What do you think about this new ToB logo?

Blood without the bolts/nails is the one!

Aside from the blood/nails. The text itself looks pretty kickass as well.

I like the blood without the bolts logo the best.

Me too.

Thanks a lot for everyone's input. I'm definitely listening to what people think and I'm gonna ask for another revision.

me too. I think that one looks really cool.

Nice!

Nailed it.

I like the one in the first post. Cool logo.

I like it!

MORE BLOOD!!!

I like the revisions. One other minor change I would make...make the blood look more like it's dripping than splattered. But that's just me. You could post a thousand revisions and we'd still comment. Your band, your logo.

It's fine the way it is.

If there's one thing I know, it's approval by committee (large group) sucks and can drag the process into oblivion. When you're happy, go with it.

T-Roy is wise.

I like the nail idea... but I think the blood one (without the nails) looks cleaner visually.

The lettering design kinda reminds me of Bonded By Blood's logo.

I like them all!
Do agree that this is the better nail. The first ones looked like railroad spikes.

But yeah, go with the gut. You guys have to like it.

Logo looks cool, TOB. I wouldn't have noticed that the nails are identical ... or looked too modern. At the end of the day, it's all about artistic effect. I liked all the samples you posted here.

Cool logo. Sonce you have the spikes in there... may I make a suggestion?

Make the blood trickle down the letters from the top where the spikes are to the bottom of the logo. You have the 1st O in "BLOOD" filling up from the bottom. So having the blood run down the letters into that 1st O would make more sense when using the blood on the logo. Just an idea man.

I don't really care for it. Again, it's the same image of a spike repeated three times, just rotated. And less blood is less striking as well.

I appreciate everyone's suggestions, but the last image I posted is the final version.

I didn't want to add more blood because it starts to look gory and some of the folks in this band are sensitive to that sort of thing because they have kids and stuff. Also, lots of dark blood makes the logo less discernable when it is smaller on the screen. You can't hardly make out the letters. I started with lots of blood and scaled back until it was legible.

Thanks again for everyone's opinions. There were some good ideas in this thead and just because I didn't do what someone suggested doesn't mean that I don't think they had a good idea.

Preview of the new album's artwork coming before too long ...

You work that hard on the logo, how long until you approve of a final of a song?

It takes a long time! I don't do that by committee though.

But hopefully it's all worth it in the end.
