so let it be written

Here is an edited version of the logo idea:

[Lightbringer]

How about “George”, so it’ll be less confusing to all my other lights?

[Chatika_vas_Paus]

I think that first version looks much better.

@DBSAR

Here is a rendering of a logo engraving i thought of recently, what is your thoughts?

BLF illuminator 18650

[Aleister]

Yes, good choice I could also troll my wife with that name… She calls for me (George), a lantern named George on an RC car appears in front of her, here, job done, now leave me alone

I want to vote for BLF LT but there is no option

[TheShadowGuy]

Missing BLF SkyLantern (Or, in Chinese, BLF 天灯 ).

SARLantern makes me think Search and Rescue Lantern… which is kind of neat.

[Yourrid]

My vote: BLF Lantern

Simple and easy. I definitely think we should use Aleister’s awesome logo

BLF Lantern… BLF LT for short

Just like BLF Gigga Thrower is GT for short

[Lightbringer]

Gotta confess, I saw that and asked myself… “BLFOLT??”.

[Coscar]

Seems like there are a lot of folks that like LT for a name but we have been told they want to avoid any conflict with the GT makers. Legally, I dont think there should be any problem …… I mean one is a Giga thrower and the other is a Lantern…… I mean look at all the different car names with Z or X.

I like joechina’s version of Aleister’s design.

@joechina

OK, my first try

(also my first try to post a picture on BLF, so can you see it? It can take a while till i get it. apload direkt)

Hm, here is a direct link

I used Jerommels GT Logo. He has the BLF from the Q8 logo.
So it would be consistent.

Does anybody know which font the text is?
This would be helpfull for future projects too!

I got the GT Logo from here:
Discussion thread GT logo
BLF GT logo discussion. - #8 by Jerommel

That’s why I like BLF LTRN. Different enough, but would still work well with that design.

Regardless, I definitely think there needs to be a silhouette of an old oil lantern somewhere in the logo.

Which name for the BLF Ultimate Lantern (see thread title).

Why, the BLF UL

Isn’t it obvious ? Although “ultimate” is pushing it a bit, BLF ULmkI maybe.

I like the stylised kerosene lamp in the middle, make lighting bolts flash out of the sides (but not in a Nazi manner).

[TheShadowGuy]

If I remember correctly, LT looks too similar to the Lumintop-produced GT, and this lantern isn’t being produced by Lumintop either (which could also be abbreviated LT).

Some members (myself included) Find “Lantern” to be a boring name anyway. I’d personally take just about any other name over just “Lantern.” This is also why there are a lot of Lantern-plus names that have been brought up, like Ultimate Lantern, Sky Lantern, and the various number + Lantern names.

DBSAR has a neat logo for the “BLF SARLantern” name, by the way.

I will draw up another tonight with a shorter name.

“BLF Shiny Maker”?

It’s certainly unique…

BLF Shiny sounds like a fun name if it came in silver. :sunglasses:

Of course, now I have an image of flashlight enthusiasts being drawn to a Shiny like moths to a flame…

Then mission accomplished.

I am amazed at how many votes that ” BLF Lantern ” got for the name. Even though some have mentioned a shorter name would be more practical. I don;t know how difficult it will be for the factory to produce the production models & etch the name on the lantern, i guess it will depend on them, as i’m unsure if the name etching detail level affects the final pricing of the lantern. Will have to wait for Barry to comment on that.
