Nothing – I agree some are currently a little cluttered, but not to the point of being complicated.

Besides these are essentially first drafts – why not give constructive feedback on the ones you like and how they can be improved?

What happened to “the logo needs to be simple” ?

I really like them all.

I agree that the font isn’t quite right, but that can easily be changed. I also agree that other than the disc rotor / chain ring shapes it’d be best to steer away from bike parts and stay as esoteric as poss.

Logo 1 (top left) with an outer border (taken from the monastry window), and different font would be my fave.

I’m unsure about the retro STI levers, which look like a rip off of the new Shimano XT brake advert… Also, the B looks like a G, as Bob says. I like the posts, but they do look like skis. I’d go with top right, but with a different font so its a better B and then removing the STI levers to just leave the brake rotor. If we did that we’d then have to make the signs onsite look like that too

I like the top left one, the middle top and bottom ones, however I’m not to keen on the font for the B and C’s

Err, may be just me, but BCC looks like GCC in that font…
Which Rose Window is that? Looks like St Albans… (ducks and covers)
tbh, I’m more in favour of playing up the monks connection rather than general MTB stuff, but that’s cos I am difficult like that and esoteric is best for me.

BTW 2nd fav is Logo 4 – very relevant and striking. It’s hard to pick between these two as they’re both so good.

I like Logo 3 also! I agree the letters should read from left to right rather than from top to bottom but NO don’t move the letters as it would effect the balance of the whole design. It looks great as it is. Website, club and identity are all top banana. Can you add more action photography in time to the site? You must have plenty to inspire… :0)

I like the top left (Logo 1) and top right (Logo 3) the best, although I think Logo 3 would be better with the letters in correct order at the bottom of each “window”.

Still, they are all good!
