Simple, Easy Looking Logo For New Minisite/Theme Site - $25

[markmcw]

Hi DP'ers!...

What I'm after is an elegant simple yet memorable logo for my new project.
The site revolves around WP Themes, and quite possibly site templates for
sites in general.

The name of the site is, T*H*E*M*E T*H*A*T (Remove the * as I'd kinda
like to keep the search engines from finding this thread!)

I'm open to anything really, and don't have anything specific. Maybe try and
incorporate the two T's someway, I'm not sure!

Closing Date: July 2nd 2008

Payment will be sent via PayPal, and if I don't find anything that really jumps
up at me I will either extend the time of close the contest. (I'll most likely find
a winner though!)

Thanks
Mark

[markmcw]

What I did forget to add is that you can use the .com on the end if you like,
however it may look better without. Again, I'm open to all variations!... :D

Thanks
Mark

[markmcw]

This is a bit of a disappointment! :(

[mimico]

[M3rC]

PM me for edits/more info just in case I forget about this thread :(

Enjoy!

[markmcw]

@ M3rC - Thanks for that, the colours are quite nice! So is the layout,
however I'm not so keen on the dots, could you possibly play around
with the layout a little?

(If you don't see this in the next day or so, I'll send you a PM!)

Thanks
Mark

Hi. Thanks for the contest. Here's my first try. Let me know what you think. I've looked at it for so long that I can't decide if "That" is obvious or it will be seen as Theme Hat. lol

[markmcw]

@ jackieh1791 - Thanks for your first entry, and I can see what you mean
about the word (T)hat. My first initial thought is that it's 'hat', and when I
talked about incorporating the T's I wasn't sure if it would work, it may still
...but a little work would be required?!

Thanks
Mark

[M3rC]

aiight don't worry I saw your pm :)
i'll play around with the dots a bit + submit a whole new theme asap

a Web 2.0 feeling

[markmcw]

@ M3rC - Can we continue the play around with the text more? I'd
rather the text was bigger and any graphics weren't the main thing!...

@ theredgiant - I like the shape of the 2 T's so have a play with
something different. :D

@ Skullborg - Too light in my opinion, and the same as M3rC, I'd rather
the text was bigger than any graphic used.

Keep 'em coming people!

Thanks
Mark

[Skullborg]

So you just need a text-based logo?

[markmcw]

So you just need a text-based logo?
I don't mind a graphic, but I'd rather it was smaller than huge!... :)

My entry

[markmcw]

@ cottonStella - I'm liking the look of the second two, however it still needs
a little play around with. Maybe flair it up with a different font or something,
give it a little jazz but not too much! :D

@ qecera - Sorry but it's still kinda way off what I'm after, maybe a fresh
font will help and go for the one colour. A soft blue, or possibly work with
an orange?!

@ dimitri - This is getting along the kind of shapes and design I like, any
chance of playing around with a few things and making some small alterations?!
Can I ses what a different font would be like, something cool and elegant!...

@ theredgiant - Stick the the two T's and have a little change of font maybe
similar too the rest. This design will be right, with a few alterations I think. :)

@ mvmnt - I like that graphic that you've created on the left, it's interesting.
Any chance you could make that more of a center point, and model the text
around it?! Maybe a change of font too.

Looking good folks, hopefully I can pick a winner out of the submitted that I have
on July 2nd, but I'm still not eally sure of the exact things I'm after! :confused:

Thanks
Mark

[thelebeau]

[markmcw]

@ thelebeau - The graphic beside the text looks good! Its simple and
could be used as a Favicon, if I decided to go with you. Try a different
font variation and see what happens!... ;)

@ navywife_afc - Sorry, not what I'm looking for there! I like how you
encorporated the T's though! :D

Thanks
Mark

[brettk]

All Colors can be changed.

Feedback Appreciated.

@ brettk - Sorry for the DELAY in feedback, the timezone I'm in mean't I was in
bed and I had to do something before I switched on my computer this morning.

Regarding the design, can you have a play around with some other fonts?

@ Kingsmart - I don't mean to sould rude here, but it's a little too bland for my
liking. Maybe it's just the circle with the T inside thats doing it, can you possibly
have a little play around with it please?

@ mvmnt - We're getting there, and the graphic is turning out quite nice again!
Is there any kind of way you could spice it up now, not too much, but a little. :D

@ dimitri123 - If I'm being honest, I'm not really a fan on those fonts! Sorry!...
If you don't mind, could you possibly try a few more out, and maybe have a play
around with the design as it might help too.

