. But I work in advertising doing images
and logos. Sometimes small companies do (or say they want to do)
parodies and satires of previously existing material because of some
sort of default mode in their creative process- it's just easier to do
sometimes. Though it's easy to erase your own meaning in someone else's
original concept, some folks use parodies.
One example. A local real estate agent ran a bunch of ads where he had
a milk mustache. The tagline was "Got Steve?" Milk doesn't have
anything to do with real estate, but the Got Milk ads were popular, so
he did his parody, even though you had to somehow work out that he was a
real estate guy. Now, if his name had been 'Mike'- a word that at least
looks like the word 'Milk', I suppose it might have been worth his time.
Or maybe he was just mindlessly copying another real estate agent's ad
- an agent named 'Mike'- and ol' Steve just didn't get it.
I dunno. Just my two cents worth of blather. I have a big project to
do and I'm wasting my time and yours so I don't have to start.
