Contest US$210 Design Logo/Banner Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by mcjp6, May 31, 2010.

  1. #1
    We are looking for a new design to "brand" our marina complex.

    We are after a professional design/logo/banner that can be used on our signage, stationery, uniforms etc, so it will need to be scalable.

    We are looking for something modern and reflecting the unique environment, aboriginal heritage and the water based living that makes up Berowra Waters.

    Some keywords, aboriginal, nature, environment, water, modern. Google "Berowra Waters"

    We do not need pictures of boats as the text "Berowra Waters Marina" will need to be on the design. A concept that we like can be seen here http://www.defa.me/u/mars. At the very top left of the page, it takes up around a 1/3 of the page and includes the image(s) and the text.

    We offer US$210 if we get a design that we like or we get to a point where we can work with
    the designer to finalise it. Payment will be by Paypal e-check. If we do not see a design that we can work with we will close the contest. We hope that will not happen.

    Please try to post in the thread as a couple of us need to easily view all entries. obvious copies of other peoples designs will be ignored. Also please do not put any urls relating to the marina in this thread.

    Any questions, please ask.

    as mentioned size needs to be scalable as we want to use the logo on clothing, signs and website, colour is whatever works best, ends when we have a design (or one that we can work on) I would expect 4/5 days. thanks for your interest.

    Hi Frederic, This is NOT the style that we are after, it encapsulates little from our brief. Please re read my original post. If I knew specifically what we were after I would spec it out.

    Frederic I think you need to do some research on what logo design is, what you entered is just an image with text on it.

    Hi. Please find below my entry. I've tried to use the keywords aboriginal and water here, going with a wave style design using traditional aboriginal dot paintings. I've also used a serif font to give the logo a very professional and maritime look.

    I think you are definitely moving in a great direction. The font is great and so is the simplicity, and flow of the design.

    Would you have any further ideas in regards to incorporating some of the other theme’s – in particular the surrounding bush / sandstone? I am interested to see what more you can come up with, however, we will still put this logo forward to our boss as is.

    imdoggz & Xdexter Thank you for your entries but I do not know where BW comes from, please read post #1. Unfortunately both of these entries are off the mark.

    We welcome all entries, but please do not waste your time by not reading or understanding the brief. If you have questions please ask.

    Guys, we are offering $210 for this design. gfxpr0, ideosmil, d-zel, Xdexter, thank you for your time but PLEASE read our brief. If you do not understand it or have questions please ask. Only two people have so far asked anything.

    Please only post if you can also explain your thinking as JRayers did in post #13, if you cannot do that you are not understanding what we are after. To produce a design therefore you will need to understand our keywords.

    I don't mean to sound harsh, I am trying to help as we are looking for a good outcome here and a great design.
