I need a header logo and image for a business directory based in the State of Ohio. You can find the directory at ohiobusinessportal.com. I will provide feedback for all entries. I am appealing to a professional demographic, so I might be more interested in work that does not feature cartoon characters, etc. I am open to changing the background color(image) if it looks good. Winner to provide .psd of work, and I will need to use the logo for other parts of this site. Please post all entries in this thread. I will run this contest for one week, and will end on Monday October 24th. The winner will be paid $60 immediately following receipt of works, unless I'm not satisfied with the entries, in which case I will award the best work $30 and I will not seek nor use the work. Thank You for participating and good luck.
The directory is located, as expressed in the original post, at ohiobusinessportal dot com. The state of Ohio is in America. I really don't know what you're asking.
I'm open to all ideas. I like the idea of fucusing on text but will certainly entertain a logo based design. I do need a logo though.
Logodesign, thee's something about the logo that just doesn't fit. Maybe it's the geometry, maybe the colors, or both.
I am finding the ones that have the state of Ohio picture incorporated in the logo the best so far. Wahy, there's potential there. I like the OHIO text, but there's too much glare. The font in 'Business Portal' looks generic. The logo might look better if state was more visible, perhaps without the white swoosh going through it and maybe a different color.
Spikesolo, I'm liking the second of third image the best. It does look like the city view is too clouded/masked by the haze. Perhaps if the text laid over the city image it might look more natural? I lke the logo better than your first one. wahyubudi00 - THis one looks better, but I still don't like the font in the bottom text. Also, the state inside the circle is tilted. The left side should be completely vertical. I also have to wonder how this will blend in with the header that isn't an image due to color differences. These are all very good!
