Contest $50 72hr Logo Contest Ecig/Ejuice

Hey all, I'm somewhat new to this forum but I've witnessed some amazing work so far so I figured it's time to run a contest.
I need a logo for a premium E-juice company I'm about to launch.
The company is called: Sm1tty Blends (replace 1 with i)
with a possible tagline of: Premium Vape Fluid

• Needs to look good on a dark and light background.
• Not required but bonus for a cloud of vapor/smoke(think exhale of a cigarrette) possibly coming out of the letters? or a mechanical E-cig or juice bottles somehow incorporated into the logo.
• I'm open on colors but kinda think black/red would be cool.
• I'd prefer a larger centered icon with the text below it as I may be using this logo for labels on E-juice bottles as well.
• Not too keen on overplayed fire/flame logo a lot of E-cig companies use
• I'm into bold logos, creative logos, or retro logos and maybe even somewhat cartoony logos if done right.
• The winner will provide a png file and the original psd, Illustrator or fireworks file.
• I will retain full ownership of the logo
• The winners will receive payment via PayPal Only.

Seems like an interesting contest i'll start with retro concept.
Looking forward to your feedback

 

my try

 

Hey Sm1th3rs,

My entry. Feedback is appreciated

 

Nice, Really digging the retro look, and the crossed ecigs, however those ecigs that you used are very dated, if you could incorporate something like the ones in these picture, picture, picture you'd definitely be in the lead so far

 

not too shabby, it's definitely a start, the fonts coud be better and it looks a little bland

 

really liking this design too, the text or maybe font looks a tad off though, could you possibly add a bottom part of the bottle under the text as well?

 

another try

 

Sure thing. Here some with bottom and different fonts and one with a retro kinda feel

 

Will be posting my entry soon.

Regards
Sikka

 

Here's update with some newer e cigs. Let me know what you think

 

@CEmarketer that's a really creative logo, it kinda just occurred to me, a bottle of juice in the logo on an actual bottle of juice might look a little off, I realize I stated that in the beginning of the contest but it needs something else
@falloutvic I like where this is going, the second submission is solid
@Padurariu Alexandru these are great and would be perfect for a business, however they are a bit too professional and don't quite fit my application
@Playaone Very nice! exactly what I was asking, you might be able to improve it maybe try putting an S and B on either side of the ecigs? or perhaps a round badge around it? would that look to busy?
@ariif very cool and well-rounded design, love the text, just not too fond on the colors

 

Enclosing whole design in circle probably won't do as it'd more for less detailed designs.
But adding S and B in the manner as in the preview below might be a good idea
