$70 logo/header design contest - payment via paypal

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by evelester, May 8, 2009.

  1. #1
    I am needing a logo and header for a upcoming blog, called momblogging101.com it is a blog for helping moms blog better, lessons, reviews, etc. I am not 'set' on a tag line so I will just use the one below to get it in there, so please send the file in PNG layered file so I can change it when we come up with a final tagline. (and let me know what fonts you used)

    "helping moms reach their blogging potential" - this will work as a placeholder

    I need a portion of the logo/header to be sized reasonably so I can use par of it in banners/buttons/avatars, etc. Something unique and not plain clip art, would like it to somehow show what the blog is about, i.e. (lessons and advice on being a mom blogger) not a cute cat or random clipart (see the examples of what I like below for more detail on what I am wanting with this.)

    The blog template has not been picked so use whatever colors you would like, I will design the template based on the logo/header, so you have a lot of creative freedom

    I can not wait to see what yall have to offer, this could lead to more button and banner work in the future for this blog and some others. The last few contests I have held have been great so I am really exited about this new one!

    Winner will be picked when I pick one, or in 2 weeks- if I do NOT find one I really love and you are unable to revise it to what I am looking for then I will still pick a winner and you will get $20 paypal for winning. But I am confident that with the talent I see on the contest forum that someone will be able to create what I need.

    What I want:
    This will be used in a header, so the logo should be short and wide, not square or tall please.
    Creative logos, I really want a image with the title, or built into the title that is professional, unique, and relates to the topic of the site.

    What I DONT Want:
    all one font/title and tagline should be different fonts/sizes
    all one color- I would like at least two colors

    Here are some logos I like and why I like them, not posting these for you to copy them, I just like the layout and creativity used, not necessarily the colors or fonts etc.

    [​IMG]
    kind of plain, but I like how you can use the A for a avatar, in buttons, etc.

    [​IMG] Same as above, I like the layout

    And so on, I think you get the idea. Let me knw if you have any questions

    Thanks yall, I really like those!

    hazard: I like it, the cap is a good idea, maybe make the word bubble smaller and the cap moved in some so it all stays in line, I dont know, and maybe some other colors but I like where that is headed

    and star: that is much better, I like the fonts and the little icons make much more sense now!

    I also got one in PM that I am gonna have post here, I like it too!

    Thanks everyone, this is so exiting!

    owain1: I like the colors but something about it just does not work for me, I think it is the fonts, they seem too plain.... I am not sure. Good job though!

    watari - I love that, the colors and the professional yet fun look! I dont have any feedback on it right now, can't think of anything to change at the moment. As of right now you are in first place.

    Keep them coming guys, you are definitely on the right track!

    Thanks,

    Are you keen on the logo at all? or should I try and change direction slightly!
    I'll have another play around now and see what I can come up with font/style wise
    Thanks for the feedback

    owain1: It is good but I just don't like it for 'me' you know what I mean? That is the hardest part of doing contests, I dont want you to think it is bad, it just was not what I was looking for. But the new one you made is great, It needs some sort of logo maybe, I am not sure, I like it htough! Much more on my track LOL

    Star- I am running this for two weeks, and then will pick a winner, at this rate SOMEONE is getting the full $70, there will be one I end up using, I will have to get my team member over here to check out the entries and see what she thinks!

    sayasatria: I really like that, maybe diffrent colors though, but other than the colors it is great, I am not 100% in love with the title font, but something close to that would be perfect, more smooth, you know?

    No worries, I wouldn't be offended anyway - would rather know that you don't like it so I can carry on with something different or change it altogether

    I'm glad the last one is closer to what you're after

    I'll have another go later on and post something up

    Cheers

    wow yall, this is going to be a tough one! I am glad I have a partner to help me decide! I can't wait till she sees them all!

    hazard: I like it better with thos colors, but the font is not what I am looking for, maybe the same size bubble and cap and then the momblogging101 with the tag line underneath, where the top and bottom of the letter line up with the top and bottom of the thought bubble, to make a rectangle, with the title bigger, you know. Let me know if you are getting tired of me! LOL

    sayasatria: much beter font- but the colors are not my favorite, I like the pinks and the blues that others are using

    owain1: thanks so much- that is good to know- and yall are free to use everything you submit in your portfolios, even if I don't pick it- everyone has done great work!

    DrDesigner: I really like that! I like the cohesive look of the others, like if you made the 101 bubble a little bigger and lined up the tagline underneath the title, so that everything fits in one 'rectangle' and the 101 like ties it together, does that make sense? Love the colors though!

    qw3rtty: thanks, that is really pretty but I am looking for a long and short onelike the others, to be used in a blog header

    jokomamamita: that is really cool, I love how it lines up at the top and bottom! The top one is my favorite, but maybe a diffrent silouette, maybe like a lady and laptop or something, thanks!!

    Electric-Shadow: I love the colors, and the use of diffrent fonts- good job!
