I need the following done:

Title: Logo
Description:
1. I need a logo for a Sonic The Hedgehog fan site.

2. The logo should say "Sonic Fighters". It's a fighting site, so it should have a fighting feel to it.

3. You can see examples of Sonic logos here. Along with the logo I need it to be in a banner with a good background design. You can add Sonic characters in the background if it looks better that way.

4. Under Sonic Fighters(in the banner) it should say Chat and Role Play Sonic Style.

5. So for you entry show me the logo, and then show me the logo with the banner.

6. If you need Sonic images, then you can go here.

Payment: PayPal
Deadline: 72 hours

Title: Buttons
Description:

1. I need 4 buttons.
   
2. One should say "Getting Started", another "Tell A Friend", another "Newsletter, and another "Donate".
   
3. They need to have a Sonic character in them, and have a good background.
   
4. Each button should have a different background(it can be recolors), and a different Sonic character.
   
5. You can find Sonic characters images here.
6. The button should be a rounded rectangle.

Examples of the type of buttons I like are:

Note: If you need to download any Sonic or Sega font go here.


I reserve the right to close the contest without choosing a winner if I don't see any good designs. But I've seen some awesome designs here, so I doubt that will happen. I also reserve the right to choose a winner early and extend the deadline.

 

Here are my logo and banner entries, i will work on the buttons asap, can be altered if you need, feedback appeciated

Logo:


Banner Idea 1 :



Banner Idea 2 :

 

The logo doesn't have any fighting feel to it, and it's plain. I looking for logos like you see here, here, and the others logos here that aren't plain.

 

ok will have a go, here is a button idea anyhwo, it will have different charactes for each option

 

the logos you linked have no fighting feel either, how would you like fighting feel injected into the design?

 

Basically it should be a logo that would go good with a fighting game. I really don't have any specifics except I want it more than just using a Sonic font and typing Sonic Fighters. Maybe have a fist or weapon in the logo, and/or an image of Sonic The Hedgehog in it or have one of the letters in Sonic Fighters resemble Sonic, for example have the S have quills on it like Sonic. You don't have to design what I said in the previous sentence, they are examples.

Examples:
1
2
3(Have to copy and paste link in your browser.)
4
5
6
7

 

hows this, more aggressive looking i think

 

I would like something more with the font "Sonic Fighters", like add a background to it, make the S have quills in it like Sonic, things like that. You don't have to follow what I just said, they are just examples. My previous post gives good examples of what I'm expecting.

 

ok will re-try, how does the button look?

 

Count me in for the logo. Gonna try something in photoshop.

 

I think the background should be a lighter blue. I think the pink font should be outline.

 

like this?

 

Here is my try. Opinions and suggestions welcome.

 

Here is the logo, if you like it then I can put in a banner

 

Ok, I guess I should be more specific now. After looking at the current logos, I don't like how there isn't much concentration on the words "Sonic Fighters". From now on I would like to see logos without Sonic images in it unless it's custom or else the logo comes out feeling like it's based off a current Sonic game or show.

What I'm expecting is to have Sonic's head or quills somewhere in the logo. It can be in the S of Sonic or partially behind Sonic Fighters. In the background of the logo should be flames or lightning or electricity or something that stands out like Rezki's did with the yellow background, except it should be behind Sonic Fighters. Then in the middle(or a place that's a good spot) of the logo could be a fist that comes out at the viewer.

I prefer seeing peoples own design, but currently there seems to be little concentration on "Sonic Fighters" and there's use of official Sonic images in the logo. That's fine with the banner, but not the logo. But if you have something cool in mind, then you can submit it.

 

SONIC!
One of my favorite game characters, I'll definetly make something for you...
First off did you want the SA type Sonic or classic?

 

I'm just not feeling that background design. Maybe it's the coloring because it still comes off as to dark. Also I would like some kind of border around the button, and for the button to be a rounded rectangle.

 

What do you mean by SA type Sonic or classic? As in for the font or images?

 

In Sonic Adventure, Sonic characters were redesigned these characters are referred to as SA style Sonic...
Classic Sonic is the retro styled Sonic characters...
Hope this helps

 

I know that. I just didn't get what you will use them for. If you mean the banner and buttons, it can be any style.
