LOGO contest, winner gets $30

Hello guys,
It's proteindude again. I need a new logo. I am tormented about my logo. I run a contest and got great entries, only to wonder about the direction I was going: I wanted something highly visible and simple.
After the contest was over I started wondering: would I be better off with a different direction? I was thinking about my slogan called world class proteins and that got me thinking: should I incorporate a globe somewhere?
So if anyone is interested here's what I need:

-I need a logo called proteindirect.com.au

-I want the primary colours to be red and white (I would be happy with just one colour - that would be red)

-I want something simple and stylish

-I would like a globe incorporated somewhere instead of the o in protein or somewhere near words proteindirect

-I want it to look professional and to look appealing to the mainstream (preferably not too web 2ish)

-Although not necessary, I would like my slogan to appear together with the logo. The slogan is world class proteins

-The winner gets $30 paid via paypal or moneybookers The winner will have to submit the logo in vector format

any questions just ask

Just wanted to clarify one thing: I was very pleased with the entries I got in my last contest. The only problem, being Mr Twisted, after it was all over and I started thinking of my slogan, I decided on "world class proteins"

This got me thinking, if I want a "world class" thing maybe I should look for something more stylish with a globe in it. I am not running this contest because I wasn't happy with the entries in the previous one, but only because I want to try a different direction to see if this new direction meets my needs better (if I sound twisted that is because I am ) But at least I can put my mind at ease knowing I tried this approach also by trying a different angle.

 

what is vector format ?

Whoops. You can tell I am not a designer. I thought vector format is some term/name for being able to change the size of a picture/text without losing the clarity

If someone can clarify what I mean (what the proper term is) that would be great.

 

Now I look like a real dope. As I pressed send tomeek was one step ahead of me and answered the question. On a second thought, seems like I got it right after all.

 

l m very curiouse about the results

 

yeah vector format is when an image can be adjusted to any size, but i think you need to use illustrator for that. as for the text. i think changing the file to 300dpi would be good enough for high quality large text images.

 

I'm interested in this. I cannot make you a design until later on tonight, though.

 

This is a real cool one Speno. Maybe just a touch too dark, I am not a big fan of the black colour. It looks good and it's heading towards the right direction. I will be running this contest for a few days so don't need to hurry (unless you're going to Spain again).
I would like it a little sharper though, a bit more professional or conservative looking. But it's a really strong one and pleased with it.
Let's see how the others are doing before I ask you to modify it.

 

No problems. I am not in a hurry. Besides, I will be off to bed soon as here down under we seem to be "more advanced" than anyone else when it comes to the time.

 

yeah cool mate, i'm back from spain now, so i should be on here every day, just let me know when you want changes

 

Yeah, I was going to say you look a touch darker after coming back. I will ask you for the changes once I get closer to making up my mind. Otherwise I think it will be unfair to ask you to make changes if I don't think your logo is what I am after. But from what I am seeing it certainly looks good.

 

This is a very nice design. The "problem" is the name of the logo is proteindirect.com.au The .com.au is missing from your submission. The slogan "world class proteins" can be separate. I like the wat you placed the slogan though.

Again it's too early to ask you to do changes if I don't choose your design. But one thing I want to do is I want to give feedback. The concept looks very good. The only downside is I don't like the globe you chose: it looks a little too common even though it is a very stylish one. And the only other thing I don't like about it is that pink around the circle. Other than that it is a very stylish, very good looking logo.

 

This is my entry, I hope I'm not late:

 

I'll give this one more try. Image is in vector format. Created in Corel Draw.

 

very nice examples Kia, Great
