Haha! For good measure, here is an example of original artwork done from scratch. Copying my old phone which was sitting on my desk. I did this about 1 and a half years ago, and I'd say it took 5 hours in all. Nowadays, gimme 2! Slowly getting better! I need to do something like this again soon. Been thinking about doing vectors of people, as I'm getting quite good with line art techniques. Damn, it has the date on it! haha. So it was 1 and a half years ago-ish. Nice guess.
Its Rubbish Cos The Logo Is The Wrong Font, Anyone Could Do That Man!!!! Nah, seriously, that's excellent mate (not for a rock band tho lol)
I do have to agree with dustydog. As a graphic designer for around 5 years, (2 or 3 for pay) For a 30 dollar logo, and for a contest on top of that. We can't be expected to go thru the process of drawing, scanning, converting to line art, then filling on the graphic. That takes hours, and no one would do it for a CHANCE to win $30.00. I do really like Dustys logos, they would probably get my vote if I was in this band. Does it so much matter where the pic's came from anyways? As long as the font doesnt have a copy right against it. It doesnt matter. Anyone seeing this logo wont know its from a font anyways. When you go about paying $200.00 for a logo, I would personally be dissapointed if somone presented me with ding bat type images. Just my two cents, Anyways, anywhere close to picking a winner Hecky?

This is what seems to be the average logo now. Made that in 5 minutes. I could add that guitar font in (but it's on my laptop) in seconds.
I would stop submitting logos for this if I was anybody, clearly the guy has the talent himself, so don't bother doing any more
I often have someone else design logos for me. Even if I am completly capible of doing it. This is because Im often too lazy, or I want another opinion or idea. Regards, - Nick
Well, do it. More savings for you. Just, don't host a competition for $30 and feel let down when someone gives you 10-60 minutes work for it. Try cheap labour from Asia or Africa. Oh wait, I'm in China. Damn!
Which is why the web is so fascinating, great, stupid and intelligent all in one HUGE package. People just love people hahahaha! Differences in opinions, morales, standards, representation... endless. I love it and hate it.
Ight, well this thread has turned into more of a debate than a contest. Want to get this back on track guys? Whats the current standings hecky? Anyone close to winning? Regards, - Nick
Hecky, any idea of a winner? One of the many who've contributed time and effort or, ultimately, do you win it yourself?
The original poster is far too picky and anal for $30 bucks. I have never seen such awesome designs in 1 thread!! Y'all did EXCELLENT. There's enough material in her for 15 Rock Bands! Nice job! I like watching these logo contest threads just to see the talent that all of you have. BRAVO!
seeing as he hasant been rude or insulted me, pixel will probably win bear in mind that $30 may be nothing to you but its a months saving for me. I think its a terrible shame my decicion was swayed by a few thoughtless comments at the end.
