$50 logo contest - an easy one

[JP Sauve]

We're launching a $50 logo contest, and it should be relatively easy for the winner. We're almost finished developing a survey website called PeopleVibe and already have a rough logo, but want it cleaned up. (It's for real surveys, not the make money kind.)

I like the idea of the crowd above the lettering... however ours just isn't professional or clean looking enough as is. Feel free to change the font, color, look of the crowd, whatever. If someone wants to design something completely new, by all means feel free to submit it too, never know what you might come up with.

Some things to keep in mind....

- We're trying to lean towards interesting/entertaining instead of very serious. Definitely not bubbly or silly though.

- The logo will be sized large enough in use on the website, but some other spots where the logo might show up could be pretty small, like 100 pixels wide.

- Winner understands that it's likely we will actually use the logo without further compensation to the artist, however it is likely that he'd be hired to re-create the logo in various sizes/colors or for banners.

im in, il try my best to make that logo into PRO!

My Tryout - Totally Different - Couldn't think of any other slogan Line though. Anything Could be changed on Request.

Nice try Xavier. A little dark and ominous though. :)

FOR ALL - A tagline is not required with the logo.

[Xavier_3D]

I can change the colour scheme at ur will. You just need to accept the overall concept.

[JP Sauve]

Well it is the concept that I find dark. It doesn't come across as entertaining or fun... it's kind of scary... like a Russian Big Brother from the 60's looking down on their workers.

It does look good though. It's slick, just not a happy fit.

[sairos]

what font did you use for the old logo?

[Xavier_3D]

How does these look?

[yooozy]

hello
wow sb1234 yours is so professional but a little big ....

well here is my unfinished try:

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb118/yooozy/peoplevibe.gif

tell me what you think about it ?

[sb1234]

thank you yooozy, size can be changed later if necessary

[JP Sauve]

Lots of nice entries. Not sure if I just eventually select a winner, or offer my thoughts on everyone's entries so far. I'm going to go with that, hopefully I'm not offending anyone. I'm not an expert by any means! :)

sb1234 - Very nice attempt, but I think it would be a problem when resized small. Color isn't as strong as I'd hope too. I think the use of the shadow people would be good on a splash page, but couldn't be used in a banner... and if you take away the people, the logo would be too simple to stand out.

designfxpro - I think the graphic overpowers the text. Doesn't really blend.

mikeeisme - I like your second version better than the first, but would prefer to see a more alternative font and stronger colors. Also, anyway to blend the people in to the logo instead of on top?

sairos - I really like the direction you're headed in. Any chance for a bunch more people in the back of the logo? Perhaps smaller heads, maybe just a bit less cartoony top make it fit and still be clear? Font styling is very nice and doesn't look canned.

weblazer - I'm not an expert, but I think there are too many conflicting styles and colors.

xavier - it does need color for sure, and like weblazer, I'm sure not sure if the different font stylings/sizes match with the use of the graphics.

[JP Sauve]

what font did you use for the old logo?

Sorry, we've owned the domain for some time now, and I wasn't the original designed, so I don't know the font used.

[designfxpro]

Any suggestions how can I make my concept better? :-)

[sairos]

I'll try to add some more heads :D

[yooozy]

thank you yooozy, size can be changed later if necessary

yeah sure i think there's too much light in the center lower it a lil bit it will be great

[JP Sauve]

hello

well here is my unfinished try:

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb118/yooozy/peoplevibe.gif

tell me what you think about it ?


Sorry Yooozy. IMO the fonts styles are too conflicting. Colors too. I guess it's kind of busy. I think the school of thought on colors is that you should limit yourself to few unless it's the design is such that MANY colors are used... and then the use of color is statement on the design. All your guys look sad by the way, not a great idea! :)




Any suggestions how can I make my concept better? :-)

Was the pic of the 2 people a canned graphic, or did you make it? Again solely IMO, canned graphics should often be avoided unless they are small and simple. (And do you own rights to use it?) Canned graphics have to be pretty nondescript. The dude in your logo stands out looking like a carpenter to me, so I'd think it should go with a carpentry site. If you're trying to get the effect that all people can make use of the site, and trying to relay this by showing different professions, you really need a big blend of professions to achieve that. Otherwise... it just looks like a carpenter graphic that doesn't fit on a survey site. Using many different recognizable professions would work well on a full page ad or TV commercial anyway, but doesn't work well in a logo. Again, this is in my opinion.

Without the graphic, the fonts are plain... doesn't convey entertaining.



FOR ALL: Not sure if you want to keep working at it, but I'll keep the contest open til Wednesday.... will check again a few times until then and share opinions for those who want to rework their submissions.

here is my entry

feedback appreciated

[JP Sauve]

pyrole - Thanks for the attempt, but I don't think that's the right direction. Looks like an insurance commercial. :)

Mike - closer, but I still find the font weak.

Speno - very nice, very clean and pro looking. I think the Vibe part of the font might be tough to read when resized down though. Also the show people should be more non-descript instead of business looking. Good direction for sure though.

SB1234 - I like what you did in post #28 with the outline of the people. It's small, non descript, doesn't overpower the text. Better than your try on post #31 in my opinion. Font isn't my fav though.

Xavier - too many conflicting font styles, and the shadow people won't resize down be recognizable as people.

Jamess - I really like that submission. The people above the logo is just right. The font is somewhat weak though, would like something unique looking without just slapping on a weird font.


Remember - contest ending on Wednesday. Get your entries in now!

[Xavier_3D]

Another Tryout. With the anomalies Corrected.

Nice job coolwanz.

[JP Sauve]

Wow, lots of great late entries.

Coolwanz, any chance you put a person behind each... make it a group of 9 or more instead of 5 shadow people?

Saros, I think I prefer the faces in your first attempt... just with more if somehow possible.

[coolwanz]

Hi JP, thank you for the feedback. :)

Sure no problem. I will defintely update the design.

[Flybylogo]

Is it too late to enter?

[JP Sauve]

Not too late. I'll pick the winner Wednesday at 4pm EST.

Well I polled the staff here and it was very close. Coolwanz won by just a single vote over Sairos. Both attempts are excellent in my book. A few other designs were nice too. Thanks to all who tried, particularly Sairos who redesigned a number of times just to lose out by one vote.

Coolwanz, can you please IM me your PayPal info. As well, please shoot over the final logo design to jp[at]maxbounty.com.

[sairos]

oh well, congrats coolwanz

[coolwanz]

Thanks JP for selecting my design. :)

Sairos did a great job on his entry and i know it was a tough decision.

Kudos to you as well mate. ;)

kind regards.

[AdnanAhsan]
