so guys,

my site is up and sorta kinda functional, still working on it a bit.

what i am REALLY lacking is a sharp logo

www.bings.ca is the site and what i want in the logo is this:

- the logo should obviously focus on the word / name BINGS
- does not all need to be capitalised but the “B” must be capped
- i want it to be aggressive and fast, something that fits our interests (sliding, recklessness, jdm tyteness)
- nothing to similar to what is already out there for logos
- doesnt necessarily need to have a car in it but that might be neat. if it does it should be an S13

whats in it for you?

if someone makes a logo that i fall in love with i’ll give you something you need for your car.

i’ll give the lucky person one of the following:

- slotted subframe collars
- B&M style short-shifter
- 3" test pipe
- S13 polished cooling panel

which ever you decide.

u dont need to submit your work in public, you are welcome to e-mail or pm me with it.

please submit at least yours ‘bings’ logo and maybe a “B” logo as well.

thanks guys, im hoping to come out hard in 2006 when War of the Wheels airs our 240sx episode on Global and we are working on some other fun stuff here in niagara as well as well as a big article and interview with Modified Mag to appear in their SEMA issue

when i get permission to post the pics from our shoot with Global i will

* * *

here is an example of a logo that was made for me by a friend as an idea of what i am looking for.

![http://www.chopsavvy.net/x/temp/bings2.jpg](http://www.chopsavvy.net/x/temp/bings2.jpg)

i’d like it to be more aggressive.

black should be an important part of the logo because my car is black as will every primary 240sx i own… gotta love it…

black and a dark red is what i kinda want, but if you can pull off something cool that is different then so be it.

i want to be able to make decals out of the logo and maybe fender decals out of the B like the Advan ‘A’

thanks

hahaha,

i am not shy about what is sold on there, but Ed should note that i am also the ONLY guy in the country offering CANADIAN MANUFACTURED parts for the 240sx.

and as time goes by you will see more domestically produced items and less of the imported stuff.

so ed can suck a nut.

had a few people submit actual tries, keep them coming please.

Don’t muck up the thread.

Comments are useful, just give a reason why you think a design is great or fails.

That logo does look like “Rings” and the repeated bings.ca is too small for a logo + the repetition of the word Bings is bad form. I dont like the font, I do like the checkerd flag, just not how its implimented (Rings)

I like ed’s tho.

Ahhh… thanks Mike, something useful at last. I gave Bing two copies, one with URL and one without. I just hate when a nice logo is messed up by someone putting a .ca or .com on the end. As for the “Rings”, I definitely considered that, but thought it might just be occurring to me because I had been looking at it too long. I’ll see if I can make it look more like a B. Think I’m going to try to squeeze out another design or two… why don’t you try again dude, I know you have it in you 🙂

JJ, can you put a line under the BIN up to the G,

i cant wait to see what you got next.

i was talking to Mike a while ago about maybe having some sort of graphic in the background too, iono if is too much.

i dont have anything particular in mind for a graphic behind it, maybe somehting simple like an arc or something.

u decide if you can or if it fits.

im actually really like that middle version, both of them.

i realise that the font requires the B to look that way, is there a similar font that will make the B look less like an R?
