$25 Logo Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by KMP, Oct 15, 2008.

    I need a logo for a tax business. It needs to work both with the website and on a business card.
    The name of the business is ZapTax and the url is zaptax.biz.
    Not much on the website right now but it will give you an idea of the color scheme.

    I want something with a little more pizazz then you normally see with a tax or accounting website, but not too much. It needs to be classy with just a little edge.

    If that makes any sense to you at all please give it a try! Contest will end when I choose a logo. I will try and wait a week, but I need to get moving on this project. Payment will be by PayPal.

    I will try and leave feedback at least daily.

    Thanks All!

    Great Response Everyone! Thanks! Please keep them coming.
    Feedback:
    Sheehan: It is best if you post your design here in the thread. That way everyone can see and benefit from the feedback. Plus it makes it easy for me to compare designs. You can watermark the design if you prefer.

    Sarsh:: Nice! I like the contrasting colors, however, I don't like yellow and I am not sure the blue will work with the website colors. Could you change the stars to lightning bolts? I also like that the background is opaque? It makes the logo more versatile for me.

    Ybbot: Thanks for the PM. You are on the right track, but the logo doesn't quite look finished to me. If you know what I mean?

    Creative_Matthew_Webber: Sorry, none of those were what I had in mind. Although I do like that you got creative with the Z in one of the logos.

    thelebeau: Almost, I don't care for the font. I like the background color. I know the watermark is not part of the design, ;) but what if it was a lightning bolt? I think that might look cool. I like that you got the tag line in the logo.

    Vivko
    : I like both designs, but I think the first is a little too formal, and the 2nd is a little too casual. Maybe something in between? I also like the green color in the 2nd logo.

    Dariks Another almost. I think the ZapTax colors are a little dark. It needs just a little something more.

    Just an idea I had. (Plus I realized not everyone will be familiar with US tax forms!) I might like to try a graphic with a lightening bolt hitting a US tax form. The tax form could just be a rectangle that says:
    IRS
    1040

    Here is a link to an actual tax form if you are interested.

    Thanks again everyone. I am really pleased with what I am seeing. DP has some talented designers!

    Thelebeau: I am liking that a lot! Definitely in contention.

    Creations4you: Overall I like it but I don't really like the font, and I am not sure about the tagline changing color.

    Anidesing: I like the idea, especially the ZT together, but I don't like those designs, if you know what I mean? :confused: I think it is the font that I don't like, the Z looks a lot like a 2. I have seen some of your other work and I really like it so please try again!

    Dariks: Better, but I think I want something that is a little snazzier.

    Influ, thanks for the pm. I like your logo also, very different from the others. If I was wanting to be very professional that would be very close. But I am being difficult! I want professinal...with an edge!

    Abel1337: It is not free! I will pay the winner $25 for the logo. But this is a nice way to see lots of samples for free. The ones I don't choose belong to the designer.

    shehan, I agree! I am very impressed by the quality of all the designs.
