i was thinking of a simple (1 or max 2 color) logo
no gradients, so its easier to use for stickers

one option would be
the tdm silhouet (like the forum logo) with the name going around it (bikkembergs (sp?) rip off)

or something more "tribal" would be nice
as long as its EASELY recognisable

I think the top left logo with boike looks monkey (though I dunno how many colours that is). I am an artist but it doesn't involve graphics or anything with skill, and no its not con.

I have designed commercial logos and things before (and I'm a marketing bloke) so I don't mind adding my tenpenneth worth. Frankly I would use the KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) principle and not bother trying to create anything new when the site already has quite an attractive design .

I think combining Guiness' and DaveB's ideas could work - keep the round shape and wording from guiness and add Dave's "Carpe TDM" bit in the middle (loose the bike altogether) - I'm of the opinion that shadow always looks a bit naff though, and is difficult to get right in stickers...

What is the common feature between all the models MKI, MKII and 900's? is it only the yamaha logo and the positive gearbox?
