    Logo & Favicon Design Contest for IWantAGreatHomeLoan.com - $50.

    This is a custom logo & Favicon design contest, please read the details below. We will not accept any pm's.
    If your artwork is legitimate, then you have no objections to posting it here publicly.

    Please read all details below before submitting. Thank you!

    LOGO DESIGN DETAILS:
    • The logo/favicon is for the website: http://IWantAGreatHomeLoan.com
    • Tagline: Because You Do!
    • IWantAGreatHomeLoan.com is a mortgage website built for a mortgage loan consultant and his team. It is geared to reach their local area. The site has a twofold purpose, first and foremost, it is a lead generator and secondly, it is an educational resource for those looking to buy or refinance their mortgage.

    CONTEST DETAILS:
    • Duration 8 days, ends Tuesday, Aug 10th, 3pm CST.
    • Logo must be vector with the output file (layered AI)
    • Clean & Simple Logo Design
    • Favicon needs to be tied in with logo and part of the brand of the site.
    • Client is open to different color variations as they are going to redesign their website around the color pallet of the logo they choose.
    • Client would like the logo to be designed so that it can also be used in a two color pattern if need be (example: black on white, white on navy, etc…)
    • Submit design entries for 8 days from the time stamp on this post.
    • To be fair: No entries via PM and no late entries, so please do not post the usual "please wait for my entry", if you do not have the time to enter then please don't, it's only fair to those that have.
    • Every 24hr period, if not sooner, designs will be checked and I'll respond. Responses to your design(s) will be posted here.
    • Winning design must be "FULLY LAYERED ILLUSTRATOR FILE"
    • The winner will be paid after he/she has sent us his/her winning design.
    • Payment is $50.00 via PayPal only.

    RULES:
    • Artwork must be "ORIGINAL". You must create the design yourself.
    • No templates/clip art, copyrighted material & NO photo's from iStock thrown together with a piece of text............. They want originality, show us your talent!
    • When submitting your artwork to this contest please protect your design by all means in a way that does not lose the viewing pleasure of your creation, a simple embossed or watermarked "DRAFT" is fine.
    • If chosen as the "WINNER" you agree to give my client full rights to your design and you agree that you will not use this design for anything else or your portfolio.
    • If your design has not been chosen as the winner, please remove them from this thread after the contest is over to avoid your designs being copied by lurking wannabe designers.
    • The 8 day deadline will be enforced as long as there are at least five entries. One person can submit as many entries as he or she wants.
    • Finally the client reserves the right not to choose an outright winner but is willing to work with the designer he feels comes closest to what he wants via revisions to conclude a successful creation.

    SUGGESTIONS:
    • Colors to be used: My client is open to seeing different colors, but he would like to be able to take the logo design and be able to convert it to a two color design if need be. The colors on the website can be used, but are not a must. He wants to see your creativity and originality.
    • He wants this logo to be professional, simple/clean and contemporary yet modern. Contemporary lines are very appealing. He is trying to brand the website address, so it is very important that the .com is used in the logo. He would like the tagline to be used if it fits nicely with the logo.

    Good luck! We can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

    You might have a problem with this as it is common practice here for the CH to pay prior to the final files being sent. ...just a heads up

    First off, thanks to all that have submitted so far. We appreciate your time and effort. Here is the feedback so far:

    @iamgs - We like the simple clean look of it, but the house isn't working. Also, we feel the I Want A Great Home Loan is a little to broken up. It doesn't seem like it all belongs together. The colors aren't bad. It seems like you are on the right path. Please feel free to give us some other ideas. Thanks!

    @BS_webdeciphers - Thank you for your submission. This is not the look we are after. We prefer something with more contemporary lines. Please feel free to submit other ideas. Thanks!

    @dlightcreative - Thank you for your submission. The look is to much for us. Don't care for the colors. As with the first one, it feels like the I Want A is separate from the Great Home Loan. We feel these need to be tied together better. Prefer to have something with more contemporary lines and not so much the look of clipart. I hope this helps you understand a little better what we are looking for. Please feel free to submit other ideas. Thanks!

    @lilianchen - Thanks for your submission. Not quite what we are looking for. Prefer something with contemporary lines. A little to clipart looking. Would like to see a little more creativity that will make this stand out and be branded. Please feel free to submit other ideas. Thanks!

    @raju143 - Thanks for your submission. The lines aren't bad, but this isn't the look we are going for. Don't care for the colors either. We appreciate you taking a little more creative approach with this. The picture just isn't working for us. Please feel free to submit other ideas. Thanks!

    @twistedpiston - Thank you for your feedback. I didn't realize that it was common practice here to pay prior to receiving final files. It that is the case then I will work with whomever we choose as the winner to make sure we follow common practice. Thanks again!

    Ok, please keep the ideas coming. Hopefully our feedback has helped you see a little better what we are after. As more submissions come in, hopefully we will get this narrowed down more. Again, thank you to all who have submitted thus far.

    I wanted to let everyone know that if you were thinking about submitting a design, but were hesitant because I said the winner of this contest would be paid after we received the final logos, please submit and we will work out the details on that. Being that this is my first logo contest entry, I was not aware of the common practice to pay first before receiving. Thanks to twistedpiston above for pointing that out to me. Whoever wins this contest I will work with to make this a win/win for both parties. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any other questions about the rules and/or details above, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!

    @ZinniDoll - Thank you for your submission. I'm sorry to say that your design is not what we are looking for. We don't care for the colors and things look out of place. The house looks to much like clipart. We are looking for something with contemporary lines. As soon as we see a design come across that captures the feel we are after I will make sure to point that out to everyone. Please feel free to submit any other design concepts you come up with. Thanks!

    @Dante777 - Not bad, but doesn't have that wow factor we are looking for. Your second design is the best of the bunch. Don't care for the colors though. Would like to see more contemporary lines, like they are painted or drawn. I see a lot of logos that look this way and are clean and professional looking. We really want something that is creative and original and something that will brand our name. I hope that helps some. Please feel free to submit any other concepts you come up with. Thanks!
