Hi All, I'm opening a contest for a small startup company logo. The name of the company is: More in Store Marketing, LLC I want to make your job as easy as possible, so here is some more information: 1) The logo will be used in multiple media, so it must work well on something as small as a business card and large as a sign. It must also look good in print and black & white newspaper print, as well as on the web. In other words, it will be used in our website and also possibly flyers, business cards and posters, so we will need a re-sizeable printable format as well. From what I understand, I will also need it as a vector file. 2) Please do not use gradients or shading. They tend to look “muddy†in newsprint. 3) Colors: I’d like a rich blue (please only use web safe colors) and stick with all one color or two shades of one color. 4) The logo should just be the name – any design elements need to be incorporated within the font. I don’t want extra graphics outside of the name. 5) I’d like the logo on two lines since the name is so long. 6) As far as the style is concerned, I’m looking for something bold, fresh and contemporary - yet classy. I’d like to use rich blues. 7) The “LLC†needs to be there (but very small!). 8) I’d like to see it with both a white background and a black background. 9) Before final payment, winner should be able to provide: a) names of fonts used b) colors used c) logo in vector, .psd and .jpg formats Payment via PayPal on completion. We reserve the right to not choose any logo if we don't like them, but I'm sure this will not happen. Competition will remain open for 10 days or until a suitable entry is found. Any questions please ask in this thread or pm me. If you intend to enter this contest just drop a line in this thread saying you're going to enter it! Thanks! ~Stephanie
Nobody's interested? If not, can you at least tell me why? Too many guidelines? (I thought it will help telling you what I wanted now instead after you have the design done) Not enough money? Too much money? Thanks for your input. ~Stephanie
What I meant is, I need this information for the logo that wins the contest. So that statement only applies to the winner of the contest. Does that answer your question? Thanks!
We're off to a good start! I have some feedback to share. @Gorgon - The first design is a little too traditional for me. I'm looking for something more contemporary. While I like your second design because it has more interest, I don't think it's clear for someone who is not already familiar with the name. I'd love to see something else from you that is a little more contemporary and fresh. HINT: I don't like serif fonts @IM3D - I like the fact that you incorporated graphics in the "O"s and the "A" in Marketing. That's exactly what i'm looking for since I don't want graphics outside of the name. Just to clarify, More in Store Marketing is not a 'store', so the shopping cart graphic doesn't really work. If you can convey something like 'results-driven' or 'creativity', that would be awesome. I think your arrow in the first "O" conveys the 'results-driven' because it looks like an increase in profits And the LLC in the circle is nice! @Ariestoteles - The shopping bag doesn't really fit my business (see comments for IM3D), but I do like the fact that you were creative with using design within the font. I also like the LLC going up the side because it's not too intrusive. Do you think you can show me something a little more contemporary and fresh? For all entries - I found a blue I like to make it easier for everyone. RGB: 51,0,153. Please feel free to use more than one color, but use a matching shade of the blue and no gradients or shading. In case you're interested in my reasoning - when I have things printed, I'll only have to pay for one color as opposed to four color printing - which is a huge difference in price! Thanks everyone! I look forward to seeing more entries!
here is revision. Yes it's an arrow in the first "O" to show an increase in profits. there is an arrow too on "K" in Marketing but it's hard to see it. I hope it's OK to use bulp on second "O" for creativity There are logos with positive. negative and black background here
