Oh, okay! What do you think of the flaming letters logo?
Mm, a little hard to read, don't know if outlines would help with that or not.

Coincidentally looks very similar to the Dirt Devil Racing logo I made a long time ago. Dang, a really long time ago, I must've been using Windows 95.

Well then, back to the drawing board. Whatever the new logo is will get shrunk down to the size of the current one. Any suggestions?

No ideas at the moment.

Shrink that one down, it may look different. Or switch to all on color? Yellow? White? I dunno. Just now began thinking about it. :)

It's completely separate from the banner, so there's completely different dimensions I've got to work with. The particular font I used here is called "Hellbent".

For the color behind the lettering, I used a stock photo of flames. I wonder how that metal with the diamond shapes on it would look? I don't even remember what they call it. If you know, pass it along and I'll look for it.

Tread plate? Diamond plate?

Edit... Or diamond tread plate.

You might be asking the wrong person, maybe everything is hard for me to see. ;)

On a lighter background maybe, or outlined in a light color. I'm viewing in dark mode btw.

Edit... I switched to light mode and the flame logo was easier to read. Both actually.

I might mock up about 5 more or so, and then I'll put them all together and get some opinions on those.

And here's a variation of that same one:

The top one looks nice. White lettering for the "VN" part would increase its visibility and readability against the current banner. But since we're getting a new banner soon anyways we might as well just wait for that. How does that sound? Nice work, Darkness. Looks good.

Thanks! I submitted one for them to test, not knowing they were going to test it HERE. Here's another one that I think might look good:

I think the one using the original font looks good. Maybe chrome it up
I've tried to identify that font with no luck. It might even be custom-made. I've submitted it to several font-identification sites and came up empty-handed.

In researching "Vulcan", I discovered that it was "...the god of fire including the fire of volcanoes, deserts, metalworking and the forge in ancient Roman religion and myth." Our bikes were named after a god of fire and metal!! I think that's rather bad-ass!

In making a new logo I have to keep in mind that it must be easily visible above the banner. Speaking of which, the contest expires in a few days, so get those images in!!!

I'm afraid we're going to need an extension on filing. 😁

Yes from Roman and Greek Mythology. That’s also why the OEM accessories where called “Fire and Steel”.
Personally I like the side cover logo as the banner, but the site is called “VN” not Vulcan, but I do like that font. What’s the layout? Are you looking to put a new logo on a collage of member bike pics?

I mean, we could extend it a little bit if you need more time to get some good photos. Maybe take a handful (at the highest resolution you have) and then pick one that you really like.

If you want to submit a new graphical logo to go in the banner, please do! I only saw one submitted earlier by @CombatWombat, but the text he put into it would be invisible that small. It can be placed in the collage banner. Probably in one of these two circled places, or both:
