Contest $40 Logo Contest - Life Coaching Business

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Dan Bainbridge, Oct 4, 2012.

  1. #1
    This is a competition for a friend of mine who is setting up a life coaching business and website - she will coach people to improve their confidence, esteem, motivation.. their lives. She has a lot of ideas so I have posted her thoughts in.

    The business / website name is Minding Me
    Website: http://www.mindingme.co.uk

    I (think! I) would like the logo to be a paper cutting, kind of like the first 2 images on the attached document. It is a coaching business which aims to help people fulfil their full potential, so i would like the images in the paper cutting to be made up of things like a key, a bird or butterfly, and maybe some positive words like courage; happiness etc. I really like the colours blue, pink and yellow together so it would be great if they could be incorporated somehow.

    We need the full Photoshop PSD editable file.

    *** Please do take a full look at this specification including more on the colors and some sample images and further thoughts:

    Please post all entries directly to the thread so she see them - this isn't for me.

    Hmm, ok, no entries with 100+ views... maybe the spec is complicated / confusing..

    Basically she wants a logo for her business called "Minding Me"

    the text of the logo should say "Minding Me" and the lettering should be made out of sort of newspaper / card cuttings - similar to how the lettering has been made here - "cuttings style":

    [​IMG]

    Also there are full instructions on the following document of elements she would like - for instance, in the cutting above there are several words, but also cut outs of a lighthouse, a bridge, and a train for example.. she would like cut out images of a butterfly and a key for example incorporated instead for example - please read here for more info:

    I hope this is more clear :)

    Not sure whether she wants every single element present in the document as a logo.

    Would actually make it even more worse by adding a flower with a key, paper cut text/font and the colorful background. -I am referring to the second post-

    Contest is still open yes Oliv3r.

    Not a logo for every single element described in the text - just one logo but using some of those elements.. for instance the "this must be the place" example cutting picture above features one set of text "this must be the place" along with it, also 3 cuttings pictures - a tram, a lighthouse, and a bridge..

    so she would like some thing much smaller / simpler.. a version with just the words "Minding Me" along with it, also a cuttings picture of a key, a butterfly.. or both incorporated somehow...

    I hope this helps..

    Oh now I get this! Looks a bit complicated but might give it a shoot.

    Really hard to make it as a vector.

    Oops! Did I meant it either side? I am thinking you need something like an image you mentioned on the second post. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Hi Ceaser2, Thanks very much; this logo is for my business. I really like the little butterfly/bird figure; however, in relation to the colours, i really like blue, pink and yellow together and would probably like the colours to be stronger . The Minding Me looks a bit too futuristic. Im looking for something a bit softer. Im going to try to post a link of a picture i like. Is there any way you could so something similar, using your butterfly/bird image, the words 'Minding Me Coaching Psychologists' (instead of the heart), and the colours i mentioned?

    Hi Monkz, yes i was wanting an image something like the one in Dans second post. I realise now that its maybe a bit complicated so i would be interested in seeing any ideas you have. I would like the logo to be colourful, using the colours blue, pink and yellow. I would like it to say MindingMe or MindingMe Coaching Psychologists. Thanks very much.

    Hi Monkz, thanks for this, it is nice however I was hoping for something with a bit more detail. Also, it would need to say either MindingMe or MindingMe Coaching Psychologists. Thanks, Sarah

    How about this? I will explain a bit about the logo.

    The concept of this logo in general, is a 'ball' that represents one's spirit and the body that 'unfurl' after being taken care through mediation. As a result, the sign of this logo represents the corporeal and spiritual 'upheave'

    Hi MantisArt, this is great! This is just what I was looking for! Can I just ask for a few minor changes please? If you have done this on the computer would it be possible to make the MindingMe text a bit thicker so that it stands out more? Also, can you make it Coaching Psychologists rather than Coaching Psychologist? Finally, is it possible to make the background colourful, rather than the wood, and for the text and design to be dominant, rather than the background? I am going to attach a picture of the colours I like and would really appreciate if you could play around with any/all of the colours for the background. Thanks very much MantisArt, this is really good!
