Man, you don't make it easy...

Green is my favorite color, but I love the allegory in V for Vendetta...

 

[po18guy]

No red, or RWB, so go green. Looks more legit - dare I say t*ct*c*l.

Looks like what I'd expect to see in a paintball shop. What's the proposed customer base?

Gonna be selling firearms locally is my goal

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Personally I don't care for either logo.
Both look too cartoonish / comic book like for me to take seriously.
Or as stated above...a paintball gun shop...not a actual gun shop.

I say the above not to be rude or to start a ruckus...Just answering the OP question.

I do wish you all the luck in starting your business...Always good to see another gun shop.

I am in the neither camp.

Oof.
To me, both scream "wannabee" and make me want to hurl.

I agree with much of the above sentiment. As a veteran and college art major, my suggestion would be to consider what type of attitude and/or message you want your customers to consider before they even enter the facility. The two options above are very deliberate and don't leave much wiggle room. Maybe consider something a little more like Sweden, where all their citizens are armed but they're still neutral. My local gun shop in Medford, called Black Flag Armory, is much like this. It may be helpful to look at their mission statement, as education and understanding are part of their goals - along with an armed populace. Just my .02, good luck with your endeavor!

Same. Looks like some kind of gamer tag or something.

serious answer to legitimate question;
a successful business logo needs to catch the eye of a wider potential customer base while identifying its core focus;
Neither example works for me, in either image or color.

Good luck.

 

[JustSomeGuy]

I'd be leery of going into a business with either of those, but I do wish you the best of luck with your endeavor.

I agree with most of the comments here about both designs being somewhat unappealing, but I think it has more to do with the designs being too complex and "busy" than it has to do with the their actual subject matter.

I would (humbly) suggest that you try to think of some of the most well known (firearm related) company logos you've personally seen. Doing so myself, it occurs to me that most of the well known logos of very successful firearm related companies that I can remember off the top of my head mostly share a single design philosophy: simplicity.

I'm not professionally trained in design, but in my experience (and opinion), the busier a company's logo, the less likely I'm going to be to remember it and the "cheaper" it's going to feel.

Here's some examples:

Why not start another thread and ask for design suggestions and then go into color suggestions.
You will probably arrive at something quite good......and free !

Exactly there all so bland

 

[McShooter420]

Again imma just be a FFL to do transfers and have a couple toys to sell in my shop too, also im not gonna become a manufacturer, not like imma be stamping a logo on everything i sell, its for my building the logo will only be on my building

I agree with the sentiments above, that the logos appear to target a customer market of pop culture/reddit/look-at-me I'm cool young people. That may not be the crowd you are trying to attract but that is what I think when I look at either logo. People like myself who are over 40, and have worn that hot heavy gear overseas, tend to shy away from that marketing, the same way I do when a for sale ad says the gun is "tricked out."
Someone mentioned "V for Vendetta" and if that is a movie character you might get a cease-and-desist letter from the copyright holder's office.
I will compliment you on asking for others' opinions and feedback. Good luck to you in whatever design you choose.

I would still want the logo to be simple and to the point.
Something that is memorable and recognizable for your customers.
Here is where subtle wins. Exudes class and vision.

If it's too "busy", it's forgettable and disappears into the mist.

I can't tell if your target market are the Proud Boys or Antifa…

This is what you guys want plain and simple
