It's nice apart from the 's' - looks a litle strange!

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

Maybe HoTWire could modify the 's' slightly so it actually looks like an 's'.....

hmm There are a couple of designers on the board (tho several are "only" web designers so care nothing for the traditional craft of typography), should we have a look at it too!!

I ran my own design agency in London Just sort of testing the water with the logo at the moment,.. I prefer the more rounded style to the angularness of the last one. As people point out though the S is a little rubbish. I can modify it so it is more s like though. All comments are being taken on board

Aah, the gentle art of typography. We used to draw our own typefaces you know, with pencils! I've got a putty rubber too, and some french curves (ooh she's lovely), Cow Gum, tears in my eyes over a lost art, I'm gonna stop now OK.

I like the new logo! I'm not going to say anything about the 's', because everyone and his budgie already has!

Okay my brief to myself : Logo has to be something that works in black and white as well as colour. It needs to be readable as a car sticker (which is where the old one didn't work) It needs to be suitably retro looking. The brand displays the web address as the logo ,.. thus the two capital Rs ,.. www.Retro-Rides.com as opposed to Retro Rides or www.retro-rides.com Needs to be supplyable in a scalable vector format, or as a very high resolution bitmap image. And that was my brief to myself You guys are welcome to have a go,.. as 104ZS pointed out we have a bunch fo designer types on here. I'm going to continue to fiddle with what I have.
