Here's my concept. You can see it still looks good in Black & White as well as really small. As well, it's in vector format.
I'm not even entering this contest, but thought I should point something out. A chef used in a pizza Logo is not something you can claim as an original idea. It's been used for years, do a search for "pizza logo" and you'll see a ton. Just because you entered that idea in this thread first doesn't mean people can't use the same idea. So, before you call people out for not being original, maybe you should try and have an original idea to begin with......
Nice Colorful and clean looking. the melting part might be perceived as greasy and cheap tho. Instead of delicious. Tanks for the additional submission. I like how it's not as cartoonish looking. Looks a bit more real. Thank you. I like this one a lot. some concern has been raised among the people Ive showed it to. that the P looks a lot like the D in Disney. as well as the I Also a lot of people associate a cartoonish looking logo w bad tasting pizza. Ive gotten that response with several of the other concepts submitted. Very nice concept none the less! Thanks Nice color selection Nitroactive! The font looks modern but serious. creates a nice contrast. one con is that the five looks a lot like an onion. Thanks Thanks for pointing that out I also feel there has not been any copy cats in the contest. If someone comes up with a cool pizza logo with an iguana in it, and someone replicates the iguana Idea I would say it has without a doubt been copied. but when we are talking about pizza places there are a few ideas that I expect to be repeated like cheffs, pizza's the colors I indicated as top choices etc...
Look at both designs (mine and thegraphicsguy) - he has placed the chef in the same place as I did and composition is very important at logo design and you know that if you're a designer. And the most important thing at this is that it isn't his chef design, he didn't even bother to draw it in vectors himself but just copied the image from google... that's sad! And you wouldn't ever be able to use the logo without braking any copyright laws.
@Webm@st3r - Thanks for the feedback, I was actually going for the 5 inside an abstract pizza thing.. "Onion, I guess I see that." I'll try another variation. @Everyone It Concerns - Listen, if you don't want your "original concepts" copied, then submit via PM, simple as that! I would suggest keeping your comments to yourself and PM the CH with your concerns. Most things like this only serve to fuel the contest with negativity. "We all know who is copying who!" Trust me, I get annoyed as well, just saying there are better ways of dealing with it. "I've learned this more recently!" I myself like blind contests but you'd be surprised at how many of the submissions are near identical in those as well. Regards, NM.
Id like to make a request for 2 design alterations to your submission 1. First design get rid of the hat and leave everything else the same. 2. Second design get rid of the hat and change the font Thanks A lot of people Ive showed this design to have loved it. Looks very franchise-like Can't think of any changes to be made..as I think it will do well against all the other concepts.
I didn't replied to your 1st comment on my entry I thought I should stay quite.. and the chef is in vector my boy I really dont have to make it vector.. so that clearly means that I havent "COPIED" it from google.. I have its eps file.. now dont get me started on this graigb.. peace!
