I'm looking for a logo for my blog and an avatar/icon to go along with it. I will be using the graphics as an online identity / personal brand / small business. General Requirements: * I don't want to limit the creative part too much, you guys know that way better than me. It just should be original and go well with the theme of my site (http://menthix.net/) * 100% vector * Will need the original vector/.psd files from the winner The logo: * The logo should read "Menthix.net" * Colors must fit in with the theme at http://menthix.net/. * Dimensions around 300*60 pixels maximum. * "Menthix" should stand out from ".net". * So I can judge them better, please post a screenshot of your logo inside the header on menthix.net. The avatar: * The avatar should be in the same style as the logo, I'm thinking of a big styled "M", but feel free to explore other ideas. * Must be recognizable in sizes all the way to a favicon, but it will also be used as avatar on blogs and forums. * Square dimension. * A neutral background so it can be used on any site, no transparency. * The contest has a guaranteed winner, which will receive $50 USD. * Only the entries with a logo *and* avatar will be considered for the contest. * Contest will close on Sunday 22nd 11:59PM (midnight) GMT (5PM Pacific / 8PM Eastern). * Winner will be picked within 24 hours after the contest is closed, and paid within 24 hours after providing PayPal address. * Payment through PayPal only. * I will try to provide feedback to all entries during the contest.
Hi Here is my submission, its based on the blog being about your thoughts etc in a color scheme that complements the blogs design Feedback Appreciated
ramoscratos : Less white outline around the font I like how Mx looks, but I don't the background The splats may be a bit too much, not really the message I'm looking for boltanskidesign: .net should be smaller than the rest I like the idea, could you do some different variations to see what works?
MastMnds: The design is too high in proportion to the width I Like the orange and black, but the black wouldn't go well against the almost black background of my header. Try layering is against http://random.menthix.net/mx_screens/site-header.png as a background. jnjnnino: Looks good, except the graphic somewhat looks like a ring, which is not something I can relate to . ramoscratos: Definitely better than before, I like the one with the round background most. nanduupatel: Not liking it too much, sorry. The color green also doesn't come back on the site. stardesigns99: I like the design and the font on the second design. But I don't like he reflection and the colors. Can you try it in colors that better match the site? Try layering is against http://random.menthix.net/mx_screens/site-header.png as a background. BlueCheri: "Menthix" should be seen as a single word, I don't like the random capitalization. A general not to everybody: I'm looking for a header logo for my site *and* an avatar. The winner will be somebody who provides both. ramoscratos, boltanskidesign and stardesigns99 clearly provide both. MastMnds and jnjnnino have something I can work with to create an avatar from. Om nanduupatel's and BlueCheri's works I don't really see something that would work as an avatar.
boltanskidesig: The smallet .net is great like that. Still like the first design the best, the lines at the bottom of the speech bubble in the other two take up a bit too much space. zyndtel: Looks good The e in Menthix looks a bit off though MastMnds: Could you make the orange line stick out a bit less? It shouldn't go through the menu bar. It like the rest, please go ahead with the avatar ramoscratos: Looks good, can you show them without the "splatter" on the background? TightWad: I like that. Can you show that layering it against http://random.menthix.net/mx_screens/site-header.png as a background.
