Tagline

Get The Horns

Include this tagline in my logo.

Yes

Describe who/what this design is about

Our target audience is similar to Barstoolsports.com or Deadspin, College Humor, etc. Mostly young adult males, ages 16-30. We want to blog with a "bad attitude" and pull no punches. It's supposed to be funny, opinionated and informative. We want an "angry bull" that conveys power.

Industry type

Blogging

What kind of design are you looking for?

Character

How would you describe the effect in your logo:(Check all that apply)

Masculine
Cutting-edge

What colors would you like?

Black and white is preferred, but if a combo of black/white/red or black/white/green looks good, we will use that.

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

We are looking for a distinct, sleek look, but also something a little misty/hazy/smoky possibly. We definitely DON"T want anything cartoonish (like the Chicago Bulls, etc.). And we DON'T want just a plain outline like the University of Texas uses. Future projects may include putting this logo on merchandise (clothing, pens, mouse pads, key chains, etc.), so we want it to be simple but recognizable. We could go with just the head & horns look, head profile, or full body, whatever looks good.
