Hi everyone, I need a logo with a cartoon character/mascot in it. Basically, the name of the site with the character integrated on the left. Please visit the site to get an idea of the template I'm working with. Your logo will replace the placeholder logo that's there at the moment. Cartoon character: - Black, young, in his 20s, smirk - Diamond earring on left ear - Wearing a black suit with undone tie - Preferably, full body, with white sneakers Payment by Paypal. I'd like to have a winner before Sunday night EST, but I'll let it run longer if needed. This is my first contest guys, but I'll do my best to check the contests regularly to give quick reviews. Thanks in advance!
Great! There are two more who told me via PM that they would participate. Can't wait to see some entries!
@ zyndtel: Nice entry! The general concept is exactly what I'm looking for. About the character, could you try with a slightly smaller nose? Also, the right arm not showing seems off, can you make it more look like the other hand is in his pocket as well? As for the name of the site - it looks good, is the darker shade of brown for "BROWN" the same color than the skin color? If not, can you make it the same? Very good first entry!
Thanks for the feedback. Here's with changes. The brown is the same it just looks different because of the black lining in the character and no lining in the text.
Great, can't wait to see yours! Much better, great. Not much else to say, except maybe trying one with a diamond earring instead of gold, not sure which one would look better. Other than that, I like it, will have to wait to see what the others come up with
Nice one. The character as a whole looks good. Love what you did with the tie. The shoes are the way I want them. The facial expression could have a little more attitude or emotion though, can you try to do something about the face? My other concern is will it fit nicely on the template I'm using, given the height of the character in comparison with the site name? Also, I think "CARLITO" would be better in black, what do you think? I think as a whole I like your character the best at the moment. Very sharp! But, the right arm looks off (like zyndtel's first entry), can you make it so we see the right hand in the pocket as well? Also, I don't like the shoes, too small and the tip/front of the shoe should be rounder and bumpier if you know what I mean, like plugzzzz's one. Aside from that, how would you integrate the site name with your design, can you show me? Can you make it shinier? Looking great so far everyone - at this pace, I'll be able to choose a winner tonight, in about 12 hours.
here is my entry. I went for something much more vibrant and relaxed with lower caps logo, bright oranges and no suit jacket. Also I think the black/orange theme suits the website well... Feedback appreciated
I like how you used the same color scheme (black/orange) so that it matches the template. However, I don't like the character. I don't know how to explain it, but he doesn't look black, he almost looks like a black Bruce Lee. Good try, but it's just not as sharp as the entries from the other artists. I don't really like the character. Much better, thanks. You're still one of my favorites at the moment. I'll give time for the others to post their revised version. I'll make a decision either tonight or tomorrow. If you're planning on entering this contest, please let me know so that I wait for your submission. Thanks everyone!
