We have a logo for KevinIole.com!


The new logo for keviniole.com, with the Las Vegas skyline as the backdrop.
When I set out to build this site, one of my goals was to have a professional looking logo. I simply did not have the talent to create one myself, but I knew what I wanted.
My goal was to establish an identity that connected me and Las Vegas. I was hoping to have some kind of identification with the fight game, since that is my full-time gig at Yahoo Sports. I had difficulty envisioning something I liked that had a fight-element since if I made a logo that included a ring, or a cage, or boxing or MMA gloves, it gave off the impression that I was a fighter, which I am most definitely not.
As I thought about it, I thought about adding the Skyline of Las Vegas to my logo. I have lived in Las Vegas for half of my life and, thus, the city is closely connected to me as well as to the fight game.
I also wanted some sort of classic logo, and two came to mind: The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. I like the colors and the clean look of the Dodgers’ logo better and so I thought that I wanted to loosely base my logo off of it.
I advertised on Craigslist for someone to design a logo for the site and had hundreds of responses. I was overwhelmed not only by the size of the response, but also by the talent of the people who responded to the ad.
I wound up hiring Sin City Multimedia, a small company that, as it turned out, is located less than two miles from my home. I expressed to Brooke my thoughts and she turned it quickly into what I had in my mind’s eye but could never do.
I like it quite a bit and I hope you do, too.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the logo, as well as anything about the site, in the comments section.
Sin City Multimedia did an awesome job. I am going to use them to make my logo. The magical PhotoMirror. https://www.facebook.com/magicalphotomirror/
I like it Kevin for all the reasons you stated above in your article.
super clean and since Iām a lifelong Dodger fan I may be a little bias! š
