But, how politically correct is traditional grip?
Perhaps we should use the fabled double trad grip so it'll actually be "matched" and trad at the same time.
Or maybe show three hands instead of two, with a left trad and a left matched.
...or maybe not.
I think Chris' is killer actually. I'd like to see a different font but that's about it. I don't think the skin drum is a problem but hey, that's me. (the modern drum shop logo comes to mind)
Chris, if you can throw one up with a modern drum I'd love to see it. I know what you're saying about it looking a bit odd. (I think)
You could probably get about the same effect with a minimalist looking (metal?) piccolo snare...

How 'bout the front of the bass drum that everyone chipped in and got for Steve-O in place of the bodhran? Sorta like a tribute to the contributing forefathers...

...just my 2 cents...

Howz'bout surrounding the "O" in "HOD" w this icon-face: [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] making the motuth the "O"...NO, you say?! OK, then; make the "O" the L eye of this one: [img]wink.gif[/img]
Oh, never mind.
Sorry, "WOOPS" ["Waste of Operative Posting Space"]
...if you made the two vertical lines in the "H" two drum sticks, would that be too pretentious? [I'm def of the opin that we shouldn't make the "D" a sideways big-grin...] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

Hey guys, was away for the weekend... yeah I might try playing around with this logo some more - maybe trying to fit a snare in there instead... will have to take an original photo most likely. Cheers.
Here's my attempt...

LDguy, very cool idea... I like where you are coming from with this. Just need to build on it a bit. I might snag a shot of one of those yamaha drums for my HOD logo to replace the hand drum.
To pick up a dead thread...I was thinking about these logos and decided to goof around a bit. I'm not a major designer, but pretty handy with photoshop. So I took Chris's design and modified it with a snare (though the spacing around the "o" is slightly whacked). Then I started messing around with/ recombining a few things. These are just sketches.
OK, Steve, don't ban me for using your pic...the guys all wanted it... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
HOD logo with piccolo snare (ends up not looking very piccolo as I had to stretch it a bit):

With Snare and Drumgod hands (kinda cool):

Those aren't spirit fingers...THESE are spirit fingers:

And then there is the classic "Steve Dot Head" version (or the "what-Steve-sees-when-he-plays-silver-dots" version). I'm sure Tony would have played this drum if he were alive:

OK...all in good fun, just wanted to spark some further ideas on this stuff. Any of these can be taken and modified ad nauseum, or manipulated by someone more skillful than I.
Steve, thanks for putting so much hard work into this board.
