Up to $120.00 USD Contest for the best chosen logo design (details enclosed)

hmm some weird thought coming into my mind
no feedback required it is just for fun
please rate the below comedy pic

 

Ariestoteles: now I feel we are really getting somewhere this is ace compared to the other one, what a turnaround! All I can say is another very, very serious contender has just walked in, well done mate, I will wait to see what the others say but personally I like this one A LOT, talk about making this hard to judge, I have not discounted your other one completely, I need the others to see it B4 I do.

Your entry is actually a prime example of why this needs to run for the full 7 days! I was not expecting any contenders at this stage of play, but there you go you have just walked in there mate great stuff.

krates: no problem, there is nothing wrong with thinking out of the box, Quite literally going on “Ariestoteles” entry, you carry on mate this is what I want (imagination).

For all the other judges, some logos and any identification may have been removed so they are judged on the logo itself and not, names, or position or anything else for that matter! All will be destroyed on picking a winner.

 

Thought I'd give it a try. Made some customization to "globel" type and I still believe the power of type and simplicity (although it needs a lot more refinement but just an idea). For software industry, the trend is leaning towards more organic shapes if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I prefer the second one. Any feedback much appreciated!

 

Reminds me of the AT&T logo I think..

 

squarehippies: to be frank, i usually do not follow trends, i really do not care what everyone else is doing I prefer individuality, creativeness and setting trends! Your logo may work, however; the software will be sold by other companies, I will insist that the logo is on the packaging on all products produced packaged by us or not! With some reseller companies the logo will be enough to bear and tolerable, however; having the whole name on the box might (in the early stages) cause problems, for instance; some could say it will confuse the customer, I want “the company” recognized “on first sight” by the logo a bit like “DaveyBoy” has just said with AT&T, a simple logo and “product” or “technology” in small print, I have not discounted your entry though, the other directors may have other idea’s.

At the end of the day when all this is done the logo will be “set in stone” for the next century or so, I never, ever want to do this again, and it has to be right!

DaveyBoy: your not wrong it does look quite diferant though, but to be frank i think better Theirs is a circle with lines through it diagonally! you can always tell when something is swinging in the right direction when someone mentions a major company like AT&T, thank you for your comment!However not too sure about the association Might be a problem in the future we aught to be looking at? However I think they are far enough apart to be individual in their own right!

 

It might not be them i'm thinking about, i just thought it looked quite familiar heh.

You've been frank twice today, what's wrong with being paul?

 

Thanks for the feedback paulgee, you definitely know what you want and I admire that! Not following any trends though, just making a statement.

DaveyBoy is right, it does look like At&T, that's why I much much prefer the second one. Oh well, I guess better luck next time!

 

Hello paulgee.

Just want to confirm that prize for logo in this contest is 30$ and the complete set of above (three) quoted design is mandatory by a single contestant ? or are you accepting separate designs ?

Regards
Raghav

 

squarehippies: no problem tend to think that if we all followed each other we would all end up never getting anywhere, (bit of a rebel on the quite) yeah; you have to stick your neck out sometimes, and sometimes your head get’s chopped off, but when something does work it gives you more satisfaction and at the end of the day it is worth a little risk taking.

raghav: really; I do not want to limit the contest in any way, so if you wanted to create just the logo then that is fine and the prize would be $30.00, however there is likely to be a bonus now because of the professional level of the contestants! I have been impressed by some of the entries so far!

So; yes I am accepting separate designs, if you enter a logo design that win’s you will win $30 USD, if after the fact you cannot provide any of the other items I am sure that someone else on here will be able to do it; But you will need to provide stuff for them to do it! I.e. fonts etc.

So; saying all that I am going to up the prize now (with bonuses) as follows, turn the heat up a little.
1) Logo $40 (was $30)
2) Header $40 (was $30)
3) Banner $40 (was $30)
4) Flash $40 (was $30)

The prize is now set at: $160.00 (if you can do all of them)
You can do as many of these as you like however the logo is a mandatory entry and the most important to be honest (there I did not say frank DaveyBoy !

Another 5 whole days to go yet.

 

my another entry...
I thought you will need " software box" ... so.. here's

 

i post my design soon

 

here i try flash

Flash Design

header -

 

header - static
But can animated as well, gif/swf as you need

 

Revised logos - with depth as Kc8ual requested. (The original sizes are twice as big.)

