$40 24 hours secret logo design competition

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Astroman, Jan 3, 2009.

  1. #1
    I'd like a logo/header 661px × 252px for a new dating site I'm working on called Secret Singles - I want it to be a regular dating site, but perhaps a bit sneaky, flirty, dark and elegant (nothing too kinky, but not pukey lovey dovey either), so I'm thinking maybe blacks/grays/, golds/dark yellows but you can come up with whatever you think fits.

    The header with replace that yellow bit with the couple on it, but the template can have changes made to match up with your design so it doesn't have to strictly match the colors you see there.

    Please don't send entries by PM, I would like everything out in the open so please post entries in this thread - I will give feeback on every entry so everyone knows the right direction to head in as things progress.

    The deadline is Sunday January 03, 9.30PM GMT.

    The winner will be paid through Paypal and I will need PSD/PNG files and fonts used.

    The blank space is meant for the three line sentences (Get XXX, MEET XXX, SIGN UP XXX) as well as for the SIGN UP button to accommodate.

    Any adjustments or changes tell me.
    here is a draft I've made.
    If you want anything using sillhoutte work like the one by ybbot, tell me.
    That will be done

    I think the position of the text should be a little lower. Il adjust that if the work is selected

    kolgames, I'm not a big fan of the sunray effect, I think it's been done to death with website templates. I think the text looks too spikey and combative. I think I would like some kind of logo too, not just text.

    dseer, that's quite nice - if it's original illustrations I can't think of a way to make it better other than swap out the heart for something else.

    jokomamamita, same as kolgames - I hate the sunray thing. The silhouette idea is a bit of a cliche, but then again it might fit the whole 'secret' idea if there was a silhouette couple meetting? I'm not sure about hearts either, I don't see the users as necessarily looking for love - it's more about discreet meeting initially.

    ybbot, that looks kind of dirty, but not in a good way - like it needs a clean. And same as the others I'm not sure about hearts, especially black ones - it looks kind of evil. :)

    dimitri123, that's pretty cool, I'm not even sure I don't like the love hearts the way you've made them, looking like a jewelry gift. I might be tempted to get rid of, or try something in place of, the curly vines thing as that is seen a lot already - a bit like the sunrays.

    cyberxtremer, that's too simplistic, just a photograph with some text on.

    JacoArmy, I like the first one, maybe because it's a bit darker than the second? Same as earlier though I don't like sunrays that much, though it does look better in yours, and I think the whole thing is a bit too hip hop, skater type thing - too many stock illustrations?

    anidesign, that's nice but I think it's too cute for this.


    The ones I like best so far are:

    1. dimitri123's because of the colors, looks kind of sectretive, tempting and a bit exotic at the same time - the sort of message I'm trying to get across.

    2. dseer's has the right kind of message, suggesting secret liasons or something, but is not as effective as dimitri123's

    3. JacoArmy's looks nice but doesn't quite fit what I'm after for this site, it would definitely make a good banner though.

    JacoArmy, it's not quite what I'm after. I'm not sure why, perhaps it doesn't look classy enough? I think all those poeple look like ghosts too, or like they've been returned like the 4400 or something?

    jokomamamita, that's definitely better than the first one, I don't like the orange color though, and the couple don't like llike they're meeting.

    dimitri123, your is still good, I think I prefer the hearts from the first one though. I'm not sure what that pattern is behind the couple, I don't think it quite fits. It does give me an idea about using a city skyline at night though of about the same proportions, I wonder what that would look like?
