Contest $20 Logo Contest. 48 hours. Feedback Given. PayPal Payment. Trusted CH

Hey DP Designers,

I am in need of a logo for my site shrten.me as you can see it just has a basic one up at the moment. Been meaning to get a new logo made for months but have never gotten around to it.

The site is up and running so you can check it out to see what the site looks like and make sure the logo matches it.

Shrten.me is a url shortening site however it is also a service for URL cloaking ( blanking and faking the referrer )

Colour Scheme: Blues and white. Make it fit well on the site.

Text: Shrten Me
Slogan: Professional URL Cloaking Service

Icon / Image: This is up to you as a designer. I want to see the idea of URL shortening and URL cloaking being portrayed in the logo if possible.

Overall Feel: I want the logo to be nice and web 2.0. Clean and simplistic and vibrant.

If you could provide a small preview of what it would look like on the site it would be appreciated.

This contest will last for 48 hours. I will give every single entry feedback. But please to be patient.

Contest prize is $20 via PayPal. I have held many successful contests in the past and hope this is another one.

Edit: forgot to mention, all entries must be posted. NO PM ENTRIES PLEASE.

 

My entry....

 

Thanks for the entry but not what Im looking for. Doesn't look very professional. Didn't ask for animation and doesn't fit the idea I want the logo to portray sorry.

 

Ok....soon I will submit another entry...

 

My second entry.... What do you think about it ??? Thanks



Colors can be changed according to your suggestion or the logo background can be transparent to suit best with your current theme.

 

xCuCu: A bit too simplistic for my liking, its a decent concept. Just not what Im looking for. Would like it too like more bright and vibrant.

s521545: Its better but still lacking that bright and vibrant look. Doesn't look too professional and the hammer doesn't really fit into the idea of the logo.

 

My another revision : Suggestions appreciated..

Feedback for everyone:

s521545: Sorry but still not feeling the professional factor that I would like to see. Would like a more web 2.0 type logo. However I suggest trying a new concept.

aaz48: Not to fond of the ghost image used, I like the idea of a ghost ( maybe one with scissors?? ) but that one doesn't seem to stick out well. Also would like the logo to seem more bright and vibrant.

Zasul: Not to fond of the orangey / red thats used. Don't think it will look to good on the website. Looking for more blue's and whites. Concept is ok though but seems a bit plain.

Denver666: Its a nice concept but not suiting the image that I want it to portray. Would like the idea of shortening or cloaking portrayed. Also would prefer blue and white rather than yellow.

belugafish: Definitely my favourite entry so far, its crisp, clean and vibrant. Has a nice look to it. Great job. Maybe experiment with the gloss effect a bit more and show some other options?

BS_webdeciphers: Thanks for the entry but doesn't seem like much of an improvement on the existing logo. I feel like I could do something like that myself in photoshop. Feel free to submit some other concepts though.



Thanks
Aion

bodil4o: Really like the concepts, but they seem a bit dull. Mind sprucing them up a bit to look a bit more vibrant? 1st one is my favourite.

BS_webdeciphers: A lot better now, Not to fond of the cut through the words though. Just makes it a bit harder to read.
