$40 Logo Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by huxy, Aug 10, 2010.

    I need a logo for an online store selling art supplies. The web address is www tnartsupply com.

    I have an idea for the graphic representation/logo, but obviously I have no graphic design skills so I can't express it. I want 3D text (doesn't have to be 3D, though), and try to create a scenario where the "N" is "notched" or interlocked with the "T". Have the "Top" of the "top notch" text above the "notch" and have it smaller, so it looks like its above or on top of the "notch" text. I am thinking the "T" and the "N" will be capitalized to the left, and the rest of the text "-op" and "-otch" will be extending from right of the interlocked (or notched) "T" and "N." The "T" and the "N" should, however, be able to stand alone as its own logo, so we can use it for smaller logos of the store. Whoever can capture my instructions in the most creative and appealing manner will get the prize. Likewise, if you can come up with something I like even better, you will be rewarded.

    Contest is 3-days

    Some stuff:

    - Winner must agree to transfer full copyright to me, for unrestricted future use, royalty free.
    - Please do not incorporate any graphic elements for which you do not hold the copyright.
    - Please, no stolen or purchased designs. Original work desired by skilled artists.

    Thanks!!!

    I can't really visualize what you're saying. Can you draw a sketch or something please?

    I have an idea but didn't get the whole explanation.
    Can you make a rough sketch (drawing with paint) about ~ how it should looks like.
    This will help a lot of people ;)

    hey all,

    I want the logo to say Top Notch Art Supply

    Here is a VERY rough sketch, I hope it helps. Feel free to be creative with the alignment of the letters. And try to add an art supply theme to the logo. Please ask any more questions if you have them.

    I really like it! It is very clean and crisp. Can you make it more landscape oriented? It will be used as a banner for the top of an ecommerce website. Also, can you change the stars and rain drops behind the "t" and the "n" to something more related to art supplies? I love the concept though!

    can change the font for 'T' if it doesn't appeal to you. Let me know what you think. :)

    j0opre: Good job. Although, it looks a bit corporate. This is for an art supply store marketing mainly towards art students. Maybe you can add some more art theme to the logo. Thanks!

    Sparkle92: Looks good. Could you try to play with the T and the N to make more of a icon that we could use in other areas of the site as well as on the front page with the full text? Thanks!
