Need a LOGO for my blog (Ready to Pay $5)

Thanks for that.... Well I have gone thru some of the thread to see what others are paying for logos and i find that $5 is the standard... But I have already said to some of the users that am ready to pay even more if the logo is good.

 

eruct's is worth more than $5.

 

I know.. It's the same exact thing which is very stupid. It's text..

Who CAN'T do that?

 

The most successful companies have plain-text logos since they're more professional, and better.

 

Yes absolutely.... thats why I choose a plain text for my logo and gave guidelines according to that.... Checkout my current logo http://www.minterest.com/

 

eruct, may I ask how you made those cut-out curves from some letters?

 

hmm not bad for $5. i need to get a new logo designed for my travel site routeaustralia, willing to pay more than $5.

 

Love it , good work!

 

agree with intrinzik

 

I would assume he used a 1px stroke that was the same colour as the background, and then perhaps adjusted the kerning so that the letters overlapped slightly. Well, that's how I would do it anyway

 

I beg to differ. You will also find that certain other extremely successful companies happen to use just a mark. To say that plain text logos are more professional is complete tosh. It all boils down to implementation. A crap font isn't going to make a good brandable logotype; but having said that neither is a crap mark.

 

Just look at Microsofts LOGO.... I love it but stilll its simple with no mark or image....

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about stroke. Although I was hoping to not have to create the letters seperately to acheive the result.

Good point, the first logo that popped into my head was FedEx and Amazon.com.

 

Did you actually read my post?
