Hi there, Quite a while back I hosted a contest for a logo for my Anime Underground site, but now I have another domain and it's the same site but different name. You can view the site here: http://www.otakanoi.com Code (markup): The old AU logo I will still use in some media, but I need a new logo to compliment my site. I chose the name Otakanoi because of the creativity someone can have with the "o's" in the name. Have a look at this site and see what they did with their logo: http://otakumag.co.za/ Code (markup): I need something like that... where the text itself is white and a nice black border and then I need the same logo to have the text black and have a white border... or if one good logo can be designed and I will change the colours myself in the psd file. The size needs to be large enough so I can use it in a standard A4 size in adobe photoshop (page). That means the width should be 1600 pixels minimum... since the width of an A4 is 2480 pixels and I need a massive logo so i can scale it down to size. Should have a clear background. I don't need a picture with it, but the word: Otakanoi should be done real creatively. I need someone to look at other anime sites and see what logos they have... there is always some cutesy characters with the logos at times. If the designer does not want to do a full design, but can do a rough sketch... then I will say yes or no to that... or you can do a full design. I am open to suggestions. Price is $15.00 to a real creative logo... I am not going to choose a logo just for the sake of it and rather won't if there is nothing that appeals to me. So submit a rough description to me in PM and a sketch of what you plan if you want to. Thanks, Sarah Harvey p.s. Payment is via paypal and there is a 48 hour limit on this contest. If nothing appeals then I will close the contest.
dlightcreative- It doesn't have to be vector but at this point it is not what I am looking for. Nice try though. Tusha...I sort of like it. When I saw the eye it reminded me of Sasuke's eyes from Naruto... except it doesn't have the design. I will think on that since I am off to work now... but will let you know later if I want you to continue with it. MrPeters... I am definitely surprised. You are the closest to the mark thus far. Let me think this evening on what I will have changed before you do anything. I don't want to waste your time so right now I will have to think. I am off to work though...so in 5 hours time you should have an answer. Mobidik025- so far really good. But it's hard to decide which font at this point. Give me till later this evening so I have had a chance to think. Thanks for the entries this far. Looks promising actually.
Thanks for the try ForgottenMemorie... but at this point I have sort of made up my mind what I want. I did like the japanese characters to the right of your logo though and it sort of fitted nicely. MrPeters... I like yours a lot and it's the closest to what I want. Only problem is I need to know what font it is. So let me know via PM please as I will be using this as part of my site's brand and can't afford to get sued for it as someone pointed out to me. Once I have verified I can use the font then I will let you know what I want. If I won''t be able to use the font then it will have to be changed to something different. I did have a good laugh at the character though...very serious indeed! If anyone else wants to submit their design, feel free. As for the others, I won't be taking it further and don't want to waste your time. Thanks for submitting it though.
Sorry for double posting but there has been no reply from MrPeters. So I assume he is not interested anymore. If there are no replies by later this afternoon then the contest is closed. No point in taking this further. Kind regards, Sarah Harvey
IMPORTANT - Big Version Below - Can't see all in thumbnail above: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/6369/otakanoicontest.png Reverse Colours: (Has a white border as above has black) http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/1236/otakanoireverse.png Font is Harabara and a Japanese character dingbats font.
Hey sorry for not responding but I have been extremely nervous these 2 days because I was getting my exam results, just received them and they were positive ! I can if you still are running this contest and you like my design just give me a pm I've included the font name in the PM I've sent you Kind Regards, Stan Peters
Thanks for replying. I was really sad when I didn't hear from you But the extra time and talking with my husband made me realise that I can easily do any of these myself as he pointed out. I guess I am looking for more creativity and something different than just the font with the colours in the end. Redders... I actually like your design a lot after I saw it, but I will have to end this contest and stick to my guns since it is great but not exactly what I want. Thanks for everyone that tried. I am ending the contest.
