    Thanks for the submission. An interesting idea with the computer and the doctor. Not keen on the WP logo used as part of the text though, it's fine on just the character. Don't really like the font choice, and I'd prefer Wordpress to be a single colour...

    Hello

    Due to a massive mistake on my part, I've learned that I cannot use Wordpress within the logo (either the Wordpress logo, or using the text Wordpress). This is due to copyright reasons.

    Therefore I need to stop this contest immediately. I do ask that you all delete/remove the images that you've created online in respect of this contest. I am so sorry for the inconvenience, as so many of you have put so much effort into your designs.

    Rest assured, I will be running a new logo contest once I've decided how to move forward with this problem! I'll be leaving positive rep for all of you who've entered.
    Thank you all!

    Dan

    Hello sir! We accept your reason about this copyright issue from Wordpress Logo! But i think it is still a bad idea to just canceled or abandoned this contest. And i think it is too late to informed us because it really had a 5 days contest and you only conclude it by the last day. WE ARE ALL GIVING ARE EFFORT FOR THIS in order to give a nice and quality logo. Even I'm your favorite entry still the other designer are also doing their best. So sorry if I making some statement here I'm just giving my part as the designer who an make entry in your respectable contest because of your respectable rating. THANKS and wish you understand our feelings!

    Hello

    I really do understand your frustration, and I'm personally gutted that there's a problem with the trademark and copyright. I am talking to the trademark holders for Wordpress to verify what I can do. When I know what is permitted within the trademark rules, I will extend the contest and continue as before. Thus allowing everyone to revise their designs accordingly. Hopefully the revisions will be minor.

    Thanks
    Dan

    Right, this contest is being re-opened. These are the revised requirements to stay within trademark law:


    I'd like a logo designed for my new web agency, called "WP Doctors", which is an agency specializing in Wordpress templates, Wordpress plugins, etc. The prize on offer is $75, because I want a fantastic design!

    Logo Brief
    • Logo must not feature the official Wordpress logo anywhere in the design. Their trademark usage doesn't allow it.
    • The logo must fit the colour scheme of the website: http://www.wpdoctors.co.uk/about/ - so use whatever colours you want, but it must match the site design.
    • The logo needs to be cartoon like, so do use characters that look like doctors or anything that's medical related. The cartoon should be unique.
    • The text to use should be "WP Doctors", no tagline is required.
    • Please post your designs in the thread. I can then provide you with plenty of feedback.
    • Please ask questions if you need to.

    Attention designers who created designs in the earlier version of this contest: please remove the Wordpress logo, and change the 'Wordpress' word to 'WP' in your best designs if you wish to re-submit. Thanks!

    Contest Terms

    • Contest Closes on Thursday 23rd Sept at 8pm BST (British Summer Time)
    • Payment will be award to the best design. If there's no-overall best design, no prize will be awarded. (although this has never happened when I've run a logo contest)
    • Payment will be paid by Paypal.

    This is my favourite of your designs. I think that the colour used to show detail in the face is a little too light, as you can't pick the detail out when the character is smaller. Nice choice of font, and the orange is a good choice of colour to brighten up the logo too.

    Ha, I think the middle character is a little scary! Not too keen on the characters. The last font shows the type of bold text I like, but it looks a little plain. I seem to prefer text with an outline.

    Thanks for the submissions!

    The text definitely looks a little better, but the spacing looks a little odd... perhaps the text needs to be a little larger. Not too keen on the choice of the cartoon, as he seems really confused, which is not the message I want to convey.

    Thanks!

    I think some of you need to be reminded that "The cartoon should be unique", I'm pretty damn sure those cartoons arent unique (especially the one that is on shutterstock).

    Don't like the circle, but the character is fine. It must be "WP Doctors" though, it can't be "Wordpress Doctors".

    Thanks

    The facial features are a little pale, perhaps darken them? The font looks a little too sharp, perhaps something rounder? Otherwise pretty good!
