$30 logo contest - 3 day competition!

[KingsCribbage]

Hi guys here's another one for ya.. This one is a pretty easy one.

Looking for a logo that will have the text "KC UK" somewhere in it and one of 2 possible graphics choices:

- A frog wearing a crown holding a hand of cards
or
- A knight hoisting a shield that says KC on it
(an example of a shield is at http://www.kingscribbageonline.com in the top left without the "online" scroll)

I am a trusted buyer, I will pay 30 dollars paypal for the winner and I will give feedback on all entries.

Good luck!

[KingsCribbage]

Some more info, open to both cartoon and non-cartoon frogs for option 1, whatever ends up looking cooler :)

[KingsCribbage]

Anyone want to give this a go?

[KingsCribbage]

Only 2 days left, somebody must want to give this a try for $30?

[thibaut123]

I want to try this out! I will have demo soon.

[thibaut123]

About the colours, should it match the current colour theme on your site?

[KingsCribbage]

No, feel free to do whatever you want with the colors..
My site is not the same site that this logo will be used for.

[thibaut123]

Here is my first attempt:

Card design, text, colours are all changeable.

[graphicsunplug]

I will enter this. Wait for me. Thanks.

[KingsCribbage]

Thanks for starting this off thibaut.. Can you take the "ings" and "ribbage" part out?
Could you also move your watermark to the text or somewhere so I can see what the frog looks like?

[graphicsunplug]

Hi!

Here's what I've come up with. Totally original, I drafted the ideas on paper first and have came up with this. I hope you like it.

Feedback please. Thanks, hope you like it.

[KingsCribbage]

Hi CYR, thanks for the entry.
Can you make the whole thing a bit smaller, and actually add numbers and suits onto the cards instead of just white squares?

[graphicsunplug]

Any feedback from the owners on mine? (:

[KingsCribbage]

Yeah graphicsunplug yours is one of the leading candidates so far.. They might give you a few altercations to make.. Will keep you posted.

[KingsCribbage]

Hi guys, ok sorry I am going to have to extend the contest for a few more days just based on the feedback I got from the owner of the company:

"Very creative logos, I like them but I don't think the overall style of the logo would go with our stationary: the colours, disney style approach, this style I feel is more for a younger audience.

How about using less colours and background - it is getting the style of the frog right to, can we make him more cosmopolitan?"

Basically she is looking for a little more professional, a little less disney, less colors and backgrounds etc..
Perhaps some of the entries can be touched up to this new criteria?

As a result I will up the contest prize to $35..

[KingsCribbage]

OK we still haven't named a winner for this competition..
I got a little more clarification from the owner.. They want the frog to tie in with this logo:

So it's much smaller, and incorporate the KCUK logo with the frog..
So maybe you guys could shrink down your frogs and tie this logo in somehow?

Still for $35 now.. Still up for grabs! We will crown a winner!

[roktiv]

working on it right now ;)

[KingsCribbage]

Oops forgot to upload the logo.. Here it is:

[KingsCribbage]

roktiv please make sure it ties in to that KC UK logo, thanks..

[graphicsunplug]

I will try adding the logo to my frog if the cilent likes my frog, is he alright with it?

[KingsCribbage]

Yeah try shrinking it down, that might work..

[chlopzmazur]

There is some problem. I can't open KCUK logo.

[KingsCribbage]

OK it is also available here:

[KingsCribbage]

[KingsCribbage]

Nice one valid, getting you guys all feedback in the next few hours..

[KingsCribbage]

OK guys here is the feedback:
In general, she doesn't like the frog to be too green and cartoony..
I have attached images of frog styles she is interested in:

crowquill > this one is the best so far, nice color matching
graphicsunplug > frog is a bit too green and cartoony
valid > nice, but she has decided to go with the frog theme instead of the knight theme (however I myself am interested in this graphic, if you are interested in $5, can you change the small knight head to use your previous gold and brown colors and take out the KC UK logo? I will send you $5 paypal)

chlopz> same as graphicsunplug, not bad a bit too green and cartoony

[KingsCribbage]

Anyone want to try with frogs similar to the attached style? and the attached KCUK logo
We're sooo close to finishing this one up! :)

[crowquill]

[KingsCribbage]

Hey crow, i can't see the image, can you resubmit it?

[KingsCribbage]

bitwer, the small one with the white background is her favorite so far..
Can you make it so we can see the frog's eyes?

[KingsCribbage]

bitwer she likes yours the best, can you try one more variation?
Use the same frog and have him lifting the KCUK cube?
Try him with and without wearing the crown as well if possible..

Then I think you will win the contest..
