New logo for my business.... opinions??
I’ve had a girl working on this for a week or so for my Class III, FFL business. I’d like y’all opinions on it!

I like it, catchy name and easy to remember, has a patriotic look to it and I really like the crossed “sporting” rifles. Is the III to represent your class 3? Not to fill it up but what about 2A under the AR. Good job!

Thanks guys. The III is actually there as a representation of the 3% ‘er movement... not the Class III part. I don’t think many will catch that, but it’s ok.

I, too, wondered if the III reps "Class 3" or does it rep the 3%?

I very much like 2012BOSS302's suggestion regarding adding a Second Amendment reference.

Also, what is special about the 15 stars? If nothing, then maybe you might want to consider making it 13 stars rather than the 15 that are there now, in reference to the 13 founding states.

Wishing you the best of luck on your FFL business, hope you make millions!


Thanks,

Very good idea with the stars! I like it. I’m ok with few people getting the “III” reference. It’s kind of a conversation starter.

I might just add something like a tag line under the logo that says “Shall not be infringed”, etc.

Check Gunboards.com.
It's a site specializing in milsurp rifles and their logo features crossed rifles.
Just saying.

Just saying is copyrighted somehow? Not sure what you mean.

Different rifles. I don’t see an issue.

I'd simplify it. Ditch the guns in the middle and just have the III.

Crossed arms have been used in heraldry forever and a half. You should be OK.

Something about the rifle in the back creates an optical illusion that makes it not look straight.

I don't know if it's possible for you to play around with the positioning and sizing to lessen that effect. The rifles are also not being held up at similar angles, or at least it doesn't look like it.

Hmmm, okay. I need to get it on my computer (bigger screen).

I like the idea of original flag 13 stars. What if the brown was blue sort of a Red White and blue color theme?

^^^^^^^^

Agreed - the brown/red logo looks "off" somehow.

In my opinion, 13 stars. Blue not brown. Adding 2A or shall not be infringed will just add clutter and distraction.

Is one rifle supposed to represent a musket?

Looks pretty good to me.
not sure about the 3 though

I see the empire's symbol from star wars.

To address aeteocles issue, the musket is too thin giving it the perception its further back. The thickness of the barrel should be closer to the barrel of the AR. Technically probably bigger since a musket ball is bigger than a 223. It does seem the angle is slightly off but I could be wrong.

Also not a brown and red fan thats just aesthetics and personal opinion. From a branding standpoint, i would pick red, white, and blue for a gun business, or perhaps the colors from my states flag. The 2A crowd is usually very patriotic so it only help it not hurts it.

I like the design but blue would be in keeping with the theme. I like her use of the firearms, going from the original liberty maker to the modern day.
