NK Logo Contest

**lymphocytosis** · 01-30-2012, 10:49

So NK has been open over 6 months now, and since I have worked it out that I will not have to close up shop like I thought in December, I thought it was high time NK had a proper logo. So those of you who are far more talented than I, have any ideas? (I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. I do luckily cut straight lines.) The winner will get a $50 certificate for anything they like from the shop.

Just send your entries into nkoutdoorgear at gmail.

We'll keep this open for a while to see what the response is like.

EDIT: Please remember guys, I cannot use images that are copyrighted by other sources or pictures of hammocks that I do not make!

Sent you an email with my idea...but fair warning: I am horrible at this kind of stuff!

So, what does "NK" stand for? That might help a little bit.

To be honest, it doesn't really have anything to do with hammocks or my business ethos. My day job makes me learn a lot of stupid acronyms and abbreviations. I was studying for my prelim (a massive, terrifying oral exam) when I named the company, and I couldn't call it CD8 (a type of T cell) Outdoors or GFP (green fluorescent protein) Outdoors. So I picked NK.

Just google NK and immunology and you will find out what it stands for and possibly learn a little about NK cells in the process. But I think NK cells would be a bit too odd to try to incorporate no to mention slightly violent.

I thought that was what it meant being that your name is "lymphocytosis."

We have a couple good artists here, so I'm betting one of the will chime in and give it a shot.

Good luck dude.

This is funny. You're a really nice and helpful person on HF, but your company name makes me think of this. Ha!

Exactly! lol. I was hoping no one would ever ask what the NK stood for.

Bit naive of me in retrospect.

I have already gotten a bunch of really nice entries. Keep them coming! I think I'm going to have a hard time choosing. I may have to come back with a short list so you can vote on them.

Also, please remember guys, I cannot use images that are copyrighted by other sources or pictures of hammocks that I do not make!
