Contest ENDED: Mini Site Logos Contest - 6 Sites - $40 Each - Guaranteed Winners

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by asabet, Oct 4, 2015.

  1. #1
    October 6, 2015 second update - Contest is now over. Thanks to everyone who participated!

    October 6, 2015 - I have chosen winners for 5 out of the 6 sites. Payment has been sent in each case, and I am no longer taking entries for those 5 sites.

    The one site remaining which needs a logo is TalkEmount.com. This is a site for users of the Sony Alpha E-Mount camera system. You can optionally use an alpha symbol in the logo.

    Please do not use any mountain symbol, camera symbol, lens or aperture symbol, or talk / comment bubble. All entries should be shown as a light colored logo against an 80px wide x 65px high dark background.



    ---------------------------------------
    I have 6 websites and need a 80px wide by 65px high for each of them.

    By the end of the week (Saturday October 10), I will have PayPal'd $240 - $40 for each of 6 winning logos from this thread. I guarantee that I will choose a winner for each of the sites. That could be $40 each to 6 different designers (1 site logo each) or $240 to one designer if they make my favorite logo for all 6 sites.

    If I really love a particular logo for one of the sites, I'll announce that one as a winner without waiting until the end of the week and send payment right away.

    Here are the 6 sites so you can see their current 80x65px logos that I want to replace:
    https://www.mu-43.com/
    https://www.photographerslounge.org/
    https://www.talkemount.com/
    https://www.fujixspot.com/
    https://www.leicaplace.com/
    https://www.foreverfilm.org/

    The chosen winner(s) will need to email me a 24-bit PNG with transparency (see the current logos attached below) in order to receive payment.

    mu43logo4.png photoloungelogo5.png talkemountlogo5.png fujixspotlogo2.png leicaplacelogo2.png

    For the purposes of this thread, post the logos against a dark background so they show.

    What I want (again, see the current logos as examples):

    -80px wide by 65px high files

    -There should be at least 5-10px margins built into the logo, meaning that the actual text should occupy no more than the central 70px wide by 55px high area.

    -Light colored logo - should show well against the current site dark header backgrounds

    -Make it distinctive but simple and classy. The designs don't have to be all text - they just happen to be that way because I made them quickly by myself.

    -Avoid cliches - these are photography sites, but I don't want any camera, lens, or aperture drawings

    Another thing - they don't have to have the whole thing spelled out (TalkEmount, Mu-43, FujiXspot, Leica Place, Photo Lounge, Forever Film). These are small logos - you can just use initials, or parts of words, etc. As long as they look good :).

    Also: Please post any submissions here in the thread not via PM.

    Thanks for contributing a logo. This one is too generic looking.

    Also, please post submissions at the specified 80px wide by 65px high size (light logo against dark background).

    Interesting one, @filologo

    I like the creativity

    I don't like having the URL spelled out or any other tiny text in the logo. Also, not necessary to post the big version. I only plan to use the logo at 80px x 65px, so it should look good at that size without regard to how it would look bigger.

    Thanks for these. The second and third contain elements I've seen in too many other logos - lens aperture ring and talk bubble. Please avoid any kind of lens, camera, aperture, viewfinder, or film symbol in the logo.

    I like that one a lot, especially the orange symbol with white text. Size is too big. Please post it at the specified size (80px by 65px). This is currently the frontrunner.

    I like this one a lot visually but want to avoid depictions of film for the same reason I don't want depictions of camera lenses, apertures, focus aids, etc - all a bit overused.

    Thanks for submitting. Text is too small. Also, please post in the requested size and colors: 80 px wide by 65px high, light logo against dark background.

    Thank you for contributing and for posting in the requested format (light logo, dark background, correct size). All of these aside from the Fuji one have small text. Please avoid small text. See the current logos - I made the text as large as possible. Of these, the Fuji one is my favorite but still not exactly what I'm looking for. Please avoid the film sign as well as any other signs of camera or lens parts.

    Thanks for submitting. I like it but:
    -Please avoid use of film symbol, camera parts, lens parts, etc, which have been used in a lot of logos.
    -Please post in the requested size and colors: 80 px wide by 65px high, light logo against dark background.

    All:

    Please post your logo submissions only this way:

    • 80px wide by 65px high total image size with at least 5px negative space margins built in.
    • Light logo (white, light gray, light colors) against a dark background.
    See post #12 above for examples of submissions which follow these parameters.

    It doesn't matter to me how the image look in a larger size, on a shirt, on a coffee mug, or dark against a light background. Only at the specified size against a dark background.

    Thanks!

    @muddy786 - You are the winner for Photo Lounge

    Please email me at with the logo. I specifically need this version as a transparent 24-bit 80px by 65px PNG without the dark blue background:

    PhotoLounge.png


    If you include this and other versions as editable vectors, that would be nice but not required. In the email, let me know your PayPal address for payment.


    All:

    Photo Lounge logo is done. The other 5 sites are still looking for logos. Thanks!
