Turn my idea into a logo - $20, 24 hours

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by RichardPG, Sep 7, 2008.

    I'm meeting a client tomorrow and would like to show them an idea I had for a logo. Unfortunately I'm not skilled in graphics so I'm hoping someone here can turn my idea into something which looks professional.

    The basic idea for the logo is to take the iconic shape of Tower Bridge;

    [​IMG]

    and turn it into a simple logo using as few lines as possible. Company is called 'London Printing and Stationers'

    Ok, not sure why all the entries so far have been via PM. I'll obviously respect your right to keep the entries from the public domain but it's only fair to provide feedback so here goes;

    sarsh11 Nice and contemporary while being a simple line drawing. Like it.

    seni After lines rather then just a silhouette. Thanks for the entry though.

    msi52 Again after a representation made up of a few lines rather then just the image. Thanks for the try.

    thetop1 Very interesting perspective and well carried out. I really like it but I feel the client might want the more obvious view. Could you try it again in that style but from the usual angle?

    Just to confirm with people though I do want only original submissions that don't rely on copyrighted material.

    Still almost 20 hours to go until the contest ends...

    I will work on an entry too. It would be nice to see all of the submissions here. Unless you are running a PM contest..... I don't understand why so many people are afraid to post their work here.

    Cuatrofb thanks for the entry but I'm trying to avoid anything which uses an actual image as it's base. Just line based if possible.

    shinan thanks, it's in the right direction but a bit too 'heavy' - again after something more line based IYCWIM

    havenalmighty looks nice but again looking to reduce it to lines as much as possible

    thetop1 that's more like it, thanks

    a4hire look forward to your entry. I don't think it's people afraid to post their submissions though. Maybe they don't want to give their ideas away or want to reuse the ideas for other contests?

    yes, I think it is mostly people afraid of having their ideas stolen. I do understand and it is unfortunate that there those here that do that.
    Here is my idea for a logo and the logo placed on a business card to see how it might look.
