AS A uni / sign guy, here is what I think.

If you are going to have a logo designed for stickers, please make sure
that the designer does the rendering in EPS,AI,CDL or FS. All of these
will help you in the logo/ sticker/ print/ t-shirt areas. If you are
designing a logo in photoshop, please keep the resolution very high.

Stickers for cars should be done single color (white is great)

remember, a great photoshop logo will look great on websites, but
multi-color stickers and t-shirts are very expensive in small orders.

In other words, to add onto what steveOwe said, it is best to do the
artwork in a vector graphics program, so your design will scale without
loss of detail to any size.

BTW, there's still nothing wrong with drawing things the old fashioned
way on paper, and then getting someone to convert the finished art to a
digital format. 🙂

Got to do that myself sometime, with my own logo. New text treatment,
followed by a vector version of it, followed by business cards, followed
by a complete redesign of my web site.... I'm tired already.

Say it isn't so. What about us? Your first club. This isn't going to be

jump start interest I am teaching two weeks of one-week summer
uni-camps.

Now the punch line: I need somebody that has a lot more artistic
and/or technical expertice with Photoshop than me to help me with a
club logo. The school's mascot is a gryphon (you know, an animal that
has the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle). Any
ideas?

Hey MUCRider, it is not an either-or thing but rather a more-and-more
thing. I'm planning on getting paid to teach unicycling DURING THE
DAY!!!! You know my heart is in Midtown with the MUCsters. I'm just
sort of freelancing, hoping to raise some interest AND money.

Geez, Tommy- What'd I do to tick you off?

Even folks in Canada thought to call me, and you didn't. I live, what,
ten blocks away?

And I owe you a favor on the seatpost thing back during the Duathlon,
anyhow.

Come by the house, We'll knock out a gryphon logo. Vector or Photoshop,
whichever you really need.

There is a photograph floating around that rhysling put onto 1000
temporary tatoos and John Foss made into T-shirts. You might want to
consider that. Who cares what the mascot is?

Great one, Greg! I can see it now. Here I set, in the most
conservative part of the country in THE MOST conservative community of
prim ad proper suburbanites and I post as our logo a super-sexy,
cross-dressing Dr. Harper! Sure, man, they'd LOVE me! Can I at least
wait until I'm ready to leave the South?

Tommy - congrats on the fruition of your efforts growing into getting
paid to do your uni promotion and skills. I look forward to hearing
about your successes in this program.

About that Dr Harper photo..... I think it'll scare the youngsters, a
cartoon or logo might be better. Sorry Harper, but you should have
known what that photo would do to your life when you posed for it.

i doubt if he did actually pose for it
i think the unicycle was dying of cancer and he just wanted it to feel
better so he plied himself with alcohol untill he felt like lying on a
picnic table and just hold it for awhile...

Maybe if you include the wings, folks will think it's a depiction of an

This has certainly been a fun thread, but not necessarily helpful to
Tommy. Tommy, I was imagining in my head what a gryphon riding a uni
might look like as a cartoon. Might be fun to have your local
cartoonist play with that. as stated above, keep it simple enough for a
single color printing to save on t-shirts and other printed items.

It's a Private School in the Suburbs... I don't think Money is much of
an issue. Heck, they are paying him to teach a uni camp! It's amazing
where life takes you when you are passionate about something.

mmm, i thought that -was- the fun part...
😉

since the Gryphon looks a bit dragon-like, why not turn the whole thing
around and have a Quixotic character on a uni ride, lance in hand,
riding at a fire-breathing Gryphon?

Wow, these are some really good ideas. That is, besides the image of a
bunch of 4th graders riding around a gym wearing t-shirts with a picture
of a prone Harper, I have got something to go on now and you all have
contributed to my thinking on this.

Gild, actually you are not so far off. The name of the school is St.
George's - perfect, the dragon slayer.

Too, I like the idea of something really simple and easily reproduced
for easy ID. I think that I'll initially go with the school's logo with
beneath iit "Unicycle Club."

I'll talk with our club cartoonist and try to squeeze some creative
genius out of him. Currently I'm looking for a dentist in Memphis that
wants to learn to unicycle so that, perhaps, I can get some free dental
work - too!

Thanks to all of you,
Tommy
