Logo: a Shortening of Logogram From Gk. Logos "word" + Gram "what is Written."

We want/need a logo, professionals have offered help and we’re going to take it. To play nice, we’re asking for the B&B’s opinions. It’s not a contest, though the winner will be given a prize. PriceWaterhouseCoopers isn’t going to drop by and certify the results and hold us to a winner.

It’s fine to not like something but at least be considerate of the people who contribute their time to this project. Please don’t flame the artists or the site. Them’s the rules.

    I think the best so far is jpdttaclogo2. I think it could use some slight changes, though. I'd replace the sword with a torch, as we come to this site to be illuminated, not to destroy. The artist may want to experiment with shrinking the lady by about 15% - 20%. moving her to the lower right, and see if he/she can't fit THETRUTHABOUTCARS.COM in a continuous arc around the upper left of the circle/tire. Also try experimenting with maybe some basic spokes inside the circle/tire. My second choice is ttaclogo2, though I'd pick a slightly darker shade of gray.

    Of course, I vote for my own (ttaclogo), but in the interest of fairness, I also like the ttaclogo2 though I would remove the ".com" Perhaps this is just a reality of growing up in the internet age, but I find it unnecessary and redundant to put ".com" at the end of any logo. I would venture a guess that most large internet companies would like nothing better than to drop the ".com" as easily as they have dropped the "www." in the past. As more people become familiar with the internet, the prefixes and suffixes are completely unnecessary. Think of how you refer this website to your friends. "I read something on The Truth About Cars the other day...." or "Did you see what TTAC was talking about today?" The ".com" is superfluous.

  • Analoggrotto Clean sweep and unanimous victory for the world affluence engine of 22nd century : Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. Toyota and Lexus, for 120 years of history have not been able to capture the zenith superlative status of Hyundai Motor Corporation the most awarded, decorated and revered automotive corporation in the history of historical. Featuring best ever, first ever and greatest ever e-ATPs the Hyundai Genesis Kia lineup is posed to become the envy of every country club, ivy league college and fortune 500 corporation in the world. I've been taking a roadtrip in my loaner Elantra N, visiting colleges from east to west, elite universities of higher learning to inspect their parking lots. WHat did I find? Leagues of Genesis models, outnumbering Lexus 3 to 1. When I interviewed faculty and staff at these places of greater learning, their response was unanimous : they chose HMC for the ATPs.
