$25 For Peanut Company Logo

    Here’s a link to the last contest I held. You can check the itraders that the person who won received payment and all contestants received feedback.

    $25 for Peanut Company Logo

    Payment: Will be made through Paypal.

    What I Need: A logo for a close family friend. He’s starting out his company and really needs some help. I know it kind of sounds weird that someone wants to start a peanut company but it is what it is and this would be of great help to him.

    Dimensions: Make it resizable, that's all. PNG preferred.

    Tips: The name of the company will be We’re All Nuts so if you can work with that title and play on words that would be great. I’ve tried to get some ideas for the logo from the web but the results did not work out so well. Be creative.


    What Should It Look Like: The logo should be unique; it needs to catch your attention and become noticeable kind of like the Mr. Peanut logo has. I like the thought of a peanut character (that is, a peanut made with human characteristics) Please keep in mind that it needs to have a transparent background. The other thing that I’m leaning towards would be an elephant throwing peanuts. I like the way this cartoon is drawn please take a look at the elephant seen in this picture: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_clo...als/5266202-elephant-and-mouse.php?id=5266202 If you could incorporate the play on words of the company name “We’re All Nuts” into the logo that would be great! Either way, it needs to have the company name displayed next to, around or somewhere near the logo.

    ONE WINNER WILL BE SELECTED! The contest will end Tuesday, August 12th.

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

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

    Thanks and good luck!

    That was fun to make! It's fully vectorised. I hope you like but I'm willing to make revisions if you like.

    You're design is cute and it does draw your attention to it. I do however prefer a more 8 type shape as seen on the other submissions. However, I think that if you added maybe an elephant (kind of like the one I included in my previous description) hugging the peanut it would be amazing.
    http://www.istockphoto.com/file_clos...php?id=5266202
    Also, if you could include the company name "We're All Nuts" maybe in the same colors as the peanut it would really stand out. There's definitely something about your design that makes everyone just laugh like a child and that's GREAT

    I like the colors you have used for this drawing. However, I have seen a character with the exact same position as in your drawing. Please try to be more unique with your designs I would not want to create legal problems for this company.

    I really like the colors you have selected. You're design really stands out. The guy who wants this logo actually has a family that is really represented in your drawing. He does, however, have a 1 1/2 year old daughter and a newborn baby boy as well. I like where your going with your design the only thing that I would like to see is maybe including the two other children. Maybe they can be added as though the mom and the dad are holding each one. Pink pigtails for the little peanut girl would be a plus. I would also fix their arms so that they don't look a bit un proportional (the dad's right arm, the mom's left arm, the kids right arm) Otherwise GREAT JOB!

    Overall awesome job everyone! I'm really looking forward to seeing how everything turns out!

    Hi Technokelvin
    Thank you for the feedback. I will work on fixing the arms and making the two baby nuts so the family will be complete, and I will try to put the baby nuts in their parents arms.

    Sounds like people are having a shell of a fun time making logos for this company. :D

    I like how you have this character is in motion. I would like to see it doing something more interesting though. Also, the cut out of the face seems a bit out of place to me. What if you were to make the entire peanut with the shape & color seen on its face instead of the outer covering you have? I love the character’s facial expression. GREAT JOB! I think that if the peanut had more action, as in maybe he’s holding onto the banner for dear life as its flying away.. that would be interesting to see. Also, I would like to see more of a red color instead of orange (seen around the banner and on his feet) and I’m not really liking the blue on his hands and in the writing on the banner maybe we can try a more gold or peanut matching color (browns, light browns, or maybe even red) Otherwise nice design.

    I hope everyone is having fun too!

    davewolf

    These peanuts are a little too scary to eat. I would like to see something a little more friendly if you could as this will be advertised later on. The sharpness of your image is amazing! I would have never thought of a wolf peanut.

    fluffytoz

    Your work is very good. Thank you for providing soo many choices. I really appreciate it how versatile you are. The “let’s dance eight nut” looks a bit too bubbly and large so it doesn’t really look so much like a peanut. The “stand-offish” peanut looks great as well as the “let’s dance peanut” By the way, amazing job on the elephant you really understood what I wanted to see and there are no changes in that area. Also, thank you for including the company name I am a big fan of the font type monotype corosiva and I know that this font would look great with this design. Please take off the exclamation mark if you could from the words. Otherwise, the font colors match everything perfectly! AWESOME! I’m a little bit hesitant with the peanut maybe if we changed the color of it to a more khaki color and dark brown and tried to do something with the point at the top of its head? It’s hard to tell that it is a peanut because it kind of looks like a lemon. I like its face and everything else. If you can do something with it then that would be great.
    From what I can tell you are very creative and very talented! And your design really grabs everyone’s attention! KEEP IT UP!

    a4hire

    Thank you for taking my comments and making the changes. Your design looks amazing! I really like how you have now made a completely nutty family that actually resembles the people who are starting this company. The only suggestions would be to change the eyes of the mom peanut; she looks a bit googly eyed. Also, the mom peanut’s hair seems to be uneven. There does seem to be a bit less of white spots in the design. There is still a lot though. But if you could make an alternative design where you could have the little girl with pigtails sitting on the shoulders of the big peanut brother and smiling, which would get rid off a lot of it. It would also make it look like it has a carnival feel to it…too many children. IT’S A GOOD THING. The kid likes baseball so if you could have him have a baseball on his right hand and have the other hands as it is with thumbs up that would be outstanding! As for the words “We’re All Nuts” could you possibly fix the “e’s” as they seem to be unfinished? If not then no problem it still looks great. Otherwise…you have really proven your talent! It is amazing what you can do I wish I had that kind of artistic ability! GREAT JOB!!!

    To All: thank you for all of your help and your revisions! You guys are extremely talented and I know that this will be of great help to this peanut company! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP and I really do hope all of you are having fun creating this logo! Good luck and if you have any questions let me know!

    Hello
    I hqave made the revisions as you suggested, everything except the "e's" in the text. That is just the way they look in that particular font style. If you like I can try other fonts to see how they look.

    Thank you for making the changes I like how you turned them into little goofy peanuts. I wonder if you could make them have arms and feet to match.
    Otherwise, great attention to detail and I love how the image is very clear and sharp. GOOD JOB!

    fluffytoz

    These designs are amazing…hard to pick which one I like better. The only thing I would like to see is the “son of eight” peanut be the same color of the fuzzy peanut & fuzzy dark peanut. Also, maybe change the font type to monotype corsiva.
    AMAZING WORK! Nothing else to say but GREAT!

    diaua

    I like your style. I love the colors you have chosen and how the name of the company is displayed on the side. If possible I would like to see this character have more human characteristics such as a face and hands and feet, also be in more of an action pose. Otherwise nice work and I’m glad you are having fun! AMAZING JOB!

    a4hire

    This drawing is looking really great! The only suggestions would be to change the eyes of the mom peanut to match the dad’s eyes and to maybe have the dad making a thumbs up on his right hand and the other hand as it is (waiving in the air) Otherwise truly AMAZING. You’ve even nailed that the kids have blue eyes and the parents do not, this drawing truly resembles the real family who is starting this company. GREAT JOB!


    To all: thank you for your submissions as well as your revisions. You’re all doing a great job. Keep it up! :)
