Thanks Jim - I really appreciate the post, I know you're busy with travel & rallies... Listed above are just two samples that I'm playing around with. Group/Forum feedback is always appreciated and helpful. At the end of the day I'm trying to design a product that owners can be proud of... As I get further along in the design process I would love to be able to use this group to help make important product decisions. Lets see how this first pole question goes...

My first initiative might be to freshen up the logo... What do you think? Please vote above.


Excited to see the results.

Thanks,
Tom

Well I goofed meant to vote for 1 and hit 2 by mistake. Two looks like a cow skull to us. We have a 2008 BH and it's close to the same as two, so something fresh would be nice.

I like the #1 graphic better than #2, but the word Big Horn is way too large... Actually, I like the Mountain Graphic on the front of our 2012 Big Horn better than either of these two.

A logo design change always keeps the product line fresh. However, going to far away from a previous recognized logo may not be the best thing.
I voted for #2 as it looks like something I recognize.

I like number one, but number two looks more classy. More like Landmark. Trace

As a graphic designer I agree with Dave.

The first one is too much of a departure, the second is not a graphically pleasing shape (sorry, I see something that is not a bighorn head.)

Erika,
The first design puts me in mind of the first Elkridge logo. The Elk in the mountains.

Yes, I can see that a little bit. I never cared for the change from that, to the side-angle head-only Elk. Now there's no elk at all.

A silhouette of the bighorn in the mountains is a big departure from the graphic head only.


Another thing is that I'm wishing it wasn't ivory background. Maybe silver/gray/blue tones, something not used on other lines.

Thank you everyone for the votes and feedback. I know from experience people tend to really like what they have and are generally afraid of what something "might" become. I can also tell you from experience that given time, most people like the "new" versions better than the old once they've had time to digest and look at the package as a whole. I would think most people weren't too excited about the new LM365 but today it's sold more than ever and is the #1 selling Luxury fifth wheel in the business. Im really hoping that Bighorn sales take a similar path only on a much bigger scale. Just so people remember. This is what the current graphics look like. This head doesn't look much like a ram either. It's hidden behind the logo which makes it extremely hard to read at a distance. Driving down the highway for instance and passing it. I want people to be able to read it. Not recognize it - those folks who recognize it are already are owners - I want "new" prospective customers to read it and then do research on it. I also am looking to freshen up the design and to use the actual logo inside the coach and on marketing material to create more brand awareness. I want something that looks great as a backsplash, a spice rack, headboard, toilet seat cover, embroidered on a bath towel or on a Heartland Owners jacket. These are examples - not necessarily things I'm doing :)

Have you thought about placing the logo on the MCD shades

That's a new one... I haven't but I do have an idea for the Day/Night shades that I'm pretty sure people are going to love. Sorry for deleting my post but I couldn't get my computer or my phone to download the picture of the front cap graphics of the current Bighorn. I will repost once I can figure that out...

Talk soon,
Tom
