$50 Logo for Textbook Store

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by camt, Aug 6, 2009.

  1. #1
    Project Overview:
    I need a logo designed that says "PeerTexts" for a website that is an eCommerce textbook store.

    Since the websites sells textbooks to students, they would somehow like this incorporated into their logo. ie: MySpace / Napster has headphones on their logo since they are music oriented. This website should someone incorporate a book or something to do with university / college if possible.

    Logo Tag line: 'Lend. Borrow. Save.'
    Preferably this should be located on the bottom right corner of the logo, however the designer could experiment with something else.

    The client is unsure if they want the name listed as "PeerTexts", "Peertexts", or "peertexts". For the purpose of the competition, it is fine to just make 1 version for your logo, but the final submission will need all 3.


    Design Style:
    The client really likes clean Web 2.0 logos and has provided some sample logos that they really like the style of (below).

    They would like the logo to be in 2 colours, and hopes the designer will use any 2 of these colours: Blue, Red, Purple, Orange, Light Black, Grays


    Sample Logos / Designs:
    Here are a few sample logos that the client really likes the design/style of (for reference purposes only):
    sample 1
    sample 2
    sample 3
    sample 4

    I am always open to designers thoughts and ideas, so feel free to "break the rules" if you think you have a good idea, but please do understand that logos of quality similar to the links provided are needed. If you can't provide a logo of that quality / style, I won't have much feedback for you.


    Deadline: Monday Aug 10, 2009 at 6pm EST
    Please do not wait until the last minute to submit a design. We are hoping to see many logos to review and select send feedback / revision requests quickly.
    (we reserve the right to change the contest deadline if necessary, we will extend the deadline if more time is needed)

    Payment: $50 USD via PayPal
    (please notify me in advance if you need an alternate to PayPal)

    Contest Deliverables:
    1. Design a logo
    2. Supply all source files & source materials (photos, images, fonts, etc.)
    notes: logo must be in vector format, scalable to any size, and suitable for both print and web


    ---------------
    Terms:
    By accepting payment you agree to the following terms: this competition is being run as a contractual job through my company and you are working as a subcontractor. Your works will be re-sold to my client(s). All fully editable source files with fonts and sources for all photos and images (if applicable) must be transferred to me. The designer (you) can display all works in your portfolio. The winner cannot re-sell any works, modified or unmodified, designed for this competition. You may not contact my client(s) directly for any reason. All work produced must be 100% original by you.

    tajio - no worries, you have a few days.

    TDGraphics - thanks for the submission. Looks great, the T is a bit hard to read though, looks like a J, you think you can try a modification or different font? thanks.

    okay here is my try.

    I used a book and kept the design simple and clean.
    I decided to put the slogan on the right as it suits the design it better in my opinion

    [​IMG]


    Here I put the slogan on the right as mentioned.

    here I put the text in bold

    TDGraphics - nice work, thanks for the revision, a lot easier to read now!

    you_love_me44 - nice colours, but I don't think the client will like the fade and the grafiti style logo. maybe you want to try a revision with a different font?

    umxca - great work! I think you achieved my specifications 100%

    samir_designs - thanks for the submissions, but I don't find the quality up to par with the samples that were provided.

    Fraz! - very nice. Do you think your could try another font for the peertexts part though? How it is right now, it looks a little too mixed up and unevenlly space. the colours, concept, and tag line are great though.

    Subesh this is just too simple.

    umxca - thanks for a second try. both submissions are great. my only suggestion is to break the books up a bit, it looks like 1 item right now. Maybe swap the orange and blue in the middle book?

    ricky445 - thanks but that's not really a logo....the book can't be used for print and is not vector.

    redeemer - thanks but not quite up to par with the quality of the samples provided
