$50 - Upcoming social network logo and name

Type of Contest : LOGO Design and Name
Prize : $25.00 or $50.00 via PayPal
Contest End Date & Time : Dec 17, Midnight PST

Size Requirements : Vector

Color Requirements : None, but ideally it would be neutral (white or two toned). Think simplicity and branding.

General Requirements : Simple, friendly yet not childish. Facebook, Bebo, Bing, Google (to a degree), Coca Cola and other brands are good examples. Generally neutral in many ways (age, theme, etc).

Additional Information : As said, I need both a name and a logo, with the name being the highest priority (a logo is definitely a need though).

Basically, I need a name that references collections/groups of people interacting with each other in one place. A name that's simple and tasteful like Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites have. Obviously "groupsbook" or so wouldn't be taken seriously by even the ones working on it. I need a name that people can remember and reuse, and trendy/brandable.

Also, for name types, don't be afraid of making ones that are acronyms (like Bebo, Blog Early Blog Often) or otherwise hidden meanings (like Google from googol). Creative approaches always work great in branding needs.

For the logo, just remember like I mentioned, simple is more to me. It's the tone, the branding, the personality that matters.

About Price : As you can see, I put two prices up there. The idea is that we're willing to award for both the logo and the name. That said, they do not have to be the same person, if we don't like the logo but like the name, that person gets $25. If we like the logo but not the name, the person gains $25. If we like both, the winner will get the full $50.

-------------------------------

While I cannot guarantee a winner, I can consider reimbursing designers who put effort into this contest. I'm a designer myself, and am in the industry. I know how frustrating this can be when you give your time for essentially a gamble.

Thanks everyone for the submissions, DCalonaci has the closest one we're looking for, but not one for a decision. Remember that while symbolic can be good, typography is what we're looking for. The site is about getting to know people from multiple groups of any topic (people with similar interests tend to connect better than random invites), so the typography should reference that feel and emotion; what would best set the vibe of wanting to socialize (chat) in various groups/themes.

We've decided on a name that should be final (internally, unfortunately for those that wanted a shot): Groopi. Best references the service with a potentially trendy name that can be used as a nickname/pronoun. It essentially can reference a person of a group. Updating my original post to reflect this change.

Thanks for the efforts, still willing to grab a logo. Emphasis in typography to communicate style and personality.

 

Due to the nature of the editing feature here, I cannot modify the thread. So, unfortunately, the contest is canceled for now.

Biggest apologies to those who enter, we really did appreciate your work!