@ thelebeau - I like that font and the second logo looks a lot better than the
first, can you give me an idea what the little graphic would look like as a favicon
please? (For that, can the background be a square and not the circle?)

@ navywife_afc - I'm kinda confused at this when you look at it for the first
time, it doesn't quite look how it probably should. If you don't mind, can you
play around with it again?

@ theredgiant - Hmm, the circle would work if you could remove that tick like
thing on the left. What would some other fonts look like? Can you possibly give
me a few variations?

@ mimico - I'm not sure I like this, sorry! I can see were you are going, but I
don't think it's right for this project.

Still about 4/5 days to get your designs in people, the logos are looking good!

Thanks
Mark

Wanted to try a different layout, rather than the previously used effects.

My update! With favicon! Let me know if you want any color or physical changes!
I threw in a couple variations and if you don't like it I can change back..they are very slight.

@ navywife_afc - Not the kind of logo I'm looking for there, sorry! It's just the layout of the text that really puts me off it! :)

@ Kingsmart - Hmm, sorry but it's not quite what I'm after!

@ theredgiant - Out of the three, I prefer the first one although the 'wacky' part might just be tipping it a little. Do you have something that isn't too much but just enough?!

@ anidesign - Bl**dy 'ell, I'm REALLY loging the second design you have created!!! I'm not sure I can give you anything to change, however can you give me a few variations of the second design. (This contest really is getting hard to decide, I had my eye on one but now I'm totally undecided!

@ cottonStella - Interesting, although the font isn't ideal. Its almost too 'busy' and childish if I can phrase it like that. A change in font should help solve that problem! ;)

@ dimitri - Out of those 4, I really like the 3rd one down, and don't mind the 4th. As of now, I'm not really sure on any kind of improvements you could add! |However if you want to submitt something different, then please feel free.

@ thelebeau - Thanks for including the favicon there, the only thing I can think of is to remove the graphic with the text and make it text only. I love the font and the way it looks, maybe add some slogan underneith the text and if you win then I'll tell you the exact words to use. (Not got a slogan yet!)

@ mvmnt - As already mentioned, this contest is getting harder and harder to give people feedback! The reason being is that everyone is different, and there have been some GREAT entries entered! I can't think of anything that you could change at the moment!

Thanks
Mark

[rhythmdivine.vg]

I'll give this a go as well..shall post soon

[cody331]

Well since ur still givin feedback im guessin the contest isnt over, when does it end?

Feedback Please.

[markmcw]

@ rhythmdivine - Got your PM and will reply to it shortly, if you don't mind posting them in here, then it might be easier for both you an myself! - Incase you look at the thread first, I like your first attemptat this! Maybe a simple play around with the odd thing.

@ cody331 - Can I ask what made people think I still wasn't giving feedback?! That's 2 people now who have mentioned that! :( (It's not my fault there are timezones and I don't sit infront of my computer 24/7!)

BTW, contest finishes July 2nd!

Regarding the design, I can see were you are going with thism and with a little bit of work done to it...then it'll look even better! I'm not a huge fan of that banner, however something similar may look perfect. Any chance of a play around with things?

Thanks
Mark

[rhythmdivine.vg]

Sure..shall post the entries from here now on. Sorry for any inconvenience.. :) Looking forward to your feedback

@ thelebeau - Smashing! :D I can't think of anything else that you could do!...Unless you want to start on something different, I think your done and I'll contact you regarding if you win or not when the contest finishes. (If you could subscribe to the thread, then it may save me the time of PM'ing everyone!

@ casio - The letter T's are too big for my liking, and on a light background, some of the colours can't really be seen!...

Well talk about letting you guys down!

I've just been successful in logging back into the forum after trying like 8 times over the past few days! Not sure what was going on there, maybe I just typed the password in wrong.

I'll make a decision and let you know tomorrow!...

Thanks

Any word on a winner? Thanks

[markmcw]

OK now this is really really strange! I posted a huge reply thanking everyone for their entry but that I'd picked thelebeau as the winner. (Yet the post isn't here! I must of forgotten to publish it!)

Can you PM me with your Paypal, and I'll send you the prize. I also knew you were away for a while and completely forgot when you came back!

Anyway, after payment can you send me the logo including the favicon over preferably in .png format. Although the favicon can come in it's own format or as a gif or whatnot.

Very sorry for the error, and thanks one again!

Thanks
Mark
