Working with a graphic artist to update the logos/graphics

Here's his first attempt at the logo, I'm really digging it.
What about you guys?
Notice it doesn't say forum, why because we're on a forum... :)
Thought the logo looked cleaner without it.
 
I like the look but I think the "Reflected" looks dumb and is really hard to figure out (Thanks, SHOdded) and as far as the word Forum goes, I like it in the title, but it's OK either way, just think Ecoboost Performance seems lacking.  However, the logo looks awesome. And not sure I understand what is meant by "Media Preview"?
 
Sorry, not trying to be negative, but after looking at this new graphic and doing some more thinking, I think the graphics are fine for use here, but I was thinking as a decal with my last comments.  I really do like the Ecoboost Performance but if it were going to be turned into a decal I think it should say "Forum" and have a web address.  Sorry, if I sounded negative in the first post, but I really was thinking as a decal/sticker.  However, I still can't figure out what is meant by "Reflected Media Preview"...sorry.
 
Looks awesome!

I would guess the grey image over and the type at the bottom are the logo for the company that designed and sent out a preview. That way you can't copy it without paying for it first.

Correct, just the middle logo. I'm getting graphics done for this and ecoboost power parts at the same time.

Not too shabby.

My only suggestion would be, is to provide more of a white outline around the 'performance'.

Most notably, the 'P' disappears between where the road meets the branch of the leaf.

Needs to be somewhat more of a differentiation.

It shows that it is a reflection of the product.  That's just a designation the designer put on.  It won't be on the finished product.  Same for the grey stuff.

 
NP  You might not know about that stuff if you haven't dealt with printers or graphic designers.  They just don't give designs away.  Like magazine pictures online with their name splashed across them.
 
I really hate the whole ecoboost thing altogether; I really wish ford had went a different direction with the naming.  That being said I think the graphic is great.  I like the choice of fonts and I do agree the P gets kind of lost in the chaos at its current location.  I also think having forum on there would clutter it up but on the other hand it would make it a graphic for your thing and not fords thing.  The url is just a huge mouthful and I'm not sure how you would put it where it wouldn't look like an ugly wall of text. 
 
just a thought have one of the O's be a turbo or both the O's in the boost part be turbos since twin turbos lol

may be a little much but never know till you see it
 
That's kind of a neat idea to insert the image of two turbos where the O's are..... :hmmm:

Think forum should be in the title. It may be obvious you are in a forum once you are here, although it's not initially obvious when you go to home page, but outside of here, on stickers, badges, t-shirts, caps etc, it just looks like am advert for Ford. It means nothing.
Had to have the word forum in, so that outside of here it acts as advertising, then once you arrive on site the logo is reaffirmed. Doesn't need the URL. Just the words ecoboost performance And forum, Let Google do the rest.

From someone who's spent thirty years in sales and marketing my advice is if you leave out the word forum you will regret it down the line ,/)

That is tru maybe put it in there small just under the last  part of the word performance. Big enough to see but small enough to not take away from the resr of it
 
I just bought EB-PF.com, I couldn't get EBPF.com
I think we can incorporate that into the logo as it's short and sweet. I'll see what he can come up with.

I really like that idea of incorporating the turbo's...I've always wanted to do something like that but since I retired I didn't get a chance to give my artist friend a chance to do it. And I have no artistic skills at all....
 
Sorry guys.  I don't like the turbo "O" idea.  I think it's too gimmicky.  I would go along with "Forum" being on there for off site use, such as stickers or, as an addition to the logo on the home page.
