$50 - Logo contest for a Kennel

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by crazyfish, Apr 25, 2008.

    Winner receives $50 via paypal.

    As this is for a customer of mine please just use the word "WATERMARK" to mark your logos. Thanks.

    Company Name: Pakenham Country Kennels

    What they are looking for:
    City link: http://www.ottawapanoramas.com/QTVR valley/pakenhambridge.html

    I know it's a lot of detail but see what works.

    This will be used for the website, business cards, letterhead etc, so please provide a vector logo. That will work well in colour and black & white.

    Also I mind be looking for someone to design the website as well, I'm a bit busy, so if you have done any web design work include a link to your portfolio of sites with your entry. No coding needed.

    If you have any questions please ask them here or PM me.

    Deadline: April 29th 6pm EST.

    Thanks!

    No one interested at all? This is a bit surprising I have had multiple successful contest here before.

    i just made sketch, but when i saw it again, it very busy logo will be.
    It's not necessary to put all icons at 1 logo to representation business core.
    maybe you can talk to your client about this.. just my 2 cents thought mate.

    As Ariestoteles says, your client wants a lot in this, I have tried but it looks to too busy and cluttered.

    This may also be the reason for no entries.

    Good luck with it

    James ;)

    Hmmm, it didn't notify me about any of these replies. Sorry about the slow response.

    Yes, I know it's a lot of stuff to cramp into a logo, but I am open to having a good strong logo that represents a dog + cat kennel and then explain it to my client why it went this way.

    Please do submit some entries, I'll worry about my clients. As such I will extend the deadline to Thursday, May 1

    Hi Mike, thanks for the entry. Could you some how work a cat into the logo as well? Maybe try the lettering in green?

    I'll see about it. I am quite busy, and have to leave for class soon. However, if I get a chance and it looks decent enough to post I will do so.

    Right now I think I will have to cancel the contest. Right now the two owners can't agree on what they want. I'm trying to get them to simplify their logo at which point I will start a new contest.

    I want to say thanks to everyone that entered, and I am sorry this failed and I couldn't announce a winner.
