Can’t we come up with something that we would all use as a nice logo around the site and on our custom group buy flashlights?
Good idea… Let me see if I can come up with something… will update…
IIRC there was a poll a few months ago where we voted for the logo for a BLF GB light, but it hasn’t been used in any other Custom GB since.
Maybe a contest to choose an official BLF logo for the website and future Group Buy flashlights?
It has been tried before, and opinions were too varied to reach consensus. That is why the group buy X6 has fairly neutral lettering.
But I'm all for a new try, perhaps some great logo comes up that gets widespread approval :-)
I actually love the font and style of the BLF X6. I’m fine with a logo, but every attempt at a logo I’ve seen has come out looking really cheesy and a bit juvenile. Most flashlight companies just brand their lights with the name, no logo.
Maybe we can all put some ideas in here then let sb have a look and decide?
He recently updated the main page banner. I don’t know if he’s looking to use a logo at all…
I still like this one that I modified from someone else’s suggestion. (Sorry I don’t remember who did the original one.)
Maybe stylised fonts like the convoys?
As a professional designer...let me offer this suggestion. Choose a symbol apart from trying to stylizing the font. Stylizing a font can be troublesome to find consensus.
There are quite a few flashlights out there that would look better without lettering. Or at least with more subdued lettering.
Edit: I was not referring to Dale’s playful rendering……………but then again…….
I can make a couple different logos depending on your ideas or liking. Suggestion/ideas/opinions are welcome.
This is the first design that came to my mind, notice the B has some resemblance with a flashlight bezel.

That was the original one, I think, but from which member, I do not know. I do know it has never gone over well, since everyone has an opinion of what they want. I think no logo at all would be better than the Mfg logos on everything.
A more “techy” version of the original BLF logo. Straight lines means a clearer finish when laser etched.
As OL said it’s hard to agree on a standard logo to be used in ALL groupbuys, but maybe with enough feedback we might come to something nice?
Type A is Streets Ahead of type B here
I like B so far, but it wont matter what takes the win, unless it is engraved and back-filled with glow-in-the-dark ink…. or UV fluorescent ink.
THEN it will TRULY be the BLF logo…… MWAHAHAHAHA :evil:
….not bad. nice anamatronic look to it. Needs four legs though.
Only etch the black parts, the rest ano-colored

If you know what you are looking for, it looks cool. If you don’t, it looks like two bored emoticons
On this type C, could you put a dollar sign where the lower right corner “stripe” is, to make it look like a “cut the dollar” stripe…
Sort of a “slash the cost” look?
A different logo, not to be used in flashlights, just a quick skecth.
