$1,000 Contest - Mascot/Logo/Header Design & Illustration

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by x.marty.x, Aug 4, 2009.

  1. #1
    REQUIREMENTS

    I need you to design and illustrate an awesome unique mascot and logo for my personal blog. The winners work will be used in my next contest so that the designers can create a website/blog design around the mascot and logo. The mascot will be me so it needs to look something like me, I guess you'll need a couple of photos to help:

    Photo 1
    Photo 2
    Photo 3
    Photo 4

    I feel a little uncomfortable posting those. I want the mascot to look like me and I want you to design a scene to drop him in that will be used in the header of the website design. You can revolve the scene/illustration around any of these things: pool, money, the internet, the office, guitars, movies, music, UFC (ultimate fighting), mountain scenery, sports cars (lamborghini) or maybe a combination, or all of these things if you're feeling really creative. It's got to be fun, cool and extremely detailed.

    • Mascot must be full-size (head-to-toe).
    • Mascot must have blue eyes.
    • Mascot must have a rolex watch on the left wrist.
    • Logo must be fresh and just say Marty's Blog.

    PRIZES

    #1 - $500
    #2 - $300
    #3 - $200

    SOUND OFF
    • Contest ends on August 14th.
    • All work must be unique, I don't want to see any copied work here.
    • Please don't submit entries by PM, keep them here.
    • I won't be picking a winner if the submissions don't reach the standard and quality that I'm looking for.

    A great second contest, I know that there are some very talented designers who specialise in illustration, so you are sure to get some good results with this prize fund.

    Most of the illustrators here don't enter contests, Only about 3-5 of them do, But they're really good.

    I dont quite understand,
    Mascot and logo are different
    So is it 1000 $ for the mascot only ? or mascot and logo both ?

    500 $ to winner but its like 250 mascot and 250 logo ?
    Please clarify

    I believe you need to design the mascot and logo for his header, like johncow

    500 for first place, 300 for second, etc.

    I'll be entering this contest. May take me a few days to make anything high-quality.

    I really look forward to seeing others entries too. This should be fun. :D

    That's right!

    There will only be three prizes if I get enough high quality entries, if I can only pick one winner then they will get the full $1,000.

    hi I am not that good at creating Mascots, if I can design just the logo, would there be any prize ? If you could split the prize möney in to logo and mascot, it would be great.

    Pretty cool start.

    It looks and feels a bit too much like a cardboard cut-out though, not really sure why, could be that huge thick border. I got big feet eh :p.

    Yeah that's not really what I'm going for, I'm expecting a little more for the price I'm paying.

    I appreciate your efforts though.

    I'm really looking for something similar to this type of work.

    This was done for $50, I'm paying out $1,000 and no one seems to be interested. I'm confused.

    If you want quality stuff, you need to wait a bit. I will turn in an entry in a day or so. So, don't give up on the contest just yet. ;)
