$50 for blog logo design

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by davidcubed, Jan 21, 2009.

    My blog is currently located at http://www.icedteapowered.com/. I'm obviously using a free WP template, but I'm looking to re-design the site as a portfolio with a more custom template and would like to start with a logo design. I will pay $50 via PayPal to the winner.

    So the name is simply Iced Tea Powered. I have no colour preferences at this point in time, though I'm a big fan of blue in general :)

    I will be designing the site around the logo so if you're able to design the rest of the site please note that as well.

    Nothing Web 2.0 glossy or reflective unless it looks good without it as well, please.

    For reference, I like the following:

    http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/28709
    http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/37810

    And don't like the following:

    http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/44634

    Of note is that I want the logo/design to match the color of the text and not look disjointed. It should look good on a white background and be recognizable in black/white and should be scalable so vector images are best.

    Thanks in advance; I look forward to seeing what you guys/gals can do!

    Edit: The contest will close February 2nd, 2009.

    Hi,

    Here is my design. My idea was derived from a glass of iced tea. It probably doesnt need explaining but I have incorporated a slice of lemon as if it were placed on top of a glass of iced tea, also I tried to keep it neat and professional. Hope you like it.

    Obviously colours can be chaged and a slogan added if required. Feedback much appreciated, thanks...

    Thanks for all the submissions! Please find my feedback so far below:

    Pixel T. - I like the basic idea. Re-arrange the logo so the text is to the right of the design and play with the design itself a bit to add some details; I'd like to see what it would look like a little more polished/detailed for web display.

    jeezy17 - Love it actually, and that's saying something because I've never been a fan of the swish :) Maybe try it in a few different colours and let's see what we can come up with.

    Tranzemaniac - Thanks for the submissions. I'm not big on the grundge look; unfortunately it doesn't really match my personal style as I try to be very neat and professional. The work you have done is great though, I look forward to seeing anything else you submit with this new insight :)

    buncoh - As with Pixel T., I like the concept, but I think it needs more detail or fleshing out. Right now it looks a little to clip-arty for my tastes. Try to sex it up a bit.

    hs143no - I actually really like this one. I'd like to see some other fonts/colours and maybe some additional detail like a tea leaf thrown in to bring it all together.

    inzpiration - Looking forward to it :)

    Thanks again for all the submissions. For reference so far, I'm a big fan of jeezy17's design with hs143no in a close second. Two very different looks and styles but highlighting some key things I haven't mentioned so far about myself personally: I'm a relatively neat guy, and try to be very professional. On the flip side of that, I'm a big fan of visual sex appeal in terms of flow in a design and making it all fit together fluidly. So basically make it look clean and have a little fun with it.

    I look forward to seeing your future submissions! Thanks again for the hard work so far.

    Edit: The contest will close February 2nd, 2009.
