Design Text

Viking Hydraulics

Tagline

Include this tagline in my logo.

Describe who/what this design is about

I have a completely new and very innovative product in the hydraulics industry. It’s a completely self-contained hydraulic cylinder, or rather know as a hydraulic actuator. Basically it’s a unit that pushes, pulls, and lifts very heavy things...

Industry type

Manufacturing

What kind of design are you looking for?

Symbolic

Abstract Mark

Illustrative

Character

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

Cutting-Edge

Clean/Simple
Sophisticated
Corporate
Modern
Industry Oriented
High Tech
Retro
Serious
Masculine
Youthful

What colors would you like?

The product will be have a brushed aluminum finish to it. I would like colors which go well with that, and have a very modern and clean/cool feel to them. For my website, I was thinking of using colors like an ice white, brushed aluminum, a grayish-blue, and/or perhaps a darker charcoal black...but I really think the logo design will determine allot of that..?

How many colors do you want in your design?

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

This is not totally set in stone, but I think it would be very cool to have an abstract/contemporary Viking face; either front or side profile, to the left of “VIKING Hydraulics” or “VIKING Hydraulics.com”. I would like “VIKING” to be more emphasized than the “Hydraulics/Hydraulics.com”.

Since this is a product that moves things…or has to deal with motion, I think it would be cool if you could kind of capture that in the logo design, if that makes any sense..?

Here are a few links which I hope will help better explain…

Draft #168 (idea of Viking Ship) by pgdesign is derived from #161 by Lungfishdesign, therefore has been taken down.

Everyone, Thank you so much for your submissions so far, we’re really excited to see all the interesting concepts that are starting to evolve. Please try to keep the design in more of a “corporate/clean” look…rather than getting too cartoonish/gamey. Our logo will not only be used on our business cards, website, mailing flyers, etc…but also laser-etched into our products, so working with 3D effects & various colors is cool, but it would also be great if the design profile would still be recognizable when burned into a steel or aluminum plate. Feel free to use “.com” in the design as well and being creative with the font(s), as long as it still has that structural/mechanical/corporate/clean look. Thanks again for all your help!
