Need a logo $20 with $5 kicker!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by o40oe, Apr 13, 2007.

    OK, this is a $20 contest for the best logo. I’m currently building my website InventorsHelpForum.com. I need a nice, professional looking logo. I don’t really have anything specific in mind so I’m just going to go with what catches my eye. I’ll try and keep regular updates for your feedback. Today is April 13th. The contest will be 10 days ending on Monday, April 23rd. I will pay the winner with paypal so please don’t enter if you cannot accept a paypal payment. The concept of the site is pretty obvious with the domain name. It’s a place for inventors to discuss patents, prototypes, marketing, etc. Feel free to come up with a tag line also. If someone comes up with a nice tag line (slogan) I’ll give them $5. Thanks and good luck!!

    Nope, you can be as free and creative as you'd like. My favorite color is blue but it doesn't have to be blue.

    I like it. I like the white letters but they kind of blend in by themselves. What about using a shadow or an outline on that font? Nothing real think, just a little to sort of make it stand out off the background. And try the slogan in solid black. The first one is my favorite. The slogan is okay. I'd like to hear more ideas.

    Wow, I really like both of these. I'm gonna have to have my partner help me decide. Mitcharr: I like your last one the best so far. I like your tag line the best so far. Dusty: You may have a very slight edge in the logo. I just love how those colors look with that black background. Very nice job! I like your slogan but not as much. I'm gonna have my friend that's going to be running the site with me take a look at these. The ultimate decision in mine but I'd like his input.

    Well, the slogan can be changed, so that's no problem. Also, it can be changed to suit different background colour and it's available at full quality A4 resolution at 300dpi. :)

    Edit: What about "Extending a hand to your ideas"
    or "Extending a hand to your creativity"
    I could add either if you would like
    :)

    Here are a few slogan entries as I don't really have any ideas yet for the logo.

    1) Inspiring you to invent your dream
    2) Talk.Share.Invent
    3) Helping you invent your innovation
    4) Inventor: A person who makes it work!

    Using something along #'s 2 & 4 might be a good solution for you.

    mitcharr: I like your design, but it’s not my favorite. You are however my favorite slogan so far.

    DustyDog: I really like your design and colors. You’re my second favorite right now.

    Rezki: Sorry, this just isn’t what I’m looking for. I would like to say I’ve seen a lot of your work on other contests and I like it.

    Wyla: Not what I’m looking for, but thanks.

    Hayes: This looks to cartoonish. I’m looking for more professional.

    AddictedtoFate: This is my favorite so far. I love everything about it! Nice work. Could you add the .com at the end in about half the font size?

    KitschSpirit: Not what I’m looking for.

    MikeS: Thanks for the slogans. I like talk.share.invent the best of your ideas. There’s still a couple ahead of you.

    TalG18: You’re my third place. I really like your design.

    vccseller: I like your mirror image but I don’t like it all one color for the letters. I think I also like the light bulb better too.

    It’s hard for me to really explain what I like better about one vs. two or so on. It just stands out to me. I would like for the .com to be on the logo. Thanks to everyone for their entries! Feel free to keep trying if you’d like. I’ll try to give the best feed back I can. Here are the standings as of now.

    Logo:
    1. AddictedtoFate
    2. DustyDog
    3. TalG18
    Slogan:
    1. mitcharr
    2. DustyDog
    3. MikeS (Talk.Share.Invent)

    Contest Ends April 23rd!!

    Updated with a few changes. I used MikeS's slogan, so if I win, he obviously gets his slogan share. :)
