SkateXpress Rollerdance Crew

I am proud to present the SKATEXPRESS ROLLERDANCE CREW of which I am one of the founding members!

We have been skating together for two years already, rehearsing at first in the streets of Paris. But the real boom happened when we entered the Collective La Main who restored La Main Jaune, the one and only Parisian roller-rink, which closed a dozen years ago.

It is not the first time that I mention SkateXpress in this blog, but this time, we are going public! We were waiting for our visual identity to be ready. Now that we have an awesome logo, our website and our Facebook Page are available for us to share our experiences, our performances, our passion of skating and our creativity...

So, this is it! Our final logo.

We had had problems with our very first logo because it showed the Eiffel Tower in a circle -- which reminded too much of the Paris Saint-Germain logo. We had a provisory logo (the same but without the circle... which I found was still perfect: sober, symbolic and efficient).

 

I'm summarizing a bit here. But finally we had a contest, for which we received lots of logos. We then had a vote, after a first selection by the head of the association. And this is the one that was selected.

 

Personnaly, I liked the old one far better. This one is too common. I think that somehow it's a shame because it doesn't reflect anything. But on the other hand I just don't care because I'm here to play derby, not to sell t-shirts with logos on.
