Logo (icon) conest for $30

[hitmanuk2k]

I am looking for an logo with icon for a new header. I am a fairly accomplished designer myself, but when it comes to doing icon's I suck.

Link to the PSD which you can use is below (it has the 'gloss' layer above where we want the logo/icon). Your logo should fit in the blue area on the left. On it should say 'Obsessed With Film' styled to your choosing. No tag line is neccesary, but if it aids the design your can use 'News / Views / Reviews'.

If there's nothing that is good enough, there won't be a winner. It's possible we'll pay more than one person if we like more than one icon.

An alternate prize could be a link at the top of my www.pesgaming.com (5000/day uniques) website for a month.

[hitmanuk2k]

Thanks for your entry Audentio, we are looking for something with more a unique 'icon' in the logo. We are happy for people to try film strips or other, but not in the style you applied. The logo should fit within the blue area.

[Audentio]

Cool. Alrighty. I'll take that into context.

[hitmanuk2k]

@ jokerlilia (PM entry):

I like the direction of your entry with the Icon, but I am not at all keen on seeing those type of blues on the logo. Ideally just stick to white or a darker blue of the one already on show.

You can see the full site where this logo will be going www.obsessedwithfilm.com

The logo there at the moment is temporary which I made myself - so your logo needs to obviously be above that standard.

COULD AN ADMIN PLEASE INCREASE CONTEST PRIZE TO $30 IN THE TITLE.

[hitmanuk2k]

[neme12]

Thanks for your efforts but it's not at all the direction we are looking for. The font is all wrong, think more 2.0.

The icon is quite important to this logo. If it's just fonts, I can do that myself.

[Redders]

Hey,

I think the one you have at the moment is the best i have seen so far!, so i am working to a similar look to that, but with a little more colour and a different star. Hope to upload it soon.

Redman.

[hitmanuk2k]

Thanks Redders I look forward to it.

To the couple of people who sent me logos by PM, the same feedback that I left for neme12 is valid for you also. Just not what I am looking for.

[neme12]

refresh, changed with stars symbols.

[Rolas]

Wait for my try.

[Redders]

Here is my first concept.

DesignChampion, that's much more like what I want, but I am just not feeling the icon. I'd prefer to see it integrated with the text more and feel part of the design.

Nobody else is even close to hitting the style I need.

[mac_crazy]

2nd try.

I will take part tomorrow..:):)

[hitmanuk2k]

Guys, some of you are making some really nice logo's, but they just wouldn't work or fit with the rest of the design. Please study carefully http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/ - take note of the colours on the primary elements (blues, whites and darks) and try to only use these colours in your designs.

I like how Mac Crazy has integrated the icon into the text, but it just doesn't feel unique enough.

Here are some examples of cool logo's which has the icon with the text:

[hitmanuk2k]

Hi Watari. I am really liking the icon integration, but the colour (red or yellow) should not be included. The colours must stay the same otherwise looks out of place on the whole site www.obsessedwithfilm.com - I prefer the bottom 2nd, but I am not keen on the obsessed with font.

It is annoying that I can not update/edit my first post in this thread.

[watari]

thanks for feedback. maybe i'll try again

[hitmanuk2k]

Just a quick note that I will not be able to provide feedback for perhaps 2 days as I have some Internet problems at home.

[woodywho]

are you still taking new submissions? did you get my concepts via pm?

thx in advance!

Logo Proposition for OBSESSED WITH FILMS

Coolwanz your logo is our favourite so far, but the blue needs to be a bit lighter to match the navigation colour. Also, I'd like to see some of the bevel reduced on the smaller letters in Obsessed. I don't think the tagline aids the design, probably best to just remove it unless it can be integrated better.

Aries, try to keep the icon inside the area, and we don't think it looks right having 'with' to the side. I do like that you have used the 'glow' as we asked but the font needs more uniqueness like coolwanz.

[hitmanuk2k]

Thanks for the quick changes and it's looking better. But if you visit www.obsessedwithfilm.com and take a screendump then place your logo in place, you will see it's still just not quite right. I think maybe a slight gradient on the blue and getting the shiny effect like the navbar has could make your entry a winner.

Is it scalable to put on t-shirts also?

Hi hitmanuk2k, yep it is scalable :).

[hitmanuk2k]

Thanks looks good. I would probably ask you to reduce the stroke a little around the text, but that can be done easily if I choose you as winner. I am still waiting on 2 people to enter who sent me PM's asking me to wait. I would like to set a deadline of Sunday evening as this has gone on long enough now and I have my Internet back up so I can deal with payments as soon as it's over.

nice professional looking logo.

here is my second entry ..... ;)

[hitmanuk2k]

Great logo Watari. I think it might look better actually without the box outline I gave as it seems a little close to the edges at the moment... Here is what I think would look neat... keep it pretty much the same as it is now, but get rid of the blue background area and change the colours of the film font appropriately so it's visible (as white on white obviously won't work). Perhaps round the top corners of the film strip to match the navbar and make that film strip the colour of the navbar for continuity. Actually yea that's fairly major changes. It does look good as it is too if you can't be bothered with all that and it will be a contender.

[watari]

how about like this ???

[hitmanuk2k]

Thanks crowquill for your entry.

We are going to go with coolwanz effort (though I'd appriciate a modifiable file either for Illustrator or Photoshop as I think I'd like to reduce that stroke a tad more). PM me payment details.

[coolwanz]

Thank you hitmanuk for selecting my design. :)

well done all.

PP received. Itrader fulfilled.

[hitmanuk2k]

Thank you for a smooth transaction.

Logo is now in place at http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/ (I changed the blue background to the old style as I think it blended a bit better).

[coolwanz]

Thank you as well hitmakuk2k.

The site looks great. Good job on the background tweak, fits perfectly. :)
