Contest $50 logo competition

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by continuum, Sep 18, 2011.

    We are after a logo design for a life coaching business. (We would also like business cards/letterhead from the winner as well - but mainly the logo)

    The Business is called "Achieve - life goal attainment"

    The logo:

    A red target with an arrow. The client likes the idea of a "canvas" background. Please submit logos with and without the business name. The head of the arrow can be used as an "A" as in Achieve. Preferred colours are natural (red (main) green yellow, plain canvas etc)
    and not pastel

    Business card: Preferred colour red. Under the name on the card, it should read "life coach". with everything else, use your design discretion. (you can do this later if you like, as we are mainly concentrating on the logo first. The business card/letterhead is included in the competition, but does not have to be done until after the winner is announced )

    Payment by paypal.

    The competition will run until a winner is found, so it may last a day or several days.

    Good luck.

    Technical detail:
    All designs must be original. No Stock photos as most stock photos are not allowed in logos.
    Copyright will transfer to us when payment received.
    300 DPI or higher as it is for print. Don't do it at the default 72 (for those using photoshop) then convert to 300. This makes the edges blurry.
    Layered PSD only. Logo should also be supplied on vectored ai.
    All text must be changeable on a separate layer.

    All our contests have been paid in the past, so you may compete with confidence. Here are some of our other comps:

    The client is not enamoured of any of the current designs. He is after something more pesonal and less corporate.

    Here is what he said about all entries so far:
    The colours need to be softer, and more natural. Please put on a canvas background and try with brush painted looks (if possible) think: Natural, warm, welcoming, inspiring, creative, human / personal (not corporate), direction.

    Hope this helps.

    Spikesolo, the contest is still running. Please submit your designs. Please try to stick with the brief as closely as possible. No corporate looking designs.

    Just to make it a little clearer, I attach a rough image of what my client is after

    They said the following:

    The colours don't have to be exactly those in the file.

    I still want the canvas backing which may not be apparent in the small scan I supplied.

    Perhaps (but not essential) more painted colours rather than just block colours?


    I hope this makes it clearer, as there are no designs at present that fit the client's wishes.

    Thanks
