Create a logo contest - 2 free pairs of pegs!
« on: November 14, 2008, 06:25:30 PM »
Infinity is back! You can see their new pegs on flatlandfuel.com. Infinity needs a new logo though. Create one they like and you get 2 free pairs of pegs! Email your submissions to flatlandfuel and share them here if possible. Other forum user's opinions of your logo will help to decide the winner. Hint: they want something that has a distinctive enough "i" that they can use that alone on products where there is not enough room for the whole name.

Cheap too!!

What else do they have in development?

Yes, the price is awesome. I am heavily involved with this Infinity project and our objective may change over time. For now though the goal is quality products at affordable prices without stepping on the toes of other companies in the flatland community. For example, there really are no quality knurled pegs in nice anodized colors for under $35. So that niche has been filled. Future products will be stems, pivotal seats and posts and maybe an inexpensive and simple frame. Only time will really tell. Do not expect the lightest weight parts or the highest tech stuff but the products from Infinity will be good quality at a reasonable price.

i wonder if their frames will come with lifetime warrantees again. (and that the company will last long enough to honour this).

i have to say that I bought one of the old infinity frames, and it was probably one of my favourite looking frames. if it wasn't so heavy and i wasn't such a chump, maybe i'd consider building it up again one day...

hmm...

(P.s. i am definitely interested in the possibility of a new infinity frame... if its under 5 lb.)

Pat, Does this have anything to do with Rybak's current frame? (or even better yet Chris Young riding again? lol ) (Yeah Pat, Chris Young L.E. parts! - Brite White! )

No, nothing to do with Rybak's frame. Chris Young is no longer involved but I am stoked he is riding again!

I loved the twisted/chain link idea!  It would be great if there was a way to get that to come across with a lower level of detail. 

Typically, you need to be able to translate a logo into simple vectors for use in black and white, color, cut vinyl, etc.  I always start out with simple one or two color design that can be tweaked later with gradients, drop shadows, etc.  Most of the clients I've ever done logos for have required this.  If you design a logo to be too complicated, you limit your options as to how you can use it later.  IMO, of course.

Here's another simple and quick idea, this time using Serpentine.
