I know this is too narrow-but I suggest 'Indoor Rowing' I always have to clarify what I do-not rowing on the water-just inside. <br /><br />The thing is that you also make oars etc, so 'The Rowing People' gets my vote.<br /><br />grams

It's got that nice verb/noun double duty, but it's not the most graceful swan on the pond.<br /><br />"Rowing" is beautifully simple. Too bad it's such a visual tack-on to the logo.<br /><br />

IMO, the "Concept2 Rowing" logo looks like a typo - is there something missing from the message? That is one of the reasons why I voted for "the rowing company". It simply looks better. <br /><br />And I also like the fact that by using "the rowing company" tag, Concept2 is being clearly defined (in my mind) as a company that specializes in all things related to rowing. <br /><br />Is "Concept2 Rowing" a company, a rowing team or a fan club? The message is too ambiguous IMO.<br /><br />I wonder what it would look like to switch positions and text size of "The Rowing Company" tag with the Concept2 logo? <br /><br />plink,plink<br /><br />Mark<br /><br />

I could go with just rowing if it was more like the logo from the rowsport website.<br /><br /><img src='http://www.rowsport.com/images/menu_images/concept2.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br />So that Rowing isn't just hanging out in the middle of nowhere.

I like the simplicity of "Rowing" and the artistic balance show by Malor with the above logo.<br /><br />Paul Flack

My two pence. I prefer Concept Rowing simple and encompasses the whole concept of rowing.

I voted for 'The Rowing Company' because I was worried with the balance of the 'Rowing'.<br />However, Malor's solution removes that concern.<br />One request, whatever you do decide on, please, please, please don't let it be 'Rowing Solutions'<br />I'm heartily sick of the over use of that phrase on this side of the pond to cover anything from cleaning products to houses

I also voted for 'The Rowing Company' because I it look better.<br />However, Malor's solution would now get my vote!

This solution addresses my biggest concern about simply using "Rowing." Using the lines helps balance the logo.<br /><br />I'm still partial to the longer phrase though. I think that whoever suggested, "The Rowing People" had a good suggestion.

I don't like "Rowing" because it sounds like a company slogan rather than a description of what the company actually does. In other words, someone who knew nothing about the company would probably look at that logo and think "okay, so this is a company where everyone is pulling their own weight, working together towards a common goal, just like rowing. Gee, I wonder what they do?"<br /><br />"The Rowing Company" is much less likely to be misinterpretted.<br /><br />Dave<br />

Why is Concept2 called Concept2. ?? Where does the 2 come from, was there a Concept1 at some time ??
