I am looking for a logo for my cake site. It's called cakespace and it's like myspace for cake people (social network). I'm bored with all the cupcake logos that are out there so I'm looking for something bold and unique! I haven't decided whether I'd like a more simple logo (see the Johnny Cupcakes logo) or a more detailed logo. The name doesn't need to be on the picture but if you put it on there and it looks cool, then I might like it. I'd like a logo that somehow emphasizes the social networking aspect but I'm open to ideas. A face on the cupcake could be interesting but it would have to cute (google Tokidoki or kawaii for examples). Don't be afraid to be bold - big polka dots on the frosting or stripes on the cupcake cup could be interesting! It should look good both on the web site and on t-shirts or other items. I just want something that's more "wow" than the other cupcakes I'm seeing out there. My colors on my site are hot pink, white, and black. I'd like the cupcake to have some pink on it but it doesn't have to be hot pink. I'm attaching some samples of stuff I've been playing around with so you can see what I'm thinking about. I'll give feedback to anyone who posts. I'd like to get a vector file and a JPG at the end if possible! Payment will be by Paypal. I reserve the right to not award a prize if I don't like any of them (can you tell I'm not sure what I want!), but I will work with you if you are on the right track because I really need a logo LOL.
Here's my entry, I hope you like them! The Polka dots represent "people from different cultures", it's very brandable and it's 100% Vector, I'll add some photoshop shine effects if you pick this one.
Wow! I love all of them! The first one really combines everything I'm looking for though! What do you think about the polka dots being see-thru? How would that reproduce on a t-shirt? I have to think about that a bit. I'd actually like more colors in the polka dots instead of two yellows and two oranges in the 1st one (keep a yellow and an orange, but make a green or a different color polka dot too). I like the swirl of the cupcake on the other two and I'd like that to be a little more visible in the first one if possible. You are totally on the right track though! That is awesome!
Can you also show me the font with all lower case. Exactly how you have it now but with a lower case c and s like cakespace (instead of CakeSpace). I was leaning towards all lower case but I like how you did it here so I can't decide on that either!
This is a first draft just so I can see AROUND what exactly you are looking for. I am going for more of a kawaii look. Suggestions? The edges are nice & crisp, making this a good design to print on shirts.
Erkk - that is awesome too. Such talented people here! I do like that it is bold and that it's different. It doesn't really look like a cupcake to me though. Perhaps if the bottom part was more slanted like a cupcake. I will keep the contest open at least until tomorrow to give everyone a chance. I like seeing everyone's different ideas so keep em coming!
Would you like if after I made it look more like a cupcake if I made a nice little speech bubble above it with the name in it in cute bubble letters?
Erkk - yours are really cool. I still like Zepia's the best so far though. You should use that design somewhere though - I can totally see that on a shirt! I'm done for the night so I'll check back tomorrow morning everyone!
Ok here are the changes you requested, I think not matter what you have to go full color on t-shirts or I can also include a 2 color version (black and pink?) But to be honest with you I really like the outcome on this logo! This one right here instead of the dot on the .com I used the cupcake, looks really good! On this one I did all the revisions you asked and I added more polka dots in different colors, not transparent And last one is with the "cake" words in hot pink and with the cupcake on top Let me know what you think!
Thanks Davey, I'm very new here so I have to show my skills and it also builds my portfolio Here's another logo on another contest I just finished, we'll see how it goes! http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=9759943&postcount=65
Zepia - I love the one with the cupcake as the dot in .com. That is my all time fave! I really think we have a winner. I have no more changes to suggest - it's pretty darn perfect. I will keep the contest open til tomorrow around 8pm in case anyone is still working on stuff but you'll have to beat Zepia at this point!
