Logo for new Watch Forum

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by TVDinner, Sep 15, 2009.

    Hello everyone.

    Launching a site that will be mainly a general forum for Watch Collectors and fans of owning/collecting/buying watches - all brands.

    The name of the site is Watch Freeks (notice spelling of freeks)

    I need a catchy logo that is clean yet creative and fun. What I mean is that the logo needs to be professional, but also capture the creativity of the industry. The people visiting this site on a regular basis will be people who are used to a wide variety of watch brands, all levels of collecting (low and high end) and are very passionate about watches.

    Colors: Looking for logo with dark blue, grays, with a hint of brighter colors.
    I am open to any shape or size for consideration, but 400 px by 130 px is a good size to use to start.

    Please be creative!

    After the winning design is chosen I will need files in layed psd or pdf format (for Photoshop use)

    Payment: $25 Payment will be sent via PayPal.

    Thank you for the submission. I have had many logos made from this site. So NOT to influence other initial designs that are being worked on, I am going to wait until tomorrow to comment on the first few submitted logos.

    not bad, but I would probably like to see 3 actual watches for the watches to the upper right (like a Rolex, Breitling, Seiko or something like that)
    Also I am not sure what the image to the left side is and it might get lost.
    Maybe some dark blue accents some how.

    Thanks.

    also not bad, but it does not immediately grab me.
    the tag line effort is pretty good.

    Anyone else :)

    I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. i never received notification that a new post had been made.

    I like the direction you are going in, but I feel that the little guy is somewhat gimmicky. Do you think there is a way to rework it without the little man.

    also for design sake can you put on a c0c0c0 background. and then use the same blue.

    Thank you!

    Hi ashishvrm
    can you please make the blue 0309fc
    can you please make the background c0c0c0
    can you please make the letters yellow,or white - I am not sure on this yet.

    Finally, now it seems unbalanced because the watches are only on one side. Now I am not sure what the solution is, other then maybe adding 3 watches to the other side.

    If you need more watch pics here are 3 other watches to use - http://limitededitionswatches.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/pan1.jpg
    http://www.invictawatch.com/new/product/images/9820.jpg
    http://www.antiquorum.com/eng/press/2008/img_oct08_ny/oct08_014.jpg

    **for everyone else, I AM NOT saying that I require or want actual watch images in the logo. i am just looking at it on this one particular logo.

    Thanks! :)

    No, they aren't, unless the CH wants to take the risk of being sued by someone. Clipart/Stock sites also provide a user agreement that everyone agrees to when they download, it specifically states that NONE of the clipart/stock can be used to brand a company in their logo.

    Revised Concept
    Eliminated the abstract guy holding the pocket watch & added the specified background color.
