New Logo Contest with a slogan required for $30!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by rich_uk, Dec 10, 2006.

    The theme is 'Yacht Charter 4u' and I am not 100% on the EXACT direction I will be taking this site, but hopefully onwards and upwards.

    When designing a logo & slogan, please bear in mind that the site WILL be reaching a global market and it will be for anyone to write and share their experiences about yacht chartering, and to also share their passion for all things 'sailing and boating'. Also I want to encourage article writing on this aswell.. a kind of "All you ever wanted to know about yacht chartering but were to oafraid to ask" - hey that could be the slogan right there ;)

    Anything and everything to do with yacht charter, personal yacht chartering experiences etc.

    Good luck..

    Another design competition I have here on DP

    Yeah, some ideas to extend upon that would be:

    I suppose the slogan "All you ever wanted to know about yacht chartering but were to afraid to ask" is a tad long-winded??

    and

    I'd like to see YC4U on any designs involving sails ;)

    kawa_188 - possible to add in the text as I mentioned above and again, do you have any variations of that to show me - the pic is quite refreshingly tasty but the text, not sure if it's the font or the size OR both :s

    Would this be asking too much?

    Thanks to all entered so far, keep them coming

    Regards,

    Rich

    of course and I apologise but I did actually reply to yours I do reember but for some reason for reasons unknown it's not showing so I'll write what I said before.

    I like the fancy 'scroll' style and choice of colours to your design xpressions.

    two things I don't like are the huge waves (I did comment previously on how this image of big waves might not put people's minds at ease) - remember that for some yacht chartering will be a new experience.

    the other issues are im not sure if that slogan's so good and I would like to see alternatives really - mine was just an idea.. anything involving the terms 'bearings' for example to reflect that in a navigational idea getting the right bearings is a good thing, I dunno... no expert me on any of this..

    also the font's quite large compared to the main image, I'd like to see more of a proportionate scale is possible.


    Really like it though, it's coming along.

    Regards

    Rich.

    Digging the top one more 'as a logo' then the bottom one albeit you spelt afraid as 'ofraid'.. but please read my previous post with regards to getting a slogan right..

    I like how you used an image as a letter, that's nice but I would love to see some more useage of imagery to reflect that Yacht Chartering isn't just sailboats etc and also plz reflect that this is a global site/operation.

    Regards,

    Rich

    I'll see what I can come up with. And thank you for the feedback/update.

    Very nice indeed xpressions, very nice.

    You've totally turned your original design around taking into account what I commented on.

    If there aren't going to be any more entrants then we might have a winner evolving! I would like the slogan changed though.. my original ideas WAS just an idea, and as I said above (a couple of times) it would be good to see some new slogan's taking into account some more relevant 'nautical' terms i.e bearings, wind, sails, direction.. etc.

    Regards + and a HUGE thanks to everyone whose taken part, I'm really appreciative!

    Rich

    Thank you for the feedback. I didn't ignore your commentary on the tagline, I was focusing on the logo itself because content/wording is not my forte. I will try to come up with something though. Will need to tap into other resources :)
