Hi..
Do you want just an initial "M" as the logo?
or the word "Metro" ?

Here is a version of what our ad agency came up with. We are very open minded and looking for something very different. Please see our original post for updated and more detailed direction on what we are looking for. http://www.metromotorgroup.com/test.htm

Hi Gig,

#4 and #5 isn't really what I was looking for, but #6 is on the right track. Please make 2 logos one with just the M and the other with the M and the ETRO for Metro. I look forward to seeing your work.

It was great to see so many submissions this morning. We are now starting to review them. If you have already submitted a sample we encourage you to create another Logo. We would like to see as many different logos as possible.

Thanks to everyone who as submitted a logo and to those whom are still working on something we look forward to see your logo soon!

Here it is with ETRO. I also changed the M. Needs to be cleaned up a bit, but I wanted to show you what I have so far.

Here's a concept from me. An iconic, simple like logo with colors requested, yet strong. <br>The isotype symbolizes an abstract metro, and inside the metro i manage to represent an abstract "M", <br>which at the same time contains the railway lines in negative and also transmit the feeling of tire prints, <br>which represents your product. <br> Plus it only uses 2 colors which reduces print costs, and looks equally great and strong in Black and White.

Thanks.

- An iconic and different from the rest letters abstract metro shape like "M" , but <br> still the rest of the letters are integrated as one compact typographic<br> logo block with the "M". <br><br>- Bit shear to reflect cars, motor, speed, movement. <br><br>- The Motor Group block has negative and positive lines to manifest tire prints, <br>velocity, going forward and future vision.<br><br>- The gradients reflect a modern and quality logo.<br><br>- Different color layers applied to the text to give it volume and strenght.

We do apologizes for the delay, we have been having some delays in picking our next logo. Even though we will not be using the Logo we have decided to award the winner of post #37 Gig as the winner. Thanks very much to Design Outpost, this is truly a great way to get different perspectives on what people imagine.

Sincerely,
Metro Motor Group

So, what should I do now?
