We are finally getting my Monday-through-Friday show up and running. But can you help me decide among these graphics, which were designed by a graphic designer friend?

    I vote for Number 4. It has a clean design is easy to read.

    none are particularly bad… i think i like 3 and 4 the most, followed by 5

    Hi Tom. I´m a professional: none are any good. Either they are way too aggressive or they´re cliche, like some drawing program. Define a goal in a sentence, what the thing should do. Besides being unique.

    $4 is the slickest and classiest, and therefore best.

  • http://www.facebook.com/ken.hamner1 Ken Hamner

    #4 is the best so far.

    #4 is classy and simple, IMO the best of the lot.

    Consider this…

    The Liberty Classroom is all about a [virtual] classroom wherein many subjects are addressed. Although “Tom Woods” name is in the logo (appropriately so), it is the subject that is prominent, not “Tom Woods.”

    The message is clear in the logo: this is all about liberty, not Tom Woods. (Tom is just one of the people making it all possible.)

    From a marketing perspective, this is powerful.

    Now look at the proposed logos that are the subject of this article, and ask yourself what the logos say this is all about.

    Perhaps the question to ask is: “what am I trying to accomplish.” The graphical answer to that question is the logo.

    Harry

    P.S. Please ask your webmaster to correct the grammar in the Liberty Classroom logo.

    If #2 had a different background color like blue with ‘The Tom Woods Show’ words in dark grey or black then I think I would like that one the best. Instead though I think # 5 is a good one with #4 not that far behind.

  • Jordan Sheppherd

    I vote for #1.

  • Jordan Sheppherd

    Ok. Maybe, #4.

    number one

  • Lou Bjostad

    #4 is the friendliest. The others look pretty harsh. #5 is barely legible. The Tom Woods web site has a classy look, and none of these five logos are really up to the same standard.

    Hey Tom, I’m a graphic illustrator.

    I feel that number 2 is the strongest design (number 1 is a close second). But do you have to use such pink-o Commie red and black? I’m kidding! Numbers 2 and 1 are overall strong designs, they’d look great as stickers or buttons as well. However, you may want to consider using a a different color scheme, I personally enjoy the navy blue you have on your TomWoods.com page, or a warm gold color could work nicely also. But if you love the red and black, it looks fine–just a suggestion.

    Designs 3, 4, and 5 are lacking authority (the good kind)–I like the concept of number four, but it gives me a ‘David Letterman/Jay Leno’ sort of feel. Although great symbolism with the microphone in number 4 and the ‘peace’ gesture in number 5.

    Congrats on the show!

    Again, I work on designs and logos professionally, let me know if you’d like anymore advice. joshua@presentcreative.com

    None of them do you justice.

    #3 looks like sirius radio logo.

  • Chris

    I find #4 great also: a bit retro, quaint, inviting, warm, unassuming, fun, on human scale (to take words from your video link),
    Some the first 3 hava a bit of 1984/broadcast from planet X about them

  • Chris Branco

    I like #4

  • fling1

    I see a lot of folks prefer #1 vs. #2. I like #2 better. Not as much clutter in the image, and the cropped face adds a bit of urgency, I think. Agree with folks who think the colors are a little stark. #4 is my second choice.

    #4, and but I agree something more current and not red & black would be best.

  • John Mann

    Of the five, I would go with number 4 – though I’m sure someone could come up with something better. I quite like Kevin Pulley’s first design.
