$25 Logo Contest for crawmTEK Laboratories

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by crawm1, Aug 18, 2008.

    I need a Logo for my SEO company. I looking for something creative and eye-catching. I would like it to have a graphic to the left of the text; maybe a beaker, electricity, or something else scientific-looking. These links will give you a feel for what I am looking for (please don't use photos; I prefer a clipart-style graphic).
    Beaker
    Jacob's Ladder

    Feel free to use either of the following, depending on which looks better. I think I prefer the longer "laboratories", but I'm not opposed to seeing what "labs" looks like in a logo.
    crawmTEK Laboratories
    crawmTEK Labs

    I strongly prefer original artwork.

    Contest closes in 7 days.

    Thanks and good luck!

    Victoria Ann,
    Thanks for the submission. It's a good start, but I'm looking for something with a more scientific feel. Try replacing the bulb with a graphic more similar to the attached picture of the triangular-shaped beaker (on right).

    Or I also like the idea of using a graphic of a Jacob's Ladder (static electricity model that you see in Frankenstein movies). Please don't use photos for the logo though. I prefer clipart-style graphics.

    Thanks!

    Thank you all for your entries. I will be reopening the contest by Monday at the latest (possibly this weekend). There may be a runner-up prize awarded as well, so keep your ideas coming.

    Thanks for the submission. I would like the text to have upper and lower case. And, I like the bolt of electricity, but not really the two half circles; try it with different borders.

    I am working on a tagline, and will include that in the next thread.

    Thanks!

    Here are some ideas from me. Let me know any feedback and I will make revisions for you. I can try different fonts and color on the text. I was not sure if you had any set color scheme or if you wanted a black or white background.

    I like your second submission the most. Try putting "Laboratories" in black text, below "crawmTEK" and put the following tagline above crawmTEK, right justified:
    "Creative web marketing and design"

    As for your other two entries, I may have miscommunicated what I am looking for when I said "clip-art-style graphics". I want something with more gradient and a cutting edge, professional feel. See my new thread for a better description of what I want. I encourage you to use the green triangular beaker I referenced in the post and follow the same guidelines as above for the text.
