A friend is starting a business selling used Ducati's and I'm building his website for him. The first thing to figure out is a logo. Check out my first pass and let me know what you think. Go ahead, hurt me.

and I'm a graphic designer. logos and logo bugs

are my favorite. that's nice and clean. simple is

good and the Italian colors will get the attention of

the interested people.

well done!

I attempted to design one from scratch, pretty difficult and expensive, so in one of my foreign travels I picked up a logo from a similar business in the yellow pages and copied, changed it a little bit, and it looks great! do not re-invent the wheel is my motto, I don't think anybody is going to chase me down.

I think the color bands are a great idea. I think the sphere beneath should be the earth or some other color though. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I have to be honest and say that when I saw the first two, the first thing i thought of was .. bowling ball warmers.

It's a good design though, this response is not negative. Just want to give good feedback.

Someone else mentioned changing the "bowling ball" to an earth. I'll play with it. Thanks for the input.

IMO the shadow appears as an after thought. It may would be cool for the web, but it is not integral to the design. The rest of the logo is the company.

It was an afterthought. The only time it would be used is on the website, and I did it just to show a little more depth. I figured on the top two choices basically being the same.

Thanks for the opinions, this is what I'm looking for.

I would suggest not thinking about choosing one. I'd use 1, 2 and 3. 2 where you wan't to add attetion. 1 most everywhere, including print. And 3 works for smaller size and constrained area (ie small but horizontal has more space). All three keep the identity in tact IMO.
