/diy/ - Do It Yourself

[Anonymous No.79390]

Im starting a small etsy store selling Wooden tobacco pipes like these and i need someone to design a simple logo for me. something i can print onto labels to put on my boxes and my store page. The name i want is "Gerudo Valley Pipe Company". The labels are white and 2 inches x 4 inches and will be placed on light brown boxes. If someone could post a design i could use, id pay you like $10. Its a small project.

tl;dr I need a 2"x4" logo that says Gerudo Valley Pipe Company ill give you $10 if i like yours.

I'd really love some help on this.

[Anonymous No.79400]

Idea: Your name in the shape of a pipe. Font would resemble that of stonerrock bands, you catch my drift.

I can't do it cause but you can have the idea.

[Anonymous No.79409]

are you fucking kidding me? $10 for a logo?! you are a joke.

i cant believe i'm giving you advice but seriously, with an etsy store you dont even need a logo. just use the same clean font on all your packaging, banner etc. look at some classy shops on etsy and see what fonts they are using (helvetica & courier are popular). you can even get your shop name made into a rubber stamp online (vistaprint) to stamp onto your tags.

use your head. a decent logo from a real designer does not cost $10, and your request is just perpetuating problem for penniless designers who'll do anything for a quick buck

wouldnt the wood and varnish around the bowl get all scorched and burned and shit when you're lighting it?

i don't know where you got your head wrapped around but designing logo takes at least $1000.

that being said, here is a $10 GVPC logo.

As a pipe user I can't imagine that would give off a pleasurable smoke. Unless it's for perfectly legal herbs and not traditional pipe tobacco. How much are they?

[OP No.79589]

>>79463
Yeah, i'd send you a pipe if i used it. Im looking for something minimalist.
>>79428
I'll enjoy the $5 off skyward sword coupon they email me for being a fan. At the very worst, they would ask me to change the name.
>>79409
Good advice, but im not looking for hours of work here. I need someone with 10 minutes and GIMP. /diy/ always has threads about making money i just thought i'd put up a small offer.
>>79426
I use hardwood and stain with non-toxic linseed oil. A bic isnt a real problem for red oak.
>>79553
Im looking at prices on etsy and im thinking maybe $10 + $5 shipping. I found some nice gift boxes at Uline im going to order this week and i thought i may offer to woodburn a letter or symbol for a dollar extra.
>>79476
Im buying all of yours, dont you worry about that.

[OP No.79592]

I like this one. I may use it if you could change the font of "Gerudo Valley" to something else. maybe bold helvetica.

[MASTAHDESIGNAH !/pH/IX2jH2 No.80312]

Let me explain my work, it'll probably be hard to understand at first because of all the stylized images.

First of all, the black bend in the middle is obviously a pipe. I made is a minimal as a pipe silhouette can get, it'll be the symbol for what you produce, yet accustomed to the easthetics of the modern age.

Beneath, the slogan. Short, powerfull, catchy. No nonsense, use the pipe! I replaced the O with a stylized and minimal tobaccoleaf, since that's what you smoke in a pipe.

On top, you company name in bright red. Demands attention without becoming tacky. I'm sure the urban youth will appreciate this one.

That'll be 10$ please. Give me your email.

This is clearly the best logo of all. OP better pick it or he is a jew

[Anonymous No.80332]

When I see a logo, I think mass-produced by a large corporation. You're a craftsman, not a corporation. You want to give your product that hand-made-with-skill vibe. And nothing speaks classy and hand-made like a text-mark made by a wood burning branding iron.

OP may not want to use this one but I expect every other pipe manufacturer will want it on their products.

[Anonymous No.81619]

What kind of wood do you use? What kind of stain/finishes? And lastly what kind of tools are you using? I've tried making wooden pipes, they've been successful, but they just don't look too professional. How do you get a perfect rounded bowl? Sorry for all the questions but you seem like you know what you're doing considering you're getting a logo made for you and I'm a noob with any type of woodworking...

[Anonymous No.81833]

>>81619
You need a good hardwood for pipes. Briar is preferred, but it's also a bitch to find, so i used red oak instead. I stain them with natural linseed oil and polish with natural beeswax. The tools are basically a drill press, a scroll saw and a belt sander. (all Harbor Freight, and all work well. HF Drill presses and angle grinders work so well.) My bowls are flat-bottomed because I use a Forstner bit. Pros use a modified paddle bit which is cut to create a round-bottomed hole.
basically, know your grit.
