SSDB Custom Thread!!! -
benji - 24-08-11
So, with so many ideas floating around and the hijacking of a help & requests thread (sorry Ollie). Deano and myself will be bouncing some ideas back and forth and we need your input.
We are looking for simple logos that can be reproduced for many purposes, like stencils, web page and boxes.
Please share your ideas in images or word...
I'll kick the thread off with a logo that can be messed with but starts from a place where I think the site is at...
The home of the adidas supe..
The stripes could be moved, zig zag, whatever you can thrown in...

Dunno, will give it some thought. .if your going for the house maybe a bigger roof so its more graff arrow styles, and be interesting to see how different it would look with the crinkle cut lines rather than straight 3 lines, but I'm at work so my brain is like mush at the moment if I think of anything constructive I will sneak back on here

Would it be too intricate/hard to maybe add a Trefoil into the house or possibly a trefoil shaped house??or are we pushing the copyright thing abit??
My only other idea would be to maybe have laces (mirror overlap styley or something) over the house or coming out of the house?? possibly coming out of the door and looping up into a trefoil shaped knott?
Or maybe even a shelltoe'd chimney or shelltoe'd roof of the house instead of a conventional "house" ??
Just alittle twist i thought although still not confusing/un-simplyfing i hope the whole home/house of the superstar thing just maybe making it alittle more easier to see its relationship to adidas and superstars??

Think that would probably be too much for the copyright, this is a fan site but can see adidas not being too pleased with their logos being lifted, I think it nerds to be something more linked to the forum rather than an alternative lfo that adidas would use if that makes sense? Mainly for legal reasons but also if its too"adidas style"
bloody phone frooze... yeah so as mentioned above..... if its too adidas in style it may come across as if its a fake, or a design made by adidas which it isnt its adidas & SSDB.
maybe a logo that looks less "adidas" would be best?

Three fat lace tips in a row? I'm toying with the embossed lace eyelets saying superstar db instead of adidas superstar just worried it would look like a polo!

I really like the Home of the Superstar theme and the 'graff house/arrow' idea. I'll get involved and see if I cant come up with something along those lines.

Would be good if the logo could ne easily simplified so stencils can be made for air brushing.
Look forwrd to seeing SS.

Now, don't laugh at me L33t mspaint skillz, it's only a rough attempt, just to get an idea. It's all a bit wonky and the letters are terrible but if people like the basic premise then I'll try and expand on it a little and do a proper version.
