I think it should be 2 rocks with solar panels attached to them. Not sure how that’ll shrink down and look on a shirt. Maybe put one of those recycling arrows around it.
A picture of a sun with shades on and a huge-ass grin, with the sun talking on a cell phone and/or listening to an Ipod
I’m gonna throw up the only two ideas, as lame as they are, here to get things going. 1. A rock with shades, and 2. A spherical happy sun face guy, like one of those new smileys, with a thumbsup.
I just had a new idea. Two Rocks… one with the word ‘Solar’ on it and the other with the word ‘Power’
If you want to make it a pun on the name, you could go with a solar powered guitar
I think the best logo, though, is simple — no images like guitars / rocks, at most a solar panel or two. “SPR” cascaded, perhaps (each letter, in 100% opacity, followed by the rest of the word in a rather translucent shade, is slightly lower than the previous one and a fair amount to the right), with a big solar panel or something next to / under it?
You could also just have something like a rock plugged into the sun with Solar Power Rocks above it.
sun with a socket for a face
or one of those stupid b&w letter-only logos. you know what i mean, those white ovals with a black border and then obscure letters in the middle that everyone who is “in” is supposed to know what they stand for, a la BRC.
I said it should be a pair of rocks with solar panels attached, dick. Also it should have a green arrow circling it.
Planet earth, cartooney, glowing slightly, with the words Solar Power along the top on a curve, and Rocks underneath with a bolt of lightening through the O? I’ll be-a posting a picture when i get round to making it, (I’m at work at the moment, designing an advert as it happens
)
I like solar power and ipods so figured I’d throw my hat in the ring.
Here’s an image I came up with for your logo.
Hope you like. I also came up with a slogan I thought was kinda catchy, sunplug your life. use solar power (sunplug in) and unplug your life from other sources.
ChrisSF, I don’t think they want a dick in their logo.

guess I can’t display images in comments.
How about a rock star sun dude? A la 80’s hair band, of course. This’d be fun for a t-shirt.
I’ve done some basic work on a sun-socket to illustrate what it could look like, but I’m no good with GFX. Here it is, though.
Sun Socket Sketch
I’m having a bit much trouble drawing a guitar, though, but you get the idea — guitar amp into sun, guitar rocking out on the other side of the logo. Text in the middle.
All right, I combined my ideas.
It’s a solar powered guitar plugged into the sun, with a somewhat-cascaded “Solar Power Rocks”

As you can tell, I’m not a professional graphic designer.
the sun playing a guitar with the words ” solar power rocks” in musical notations coming from it’s mouth.
Ok, here’s my idea: a funky sun, who’s rocking hand doubles up as an electrical plug!

This is a sun inside a sunflower replacing the ‘O’ in ‘Solar.’ I hope you like it!

Let me know if this is the direction you want to go with and I can refine the image. The guitar could be another image or perhaps the caps SPR.

Eh, thought I’d submit a quick sketch. It definitely could (and should!) be improved, but it just shows the general idea.

I was thinking today about a sun with big muscles and a gold chain….
basically, using standard square solar panels, spell out solar power rocks in shaded panels, pixel style.
The letters themselves are in beghilos: upside down calculator spelling. You will have to improvise for a couple letters. Caps can be spelled like that:
SOLar pOwEr rOckS
it’ll look nice, which is what you want.
the only one that’ll look good on a t-shirt is the one with the devil hand rising in the center of the 4 point sun… it rocks,!!!!!
Hi, here’s my entry idea.

Here’s an idea…
<a href= Solar Power Rocks logos

Here’s the link to a quick initial thought.
Another entry. This can be cleaned up a lot.

Oooh iPod Nano . . .
Awesome!
Just in case the embedded doesn’t work:

I could give you a high res Illustrator file if picked which would be scalable for all purposes. Wish me luck!

Definitely some good concepts here…

Another take. Contests like this are always interesting for me since I always find I like a blend of different logos more than any single one. It’s also interesting to note that any logo can be tweaked any of a million ways, making it hard to know if you’ve covered your bases. Still, it is great practice.

Small tweaks to the previous set. I put the variations together vertically rather than horizontally to take up less page space and added a bit more color.

I should also add that my designs are free to use, regardless of how the contest turns out. This blog is working toward something worthwhile, and that deserves support, even in the form of some simple doodles.
What, no Sun-as-Elvis attempts? I would have thought that idea would have been a lock.
and the winner is?
Thanks, Bill!
