Contest Chose Business Name and Logo Design $50 - Paypal - 4 days

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by loopline, Aug 2, 2014.

    This contest is for both choosing the business name and designing the logo. (proceeds may be divided if one persons suggests a name that is chosen and another submits the design. See Financial Terms below) The customer does not know what they want to call their business or what they want in a logo.

    The business is a creative style business where they take ceramic things - think plates, bowels, coffee mugs, tooth brush holders, soap dispensers etc... and custom paint/color them. This can be for use anywhere in a house or business, and can encompass more then the above, could be a vase for example.

    By hand paint I mean they will write/draw/paint things on them, like these

    NOT figurines, wood, fabric, craft stuff like you see in some of them, but ceramic containers/dishes/accessories.

    Also things like ring dishes, change holders, accessories etc..

    Largely this is a reclaimed/recycled project. So most of the ceramic stuff comes from places like goodwill, salvation army, discarded items, etc... The vast majority of it is stuff discarded by people that will be re-purposed for new use. They do custom orders and they do their own designs as well.

    Choosing a Name ~~~~~~~~~~
    The name can focus on the fact that things are recycled/reclaimed/re-purposed, but it does not have to.

    On choosing the business name it has to be a name available to register in the state of Indiana, USA. You can check if one is available by going here:
    https://secure.in.gov/sos/online_corps/name_search.aspx

    Then choose full word search. If it shows
    There were no Entity Names found for your search criteria

    Then your good to go. They can't register a name thats already taken, legal battles are a bad way to start a business. :)


    Logo Design ~~~~~~~~~~~
    The customer has no specific colors or designs in mind, so you are free to be creative. Ideally the winning logo designer would be willing (at an additional cost) to design a banner down the road for the customer.

    Customer will give feedback along the way.




    Rules/Terms
    -Must be Original
    -Name must be available for registration in the state of Indiana USA (See above)
    -Reserve the right to end the contest early if a winner is chosen early
    -Reserve the right to extend the contest if no winner is chosen
    -Customer reserves the right to decline all entries if they do not like any of them, but agrees to then not use any suggested names or logo designs for their business (Ive never not had a customer be happy with at least 1 submission)
    -Final files must be delivered in .AI, .EPS or .PSD format, and also must have a Jpeg version
    -You MAY submit only a business name or a logo design. Obviously the business name would have be chosen and announced in the thread prior to logo only submissions being accepted. See Financial Terms below for respective payouts.



    Financial Terms
    -Payment is Via Paypal
    -Payment will be made within 24 hours or less of winner being chosen.
    -If customer decides that they like 1 name and a different logo then the winning name chooser will get $20 and $30 will go to the logo designer (assuming that the designer adapts the logo to the new name, if they submitted both orignially).




    Of Relevance - The customers personal mantra is all about the phrase "Simple but Elegant" so if you can apply that concept here, meaning a logo that is excessively busy is probably not a good direction to head. Also elegant doesn't mean some shoddy clip art plastered on a coffee mug. I am NOT saying that you should put that text in the logo, just that as a creative concept that is there mindset.
