I need a logo for my website and thought I would get some good ideas here. When I came-up with the name for my site I was thinking that the Warthog Pen was a play on a pig pen and an ink pen. I need an idea which could be drawn which Incorporates both these elements....ideas??

Dice,

Why not use of the Original\"Horatio \" in a Hog pen background with a \"Briefing board\"in a pen of Young \"Horatio's\"(Newer versions) and getting their (Schooling) from the \"Original Horatio\" (Boss Hog) .
Have him holding a \"Marker \" that is a 30mm round, with some type of caption on the \"Board\".
So it's a school room (in a Pen)basically with the \"Older Hog teaching the Younger warthogs\"
Remember \"Looks aren't everything, The \"Others\" might get to the \"Dance Faster\" and but when it counts the \"Ugly and Well Hung\" are the Favorites of the \"Dance\"

So Just an idea

I like what goose said, and maybe add all or part of an A-10 behind the instructor hog?
My only other idea would be similar to Goose's but have all the hogs as pilots/maintainers standing around in their gear BSing in the pen. Then for the writing pen part of it, have the name of the site in cursive/script style writing, having just being written maybe with a little bit of a curvy line leading away from the word and the pen still touching the end of the line on the \"paper\". And make that pen an A-10, with the gun being the tip of the pen.

My $.02....

A company logo is a personal thing (if you are running your own business or website, anyway), so I wouldn't presume to tell you what your logo ought to be, but I CAN tell you some things I've learned about logo design in general, based on my own professional experience:

1) A good logo quickly communicates who you are and what you do in a single glance, even if someone has never heard of you before. (Really big corporations can break this rule because everyone already knows who they are)

2) The best logo designs will conform to a roughly square or circular area and look good even when reproduced at small sizes or in one color. (This insures that they can be reproduced anywhere in any media). Likewise, decent logo art is ideally produced as vector art (so if you decide later you want to blow it up and stick it on the side of your van, you can, and it will always be ready for any color background).

3) Simple is better.

4) Always keep the original art or file that the designer gives you (if someone else makes it for you). You would be amazed how many jobs I have done that involved redrawing someone's crappy jpeg logo art as an EPS file so that it can be printed. It is always money the company could have saved if they had bothered to keep their original artwork in its original file format and size. But they always manage to lose the file. Gotta love the paperless society.

5) 90% of the time spent on your logo should be thinking.

Good luck! Let me know if I can help...

Thanks for the inputs guys, all great ideas for sure and good food for thought. I'll let you know what happens...

Fritz,

Is the expert, he makes his money on it.
I guess what I was thinking more of the line of a \"Full page\" or \"Litho graph \"

I don't have an idea now?
