$35 logo contest

    I need a logo and it's a little difficult to explain, but here goes.

    The logo looks like a 'S' on top of a 'T' which forms a 'B'. Assuming pictures are worth a 1000 words then somewhat like this but better.

    [​IMG]

    The way I actually sign it looks a little bit more like a Japanese letter symbol (not an actual symbol [I think:confused:] but in that style).

    Here's another attempt

    [​IMG]

    My paint skills are 1337, lol. Actual dimensions are probably shorter and thicker.

    I'm happy for the logo to be pure black but if you think it would benefit from colour Mac Scroll Bar Blue and Glossy Angry Smiley Red are also acceptable colours to use, or whatever, but they're ones I like :D

    I reserve the right not to choose a winner if it doesn't look like how I imagine, but I'll try and maybe draw it later and scan a copy so hoepfully somebody can help me out.

    Competition ends Saturday at 12:01pm BST, although I can choose a winnz0r before then if I'm happy.

    Good luck guys, I'll be giving a lot of feedback since my description's maybe a little hard to follow.

    Hey, they're both pretty good :)

    What I will say is definitely don't make the top of the 'S' touch the 'T' but make it close enough so it implies touching. Boy, I'm awkward.

    Based on Mike's entry I don't think I want the whole thing blue, I'd like a whole martial arts badass type look which can only really be implied by red and black I think.

    @Nebuk: Make it straight up and down, not on a slant and if you can make it so rather than sort of 4 or 5 distinct parts the 'S' is more recognisable as one item. Lose the background red colour so I can judge it better too please.

    @MikeEisME: If you can make the 'S' and the 'T' don't touch and not have the reflection. Can you change it to red as well as per my new thoughts.

    But pretty impressed so far guys, keep up the good work :)

    Great work guys. Sorry I've not been on top of feedback I went to see Stardust and Rattatouie, which were both awesome, especially Starburst.

    @nebuk, first one's best, I like it.
    @flyby, remember the 's' and 't' aren't to touch and it's to be obvious that they are component letters rather than individual lines.
    @coolwanz, really good. I quite like the 2 colours as components, but could I see it all black please?
    @mike, yup that's great.

    Okay, I'm going to bed but will check back in tomorrow.

    I kept wondering why people were putting the space between the S and T at the bottom, but then I realised I was drawing it like that. Whilst it's fine, just make sure that it's obvious they're letters. So coolwanz had the top of the S behind the T and the bottom in front, which is fine, but if you're going to put either on top make sure those are the lines that complete.

    @crow, good very like a japanes letter, but I don't think the 'B' part is obvious.
    @blang, I like that too, just make sure it's apparant that letters make up the symbol, so close off the T or S where they intersect.

    Good work all.

    Top stuff guys.

    Just realised that it's my birthday tomorrow and I'll probably be horrendously drunk/hungover at 12pm on Saturday so I'm bringing the close date forward to Friday at 5pm BST :)

    Cheers.
