$35 Banner logo and biz card logo contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Camus, Mar 17, 2007.

    Hey there,

    I've decided on a name for my IT consulting biz. Now I need a logo.:rolleyes:

    The site name is "one click fix.net" (all one word).

    I will need a banner logo for the mini-site I am building as well as a version I can put on a biz card.

    In regards to colors: 2 color is fine - at first I thought orange and blue but now I am not so sure - open to other colors for sure.

    The logo should include the name of the site. If you need a slogan "IT Solutions for Small Business" would work. (The business is an IT services firm providing IT support and solutions to small business.)

    I really like Web 2.0 stuff and the site itself will be incorporating such aspects (glossy buttons, shadowing, etc.)

    The contest will end on Tuesday and I will try to provide as much feedback as time permits. Winner gets $35. In the unlikely event that I do not like any of the designs presented I'll give $10 for the best effort anyway. :D

    Thanks!

    Heres mine, the explosion of the O and cursor together would be very recognizable. It could also be your favicon.

    Thx addicted, :D. It just popped into my head.

    Mitcharr:I am sorry but the concept of the cursor had been incorporated into my design first. If everyone else disagrees with me, I ll ignore this matter. But, if everyone agrees, I hope that you would withdraw it. I hope I haven't been offensive. Thanks. :)

    Mitcharr - sorry, a bit new at this - I suppose whatever sizes would fit on a banner and on a biz card. :confused:

    Alneo - looks great!

    Alneo, I completely disagree with you since that is clearly what the site's title suggests. One Click, mouse click, cursor, duh. That's like if I were to claim the color red for my logo. If it weren't so obvious due to the "click" part, than by all means I would side with you. Besides, are you really intimidated by that guy's design? C'mon.

    This is my attempt, I'm not quite sure, that I've chosen the right warmth of colors (i made it in blue-orange combination, as you asked), but they can be easily changed in no time. Feedback please.

    Guys - great designs so far - I wish I had this kind of talent! :)

    One thing though.. this is a business so maybe a slightly more serious tone, if that makes any sense... think less gaming site and more business like these:
    http://www.advantagemicro.net/services.html - very cool, clean
    http://www.advantagemicro.net/services.html - a bit *too* business i think
    http://www.bcnetworks.com/managed.htm?gclid=CPzo4rXA7ooCFQXUhgodBGEHkw - i like this one aside from the fruity colors
    http://www.taos.com/

    Hopefully these sites will help narrow the focus.
    Thanks!

    I like the design of the letters - very nice! - not sure about the flag/ax thing on top of the "O" though...

    Wow - such great designs so far - I am really impressed.

    Alneo - I still very much like your design with the idea of the cursor and explosion but I wonder if the style could be made a bit more business-like? Also, I am not so sure about my original idea of orange and blue for the colors...

    Mitcharr - cool design but looks a little rough around the edges

    Fidel - designs are great but a little too "fun"

    DustyDog - i like the latest - can you make the "o" bigger? and the one with the tick - maybe make the tick smaller? that gradient thing on the letters is really nice though

    Inkstar - like the logo with the swirling star better - am looking forward to seeing a larger version with more 'spice' - maybe a gradient or some other enhancement

    Thanks!
