Lotusguy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Another big fat thumbs down from me. I don't even know where to begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypersomniac Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's certainly not my favorite. As other's have said, the font is problematic for me; neither font is good for my taste. I like the cigar/flag. I'm sure you will get it right and make a lasting design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsion Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Like the majority. I like the current fez wearing monkey logo and not a fan of the new design but appreciate rebranding is a big task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cohiba Stevie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Cant say i digging the logo prez... I dont particularly mind the motif (cigar and smoke), but the colours and font arent doing it for me. The font makes it look like the logo of a kids tv programme. Just being honest bro.

leftimatic Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I don't think I would buy the ashtray with the new proposed logo on it. I like this version the way it is and will be purchasing 2 of these once available. Yes. The gold the black the green the orange. The smoking monkey. That is an ashtray for a smoking room. Flag shaped cigars and red white and blue colours. Doesn't do it for me. I had better pony up and get an ashtray and a couple mugs before its to late.

RickHendeson Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I certainly don't mean to turn this into a political debate, but aren't we in effect supporting the Cuban gov't. by purchasing their cigars? I despise Castro and his thugs as much as anyone, but I don't think that's an effective argument for wanting to change the logo. Just my two cents and, again, not trying to ruffle any feathers. The difference is, to enjoy Cuban cigars, you must buy Cuban cigars. Displaying the Cuban flag, on the other hand, is wholly gratuitous. Given the political connotations, I was really surprised to see it featured in a proposed logo for FOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fly Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 In the end, it is up to Rob how he brands his business. I for one do not care what the logo is but only the quality and service FOH provides which is above anyone else I have done business with in the past. Do what you want Rob. I am here for the long haul! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuma Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Love the org monkey ashtray. Your new design at first glance for myself anyway I thought the smoke was a tail and because the fonts are very large it took me a while to figure out what I was looking at! Why not use something from Oz like a roo w/cigar or roo with tabac leafs or back drop of drying barns with mountains with roo sticking it's head out the barn. Bring some Aussie aspect into the picture in a discrete way. Monkey can be replaced with an iconic image of or about Oz. Don't have to get rid of reference to Cuba just incorperate it in say as a part of the back drop of the view. A million ways to do it. Just make it like a watch that you don't have to struggle to figure out what time it is. At first glance it should reach out and grab the viewer. This can be a really cool and fun project for you. Good luck Rob...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLB03TT Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Not diggin' the new logo at all. The Shriner capped monkey is beautifully original. I hope PITA isn't climbing up your ass... The new logo is a step in the wrong direction, far too mundane. Keep The Monkey, Keep The Monkey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perkinke Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I love the monkey. But that said, I don't like the log in the first post but as has been said before the version on the tea cup looks decent. Maybe trade the "o" in FOH for the monkey?

RolandHeadlessGunner Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hmmm, I much prefer the monkey. If this design is being considered: 1. The O in FOH is distracting. Try other fonts. 2. Repeating Friends of Habanos twice isn't working. 3. The smoke looks too ribbon-ish. I know...everybody's a critic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scroats Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I hate to be negative, but I had an immediate dislike when seeing it. Front and center is the stylized foh. I don't think the font works. It covers the cigar design. The double friends of habanos is awkward too. Maybe change the bottom to "fine cigars" or another moniker. When considering logos, I prefer something more abstract, simple, something a child could pick out. Even though you certainly aren't marketing to children, am easy to spot, easy to identify logo serves a business very well. Look at the amazon arrow. The coke bottle.

mcease022 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I like the current logo a lot. Not a fan of the new one...I agree with the comments of the others. Not to mention I don't like change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Presidente Posted February 13, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2016 The Monkey in Fezz isn't going anywhere i appreciate the input! We are runnng out 3-4 logo's over the coming months to use with the new forum (upgrade from currrent version of Invision Board). it is a major upgrade. We will be updating the shopping carts a few weeks later. FOH monkey is front and centre as our FOH logo. The new logo's will be used for Tshirts etal alongside the original FOH logo (members can choose). All sweet 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
