$20-50 logo/header contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by evelester, May 8, 2009.

    I put $20 to 50 because I want to have a winner no matter what, but just in case I dont find what I am looking for I can still pay the 'best' one. Then we can either work on it to get it where I would like to get the whole $50 or I will keep looking elsewhere. Just want to be fair and not 'not' pick anyone just because I am not going to use it?

    I am needing a logo and header for a upcoming blog, called momblogging101.com it is a blog for helping moms blog better, lessons, reviews, etc. etc. I am not 'set' on a tag line so I will just use the one below to get it in there, if you could send the file in PSP format or PNG layers when you win so I can change the tag line if we decide on something else- and let me know the font used.

    "helping moms reach their blogging potential" - hate it but want a design with a tagline so this will work as a placeholder LOL

    the image below is just to show what I am looking for, I need the 'brandable' logo to be sized reasonably so I can use it in banners/buttons/avatars, etc. Something unique and not plain clip art, would like it to somehow show what the blog is about, i.e. not a cute cat or something

    Then spelled out would be the title and tag line, where it looks nice and matches/flows with the logo, it can be integrated with the logo image like the inside gaming one below, but if possible have a seperate file with just the logo (like the circle in the gaming one) and possibly the name of the site small on that for branding, does that make sense? I don't like the style of the gaming one by the way, I just used that for an example

    The blog template has not been picked so use whatever colors you would like, I will design the template based on the logo/header, so you have a lot of creative freedom

    If you have an idea but dont want to take time to really put it together before you see if I like it, feel free to ask me! Ir do a rough sketch or draft before you spend a lot of time on it, then I can give feedback, I hate to see anyone waste time, so I will be open to ideas and everything if you want to ask me anything!

    Have fun, I want the site to be a fun place to learn, so it should be sophisticated, yet cool, I do not like comic sans fonts! :)

    I can not wait to see what yall have to offer, this could lead to more button and banner work in the future for this blog and some others. The last few contests I have held have been great so I am really exited about this new one!

    thanks!

    star designs- not really what I am going for, I would like to keep it short, so it can fit nicely in a header, and wanting more of a logo than an image

    bobzuk- feel free to enter here, sticking with the contest method of looking right now but will email if this does not work out

    I really like some of the entries for this contest- http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1333087 like MantisArt's entry and jnjnnino's, how they are laid out and creative with the logo placement and such

    just playing around, quick concepts, let me know if I'm going on the right tracks -

    Of course, it's not web 2.0 and glossy like 95% of logos produced on this forum, but if that's what you want, I can do that for you.

    Sigh, web 2.0! Ha, I'll be on later and come up with some revisions! They're also in vector, so can be made as small or as big as you like.

    it looks professional, but kind of a strange shape, and the name of the site is momblogging101 not mumblogging101 - would like more of a image for the logo, and web 2.0 is not required, I don't like it tooo glossy anyway, you know

    I like that a lot better star, would like a bit more color and more of a cohesive image for the logo. Great job!

    xdexter, that is cute, but still a little plain, I am looking for something very creative

    star- I meant more variety in color- sorry, and like I said to xdexter, looking for a more creative image to go with it.

    Hey,

    hope you like my design! Used the female symbol merged with a speech bubble - hope you like the idea
    Not sure what your preferences are on colour schemes, but this is a start ( same with fonts )

    Feedback would be great

    thanks for the entries so far I am still looking for something more unique and origional, something that really relates what the site is about, I know there is talent in these boards, and in the people entering so far, so I am upping the winning price to $70 to hopefully get some more creative entries. Not that any of yalls is bad- not at all, I am just wanting something more unique and professional looking. I will go grab some logos I really like for inspiration and add to the origional post in a minute

    scratch that- I cant edit the origional post so i am reposting with the new prize and more details that may help. I will link to the new post as soon as it is up- please put entries there.
