$50 Logo Design Contest - 3 days

[DragonGuy]

The logo name is "Lighting Equipment", please include this text into the logo. As the name suggests, the logo will be used on a site about lighting products. It's a B2B site, but I do not limit the logo style to the business type (personally I like web 2.0 or cartoon style). Just design the logo in the styles that you're good at. Overall I prefer the logo to look clean and fresh. BTW the site's background is white, please do not present the logo in other color background. Also please limit the logo height to maximum 100 px when you present it here. As some big size logos will look obscure when cut down to small size.

I'll pay the winner $50 via paypal. The contest will last for 3 days. The designs must be original and the full copyright will belong to us when the winner receive the payment.

Why would the example / mockup have to be 100px height, on the exact color bg you need (ONLY), & Able to be cut down to small size? Shouldn't the final files be in the spec sizes & the mocup be protected from any infringement attempts? Would it be ok to watermark the entries, or is that prohibited too?

It's ok to watermark the entries.

As for the logo height, if you prefer a bigger size for the convenience in design you can do that. But please make sure the final logo (with a 100px maximum height) has the same effects as the big size logo. I emphasize this because some logos looks great in big sizes, but when cut down to smaller sizes to fit the site, they looks ugly or lose their original effects.

Thank you for the interest.

to get a better idea of the what the logo should portray, what type of products will the site be selling?

It's an industry portal for all lighting products. I've no idea as to what kind of elements could represent them. That's why I turn to designers like you here.:D

katesrobyn, I do not like it but I appreciate your participation. I can not tell exactly which part of the logo I don't like. I think I'm not interested in the overall design. Thank you.

[tickey]

Which kind of lighting products you sell? I mean for home/ concerts / studio etc etc

[DragonGuy]

tickey, as I mentioned above it's a B2B industry portal that includes all type of lighting products.

I just come up with some ideas:

How about a lighted house with a moon and stars high in the deep blue sky in the night?
How about a combination of some cartoon lamps, for example, a table lamp, light bulb, flashlight, neon lamp...?

The logo is not necessary to be figural (e.g. including a bulb or lamp in the logo), an abstract one with creative design is also a choice.

LOL.. sorry, i haven't any clue yet... but i will see to come up... a new one :)

xaralee, I like it, count this a candidate. The problem with this one is that the height is bigger than width, this may be difficult to incorporate it into the site header. Will you adjust it to have width' size bigger than height? I can not tell the house is lit by a lamp. Is there a way to make people feel there's a lamp in the house? You may also try to add some outdoor lights. Anyway, the logo is themed around a lighting product. In addition, the text seems not perfectly integrated with the logo.

Thank you very much.

DrDesigner,

Thank you. But this logo looks too simple and the beacon is too commonplace and can be found in many logos .

[DragonGuy]

Cool, andi. I like it, your typical style:D It took me some time to figure out the bulbman, is there a way to intensify this effect?

Could you make the logo rectangular (width bigger than height)? I've to mention again I do not want a vertical logo. The height and width should be controlled around 1:2 (such as 90 px height and 160 ~ 200 px width).

Thank you

Thank you Brain. The first one is better. But I think a table lamp logo may not fit a comprehensive lighting products site.

Perhaps due to the rectangular shape, the moon looks strange. The wall of the house is white, incompatible with the night, will gray or black wall be more appropriate?

I don't like the arrangement of the text especially the yellow rectangle. I would suggest to symply remove the yellow rectangle and incorporate the text into to the logo or in other ways.

The most important is that the lamp or the outdoor light is only an ornament in this logo. I would rather want to emphasize it's the lamp that bring the bright and it occupies an important role in the logo.

Sorry my idea may sound strange or difficult to understand. This is only a reference. It's not necessary for you to follow me.

Thank you so much.

Feedback please.

[DragonGuy]

Good! I'm glad to see the text and logo integrated very well.

Could you move the bulbman a little forward or the house a little backward to allow more part of the house to appear on the logo? Because in the small logo the house is not so clear.

I like the logo very much. One small thing is that the light bulb looks like an egg. :D Could you test other colors for the lighting effects? However, if you think this color is the most perfect, just keep this one.

Thank you for the great job, andi.

Here's my entry. The size is the one that you want 200x90. The font is clear even if small and the light is glowing as to specify light.

I like the color of this bulb and its head. Please keep this one.
http://fenixupload.com/files/oti1jfhni1zw6k34k44x.png (http://fenixupload.com/)

I like the running effect of this bulb, could you change the bulb color to the color of the above one? Also please move the star before the bulb a little forward. After these adjustments, I think the logo will be perfect.
