TTAC Logo Submissions Pt. 5

by Robert Farago

Published: January 20th, 2009

It’s the last day of our redesign our non-existent logo competition, and the submissions have been anything but non-existent. TTAC’s Best and Brightest have answered the call in force, demonstrating a depth of design talent that would shame, well, me. Given the volume of submissions, I’ve created a new category: Logo Contest (no points for creativity there). If you want to see all the designs, simply click on “News,” then select “Logo Contest” from the drop-down menu. As promised, TTAC’s crack [smoking] staff will wade through all the work to find the ten or so that best encapsulate The Truth About Cars’ editorial stance and style. Then we’ll put them to a popular vote. Meanwhile, thanks to all those who invested their time, effort and passion into this contest on our behalf. (Excluding the selfish gene theory.) It’s reassuring to know that the TTAC brand resonates so well with its owners.

These have all been great submissions, every one of them. You guys have quite a challenge in deciding the best. I really like the approaches that includes some subtle humor or fun in the spirit of what TTAC is all about... that's what I was going for with the license plate logo. #16, #25 and #36 all put a clever twist on the "uncovering the truth" concept that I really like. Having said all of that, my favorite of this set has to be #39. It's beautifully rendered, subtle, and stands on its own as a graphic. It would be just as effective in the TTAC brand colors, as a black and white (or grayscale) piece, and would look really cool on a t-shirt or ballcap.

1995 SC I will say that year 29 has been a little spendy on my car (Motor Mounts, Injectors and a Supercharger Service since it had to come off for the injectors, ABS Pump and the tool to cycle the valves to bleed the system, Front Calipers, rear pinion seal, transmission service with a new pan that has a drain, a gaggle of capacitors to fix the ride control module and a replacement amplifier for the stereo. Still needs an exhaust manifold gasket. The front end got serviced in year 28. On the plus side blank cassettes are increasingly easy to find so I have a solid collection of 90 minute playlists.
