Logo design...

I've been playing with some ideas for a logo over the past couple months on and off... I want something recognizable and something that can go from artistic (flyers, graphics, etc.) to something classy for business cards (I plan on having 2, one like the current one I have, seen here & here, and another just black/white 'regular' card), letter heads, etc.



I'm more or less set on something like in the image below (very very rough draft) but may possibly include the 'D' for 'detailing'...



Anyway, I'd like some input from fellow members, web designers, etc. and feel free to throw up an edited version of my design that I can steal haha

I actually think the orange "L" only would work out just fine for you if you keep all things black!

Yea I'm trying to keep it black, white and a hint of red/orange here and there... I'll mess with just the L but I like the LA together like that for some reason...
 
Well for some reason I can only see the 2nd and 3rd one. The 1st one is always a little red "x" so I can't comment on that one. But I like the last one. It add's a bit of flavor. I can see it on a t-sirt or a ball cap easily enough. I think it's simple yet effective.
 
I think the LA logo looks too much like the Dodgers, and the LAD too abstract.



I'm working on some new signage of my own while I teach myself to use Illustrator. Let me see what happens if I plug LAD in there and mix stuff up a little bit, back in 10.

I'm not 'afraid' of it looking like the Dodgers logo.... it's different, different colors, and plus it will usually have the name text next to it... I like the LA logo because as Jake said, it can be very distinguishable but I'm still not set on the colors/design of it
 
The flip side of it being very distinguishable is that it could also be confused with the actual LA logo, and unless you're playing on that comparison I think it hurts more than helps. Just my opinion, that's all.

My colors are black, orange/red and white... and definitely no wings! Also, I want something a bit more abstract than that



Not bad though :bigups
 
Keep trucking, Ivan. Soon you'll think of something so good that it smacks you in the face.



And orange/black with my shield and wings wouldn't have been Dodgers anymore- it would have been Harley Davidson. :rofl

haha.. here's my new take on it (based on someone's design from another forum)



I want it to have the orange gradient like in #1 only on the L, and the rest to look similar to the 3rd... can it be done in PS... I wasn't getting it for some reason
