Simple Logo contest winner gets $25

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by proteindude, Aug 31, 2007.

    Hello Guys,

    I need a new logo called Chocolate Flavour. It must also contain the word concentrated above the Chocolate Flavour.

    So when you look at the logo it should read Concentrated (smaller letters/less importance) CHOCOLATE FLAVOUR

    In other words concentrated should appear first but CHOCOLATE FLAVOUR is the main part of the logo.

    I prefer something natural and simple looking (not web 2) with a small icon if you so desire. The icon could be a chocolate bean, or a chocolate shake or chocolate smoothie etc. It's up to you.

    I will let this contest run at least until Monday. And for those of you who are not living down under (Australia), we do spell it flavour not flavor. Any questions please let me know. Good luck and thanks to all who intend to give this a go.

    Thanks for the mighty fast entry Hecky. I prefer (but it's not necessary) for the layout to look like this

    concentrated
    CHOCOLATE
    FLAVOUR

    One on top of the other. Sorry but I am not much of a design/graphics expert so I can't express myself in easy to understand design terms. Yours is a very nice pleasant entry and the only downside is that it's a little hard to read. But other than that it looks good.

    To those who don't know me: whenever I provide feedback I am not meaning to ask you to do changes, because I hate to waste your time if I feel your entry is not going to win.
    However, I do feel like I owe to give feedback since you took the time to enter my competition, and this is something I appreciate.

    Monty: Thanks for the entry. Very nice and pleasant concept. I do feel like it can be improved though. It's simple which it's something I want but I also feel it's plain. It is very stylish but I am not sure about those lines running through Chocolate Flavour. I once made a mistake because of my monitor, but I think the design would look a lot better if the colours you used were more like chocolaty colours (brown or somethink like chocolate). Great idea with the chocolate bean. Looks good

    Ace: Thanks for the entry. I can't see it too well though. It's not something I am after. From what I see you went more for a web 2 look and I was after something more natural looking. The colours you chose do look good as they look very chocolaty but this is too little to make me consider this logo.

    Also, I am off to bed now (really late over here) so it will be a while before I can post some replies/feedback.

    I am editing this entry because I just saw loko's post. Want to provide feedback before I go to dream about chocolate logos.

    Loko: thanks for the entry. I am sorry but it's not really doing it for me. I like the brown you chose for Chocolate Flavour but other than that I don't see how purple fits in with the chocolate theme. And again, your entry looks a little web 2ish which it's not something I am after.

    Well how about this one?

    Thanks for the feedback, i love feedback, but where will it go? on a website? just need a feeling of what it needs to fit into and how big the final one needs to be. The thing is that small ice cream thing does not look very good when you scale it to fit onto say the side of an ice cream truck

    Hi proteindude! Yet another fun contest you're putting on! I thought I would enter.
    Not simple, as you are requesting, but it was fun to create. :D

    Providing feedback:

    Ari, thanks for the entry. Like most of your other entries it is a very stylish and elegant one. I can't always give out all details as that will confuse the entrants. Again, your logo looks great but it doesn't match with my needs. That is because this concentrated chocolate flavour will be added to cold drinks. Your flames or steam look good but would not match. This is not a nice polite way of me saying I don't like your logo, because I do. It's just it does not match.

    Ace: thanks for the new tries. You asked about where it will go. I will mainly use it on some small flavour sachets labels as well as on my website (which is still being redesigned). I am not sure which is more important: the website or the sachets. The logo needs to look good on the website so they will buy the flavour. They will only see the label AFTER they bought it. So a bit of both: website and label. The label finished size will be 60mm by 60mm. Now getting back to your entries: the new entries look better but I have to be honest and say they look ok, but there are better ones in this contest. I like the colours and the way you simplified it but it's still a little plain.

    Moonty: I would love you to work on the design a little more. I am sure it will look much better once you changed the colours to more chocolate like shades. But, the dilemma for me at the same time I don't want to waste your time because there are a couple of other very strong entries. So it's up to you.

    Kia: thanks for the entry. You make things hard for me. Your design looks very different from the other entries and yet it looks very suitable. It's very chocolatey. I agree with Hecky: "I think I could just take a bite out of that . Good use of the emboss though." The only downside with your logo is the colours could look more chocolatey. It could be my screen but I think the colours could be improved. You don't have to do changes yet (don't like to waste people's time) but I am sure you can change the colours if I choose your design.

    Expressions: thanks for the entry. First of all let me agree with NightVision: "xpressions,your logo is just amazing :)" Very poshy, very elegant. I would not change anything.

    At the moment my top two are Kia and Expressions. Two very different entries and yet both are very, very chocolatey.

    Keep up the good work guys and thanks for entering my contest.

    Thank you, NightVision, and thank you ProteinDude. Please let me know if you would like to see any revisions. I may have a couple of revisions of my own, when I get back to my home pc. Cheers!

    Well now that you mentioned it :) ... In Australia we spell it flavour (with an u). I am sure like with everything you can add some small touches to improve things but this is a great design.

    Ari, thanks for the entry. I somehow liked your first one better. This is a great entry but the icon is a little too modern and complex. I was after something more natural looking. The chocolate font and colour is great. Looks very chocolatey. But other than that I am sorry this concept is not what I am after.
