Contest 160 USD graphic logo contest, looking for the best designer to finalise concept

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Sapphiro, Apr 5, 2016.

  1. #1
    ==================================
    This is a contest remade/repost with now 160 USD as the prize instead of 75 USD.
    This contest is now looking for the closest design concept that can portray my brand/ to find the best designer from DP, after choosing the winner, I'll work with the best chosen designer to further do a few concepts and finalise one from there
    ===================================
    4 parts to this post, please read all first.
    ===================================

    1. The company names and the font that I like is "Century Gothic Bold"

    [​IMG]


    2. Positioning should be like this:
    [​IMG]
    (The graphic logo and color scheme here is sample)


    3. Color scheme I like these:
    [​IMG]

    Snowcap mountains (top) / ice blue glaciers (bottom part)


    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Siberian Ice glaciers.

    Snowcap/snowblue white, and icy turqoise.


    For my logo concept I want to portray not only "Sapphire"/gem, but also an ice-cold feeling.
    The logo should not be too cartoony, the shape should not be too complicated (so it can be memorable)

    4. Shape of logo

    Can take some inspiration from here:

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    I like these reuleaux shapes. But remember I also want an icy blue/icy turqoise/snowcap feeling more than a jewel feeling. But most importantly your overall concept should be able to portray a strong multi-use brand. (Can be used for luxury brand, internet tech company etc etc). P/S. Even I like the bottom last/right shape, the one that I also used for the sample logo in my first post.

    [​IMG]

    Can also consider "fire shapes". But again I want the whole concept to be icy green/icy blue/snowcap/cold feeling. If using fire shape, keep the shape simpler, not so complicated.

    5. Good entries from previous contest (still good for now)

    [​IMG]
    I like this one above, but for my graphical logo I don't want any alphabet (the "s"), need to portray icy cold/snowcap feeling. Looks great, but I don't know why looks like bejeweled. Slightly cartoony. Shape can look slightly wilder.

    [​IMG]
    This one is good, but not better than the first. Shape this time is too complicated for people to remember the shape easily. Good attempt at playing with the fire shape, but can be a uniform fire. (First one is too uniform, 2nd one is too not uniform/complicated)

    2 above from @Mylene Delis

    [​IMG]
    Not really what I want, but still good. From @Dreamer05

    [​IMG]

    From @DenisaSilver. (I like the first one with diamond shape, but can be more elaborated to portray a strong brand. I don't like the thin Sapphir font. (Also my logo should not be just "Sapphiro" but always Sapphiro with something else, e.g. Sapphiro Internet, Sapphiro Domains, Sapphiro Luxury.



    Raised the price to 160 USD. I'm looking for the best designer to collaborate closely for the finalised concept. (I won't be choosing the final-finalised concept from this contest, but something very very close enough so I know who will be able to do the job well). All the best to all good designers. Non-chosen good designers, I'll still keep in touch with you for future design works from my own customers.

    Mylene is leading the contest for now. I'm looking for the best best designers. Come on out and compete, thanks! :)

    Very nice! For the one on the left, see if you can make the "left" and "right" bar slightly lengthier. :) Maybe also see if you can add a third color (light/snowblue) somewhere for the left logo. I don't know, maybe the 3 cubes can be joined with a curve at the bottom

    For the fire-shape logo on the right, the design is quite good, but the shape itself is not really a very nice fire shape. Looks too calm like a water droplet, would prefer a more "fiery" fire, like the other one used by the minion designer. But at the same time you're doing a great job with the icy/glossy feeling

    Bottom one is not a bad attempt, but the font same thing, "Sapphiro" and go with my guideline. Logo is not bad, but not enough to win, not portaying the icy gloss/snowcap feeling here

    Nice concept with the polygon stuff, but the shape is not very appealing. (too sharp, too few edges. But you can consider making it a "rock/meteorite" shape with many edges)

    Color of choice can also be better

    Looks good but looks too "safe" on the logo shape. The font can be better somehow

    Nice try on the gem concept, but looks complicated, still can improve on the shape and the overall feel
