Looks pro but a bit too 'scrappy' needs to look like it will cut you.

I preferred the first new one, it was more bold and recognisable and the above alternative is hard to read and I don't like the font as much. Also, why on earth is the top half pink?

It looks much better with the side bits black though. How about posting each new alternative in this thread rather than updating the site each time?

what the fuck is going on here then?

changing the logo are you?.. idiots.

ok i see what you are doing, and i commend you for the effort and the idea, but i think it's wholly unnecessary. I like the old UK Thrash logo, for the fact that it looks totally slick and pro, and very un-thrashy. gives the forum and website such a good look, not like "oh look how crazy and cool we are - check out our METAL!!! logo". i would suggest that you quietly change back the logo, and pretend that none of this hilarious but rubbish shenanigans ever happened. We want to at least seem like a half serious organisation who know what is going on...

Now i understand that the old logo is not quite suitable just on its own for a t-shirt, but i think it is perfect for the back of a shirt (with the URL and a slogan of some description... UKThrash:Peados and the office etc), its simple and really effective, and looks great.

So i think a cheap and wonderful image for the front cover, should resemble the Thrash Metal Massacre (later used on In The Zine Of Evil) style black and white drawn picture thing. basically get forumers and forum friends (hopefully some good artists included somewhere) to come up with an awesome black and white t-shirt design. draw it, render it, use pencils, pens, blood, what ever. just make it look amazing, like a t-shirt you would see at a gig and say "yes please sir, i'll have one of the awesome one's please".

I like the colours on this one but I prefer the font on the black and white one.

How about a character? People seem to like simon and nina the zombie and chick I use on New Metal Army. Of course design by committe will get you nowhere fast :-k

hmmm I quite like this new logo that's on at the moment!

maybe post all of them in this thread so people know which ones everyone's talking about??

i tihnk making it look pointy sounds like a good idea, but it wouldn't look very good for the wrds UK Thrash I don't think!

T-shirts, yes!!! Would there not be an old thread around somewhere that was full of ideas?

I like the font! looks very nice
the K looks a bit like an R though.. Could maybe make the tops and bottoms of the letters a little more spikey?

i think just using a normal professional font rather than MTULZ!!1 font would look better

that latest one is the best

Craig, the black background is better for the header, but I'm getting white strips about 1cm wide on both sides. I guess this sort of thing is a hazard of having a 19-incher...
