$50 For Thug DJ Logo + Possible Future Work

[TechnoKelvin]

I'm a new member, I have very little itraders, why trust me? Can't honestly tell you why, I can have my mom vouch for me. I'll pay, I promise. Pinky swear even. Everyone here started with no itraders, well I am were you once were until people gave you a chance.

Give me one!

$50 For Thug DJ Logo + Possible Future Work

Payment: Will be made through Paypal.

What I Need: A logo for my cousins website, that I am also creating with DNN. I do programming, I make web sites, I suck at graphics. SUCK!


Dimensions: Make it resizeable, that's all. This is the site it is for, http://www.djcheeks.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx, the skin stretches so size really isn't an issue, just make sure it resizes.

Tips: He's a DJ. His name is Dj Cheeks (Don't ask because I don't know. ) He does all sorts of music but his passion is more, as I call it, thugish. I'm sure everyone can get a picture in their minds.

Here's his myspace

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=37280512

Here's a logo I made for him (I know I know, stick to my day job)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c359/felipewwe/temp_logo.jpg

What Should It Look Like? Thugish. Here's his site (Check out his bio and picture gallery for more of an idea)

http://www.djcheeks.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx

My idea was graffiti on a wall saying Dj Cheeks, as you can see above. He liked the idea he just didn't like what I made. Try to keep to at least the maroon/burgundy color the site already has OR don't use colors that would clash with it if you decide to not include it. Your logo will replace the "Versatility" logo.

I would try to make graffiti on a wall with his name but if you can come up with something more creative for a thugish type Dj who likes rap, hip hop, r&b, freestyle, break dancing, etc. be my guest.

You guys are the ones with vision.

ONE WINNER WILL BE SELECTED! The contest will end sometime Friday. I'm hoping a few of my favorite artists here make a submission before I make a final judgment. It may be possible the contest would be extended a few more days if this is the case.

PLEASE INCLUDE THE PSD, AI, OR WHATEVER WITH THE IMAGE AFTER PAYMENT IS RECEIVED!

Odds are I'm going to get future work from the people who visit his site, more thugish DJ's, so if you do good work for me you'll have good money coming your way in the future doing the same type of images.

Don't worry about me going away either, I spend too much time here that I'm too embarrassed to disclose.

NO PM's PLEASE! Submit everything in this thread.

Thanks and good luck!

I changed the dimensions, make it resizeable, that's all. This is the site it is for, http://www.djcheeks.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx, the skin stretches so size really isn't an issue, just make sure it resizes.

Thanks!

Hi there,
Here is a quite simple graffiti version:

I think the one watari made is pretty good although I'd think it be better if the red area was gold

It's too simple. More detail is required.

jigu
I like the font but the background is too rainbowish. Maybe convey the music factor without using that CD?

anidesign
I really like it the text and the smiley face but the background is too dark. Maybe change that in someway?

watari
Wow watari. I always love your work and now is no different. I'm not sure my cousin is going to like the guy in it (He likes Big Pun but not to the extent of him to be in his logo) but I'll pass it by him first before you make a revision. Amazing work none the less.

Ariestoteles
Same as the comment before, I like the use of the face but I'm not sure my cousin will. Regardless, I love how it's different with the backwards letters and more street like.

Awesome job everyone. Maybe more street/urbran/graffiti but so far so good!

About the designs with Big Pun... would there be anyway to have his face instead? By his I mean my cousin? There are plenty of pictures of him to choose from from the links I provided. If you could replace Big Puns face with my cousins but make it look like a drawing like the picture of Big Pun you're using that would be amazing.

Great work!!

Amazing work everyone. Makes me want to hold contests for images I won't use just to see what you guys and gals can come up with! :D

renzmar
It resembles more of a banner than a logo. Also the sparkles on the text border cheesy. Like I said before I'm trying to stray away from the use of Big Pun. Other than that though it looks great. The sparkling neckalce effect is amazing and the overall feel is exactly what I'm looking for. But yeah, it makes a better banner than a logo.

Ariestoteles
Haha, it's funny and a little bit scary at the same time! :p Perfect the way it is, it doesn't need any more corrections.

untitledstudios
Wow. I love it. It doesn't need any work at all. Overall matches what I'm looking for. One of the top ones for sure.

jigu
Much better than your last one. Leave it as it is for the final submission.

IM3D
I like how it's only text yet it's detailed enough to make it look good to the point where it

doesn't need anything else to stand on it's own as a design. No corrections needed, awesome job.

xaralee
So glad you entered. Love the abstract black background as well as the font used. Leave it the way it is.

l3fty
Nothing short of amazing as always with your work. The text is very unique. The only thing I would say possibly needs changing is the fact that it gives off more of a rock and roll / bad ass on a motorcycle vibe than a street/urban/city life type of feel like it should. None the less top quality work.

surenther
I can't wait to see what you have to submit!

Feeback please:D

[TechnoKelvin]

The contest should be ending soon. I'm giving surenther a little bit more time as well as watari in hopes that he/she makes the correction I suggested and then a winner will be chosen.

Thank you all for participating, you did some amazing work.

watari
I'm blown away with what you've created. The only issue is the image portrays him more of a rapper than a DJ. He doesn't use the mic as much as he would a turn table. If you could use that same image, or one similar, using a turn table you're guaranteed a spot in the top picks. Awesome work!!

Creations4You
I like it. It hits the nail on the head in regards to what I'm looking for. I like how it's rough around the edges as well, gives it a different feel. Nothing I can add to make it better.

The first logo is alright. I like how the abstract image can be vinyl records but the text is way too simple. As for the other two the icons seem way too girly for a thug DJ. If he was a girl though they would actually be really good funny enough. :p

My cousin and I will make the final decision either today or tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who entered, you all did a spectacular job!

Well it wasn't easy, not by a long shot, but we have a winner.

watari

His DJ with the red splash background pictured above came closest to what my cousin envisioned to represent him. It wasn't easy for him to decide but in the end that was the best choice.

Thanks to everyone who entered. I plan to hold many more contests in the future so keep a look out for my threads.

Thanks.
