New SwingStomp logo (and it was never a tambourine)
Posted by Mark A. Heinz at 5:53 PM Central

I’ve always liked the SwingStomp logo, but to many people (mostly non-drummers) the image of the drum in the logo looked like anything from a tambourine to an “industrial pipe”—pretty much anything but a (bird’s eye view of a) drum.

Well, my longtime friend and drum tech Ryan Malaschak, creator of the original logo, has done a brand new version, and he and I agree that it totally looks like a drum now. What do you think?

Here’s the brand new logo:

Here, of course, is the old, original logo:

    The new logo looks great. The only thing that would make it better is ninjas. But I think those don’t really fit with your concept, do they?

  2. @Marsha: Drumming ninjas? Yes.

    You know the old saying about ninjas, right? “There’s no movie that couldn’t be improved by adding ninjas to it. Even movies that already have ninjas.” I think that’s applicable to pretty much everything, including logos.
