It's a little slick for a barrel racing horse trading site.

You need to hint at country-western without really doing it.

Or you could go all the way with a distressed wood type font. Which might be cool.

Take a look at Font Mesa, or Letterhead Fonts.

Seems like it needs to be "modern retro / historic".

Excuse me if I'm being a little naive here, but what is the swing taggy thing in aid of?

The tag thing instantly reminded me of Best Buy.
I agree the 2nd one has more promise than the first.

But if you are going to shadow drop your lettering - you should shadow drop your tag. It looks a bit weak at the moment. I'm not sure in having the .net in the tag itself. I think putting "classifieds" in the tag would work better and bring better definition to the main focus without being overbearing.

I think you need to develop the concept a little more.

The shape does look a bit like best buy. What about doing something a little more old school with the design. I remember your website designs to be very tactile. What about a style something like this where the elements make an oldworld sign?

look around in the gallery, there's many examples.

I believe she put the tag there in meaning of "sale" aka referring to the sale of items through her site's classified ad listings.

Ok rip this newest version apart pls:

D-Frag · 04-08-2010, 09:39 PM

I like the newer version much better, my only concern is the horse looks a lot like a pig. In fact, the name "running" contradicts with such a "porky" horse but I get the whole tie in with a piggy bank

Audentia · 04-08-2010, 09:42 PM

I thought it was a pig before I read it and looked closer.

It's much better, like the .net on the tag, but your horsey needs some work.

popejoydesign · 04-08-2010, 09:42 PM

Well...for the name "runninghorse" it doesn't look like that horse has ever done much running lol. He looks squatty and fat...kinda like part horse, part troll....it looks a lot like a piggy bank to me as well.

I liked the #2 of all of them actually...it has promise just needs to be developed a bit more.

Totem-Media · 04-12-2010, 05:13 PM

The horsey isn't running and it looks like a little piggy (bank, I know).

It's a good concept, though. Keep working it.
