$10 - Design a Quick Logo For a Crystalware Site

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by csn123, Jan 29, 2010.

    Task

    Design a logo. The logo needs the words "Gifts of Crystal" and can include a graphic if you like.

    The best I could come up with is http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/1940/logorub.gif . I like the font but it is very basic and am looking for a bit of creativity. I am flexible on the design. The products being sold are high end glass crystal products (jewellery, vases, ornaments, etc) so there needs to be some sort of luxury feel to it.

    Colours

    The background should be transparent. The words "Gifts" and "Crystal" should be #990066 whilst the "of" should be #999999. Any other detail in the logo should make use of these colours or similar shades (if possible).

    File Format and Size

    Layered PSD and PNG please. The image needs to be scalable so I can enlarge or shrink it to suit my needs. As a guide, I'm looking for something in the region of 300px x 60px.

    Reward

    $10 USD via PayPal, upon receipt of a request (PayPal > Request Money > Complete details and send) once the winner has been chosen.

    Deadline

    Wednesday 3rd February at 1pm GMT.

    More Details

    Please feel free to ask more questions. I will review each submission made here and respond with clear feedback.

    I would prefer a more scripted font and the logo just doesn't seem quite right. I've always not known what to have so am open to any suggestion :)

    I'm afraid I'm not to keen this. The font doesn't match the target audience and the logo isn't my favourite.

    People using my site may be spending anywhere around $500 US on a single crystal ornament, jewellery, vase, etc. This logo doesn't fit that market I'm afraid.

    A different more script like font and an alternative logo would be welcomed.

    Thanks Kavalorn but that's not what I'm after. The colours do not match the original brief, the font needs to be more script like and whilst the logo is the best I've seen yet, it's not quite hitting the spot.

    People using my site may be spending anywhere around $500 US on a single crystal ornament, jewellery, vase, etc. This overall logo doesn't fit that market I'm afraid.

    Thanks very much. I'm loving the font better than the other entries. I'm not sure about the decorations though. In the first one the jewels stand out too much and in the second, the decoration distracts from the text.

    *pushkar* - Will the image be scalable or will the product image mean it is restricted? Will it pixelate when stretched?

    logosdino - Please use the colour scheme directed in the first post.

    Thanks for all the entries so far. Nothing has really ticked all the right boxes so far although some have come close.

    My main sticking point is the icon for the site. I'd rather a vector graphic icon if possible rather than a photo. I'm after something original, something to enhance the logo I have.
