Logo Design Brief

Hello,

I need help with a logo for a new website called MTBqueen.com.
(MTB= mountain bike).

The site will be about all things related to different types of mountain bike riding, from cross country to hard core downhill and freeride racing. The site will target female(all ages) who ride. Yet, I don`t want the logo to look to girly.

The girls are tough and look to challenging themselves.
Mtb is also about exploring the mountain and new trails. MTB is not used on roads. That is not real MTB:)

I don`t want a text only logo. If the log only has the words MTBqueen in it, people wil have to read the name to understand what is about. Some might also not understand what MTB stands for.

Because of this I wan`t mtb related thing in the logo. So that people can just look at it and know that this is a bike logo and that this is a bike logo targeting girls.

There must be a crown in the logo.

Thanks all for you logos so far! Keep em coming!

Update 13nov. Some useful links for inspiration and heads up on what i`m looking for/not looking for.

Many of you are using a rider on a MTB. I have seen know that in most situation I like it best when there is no rider, but only a bike.

Remember that the bike has to look like a MTB (and not a racerbike/roadbike etc). MTB with fat wheels (knobs) and a frame that is tick and strong.

A pink bike, if you can`t make it look good, would be nice.

I know I said colourful, but I don`t think more then 3 colours would work. Best is maybe one or two dark colours, and then one bright. Bright is usually the pink:?
If you could make a green work with the pink, black/grey, pink and green would be cool. I`m not sure if it would be to much though.


Ses the links under for inspiration for the bike (I especially like the first):

When it comes to the letters, it’s a pluss if you can make at least one of the letters bike specific. A lot of you make the writing a bit boring.

See inspiration under for letters:

To little pictures for my taste, but I like this way of writing the logo name as one part of a logo:

Letters that form into trees( just make the trees more vector art)

Hate the writing here, but a crank arm is a cool thing to use in a logo.

I wan`t something special:

Here are some unique logos I like (not all girl specific though, but just to give you an idea):

Clever use of a sign to promote the danger side to downhill mtb.

I like the idea with the mountain and wheel, 2 in 1.

I usually don`t like a logo fully covered in colours, but this might be an exception.

Something like this could also work, but instead of city you need the mountain and forrest, and no rider in the picture like said earlier.

cartoon style might also work. Here is one example. But make more out of it though. This is to simple. I like the look of this style. Cartoon make the logo look more fun and mtb is fun? cartoons must be in this style though. The 3d look.

Look and feel

Each slider illustrates characteristics of the customer's brand and the style your logo design should communicate.

Requirements

Must have

• crown.
  The crown should have the main focus in the logo. Best is probably to make it the biggest element in the logo. And not hide it away.

Nice to have

• I tried to make my own logo. Se picture uploaded. Don`t let it decide to much how yours will look.
  
  3D effect is nice, depends on your design.
  Cartoon style could be fun.But not childs tv cartoon, more like ice age the movie cartoon or see description. There is a link there with a cartoon like image that could work.

Should not have

• No faces. If you want to add a rider make it vector art, so more like a figure.
  To abstract art.
