A little redundant to have a helicopter on a helicopter. You don't see airlines with airplanes in their logos, or computer companies with computers on their logos. Besides, if you wanted to have limos, you're gonna have to change the logo, otherwise you have a helicopter on your limo.

I like the idea of #2, but in my humble opinion... Neither

Good point tin but.....

Check out SouthWest Airlines logo
http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2006/01...rlinesLogo.jpg

I think simple is better...

Logo 1 is too much helicopter. If it was outlined, it may look better. Logo #2 looks like a kid went crazy with a sharpie and is not clean. I think we should have a contest for the logo. Lets see what kind of logos you can create. Who knows, HostGator may end up using your logo.

I think #2 is much cleaner than number one.

Still, I don't understand...HG is starting a helicopter rental service?

Yes, is there a reason HG's name is not involved?

I think #2 is best. The modernn art approach looks more sophisticated. Classier. Also, the way that the "P" is worked into the design in the second logo seems more ingenious to me.

Exactly, why buy a helicopter when you can buy a helicopter company

El Dos! I'd much rather that be on promotional material than the big red one.

#1 would look okay if it was redone in a well illustrated vector format.

#2 looks cool too, I like the style of it

Both need work though IMO.

#2 is off in the right direction. #1 is far too generic. Some clean up and non transparency on #2 would push that far ahead. people would remember it.

GatorTrey's version was the absolute best.

On a related note, I might be getting my helicopter pilot license this year. (watch out below!)

Tin for the lose.

I know a lot graphic design students that would probably tackle this if there was a contest.

Make some requirements and make a post for the contest, probably get some good designs out of it.

Is anyone going to answer the whole Paradigm thing an the no Gator thing?

Some sort of deal HG got on the helicopter as long as they advertise for Paradigm helicopters?

Perhaps it could be another business venture, like VOIPo.

it's pretty difficult to judge a logo without having some idea of what you want to represent with it...

YES exactly! And it looks as if the subject is being avoided as to why it is a logo for HG's helicopter in another companies name?
