$75 logo contest - runs until 31 July

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by richwest, Jul 24, 2009.

  1. #1
    I'm looking to get a logo designed for a new site I'll be creating. The URL will be killthecrunch.com. The site will be about ending the credit crunch - as such the logo can have themes related to killing/ending and/or related to money or credit.

    I don't have any specific requirements related to colour scheme, size etc. since I'm starting with a logo and will design the rest of the site around it once I have one I'm happy with. The logo should feature the name of the site somewhere, but you can choose the format e.g. "KillTheCrunch" "Kill The Crunch" or "killthecrunch.com". Feel free to go crazy, I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

    Rules are the following: -
    Entrants must be able to provide the logo in .psd format along with all fonts that are used (the winner will be required to do this)
    Payment will be via Paypal only (no alternatives considered)
    The winner agrees to give me all rights to their logo in return for payment (including distribution, modification etc.)
    As such entrants can only include content they are allowed to give me full rights to in this manner (no proprietary clip art etc. can be used)

    The contest will run for approximately a week and I'll end it some time on 31 July by picking a winner and posting the result in this thread. Sadly I probably won't have time to offer feedback on other ideas, but rest assured I'll be back on this date to pick the winner. There is only one prize, the winner gets all $75.

    Thanks in advance to all entrants,

    Richard West

    Around 4 days left to run, hopefully there'll be some interest.

    Its probably putting people off that you're not going to be able to provide feedback, as its really difficult to get into someones head and get it all right, if we dont know what you think about the designs being put forward. What happens if you return on 31st July to pick a winner, but dont really like any of them? Will you still announce a winner?

    Thanks :)

    In the interest of fairness, a winner will be picked even if I don't like any of the entries. I'm hopeful that one of the talented designers on this forum can come up with something I'd like to use.

    I have several interesting ideas in mind for designing this logo. I will be doing some sketching first and should have some entries to post soon. :)

    The contest will end in 24 hours so please ensure that any work you've done is posted before then. I'll be announcing a winner at that time. I'm very happy with the entries that have been posted here so far and have also received some great ones via PM which I'll also be considering.

    Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to have a go already.

    The contest is now over, the winning entry was by Gfxpr0 (submitted via PM). I also really liked the entires by Suke (posted here) and Sarsh11 (submitted via PM) but sadly I only need one logo and there's just a single prize this time around.

    I'm sending Gfxpr0 a PM to sort out payment details etc.

    Thanks to everyone who entered, there were some great designs submitted and although some weren't quite what I was after for this site, it's clear there are a lot of talented people on this forum.

    Cheers!
