What do you think?

[The_Weekend_Report_Guy]

Hey I think most of you saw me here or there already if you didn't here is a quick presentation:

I am Pablo, me and my family moved from Belfast to a cute little town/small city outside of Malaga some 3 years ago (already??) and I been playing with the idea of creating a cycling tours guide company since before we moved already.

I am not making too much noise I use this as an extra income but with the idea of one day doing it full time. The place where we are is perfect for cycling surrounded by mountains and only 25 km away from Malaga city, Fuengirola and Marbella those are nice places if you like to lay at the beach all day but for cycling has the crowded small street full of tourists that are not fun to ride. Google Coin and you'll see.

OK, too long, my son created a logo for the company and want to see what everyone thinks?

Will go on my business card the day I make them... e-mails, letters and all the possible uses.
One day I am planning to make a kit as well and this would go big on the back and small on the heart side at the front...

i like to dream..

Looking forward to your feedback!

Thank you..!

Might be my weird visualisation but the first time I looked at your logo I saw a swimmer before I saw a mountain & a sun (if that's what it is)

A swimmer?

That I didn't expect. Yeah you know Malaga is sun and mountains. Can't fit the tapas & beer in the logo...

Too black, too red. It looks far too heavy, if that makes any sense.
Tone down the red, change the sun to yellow.

Good luck with your venture.
I've cycled in Southern Spain and the Sierra Nevada region and it was spectacular.

It crossed my mind to use the DO NOT ENTER colors for the logo.. where the mountain and name is.

Did you manage to go uo El Veleta? Ski resort, highest paved road to cycle in Europe. About 2 hours from home by car. Worth a trip once a month when it gets warmer.

A swimmer?

As said just my initial visialsation, the sun is the head, the downhill on the right is the swimmers arm, & the uphill on the left is the swimmers back.Also agree with the colours,

Royal Mail used to advise against deep red envelopes as reading black on red is hard on the eyes. People won’t read the text when scanning across your logo.

Never make any customer facing artwork hard on the eyes.

I like the artwork concept, I think once modified with the feedback it will work well. If I was you I would look at reducing the amount of text - that is once big block of text to read in one go.

Best of luck with the venture - it was great when you can follow your dreams.

I will be riding from Seville to Almeria in May, looks like fantastic cycling country.

Interesting data..! Thanks!

The idea of this logo is to catch the eye.. You know like when you see a brand name logo and recognize it right away. But now the more I look at it the less I like the dark red background.

Get people to quickly view your logo ie 1 second. Then ask them what it says. Try it with other logos and you’ll see the difference.

It is..! Be ready for some "interesting" climbs when you get close to Almeria, avoid busy roads and early starts.

Around here is dangerous to start too early, people party till 7 in the morning and is not unusual to find a drunk person driving. I almost never start before 8.

Also bring plenty of sunblock!

Thanks for the feedback!

Yep. Did Pico de Veleta. Amazing 30 mile climb (and descent). Went there in 2016.

I like the design but the red is too red, the mountains look like a swimmer (as @Phaeton said) and the text is difficult to read. Perhaps use a silhouette of a wheel for the sun? The words should also be separated by spaces to make it understandable to non-English speakers. ¡Buena suerte!

Glad it wasn't just me, I was beginning to worry

Did you get all the way to the top??

Lots of walking involved... Very messed up the last km or so.
