Had some free time today so I put together a new logo. It looks huge to me and while I thought about spray painting ".com" at the end, I couldn't get it to look right.

Anyway, I'm not big into the graphics but some folks are. Kind of curious if this logo offends the aesthetic sensibilities of people.

All depends on the image your intent on portraying.

To me this new logo looks like a small town/village welcome sign. I give it a thumbs up.

Needs a couple of bullet holes.

Agree with the a little huge (in height) comment...

If it could possibly be stretched out to fill the right side it would be superb, but looks great now! I love the way the sign looks.

Good suggestions!

First, I'm going to go with a smaller logo for a bit to see what we think (it's 1/4 the size of the first one I tried).

Second, maybe somebody has an idea for how to fill in the rest of the header. One possibility is to take BisonGuy's photo of the cheerleaders running with the N, D, S, and U banners and making it monochrome except the letters. Or maybe we could tile a selection of photo-shopped images of Bison-related stuff. Another thought was that I could take a horizon shot of the area in God's Country (i.e. Mandan), center the sign, and have the prairie and buttes be the background. I don't like having the background be too green and/or yellow (I've done that before and it gets to be too much).

Third, I will develop a "stealth" mode. This software allows me to set up different styles. Right now, i've just got the one style scheme but I could develop a second. That would allow us users to either stick with the Bisontastic style or go with a generic, stealthy one.

And, yeah, I was aiming for the "town sign" feel as the metaphor lends itself to Bisonville.com status as being just one small village in the overall Bison Nation - a nation that includes BisonInsider.com, GoBison.com, BisonSports.com, the Bison media blogs, etc. You know, with that motif, making various fake highway signs of other bison sites and putting them into a background image might make sense...
