    I agree but most of the people on these forums are trying to make money and their interest is not in serving the client or providing the contest holder with something they can be proud of, it's understandable though because most of the time the people holding these contests have no idea about design and will pick something totally irrelevant. Time and time again I see a brilliant logo posted and a piece of garbage will win. If you do the Nike swoosh it's too basic, if you did full-blown clipart piece it's too complicated. The only way a decent logo gets designed is when the contest holder "sits" down with one person, expresses their needs and has them refine it over and over until they're happy. I don't do logo design as a profession but I have been an illustrator for many years and so I know the industry and these contests are nothing more than making a quick buck or two but as long as the contest holder doesn't feel like they're throwing their money away then it's job done. You can't knock the hustle...

    Good points all of you...

    Currently UMXCA has the nicest looking logo. Perhaps try and make it look a little bit like an "F" without losing its shape...


    - I just saw yours now. It is lovely. Try and do a little extra with it and I may go with it.


    More entries are welcome.

    Thank you.

    I believe you've just proved bakerbaker's point.
    While UMXCA does have a nice icon - it is completely irrelevant to "music" and looks like a "movie" icon. To be more blunt it looks like a twisted piece of film.......

    I agree, but then again, I was not sure on what I wanted. The two I mentioned before I like the most, but for the time being, I am leaning towards the little boxing guy as the logo. Perhaps add small angry eyes on him or something? See how that goes?

    I am not fond of the text. Keep it as you had it before, but put a small face on it (kinda like the napster logo). But I am liking what I see :)

    "completely irrelevant" I disagree, Music was originally recorded on tape. I know that the concept goes back in time but there are so many cd's and headphone logos out there I thought I would try something different. A centerpiece for a 45 record is actually going back in time as well :) And I am sure there are going to be music videos on the site as well.
    Let's let the CH run this contest and critique the designs and let the designers design.

    Hey dude :)

    Okay, thats good. This time, put the two objects how they were originally, with the clear cut out running through the red part, and the center "half holes" flush with the edges of the shape. (Pretty much how you had it before, but with the clear cut out there. Lets see how that looks :)

    Thank you :)

    Almost perfect. With (3), take out the smiley face and make it part of the red, but the bottom part, add a small mouth. Lets see how that looks :)

    Thank you :)

    Umm...not really like that dude. I was thinking, leave it how you had it, with the open (clear bottom), and just put a mouth in there. Kinda like this.

    I am sure you can make it better though :)