 

OK so it is time once again for some creative criticism.

Now we have some serious competition on hand.

JamesS: I look at the revamp and I see almost the same exact idea there. Not much was changed from the previous.

SwayMedia: I liked your before, now that the color is more blue and less green, I love it.

Ariestoteles: Very interesting on the original metallic green logo. Although it was green, I personally liked it but though you could have gone for more of a metallic blue, silver or even a gradient from one to the other. But Paul did not like it too much. I like the box concept, but feel it too closely resembles the Nintendo Game Cube logo. I like the "G" design that you put on the box. It is very interesting but I do like it. I like the banner too. No complaints as of yet, but give me a day.

Design Champion: nice comeback, darker blues and rounded, yet smoother edges. It is now a more child friendly logo. I like it. I like that you have now grouped the two together to give it a more refined look. I also like that the banner is now showing a more international theme. Now when you put it together with the ONLY flash banner so far submitted, it looks even better.

Krates: You have to tell me what you are using cause I can use some here. Your art, although off topic, is great, very creative and very out side of the box. I am most certain that I can expect to see more of your work on the internet over the next few years.

SquareHippies: Yes the one is very much like the older AT&T logo from the early 1990's. I do not like the lowercase "G", but the font is great. I still don't know what to think of the crescented rings intertwining together.

Kia Ora: Nice comeback with the beveling. I personally would have utilized a rounded inner bevel, but the flat bevel still does the job. We will see how it all pans out.

Good Luck to all. I see there are a couple more that are working on their designs now. I will look forward to seeing what you guys/girls have to offer.

Regards,

Nick

 

Thanks kc8cual, I've spend quite some time for the customized type and glad you noticed. Good luck you guys on making great business in the future!

 

Ariestoteles: thanks for creating the box or at least making us aware that you do this, yes is something we will need to approach later on! Although I am not sure of the new logo involved?

Nick252: look forward to it.

DesignChampion: great work!

Kia Ora: again thank you for the change.

squarehippies: thanks from me.

Will be posting some changes later today.

I will be issuing some voting and information results from the judges hopefully in the next 3 hours, please bear with me, everything before this point will be judged and a top three will be picked, everything after this mark on the thread will be subject to the next review!

Please remember this is NOT the end of the competition, it still has at least 4 days to run!


Paul

 

After a bit of fierce deliberation the following is the result!

Choice at Number 1: CoolWanz, has been spot on from the beginning, the only thing that has cropped up with this is one of the judges brought up the “O” in Globel is very similar to Target i.e. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Corporation so we will have to come up with something else here, although it is a shame overall this still remains strong and in first place.

Choice at Number 2: DesignChampion, again this one all the judges liked but a change is needed here as there is a change to the specification (see below) a few times you have “and so has others” spelt Globel “Global” this may be further hampered by the association with anything international or “the world”.

Choice at Number 3: retzseo, this one is a surprise to me because personally I think it does look like a publishing company, however; this one comes in at number 3 but would have to implement changes on the international level, the lowercase g would need changing as well.

Other strong contenders:
Ariestoteles: (box version) this was a strong favorite of mine until someone said it resembles the game cube, and AT&T obviously we cannot have anything that resembles something else or could be mistaken for!

Swaymedia: this again I liked but two judges felt it was again was very games looking and if we were a gaming software company this would be on the leader board and more than likely in top position but unfortunately for our application it is not suitible!

Kia Ora: it was finally concluded (even although a great design) that this one would be ideal for a club or disco! We all liked it but again did not like the association once someone mentioned it! So I am very sorry to say that this one is not in the running.

Change to the specification:
When I first started this I excluded the “world” designs, because most of them I had never liked until I saw “DesignChampion’s” version, after deliberating we decided we are going to remove the association to “Global” because even although a global company and international if the logo contains any of this, mistakes will be made in the spelling i.e. search engines etc. a couple of you have already spelt the name wrong a few times, and for these reasons we are removing the international/world or whatever symbols from the design so we actually need something else for the center of “DesignChampion’s” design etc.

Thank you for all your submissions, we are extremely pleased with the results and the quality we certainly did not expect, overall; everyone has approached this in a professional manor, thank you

The competition is not over and has about 4 day’s to run, this is a checkpoint and update on all your great works.

Thanks again
Paul
