$60 logo contest!!!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by emielvenlo, Jun 9, 2008.

    Some time ago someone made a design for me, but because of circumstances the design was not entirely finished.

    I am not entirely satisfied with the logo (icon+url). I really like the icon but the url is kind of wide, has a boring font and is not recognizable.

    This is how it looks like now:
    http://www.jongeren-forum.nl/Screenshot-8.png
    (not jet used on the website)

    These are the source files:
    http://www.brandpreventieforum.nl/BPF2-design.tar.gz
    (PSD and AI, are smartlinked, so only usable with recent adobe creative suites)

    I want to improve the logo and give it its own recognizable face. I like the icon, but don't like the url next to it.

    You can do with it what you want, so you can change the text but if you think you can improve the icon, you can change that to. You can change the positions of the icon vs the text. For the rest i don't want the design changed.

    I will give feedback on a daily basis, so alway's within 12 hours (i also sleep :p)

    Subject of the website is a forum about firesafety, thats why the icon in the logo is half water and half fire.

    Delivery of the design must be in psd+ai sourcefiles and PNG.

    The contest ends Sunday (june 15) 17.00 hour in netherlands:
    http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fullscreen.html?n=16

    If you win the contest you will get $60 paid via paypal.

    (If the designs are not to my satisfaction, and i would decide not to use one of them, i will STILL give the best contender $15 via paypal even though I don't use it!)

    If you have any questions, just ask!

    I wish all the contenders good luck and a sportive contest!

    Nobody interested?
    Is the deadline to far away?
    Or is the job to odd?
    Or is the price to low?

    Edit:

    I have upped the price from $30 to $60 dollar!!!

    Hope more people will be interested now!

    @chlopzmazur,
    First: Looks nice for a start.
    Second: I liked the first better.
    @JoKeRuLLz
    I am looking for something a little more professional, shades look cheap. (nofi)

    General note:
    I know my url is awfully long, so it is very hard to use. But i am really looking for someone that can make the logo look powerfull, sophisticated and shiny.

    @chlopzmazur:
    The sparkles are way to much. The forum has a serious subject and the goal is to attract fire safety consultants, not las vegas public. (nofi)
    @deebong:
    The first one is nice, but not enough, it has to be powerfull!
    I dont think that the metal look of the second one fits the subject.
    @dulcenegosyante:
    Sorry but it has not enough contrast to the background, the icon blends to much, while it should blast out of it. Same goes for the text.
    @cj_ghost:
    Sorry not what i am looking for, this looks more like a games website or something. I am looking for a more prof. look.
    @thetop1:
    I like the white line around the icon, it defines the contrast between the logo and background. Furthermore i like the composition of the last text, brandpreventie bigger than forum.
    You used the pixel based image, in the final version it has to be made based on the sourcefiles!
    @JoKeRuLLz's:
    I like what you did with the icon, it has a nice contrast with the background and a nice glow. But the text is not so prof., although the font is not bad.

    @watari,
    I really like where you are going, nice and refreshing!!
    The only thing i have my doubts about is if this is serious enough for my site, since the audience is business people (consultants).
    And i have my doubts with the b and the p that are bigger.
