    Hi,
    I've held a couple of the most popular contests here, at digital point, and I even gave out a bonus to the second place getter in one contest not because I said I would but to show I appreciated his hard work.
    The reason I am holding this contest is because I have decided to change the name of my proposed puzzle hunting business from "EXERCROSS" to "XRCROSS" mainly because I kept mis-spelling the name.
    I have also decided to go for a completely new logo rather than a redesign of my old one for two reasons.
    I specifically picked the name XRCROSS because even I could see how easy it would be to create a decent logo that evoked feelings of energy, movement
    joy
    Also my EXERCROSS logo had a flaw, while it looked good close up it was just a blur from a distance and since signage will play a big part of my business that is not good.

    PURPOSE OF BUSINESS

    To make puzzle hunting a means of getting fit and hopefully into a sport in my country. There is already an American Company doing something similar but I will be better:0

    LOGO NAME

    Xrcross

    TAGLINE

    a new dimension in sport and fitness

    LOGO DESIGN


    Think energy, movement, joy, positivity, health

    Think of a fit person jumping with joy, because he has just found out something tremendous is going to happen.

    The easiest way to do this is to do something with the X. It could be as simple as having the x in a different high energy font to the rest of the word. Or you could create a simple icon using the X. Don't go overboard though think joy rather than nuclear explosion:)

    Must be created in a vector format
    NO CLIPART
    NO REFERENCE TO PUZZLES

    THE WINNER

    The winner will in return for payment provide the following
    The source files of the logo
    The name of the font/s used
    a psd version both high res and low resolution

    Also the winner in return for payment will cede all rights to the logo design to me.

    One final thing I will provide feedback but not as fast as in my other contests when I almost lived on the contest threads:) But EVERY entry will receive some form of feedback. So get going and may the best design win

    Cheers Don

    Mmm... Do you reckon that figure looks like it's filled with joy? BTW it isn't compulsory to use a fiure an hi energy x will do.

    Cheers Don

    I appreciate your creativity but my advice is keep it simple don't worry about adding crosses even the figure isn't compulsory. The main thing is the fonts. I;m not looking for genius just a good solid logo

    Thanks for the entries
    The first four most people would think it"s RCROSS as the Xs seem to be seperate
    The last one is good, in terms of unity, amd I like it but the font used for rcross would be hard to read from a distance so I'd be hesitant to use it. But if you can give me famous examples where the font is hard to read, from a distance. II might consider it.

    Cheers Don

    Cheers

    Sorry mate, for the delay

    Your entries are better than most but the X lacks vibrancy.

    Cheers Don

    Sorry Mate. I must have forgotten to hit the the submit button before..... Your design is excellen. However could you try a couple of different fonts though for the "rcross" though. something with a bit of a slant to it so it gives the illusion of movement

    Cheers Don

    Cheers Don

    Hi,

    I think using two semi circles to compose the X will be extremely hard to create a dynamic X. So it's no good continuing with it iIMHO

    Cheers Don
