Contest $100 LOGO Contest - 72 Hrs!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by junior3701, Sep 15, 2012.

    I need a logo designed for my offline business. The name of the company is Marine Coatings & Linings, LLC

    Here is what we do:
    -Sandblast https://www.google.com/search?q=san...OIG09QTy4IDABA&ved=0CKABELAE&biw=1920&bih=929
    -Paint http://www.goodwestlining.com/news-2-WaterFiltration.php
    -And we specialize in all types of barges (hopper, tank, deck, etc.... barges) https://www.google.com/search?q=bar...g&biw=1920&bih=929&sei=v6pUUK7QB4Lg8ATl-4CQDA

    I included links to simply give you an idea of what we do. I don't want those images included. I would prefer some image of painting over blasting but if both can be included that would be OK.

    I want the company name incorporated somehow as well.

    I will give some feedback but I cannot stay on DP all day long so I will check this thread a couple times a day until the contest is over and give recommendations.

    The contest lasts 72 hours.... It would be wise to get your entry in early so you can get some feedback.

    I will pay via Paypal only.

    If, for whatever reason, nobody comes up with a design even close to my liking, I have the right to close the contest with no winner. So watermark your images if you'd like, that's no problem. If you are chosen as the winner, you will be paid.

    Ok, if you have any questions, let me know and I'll try my best to answer them.

    Oh, and this is a LOGO.... something that I will be putting on T-shirts, business cards, etc... and maybe a website in the future but right now... it's not for a website.

    OK...... Let me see what you got!

    thanks for the interest guys, but I'm seeing a lot that show some sort of sandblasting image, but none that have painting. Like I posted in the Original Post, if you can fit both a sandblasting image and painter image in the logo, then that's fine, but if not, then my preference would be to show a painter.

    This one is closer to what I'm looking for but not quite there yet. Not thrilled about the text for sure.... and it's missing the LLC at the end. It should say Marine Coatings & Linings, LLC

    To everyone else, I'm going to give you a few examples of logos I like and why I like them. That doesn't mean I want replicas, I'm simply showing you some ideas of what I like.

    37walter.jpg
    I like how this is simple, but still shows at one glance that it's a paint company. That doesn't mean I want a paint brush in my logo necessarily because my business is different than the above. Just showing.

    scs_logo.jpg
    Again, simple and to the point.

    40ConstructionLogos_12.jpg
    Nice clean logo... obviously different field than I, but clean and simple... shows its a construction company with custom woodwork right off the bat

    I could come up with these all day but I think maybe you get the point. This is going to represent our company on business cards and shirts... I want simplicity, but effectiveness. I don't want people to necessarily have to "figure out" what we do... but at the same time, I don't want it over the top.

    Actually i really like this one. I may have worded my last post wrong.... i DO want a painting logo... just prefer a spray gun instead of a paint brush. I was just trying to compare the different logos for different types of businesses... they are a paint company but
    most likely paint houses and buildings where we paint barges and other marine vessels so the majority of our worm is with a spray gun instead of a brush.

    That said i really like the logo just wish you could somehow incorporate a spray gun instead

    Not sure whether this will work well or not, but at least I ended up making a spray but worried about the gun, I should try and make something which looks perfect to match your logo. Please do suggest me a gun so that I can do my best.
