New KMFC Logo
 
 

For quite some time it has been apparent that the current KMFC logo has outlived its usefulness. It was created at a time when the club's primary interest was stunt flying but now it no longer represents the activities of the club.

The club's first logo was a simple two-dimensional drawing of a stunt plane using red and yellow colours.

The next logo drawn in 1997 maintained the traditional colours but had a three view of a iconic stunt aeroplane, Bob Palmer's Thunderbird.

I have drawn up some suggestions for a new club logo with these things in mind:

  • Maintain the historical colours but make other colours available that will be a better colour match on club member's aeroplanes
  • Maintain the Thunderbird as the logo's aeroplane. Bob Palmer visited our club in 2000 and KMFC's largest circle is named in his honour.
  • Make the logo more interesting by making it look as though light is coming from below and casting shadows across a 3 dimensional border.
  • Create a design that could also be used for first, second and third place medals.

Once we have settled on a design (or designs) I can put them on the club web site where they can be downloaded.

 
     
 

I should point out that although I have an interest in design I'm only an enthusiastic amateur. If anyone has any ideas that would make the logo more interesting, it's too easy to make the changes.

 
     
  If you would like the Corel files, I can send them to you.

A round logo - It's OK but I think an oval-shaped logo is better.

This one has been voted out.

 
     
   
 

 

 
 

The same thing but oval-shaped - early opinion seems to favour this. This logo has been revised to include "Speed" plus MAAA and FAI to highlight our association with those two organisations.

Update: The red lettering turned out to be impractical once the size of the logo was reduced. Had to go to a more normal font in black

 
     
   
     
  Sometimes a simple transparent logo might be appropriate.
