I need a professional looking, original logo for my personal finance website, Personal Finance Insider. Link to my site: http://personalfinanceinsider.com/ Logo will go at top left, above “Home, About, Contact†and next to the banner ad. Dimensions: I think it needs to be about 355 x 90 to fit there. The final will be used both for the logo on the site as well as a Facebook and Twitter profile picture (may need smaller dimensions for that). Logo should be suitable for web and print. I may have additional design work in the future for the winner. I’ll consider anything that looks good, but I would think that the colors black and blue would look good on the logo, since I use them extensively on the site. The blue color I use on the site is: 1D3BB3. I want the full site name “Personal Finance Insider†included in the logo. I’m thinking more bolder, simpler typefaces rather than artsy fonts since I want to convey professionalism. Logo should be created at high resolution so that if I want to resize it, I can just resize the original logo without it getting pixelized. Submissions must be posted for other contestants to see. I must have full rights to the logo. Contest ends 48 hours from thetime of this post, although I reserve the right to end it earlier if I find a logo I love. Designs posted after the deadline will not be considered. However, I reserve the right to extend the duration of the contest or not to choose a winner if there is not a design that I like. Payment will be sent via Paypal as soon as the files are received and uploaded and I am happy with how it looks. After payment is made, ownership and all rights to the logo/design become the sole property of Personal Finance Insider and its owner. The intellectual property of those who do not win a prize will not be used or distributed now or at any time in the future. I look forward to seeing your AMAZING logos!
Some initial feedback: Jesse27: I'd like to see some black in there somewhere. Also, I'd like the logo to include something else besides just "Personal Finance Insider." I look forward to seeing your next attempt! recnelis: There's a lot to like about your logo. I will definitely take it into consideration. Could you also show me what it would look like if you reversed the colors, so that what is currently blue becomes black and what is currently black becomes blue? I just currently have a lot of blue in my header and so would like compare the two. Also, could you show me what it would look like if you put the "PFI" centered and under the rest rather than next to it? The area for my blog is rather small and so I'd like to see which way makes the best use of the space. I look forward to seeing these other options (while keeping your first attempt on the table) as well as any other ideas you have! Thanks.
browanton, It looks like you tried to post some logos but unfortunately I can't seem them. I look forward to seeing them.
Some feedback for everyone: recnelis: I think I like your original design better than the updated one with the big PFI (but not sure whether I like the one with more blue or more black more - I'd probably have to see it on my site before I could choose). I still love the font and shades of black and blue you chose for "Personal Finance Insider." They look very good. If you were to show me one more option, I'd like to see how the original design would look but with the PFI in a more fancy/artsy font/design. Jesse27: Very creative. I was hoping someone would do something like this (use a "mole"), but now that I've seen it, I don't think it will work for my blog. My suggestion would be to do something different with the PFI piece. Gp singh: I mentioned above more simple fonts rather than artsy ones, however, I think your PFI design is pretty cool. I don't like the "Personal Finance Insider" you did in all black. The letters are too thin and I like "Insider" being in a different color. I like the one above with the black and the blue and the thicker letters much more. However, I feel that your shade of blue in your logo might be a little off. Could I also see what it would look like with the "Personal Finance" in black and "Insider" in blue? I'm seeing a lot of good stuff. I think it will be difficult to choose! I look forward to seeing any additional updates as well as any new entries.
Gp singh: Of the 3 new entries, I like the one with the "Personal Finance Insider" stacked on top of each other best and the "PFI" next to it. Could you show me what it would look like with the "Personal Finance Insider" stacked but with the prior "PFI" next to it (the more circular shaped one) rather than the one with the arrow? I'd like to see how it looks. Thanks.
I have chosen a winner. The winner is Gp singh. Congrats Gp singh and a big thanks to everyone else who created logos. You all are very talented and came up with some great logos, which made choosing very difficult. Best of luck to everyone.
