3 Day Logo Design Contest $35- Lobster Girl Comics

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by wes1der, Jul 27, 2007.

  1. #1
    I am doing promotions for a comic book that will be coming out next month. We are having promotional items (t-shirts, banners, stickers etc) created but we are having a problem nailing down the exact logo we want. I have attached a few logos here to show you what we are looking for (created by some of the great designers here) and to motivate you. The comic book is about a stripper with Lobster Claws and the blind albino killer that is looking for her... sound strange? It is!

    There will be a $35 first prize and a $20 second prize to the winners of this competition. I will be announcing a winner by Monday at noon PST. Payment will be made via paypal (if you need it another way let me know and I will see what I can do). Website can be viewed at lobstergirlcomics dot com

    There will be several contests posted throughout the day!

    The logo will be used for T shirts and stickers mostly. I like black and white or darker colors to match the tone of the comic book. It needs to be something that catches peoples attention (like the ones attached). Thank you for the question!

    Dj-Iceman thank you for the entry but not really what I am looking for. I was hoping for a new design. I just posted these logos to show you what I was looking for.

    Spyral thank you but that isn't quite right. The lobster claw looks too much like an aligator head ... while I know it is closer to what is in the comic book it won't translate on a logo. Also I am hoping to keep with the "NBA" type logo look of the first attachment on the orignial post. You are definitely on the right track though.

    Spyral I still don't know if this is right. I think full bodied would be better. I want something that is instantly identifiable just by looking at it. A design that looks good enough that people will buy a tshirt even without reading the comic book.

    I guess I'm not picking up on what you are looking for then. I assumed you didn't want a new logo that looks exactly like the first attachment you included. But in keeping the inverted colors, and going full-bodied, I'm not sure how it could end up much different. What exactly are you looking to change about that first attachment?

    Spyral I don't want it to look like the first attachment but it was to be used as a starting point for what I want. When I initially pictured the logo I thought of the NBA logo (with black and white colors) with the lobster girl in some sort of stylized pose. I would also like to see Lobster Girl Comics or Lobster Girl or LGC along with the logo.

    I would like to see some all new logos. I have seen some of the stuff you have all created before and it has been amazing.

    ariestotles - great design. Is there a way to make her look more shapely in the chest area? Also her arms look a little too thick. Other than that it is perfect.

    Jamess - very nice designs. Could you make the claw more visible in the second logo though?
