Candied Designs Needs A YUMMY Logo $25 PRIZE!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by cg_inc, Sep 3, 2007.

  1. #1
    Hello everyone, this is my first contest and I am in need of a BEAUTIFUL design for my new website CandiedDesigns.com

    My original idea was very simple and fresh, with a candied apple as the logo. With some spilled candied sauce.

    1st place winner will get a $25 payment to their paypal.

    3 other entries will win between $1-$5 depending on the work showcased and their effort for the contest.

    I will leave this contest to run for 3 days.

    Size of the logo/header can vary. I will post a header template to work off of shortly.

    Hi Ariestoteles,

    This is a great try, however I am not too found of the purple, and I would rather have a real candied apple as the picture and get away from the cartoon feel.
    Here is a picture that I really like.

    I am honored to have you in my contest and hope you will continue trying. I have seen some of your past work and all I can say is your talent is amazing.

    Thanks!

    Here is a header template to work off of. I love the spilled red sauce in the corner, and think it would make a nice addition to the logo/candied apple somehow.

    Here is a link to the full template. I am only considering using this template depending on how well the logo blends.

    Hi Kia Ora!

    The colors are beautiful! I really want the font cleaner, with more of a reflection like web 2.0. I love the concept of the spilled sauce. I do not want the strawberry in the design, only the spilled sauce.
    Also, the apple is good, but I would want more detail in it, if I was to use it.

    Awesome job so far, I look forward to the revised version :)

    Oh and thanks for being apart of my contest :)

    Kia Ora - The cartoony feel again is something I want to stay away from. I would rather have real graphics with a nice fresh feel. I also do not like the bubbly font.

    Ariestoteles - The lady eating the apple is not the direction I want to go in. I really only want a candy apple with a nice clean font. I am also looking for a photoshop effect on the font like the one found here.
    http://instantplrnichesites.com/
    I like the reflection on the font.

    My vision, is a candy apple on its side, like the one found here http://www.dreamstime.com/candy-apple-image691339 with the spilled sauce under it (like the sauce on the original header. Then in a nice clean font that reads, Candied Designs

    Everyone keep up the good work!

    fade - WOW! I really love this one, it is spot on what I want. I can't really think of anything to change. but there is still something lacking from it. I can not put my finger on it, I think it might be the lack of the sauce but I feel it. What would it look like in print?

    Kia Ora - I like the font, however the reflection needs to be closer to the text. I also do not like the apple, maybe try setting it a different way. This apple is alot better than the last one! :)

    oswin_mb - I really love this direction! BUT.. The apple is not candied, and it is more of a cartoon than a real candied apple. I do really like the splurt of sauce in the ,middle, it is fun and unique.

    Ariestoteles - I love how you created an apple between the two words. It is really cute and unique. I am not too keen on the actual apple.

    zmaja - WOW! I love this, my only complaint would be that the apple does not have a stick. I love how the apple hangs off of the text, it is very unique and I really like the colors and text.

    spyraldesigns - The text is beautiful, I really do not like the apple, it is too dull. It needs to be really shiny and DELICIOUS looking ;)


    I am so thrilled to have so many Amazingly talented designers in my contest! I feel honored to get the chance to work with everyone one you.

    I will wait patiently for the next revisions.

    Thanks so much!
    Candace

    Thanks for the feedback. Since you require only 'stick change', updated version is coming soon. :)
