+1 for the original 'uncoated' treatment. May I suggest, for what it's worth, that 'The Shaving Room' appear on one line? At the moment the word 'room' appears a bit lost. Perhaps if it ran along the top (with or without spaces between the words), we would have room at the bottom of the blade for a strapline: something that sums up TSR's raison d'etre.
Eg: " Home to the UK's wetshaving harcore/faithful".
Lovely stuff, though, antdad. I stumbled upon this thread late last night and got quite excited by the idea of a logo. So excited, in fact, that I picked up pen and paper myself. So, if you'll pardon the intrusion at this late stage, here's my effort:[attachment=0]
My original thought was a take on Jamie Reid's iconic 'Never mind the bollocks' image of the Queen's Head with a safety pin through her nose. I thought about adding a thick shaving lather to Her Majesy's face, and replacing the line with 'Never Mind the Cartridges'. I was aiming for an idea that referenced the UK, wetshaving as well as the healthy irreverance and sense of humour found on this forum. Feeling it was a bit 'too' anarchic, I ended up at the above postage stamp idea. Colours could change to a red background and a navy blue Queen's head (white lather stays the same, obviously).
Naturally, 'TheShavingRoom' would appear on there somewhere, too. And perhaps the strapline I mentioned at the beginning of this post.
