You guys need to remember: > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > A logo needs to be simple and have no color / no fine detail so that it can be printed (shirts, stickers, etc.) for low cost and stand out. The one that you’ve already posted looks good Bing :tup: ---

K cuv’s second one would look awesome on the back of a shirt or on the top of a website. But i think the third bings (black and red) with the maple leaf looks the best for decals.🙂 ---

WOW that angers me to no end, that first post there is the most blatant plagarisim I have seen in years. nothing I hate more than seeing someone take credit for a design they didn’t do. argh. yeah, I also like the logo you’ve got there bing, looks cool, I’d personally squash it down a bit though. it’ll fit nicer into the webpage if it’s compressed vertically and the design will look even racier. ---
