View Full Version : $35 Logo Redesign Contest -- Web2.0 style wanted

I’m looking for a new logo. I’m rather fond of my current logo but just about everyone I talk to just hates it.
The website: http://www.modernflat.com/
What I need:
Web 2.0 style logo. If you don’t know what that is, look here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stabilo-boss/93136022/in/set-72057594060779001/).
The colors don’t need to stay the same but I rather like the current color combination so unless you’ve got something that seriously kicks ass, keep the same colors. This will save me time in implementing the new logo.
Current color pallet:
#99cc66
#ffffff
#333333
#444444 (website text)
The final logo will have to be very high resolution as it might be used on shirts or other print, while at the same time being able to scale down to a size that is similar to my current logo (lets say no bigger than a standard banner but probably half-banner) which is 250x40 but can be made bigger, it's not set in stone.
The contest will run until Friday Aug. 3 or until I find a logo I like so much that I cut the contest short.
I would prefer delivery in PNG, PSD and High res JPG. (all of them if possible)
EDIT: Payment by PayPal ONLY
I reserve the right to turn down any and all entries I don’t like. In that event I will provide a $5 consolation prize to the logo I like best just for your participation (you will not have to give me a logo in this case) because I don’t think it’s fair to shaft everyone just because I might not like the entries.
That's it. Thanks.
Pete.

Not what I'm looking for Pash... keep trying.
Just a note, like I mentioned earlier, use the current color pallet unless you feel you have something FAR better.

Not bad but not there yet.
Here is a little more info about the website for those who didn't bother to browse through it enough.
Topic/theme: Modern Furniture, Modern Decor, Design, Interior Decorating.
The website is geared towards late 20s to early 50s visitors in major metropolitan areas. Mostly apartment dwellers who enjoy well designed things and famous furniture.
This should help you get an idea of what types of things/styles these people are looking at and go with it... I'm looking for good design, subtlety over flashiness and the Logo will become my identity so I want it to complement the website design, not dominate it.
Hope that helps.

I'll add one more option that might make it easier for people to come up with a great idea.
You do not necessarily have to make the words "modern flat" be part of the logo. I will also accept actual logos. I would prefer that you also supply a suitable font so I can visualize the complete package but I will leave that up to you since it might not be required.
sites that use logos & text as identity in my niche:
apartmenttherapy.com (they have a squiggle and use of font)
designpublic.com (they have a bird and font)
2modern.com (a star that resembles a George Nelson clock and font)
henrybuilt.com (just classy use of font)
core77.com (take a look)
swissmiss.typepad.com
Ok, this should make things easier (I hope).

A lot of good entries but none that I feel are right for the website.
squarehippies has sent me a few via PM that I feel are good and I will ask him to kindly post them in the thread as I feel they are much closer to what I am looking for and I am willing to accept them.
Pete.
