I would consider keeping shape of the G very close to the original (in the sense of keeping the bottom right corner of the letter G straight vertical) and just simplify the R (remove the vertical line on it altogether). this way you'd avoid the creation of blank space T letter in the middle of the logo. it is just an idea, I would have to try draw it first to see if that works.


ps my ex wife is a graphic designer...
Really good points mate, looks like your wife’s experience rubbed off on you too

Yes not been easy to transform the logo to something balanced in that sense

You nailed it then, I'll expect either a free slip-on or a cheque in the post! Hahaha.
Good logo tbh, I don't see a prominent 'T' in that design, maybe in the others but defo not option 2.

As well as the GTR comment which is a good point, I don't like any of them. All the GR letters look too complicated and contrived. If anything I prefer the old one but it has the 'GTR problem' . I would start again with the old one and separate the G and R letters as others have said .
Ps Looking at them again , the angular letter M in 1 and 2 doesn't fit in with the curved style of the GR.

Thank you, agreed. Can’t do a free slip on but how about 50% off for you mate and anyone who helped if interested

Really good points mate, especially about the “m” , we will have to do something about that.
Thank you
