$50 for a Quick Logo - based on another logo!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Herendethelesson, Mar 4, 2007.

    I am looking for a logo for one of our sites www.freeinuk.co.uk

    This site is going to be redesigned (I may decide to let the winner code the template - undecided yet) based on the theme of our other site www.uspree.com. I want the new logo to be similiar, but smaller - without the basket in the uspree logo (Unless you think you can come up with a better one!)

    Basically, what you need to do is, make a freeinuk.co.uk logo with a catch phrase "Home for free stuff & Discount Vouchers" underneath the logo.

    Do not worry about stripping bits from the uspree logo as we own that site.

    Suggestions:

    1. The words "free" "in" "uk" ".co.uk" should be differentiated. (different colours etc)

    2. The .co.uk bit needs to be less conspicous, but visible (smaller, ligher colour etc)

    Contest will run for 7 days, but if I like someones work, it will be ended early.

    If I like the creativity of a designer, there is possibilty of long term design work on many sites.

    Any questions, please post here, I will try and offer feedback to everyone who puts their efforts in.

    hi just an idea, although you said no basket, unless the design feel he/she could improve on it?

    or a simple but effective idea:

    Good try, thanks Tropica.

    Yes, I dont mind you are creative and trying an image, but I think the basket is not the right image for this site. No need of "TM"

    As I said, the .co.uk needs to be smaller/fainter with more emphasis to freeinuk.

    I dont like the fonts you have used.

    Thanks guys.. Let me make it clear that the new logo will NOT go on the existing freeinuk.co.uk site.. The whole site template will be changed to a similiar layout, colour etc to www.uspree.com.

    hs143no - the UK bit is too big and colours dont match.

    prospeareht - very good try. Font sizes fine, but I wonder if it would look better with different colours, it would match better. Your attempt looks quite balanced but wont suit the new colour scheme for the site. I like the .co.uk going vertically.

    Brown_Cow - Good one, wrong colours.

    Mudeth: - Colours fine. Perhaps the "UK" is too big?.

    Maybe someone could come up with the best of the above logos?

    Tomeek, very good one. It can be a bit confusing though..the "in" going on top.Perhaps the "in" can come under "ee"? Also, the "free" colour can be a bit brighter. Youve got a potential winner there with some mods. I like the way you have done the fonts, with a clear edge.

    bizdakol - thanks for that, but it looks too messy for my taste.

    Brown_Cow - Another potential winner with the right colours. The way you have done the "free" is very elegant. Again, with some revisions, a potential winner.

    Mudeth - Thanks for trying again, I like the colours, but the balance of fonts is not quite right. (The "in" bit is fine though)

    Looks like we may have a winner fairly soon and I may not have to run this for a week :)

    BTW guys, we are running a $500 contest for a coded design for another site on sitepoint. Seeing the talent here, I would like to invite you to try creativity in it.
    http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/contest/1097

    I hope I can find a designer I can work with longer term at the end of these contests.
