Asking for Assistance with New Logo

[AlwaysLearning]

Hey guys,

So I'm wanting to create a new logo design for my friend's shop because the old logo that was created, just isn't working any longer. I've attached a copy of what the logo looks like now. I've also attached a copy of a turbo because I'm wanting a turbo incorporated into the new design somehow. My first thought was to incorporate an outline of the turbo.

For colors, I would like to stay with the orange and black but font is not set in stone.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Gavin

Just a little bump for some help. Thanks.

To get help you need to post what you've done so far.

I'm not even sure where to start honestly, so I don't really have anything. If that's where I need to be then I'll get to work and try to have something. Thanks for the input.

Why not use the banner for inspiration?

If you really want to use the turbo, you might put the HIS up where it says garrett, and curve the Motor Sports around the bottom of the tubular portion.

And get rid of some of the excess of the turbo, maybe even use threshold or some filter to make it a shape. Or you can trace the shape with the pen tool and use what portions you want or just use the outlines.

Here's an idea. I had some time to play. My method uses the pen tool for a few things but there are other ways that can get the job done. It's a simple task to remove the bg since the edges are so well-defined. I just swept the quick select around it then masked the bg away.

I'd love to write out a tutorial for you. Let me know. Oh, I'm not saying that this is what you want, lol. Just throwing out ideas.

I guess what I'm really kind of looking for, and I apologize I wasn't specific as I don't think I even knew "exactly" what I was looking for, is something like this. This is a logo for AMS Performance. Maybe use a cartoony looking turbo and possibly have the name of the shop coming out of the turbo. There could be like a smoke effect as the H in HIS comes out of the turbo and then the rest of the text fades in after that. The AMS logo is just to give an idea of the turbo being cartoony or like an outline of the turbo itself.

Nope, you totally didn't explain yourself.

Mind you this is a request, so don't go insane.
But, I will hand you my shot.

This is for the idea/concept you came up with.
The turbo is from the image you posted.
