Quick $30 Logo Contest for Solar Related Blog

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by davidcubed, Dec 17, 2007.

    Hi all, I am looking for a simple, but effective logo for my new blog, Solar Hype.

    The concept I am looking for is an image like this:
    http://www.northerntool.com/images/product/images/339975_lg.jpg

    Using a nice blue colour like this:
    http://www.germes-online.com/direct/dbimage/50232321/Solar_Panel.jpg

    Here is a quick example with my limited abilities:
    http://xfep.com/sh_logo_mockup.jpg
    -the line is "supposed" to be a black cord going under the name of the site. The end of the cord to not have prongs please.

    Here is one without the logo, so you can fit in your own:
    http://xfep.com/solarhype_hd.jpg

    The prize is $30, and the time frame is over the next 2 days.

    Do you want the logo the same concept you started such as the cord and solar panel?

    You can take it in other directions, but I am really looking for something to fit my vision. Don't let that stop you though if you have a better idea. :)

    -You don't need to change the text at all. The basic Tahoma I am using is fine. Also your graphic doesn't fit the size constraints I am looking for.

    I don't want a plug on the end. The panel looks like you just took an image and pasted it on there. Not really a fan, sorry.


    -I like your concept. If I were to make changes, again, I'd use my text, with the tahoma font. And turn around the solar thing so its facing the text, and remove the sun and maybe instead use the light ray effect like on:
    http://www.bartelme.at/journal/archive/rays_of_light

    And I guess it doesn't need a cable coming off it. :)

    I'm sorry, but you aren't getting closer to what I am looking for. I am looking for something to fit in the limited space of the header graphic I have provided. Also, using random images that you've taken from search engines or whatever is not what I am looking for. Look at Aight's entry for a closer example to what I need.

    I have basically given you guys all you need to complete this for me. Did I put it under the wrong title or something? Aight - If you come back and make the minor modifications, you have the best chance of winning out of the two people that have entered.

    Otherwise, this contest is still open. I hope to get something decent soon.

    Thanks again to everyone that has checked this thread out.

    i can increase the quality on this quite a bit, but for times sake i just used photoshop transform to throw a preview together with some different looks.

    it can all be edited quite easily, this was just a 40 min quickie. if interested, feel free to drop me some feed back and i'd be willing to give it one more go.

    Thanks! It could be better, it was late and I have to work today, but I always enjoy contests. After looking at some of the other entries, particularly aights, (very nice!) my wire looks bad, haha. But that can be modified later if need be.

    For the solar panel, I modified the supplied photograph from the original post, (I can't post links yet). The font used is bauwreck, I believe.
