So we were talking the other night about updating our NCB logo and possibly getting a banner some time down the line.
Our current logo is used for the twitter account and looks very basic so if any members have any ideas for a better one please feel free to post ideas here.
Our current one is .....

All ideas and suggestions welcome.
I actually quite like it but I think we could change the following:
- He should be drinking a pint
- The font is bit thin
I can pass it by my brother if he has time. No promises
I sent it on to him. We'll see what he says. Does anyone have a link to the top hat guy clipart?
I've nothing.
asked mr google.

I should really get back to work...
The only North County/Fingal emblem I know of is the black raven. Maybe that could be fit in somehow.
Needs a round tower
Maybe a raven about to crap on the hat?
or
Raven about to swoop on the pint
Seriously tho' the font is a bit modern - should be more like our original scripty font - but heavier
@simon; Whats with the round tower?
The good news is my brother has agreed to do it but we should agree on the design first and he can give a decent version of it
I noodled on some stuff:
1. With script
2. With more modern font
3. With raven + tower
4. METAL!!!
What if we'll make raven to sit on the edge of pint?
Something like that, but that's just an idea.
You probably meant it as a joke but I definitely like the Raven with the laser eyes. It's fun.

Most identifying landmark in Swords
I quite like this
Can the Gent and the Raven both have laser beam eyes?

Simon, this is for your own personal collection
Love the Raven on the Top Hat!, (looks like the bigger critters that feed in our back garden).
As I'm still a Malahide blow-in (only been 24 years) whats the deal with the Raven?

Symbol of Fingal. Think Fingal Ravens GAC
Frickin lazer beams !
Okay. Any preference on which one? Add your votes here:
Guy in a top hat drinking beer
Raven on top hat - Pheeel
Raven on pint -
Something crazy -
Something not too crazy but something I'm not seeing here (examples please) -
Guys, raven on pint was just an idea. Would like to that done properly :)
@Pheel: Can you 'put' raven on the pint image u've used and post result here?
Guy in a top hat drinking beer
Raven on top hat - Pheeel, Will_D

Rotate raven 180 degrees and have him looking downwards at the pint? Maybe with the Raven's laser beam?!
More lazerz!

Raven looks drunk looking downwards. But for all the 180 degree raven + laser fans...
Thats Fekin IT!
Its got everything:
Posh North side gent, The Fingal raven, Posh Gentlemens Club type script, A colourful pint of NCB Gold medal beer. and a Effin Raven laser etching (or 3d printing) the new Logo!
This gets my vote!
So as we are deciding a new club (banner) logo - isn't it time we got the Tees and Polos printed!
C'mon lads :/ Raven on top hat but NO lasers.
I know that we're homebrewers but can't imagine us with that banner at RDS/Alltech or anywhere in public.
First impression is important and would prefer to be taken serious.
Raven, top hat, beer, but the font ??
A bit thin for printing in my book
Did a quick mockup here of an alternative idea. Colours and image can be changed, it's more of a layout thing.

Definitely more the direction I'd like to see it going.

Looking good, but I would replace grain ear with hop cone.

Yeah that's great. Probably more how a logo should be.
We can save the death ray Raven for a T-shirt
I'll do another pass later. I can make the central text look like it was put on with a rubber stamp and replace the icon with the NHC hop cones and grain maybe?
That will look great on a banner.
I think the National Homebrew Club bit will be incorporated on all the banners as Boiler Plate text!
Plus the Raven design will make for a killer Tee.
Wacky idea: Instead of the Raven lasering our logo what about there is a pile of all the other club logos that he is destroying
Whoa Haaaa Haaa !!
On seconf thoughts lets leave it as is for the Tees!
I'll see can I get a decent raven outline to use. If we pick that as the central image theme, then there is a logo, banner and Tee that can be made, using it as the central piece.
Ok here's a raven and the NHC logo. I can't seem to find a nice hop cone outline to use, but if I did, I'd put it in the center in white.
When you take out the national homebrew club text, it really screams a slogan should be there instead. Anyone feelign original? :)

@molc: Can you try with NHC in white? Gif with transparent background attached.
Ah yeah, that looks the business. The source I had looked poxy when I inverted.

That looks great!
+1 for the rabit with the big balls!
As for colour:
Malhide's signature colurs are Gold on Black
And NO its not just the rugby club that uses those colours but the sailing club as well. Any other references for Black/Gold = Malahide?
A combination ?

Any update on this?
I have just posted here:

We need to finalise a logo and get it to Thomas
Bit of a bump. We can add this to out agenda for next weeks meet.

Sadly that doesn't narrow it down either!

The philistines on the NZ flag shortlisting committee couldn't handle lazers either.
This is not going to be the new NZ flag
