Logo contesto! Are you the $45.67 winnero?

Hi folks.

I am looking for a design that is clean and simple--not flashy.

Just create a great logo for this site/domain: link
All 5 letters of the logo should be in lower case.

The logo is for a community forum/gallery site. The site should have a light, warm feeling (not comical, though). Hopefully there will be more friendly and informative posts than negative, bashing posts. So the logo should help promote the 'friends and neighbors' atmosphere.

The slogan: everything local

Be sure that it is evident that the logo is the domain and NOT “everything local”--which is just the slogan.

The winner will deliver:
1) original vector file (.ai and .psd)-- (winner to send original layered files and fonts)
2) web formats: .gif & .jpg
3) Favicon for first letter in logo in both sizes: 32x32 and 16x16.

Contest ends December 23, 2006 at noon CST.

I will pay via paypal.

Thanks.

EDIT: I'm not sure why the link isn't clickable...click to the right side of it.

 

Hi,
here is my work

feedback appriciated...

 

Hello altaf. Thanks for your entry.

I don't feel that it conveys the feeling of the site. Also, to me, the "g" is somewhat hard to discern.

 

My entry



Hope you like it!

 

I think you are closer, than the previous entry, to depicting the 'theme' of the site.

Still, the "g" is not quite right.

Also, I think it is still hard to separate which text is the actual domain name.

 

creative removed.

no problem. will see what else there is....

 

xpressions, thank for entering but that is quite different than what I would like to convey.

 

Here's another attempt - is it better? I made the G a different font and made the "everything local" text smaller so it's easier to discern what the domain name is.

 

My entry.

feedback appreciated thanks

 

Here is my shot at it! Let me know if I can tweak anything for you!

 

Isn't that the same image as you posted earlier?

 

brainstormingin, thanks for taking the time to enter.

Your entries are quite clear.

May I ask, why the pink-purple colored "r"?

 

Hello paige, the callout/balloon is a nice touch.

You may want to try for a less 'flashy' font--but keep this entry around.

 

P.S. I would have replied to these entries earlier but I didn't get notified of the replies--yes I'm subscribed to this thread.

 

It has the same filename so it updated the previous image. The last one had a different "g" and larger "everything local" text.

 

my entry....Feedback please..

 

Just to add a touch of web 2.0 style

Just like http://www.flickr.com/

I can remove it if you dont like.

 

my another try...

 

Argh! I'm still not getting notified!

I apologize for not providing feedback quicker.

 

Don't forget that the 5 letters of the logo should be in lower case.

You might want to try a different font....something a little more inviting/warm/friendly.
