Contest $50 Personal Brand Logo Contest for Marketing Consultant

Hey awesome designers!

So my client is a digital marketing consultant and we're creating a personal brand website/blog for him. We need a professional logo done for his personal brand. Instant $50 PayPal-ed to the winner. This content may run up to a week but we prefer to choose a winner within 48 hours.

I'm trying to be as helpful as possible by providing all the relevant information below (feel free to get creative, this is just to help you):

- Client name is: https://pasteboard.co/GFmNWq2.png
- Client initials are: YA
- Main theme/site color is #F16334. Highly preferred for the logo to have this color.
- You can also include any other colors you like, but bear in mind the overall website colors will be very similar to Neil Patel's blog, neilpatel.com. So logo colors should match the overall color scheme.
- The design must be your original work and the rights will be transferred once payment is made.

Some ideas:
- Signature logos like the one below are welcome. In this case, the logo should say "Youssef". Just be careful not to make it look like a female brand/beauty brand.

- Another idea is logos that make some clever use of the initials YA. Just make sure you Google "ya logo" before you do this to make sure you don't use a repeated concept.
- Feel free to use any ideas you feel will be awesome! We're looking for something that is clean, unique and brandable. Bonus points if it's "clever"!

Here are some other logos we like:

Concept: YA initial in shape of abstract arrow bow.



And this one with a tie shape between Y and A

 

@galalogo Love the creativity. Any chance I can see the logo on a normal white background?
@irah- Good attempt but the concepts look a little repetitive. You can find concepts similar to this if you do a google image search for "ya logo".

 

i will submit

 

Hi there,
I will be posting my submission shortly.

 

hope you will like it.

 

@galalogo @tosario @dikoka Love your work. Feel free to submit more ideas if there's any in mind

@Athisa Your work is awesome and got a lot of compliments when I showed it around. However, the concept is a little too formal and feels like a college/university logo/lawyer logo. But the idea is amazing so feel free to submit more ideas if you want!

@CRH5 Appreciate the attempts but the first one is a little too complicated and the second+third one are too simple (just using a handwriting font). If you'll go the signature route, it needs to look like real handwriting (like the example I sent above). I'm not sure whether this is possible since I'm not a designer, so feel free to ditch the signature idea and go for another concept if you want.

@Cristina M. @agenk Good concepts but they look too feminine and the designs give the vibes of a beauty brand. The client is a male.

Keep the submissions coming guys!
