$30 Logo Competition

[jaredgravatt]

I need a logo for a hosting company.

Basically this is what I need.

1. It must be sporty looking, as this will initially be my primary target market, however versatile enough to be used in any context

2. Must be able to be used on the website, business cards and posters.

3. Most importantly must be fun yet professional.

Competition will remain open for 10 days or until a suitable entry is found.

The site name is hostwithus.co.nz

Please register you interest with me so I know to keep a look out.

[the_dramatic_one]

I'm interested man... Either PM the details or post them here... Details as in any specific coours, any theme, any motto, any tagline, any specific name... Anything.. :)...
PS- some idea about the size too...

[jaredgravatt]

It's all up to you. the only specifications are listed above. Must be usable on a business card

[jaredgravatt]

So whos interested?

[shortbus408]

[the_dramatic_one]

I'll submit it asap

[Ross860]

count in me..

[jaredgravatt]

excellent. look forward to seeing them all

[rkl]

Do you want the entire website name on the logo, or just the Hostwithus portion?

[jaredgravatt]

Whatever looks best, but maybe have the hostwithus in large and then .co.nz down below.

But again I will decide when I see it.

Thanks Watari.

Can you try it on a plain background.
It just doesn't seem very sporty to me. Try something a little less big corporate.

[jaredgravatt]

Thanks for the entries.

Both of the logos seem a bit 'big corporate' to me. I really want something a bit more 'sporty'. A bit more free flowing.

[jaredgravatt]

Thanks guys.

Davideldar: I like the concept, however there is something that just seems a bit plain and corporate. Could you try some sort of image or something to liven it up a bit?

Shortbus: Nearer to what I want. Still something, which I can't put my finger on, about it doesnt draw me to it enough. Could you try something a bit more eyecatching?

[shortbus408]

alright.. ill see what i could do.

do you want with effects like glossy or 3d?

[jaredgravatt]

Probably not 3d

[jaredgravatt]

At the moment I think erinNT is my favourite. I like the use of colours, however I still think it could be improved

Shortbus: I like your concept, but can you try using some bolder colours and make it a bit more eyecatching?

David: Not sure I like the image. Try something with a bit more energy and can you also try using some bolder more exciting colours?

[jaredgravatt]

ErenNT: I like the design with the red in it. Can you try some different styles?
Shortbus: It just seems a bit too cartoon like.

[mitcharr]

Removed See Below for reason

[jaredgravatt]

Mithcharr. I am pretty sure I have seen that exact logo on some other company in NZ. I will see if I can find it to confirm. Otherwise I really like it

[jaredgravatt]

I know. Just an unfortunate coincidence. Do you have any other ideas. Try work on putting some colours into your other disign.

Tranz: Too much colour contrast. Wouldn't want to look at that logo after a big night. Besides, the name is www.hostwithus.co.nz

[mitcharr]

When does it close

[jaredgravatt]

10 days from open. I think it is about half way. How about another entry. I really like your style
