Contest $50 for the best logo for "Stands For"

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by JamesColin, Apr 12, 2010.

  1. #1
    I'd like to offer you to work on a logo with the words STANDS FOR
    The site will be about definitions of abbreviations in sentences such as
    What does xxx stand for? xxx stands for what? etc.

    You have freedom to come up with interesting logos in this subject. You can add graphics related to words and their meaning, or something original.

    Please watermark all your logos posted here, so that only the winner will send me the unwatermarked logo when I'll send the money to his Paypal account. I'll want the PSD file, please do the logo in a big size, so I can shrink it down for several sizes to use on my site.


    The contest will run for 24 to 48 hours only, so please don't delay and show me your best skills.

    EDIT: some recommandations:
    - Color scheme is in the red tint.
    - Please do an effort on logo's font. It needs to be original in some way, don't want a simple STANDS FOR with photoshop's blending options.
    - anybody not willing or able to put in the required amount of original work: please don't enter the contest. I have photoshop, I can choose a font, select the red color and type. I don't need simple work.
    - It needs to be somewhat original. The unusually high prize of $50 means the logo should have taken you at least one to two hours of work, so something simple that takes less than 30 minutes to do for the average graphic designer will not be accepted for this contest. Thank you.

    Thanks Ex3me, looks good, but I forgot to say that the color scheme should be in the red tint. I like that you added a graphic to it, but the font needs to be more original in some way.

    XPYOUSEF: too simple.
    creat3: second try is much better, the font inside the graphic should stick to the form (be curved to follow the curves and circle)
