* Ok, so I tried to take all of your suggestions and put them into a nice, entirely new logo. This one is classic-looking, with an urbanish feel, bright colors, sharp lines, iconic yet with some subtlety. Oh, and I stole a piece of that classic "hitchhiker" picture from Wikipedia, but I figure that since it's from Wiki, it's public domain, right?  [[amylin]]

amylin is working on a logo for the Hitchwiki. Please give your comments, or if you can do better: do it! Guaka has been changing the general layout a little bit. Feel free to discuss.

"Hitchwiki Classic"

  • Ok, so I tried to take all of your suggestions and put them into a nice, entirely new logo. This one is classic-looking, with an urbanish feel, bright colors, sharp lines, iconic yet with some subtlety. amylin
I like this, very seventies, very cool :) Guaka 03:16, 17 December 2006 (CET)
yay. that's what i was going for, more or less. :) amylin

The 70's were really COOL! Cheap drugs, free sex, uncrowded waves, easy hitching, cheap petrol, abundance of well paid casual work... Ahhh, take me back there, please. Luna1

Man, I wish I were around then :) amylin
I think its a bit too sexy. I mean, my bet is that the user population of Hitchwiki is mostly male so to put a young female in a hip swimming pose as a logo is a bit not-so appropriate. Why not a similar image with a boy in a tight pants? Or a couple? Also she doesn't have her hand fisted, it thats a verb. -- Eiland 15:21, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I like the slogan, except with 'extend' "Extend your thumb, expand your mind"

Logo 3

I agree. But amylin's a bit stubborn.
And Joe says "it's terrible", I will strike through that. Guaka 03:45, 8 December 2006 (CET)


  • amylin says "Joe, design a logo".

I like the unique quality, but it seems better to have a clean, easy-to-print, vector-based logo... something that is iconic and represents hitchhiking to all types of people. Good effort so far, amylin. I will also throw in a few image-based ideas later this week. Salman 12:44, 11 December 2006 (CET)
