$20 Paypal - FAST CONTEST! Fun Logo. Mens Health Site. Winner THIS Sunday. +Feedback

Hi Everyone

This is for the logo of a men's health site:
menshealthforum.co

I'd like a very masculine looking logo, that advertises the name, but also can stand alone as icon.
The old mademan logo is an example of the style I'd like to see.
But also as masculine and bold as the Men's Health magazine font.

Modern, Innovative, Simple and Strong.

I give GREAT feedback!
Need your entries ASAP!

Thanks
TS

 

Here's some examples as mentioned above:








I like them for pure masculinity and look, but for the logo colours, we should stick to strong and masculine - NOT RED. Any other masculine colour or combination you feel works, but focus on UNITY.

Be INNOVATIVE! And have fun.

Best of luck!

Diferiko - Thanks for entering - I really appreciate your effort. Here is some feedback for you. Like your style especially fir the first one. Your last one of the 4 entered has strong masculine font, but it should not be in Italics - and the fonts should match or be unified. Your first logo that I mentioned I liked, is funky and fresh, but needs more flow, simplicity and unity. Also, try some original colours - and maybe a single cool element that ties it together as a whole, which can also be used as icon for e.g. social media.

Benvozza - Thanks for entering, This is clean and simple. But it also unfortunately does not leave a viewer with a distinct impression, which I would like them to have. It should impress them with brute modern masculine force, but also let them remember the URL or site name. For that reason I believe the icon should also be PART of the logo, not a competing element. But thanks again for the entry.

Logoesdesign - Thanks for entering. The "Mens" part was a strong start, but then the rest was inconsistent and not unified enough - with the blue burst drawing your eye completely. I would like the focus to be on the icon, and the rest more simplistic, modern and memorable. But still, I do appreciate your fresh approah and your effort. Thanks

JmeDrano - Very nice! Can we try this concept but with the MENS and HEALTH being the main words and same colour (Blue or Green) FORUM can stay white. And I'd like the icon to be part of name e.g. MHF, but I like the shapes you used. Would love to see and update of this. With my suggestions in mind, you don't have to follow to T. Thanks again - great stuff.

Rockafello - Love this. Thanks for your entry. Can I see it with a touch more depth and using, blue, black and white - maybe some gradients. Thanks so much and would love to see update. Thanks again.

$Mr.Money$ - Thanks for your entry. But this is hard to see. The icon is a bit too elaborate and uses red, which I specified to avoid. Also, the font is too feminine. Thanks though for your entry.

Thanks again for all the effort. A great start and best of luck as the competition heats up!

my final try

 

Here is one that is revised with Mens & Health being the same size and color. It's a bit more muscular. Icon is moved next to the word men's. This one looks a little bit smother then the first entry.

Now did you need this in blue and green colors with the forum word in white? I can change them to those colors if you want. Also I don't believe in designing logos with letters being icons. It just doesn't look right. An image that portrays the business looks cleaner. But if you need the icons in MHF i can come up with one.

Let me know if I am close.

Thanks

Thanks for the updates everyone. Will be sending feedback shortly.

Can someone please do a LIVESTRONG version of the logo for me - as per example, but using orange or blue instead of the yellow. Same fonts and look please.

Your efforts are much appreciated.
Thanks so much and best of luck!
