Thanks for the feedback. Here it is with a different layout. It changes the height to width, so I hope that isn't a problem.
jackieh1791 - thank you for the revision. My problem is still with the circle and image inside it. Again, not bad, just not jumping out at me. I have a question for you since I like your style. what do you think about a logo for my concept that is similar in style to the Keeblo and Good Emails ones you have done. Obviously not exactly like those, but I like the letters having some shape and integration of the image. What are your thoughts on that.
Oo sorry about that didnt see the feedback on those-back to the drawing board (those were 2 suns, but i guess they did look like stars...)
Joidiamonds - I received your Private Message. I love your creativity but what I am looking for needs to have both originality, shape, and a professional look. I also like the idea of incorporating an appropriate image into the words if possible. like http://www.showtimeevents.net/images/ind_logo.gif or http://www.mrbeergoggles.com/logo.gif I hope this is helpful.
Thanks for the feedback again. I tried to make the text more like the designs you mentioned. I know you are trying to stay away from starts/world, but I'm really at a loss for what to use as an icon. I thought the top hat was pretty clever. lol Anyway, I found this custom shape in my Photoshop collection and thought it fit. But if you hate it, you won't hurt my feelings any.
jackieh1791 - thanks again. 1) can you take your most recent design, remove the circle with the stars and then incorporate back in the circle with the top hat somehow. I am not exactly sure on placement of that element. What are your thoughts on this? 2) Also, I LOVE the lettering in your most recent design, but am a little concerned that it looks a little to much (almost exactly) like the Showtime Events logo I posted as an example. Showtime Events is a company that will definetely be involved in my site. Do you have any other fonts that are slightly different while along the same lines.
neonic - as I posted a few times in this thread, my concern again is the star. SO many companies in the special events industry have a star in their logo. for that reason alone I need something different. OK - I am going to UP this contest to $30 for the winner. I can not change the title of the thread so just know I will give $30 to the winning logo. So far I like some elements of each but nothing has been a clear winner. I would like the letters to be bold and have some shape if possible, but the logo can not look exactly like the samples I posted from other companies. I know the title has "world" in it, but we do not want to globe or stars if possible. Contest prize upped to $30.
Jackieh1791 - thanks for the revision. in your design opinion do you think the hat will look good if it appears to be on the upper curve of the S. What I liked about your Keeblo logo is that the arrow seems to be part of the logo, not just next to it. Same with the envelope in your "Good Emails" one. The images are part of the logo. I am just brainstorming now. Yours in the one I like best so far but also looking forward to seeing what everyone else who was not online this weekend comes up with!
