We are looking for a logo that will set us apart and give us something to identify with. We run an Airsoft Website in SW Oklahoma. We are looking for a logo that will provide brand recognition to those wearing it on their hat, t-shirt or patch on their military BDU's. Our website, XXXXXX sells airsoft products to consumers and law enforcement. Our product consists of replica guns that shoot white plastic bb's semi and full automatic. (please browse the site)

A bit about Airsoft. Its much like paintball except that it uses realistic replica weapons that shoot 6mm Plastic bbs. The majority of the game is centered around MilSim (military Simulations). It is primarily a team sport which is based on the honor system. In that when you are hit you have to call it as the bbs do not leave a mark. We have a wide age range that plays with us....from 10 to mid 40s. We really push the safety aspect of the game as it relates to real firearms. It is a hobby that has been growing rapidly in the Southwest and across the US.

What we are looking for with the Logo. We want something that will uniquely identify our website and Kastway Airsoft as an organization. Colors ideally should be subdued because we want to put it on shirts that we could wear while playing. Most of the themes on our website are yellow and green background but is not required to be on the logo. However we are open to suggestions on this. Our goal is to have a patch that represents Kastway and can proudly be worn with casual attire or on the airsoft field. So flashly colors are not ideal for this type of sport.

We would like to leave the .com off of all logos.
We would like to avoid anything that could be construed as Militia like. A lot of our players are prior active duty military or law enforcement.
We are open to any and all suggestions and will provide timely feedback with our thoughts.

Once we agree on a design I would prefer to have the logo in three colors.

-Yellow and Green similar to our website

-Black

Here are a few links of logos of our competition.

The logo does not have to include our name but something that would represent Kastway based on our overall theme on the website. We are a family owned business.

Best of Luck!

Contest Runs until February 1st.

Keep in mind this will likely not replace the logo on the website and is intended for caps, t-shirts and patches.

Here are few ideas I like for a logo. These logos are trademarked but a similar concept would be great. Red, White and Blue is great but would like green and black as well. Subdue color version.

My preference would be to see this in Red, White and Blue as the patches I sent showed. Yes I will have one in subdued for patches and hats.

As for the logo's thus far they look great. I would prefer a soldier carrying or aiming with a Carbine, have a helmet on instead of a boonie hat and show a bit of detail (outline). The soldier should not be running and be in a commong military stance.

I have several photos I have found that you could use the outline so will be happy to post them or email if needed. Not sure what the rules are on how to do this.

Here is a photo of me at Fort Hood. Not sure this is the one but is a similar concept I am looking for. Also keep in mind for matches it would be idea if it is square since it all has to fit within the outline. The styles provided so far I think will work on hats and shirts.

Looking much better, may want a bit more detail of a NVG on his helmet. I will send additional feedback tomorrow once others have a chance to see this log and others to follow.

Thanks

Hello,

I wanted to follow up on the logo with a few more specific details.

Bill - I would prefer full body shot and with helmet no boonie hat. Your feedback would be appreciated.

Skyvee - I like the red/white/blue design. I am simply finding an ideal logo with that color scheme and once found will want the same design in the od and black scheme you provided earlier.

This design will be for baseball caps, shirts and patches. Please keep in mind the dimensions of the logo as it will need to fit on a cap or blown up to be on the back of a t-shirt. Feedback on this subject would be appreciated.

Skyvee,

Possible Changes...

On right shoulder add triangle patch pointing up in place of circle patch. (white)

-put buttstock from image 03 on 05

-Version 5/6/7 all need background color filled in behind left thumb and in front of the magazine. Refer to image 03/04 since those are filled in correctly.

-Please add v5 color scheme to v6 image.
Do not want 50/50 background. Please have solid red background.

-On V6 logo, create an outer ring that follows the contour of the given design.

-Change background on logo 6 to a solid background.

Skyvee,

Ok we are down to a few minor changes and I think we are done. There are three images I really like.

-I think I mis-informed you about the ring on the outside of the logo. I would like the ring to look like V04. Please apply these changes to image 07b and 06B

-On image 06B and 07B the butt stock is blended into the body of the guy. Can there be an outline or someway to show the stock? o not know the best way to do this but trying to show some outline what exists past the body of the gun.

The name "www" on logo 06B and 07B. I would prefer for the name to be below the logo like image 05B.

Global change for 05B/06B/07B. Can you add minor detail to the magazine? Here is a photo of what the magaine looks like. A few lines and such should be fine.


Once you have made these final changes I would like a copy of the following...

updated copy of 05B
updated copy of 06B
updated copy of 07B
updated copy of 06B with name above and below logo.

Once done we should be ready to end this job.

Thanks Skyvee!!

Hi,

Before I could send you the files, can you please post that you have already chosen me as the winner? After that, we can then complete the project.

Thanks! :)

Skyvee,

I'd assume this will be wrapped up once I get one last change. On previous logo 06c, I think we want the outer circle in blue as we have never seen it thus far in red. Also this same logo once changed can you add Kastway above the log and airsoft below the logo as have done before.

let me clarify what we should end up with...

05C
06C (with blue ring instead of Red) and Kastway Airsoft below the logo
06C (with blue ring instead of Red) with Kastway above and Airsoft below logo as you have done before

06C change to Blue background and red guy

Lastly, Skyvee do you think the outer ring should be the same color as the background? This logo will be on baseball hats, T-Shirts and Polo's

I will extend this project only a few days to make minor adjustments.

Hi, I think it doesn't necessarily have to be the same color as the background, to give it more balance and impact.:)
