$15 Logo Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by CyprusMike, Jul 11, 2009.

    As the title says, I’m having a $15 competition to find a logo for a forex trading related website. I’ve recently changed the template, and am in the process of overhauling the site. The site is called The Forex Village, and you can see it at http://www.theforexvillage .com.

    I’m looking for something clean, simple and professional looking. Visually, I’d like the ‘The’ to play a less prominent role than the other 2 words (maybe a different size/font/lowercase). For ideas, and to get a feel of what I’m looking for, I really like the logo of this site – http://actionforex .com. Something clean, understated, to sit at the top left hand side of the site.

    Any questions let me know, and I look forward to seeing your entries!

    OK, there are some REALLY great logos here, lots of creativity. Some initial thoughts/feedback:

    @Metallik – nice, but can you add some colours which match the template?

    @onlyfights – very interesting - definitely one of the front runners. Need to sleep on this one. Could you try using a font more in tune with the template?

    @soulslasher6 – a bit too simplistic, I’m not crazy about the font to be honest.

    @s-tan - very nice indeed – I’d really like to see this in colours which match the template, but this definitely fits the brief, and I really like those 2 arrows!

    @Allyanora – you’ve put a lot of effort into this, and it’s a great design, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for.

    @ vtopaloff – You are so far my number one choice – I love it. But can you try and incorporate the ‘The’ in the logo – but other than that you have completely read my mind.

    @wirelessdesigning – very creative, but I don’t think it would fit in the header, and it’s just not my cup of tea – but a great design, and thanks.

    @muianol – interesting – can you lose the arrow, then it could work really well.

    @wass28 – I LOVE the creativity with the ‘X’ and the ‘V’. Can you change the font though, it’s really not flicking my switches.

    @apexx by PM – I really like how you have incorporated the ‘THE’ into the logo. Could you try to maybe change the font – it looks a bit too squashed up at the moment – also could you match the exact colour as the template?

    Guys, overall I am so impressed, you’re ticking my boxes, and I’m really spoilt for choice - it’s an embarrassment of riches, it’s just a shame there has to be one winner. I hope that I have given you all some honest and useful feedback, and I look forward to seeing the revisions!
