Competition --------- This is a competition for a logo, that can be used on a website (www.bajta.si) and also for printing on T-shirts, promotional grafitti... Specification --------- The name bajta (noun) – is a word in Slovenian, meaning a shack/shanty/hovel/cottage/hut/small house. In our case it is an allegory for a common place for all subdivisions of the webpage and visiting people. The page itself will be an information-entertainment webpage covering news in a small region (about 70k people) in Slovenia (Europe) and will also consist of an interviews and blog section and a message board. The logo must consist of two parts, that can be separated and used on it's own – a stylized word bajta and a picture, drawing, whatever you may call it. If it's of any importance, the colours used and the page layout itself will be similar to this one ïƒ http://www.bzzagent.com/frog/FrogPond.do , but please, don't restrict yourself to these 3 colours. If you use different colours, please take notice, that the logo must be recognizable/readable in black and white. Please use vector graphics! Or high resolution raster graphics files, but we'll prefer vector graphics. How To Enter --------- To enter please post your entries below in .jpg format or send them in .jpg format to .

Hi! I'm in the "bajta" team also and one thing we forgot to mention and might be a usefull information is that the region we are going to cover consists of three separate valleys. Maybe it can be also applied to the logo design. Or not, use your imagination We wish you a happy new year and all best from Slovenia
@neilparnham The two parts of the logo don't have to necessarily be separated. But it's a good start. Try to draw the house a little more curvy or something
Here's my shot at it - 100% Scalable Vector - Original (House was hand sketched) Feedback Appreciated
watari - I like what you've made, but maybe you should try and do a variation with a little less detail on the house. Something between yours and neilparnhams should be right on spot. The same goes for scorpionagency, I think there's too much detail in your creation, we're looking for a kind of web2.0-ish fairly simple logo. wataris and neilparnhams logos are more or less in the right direction, but both need some polishing (as mentioned above).
I like the B inside the house (Y) !! Try another version without the chimney. I think it might look better. Edit: or maybe just without the lines..I don't know, something about the chimney..
