http://www.crowdspring.com All projects on the crowdSPRING site. en-US Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:55:45 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/electricblue_tv LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We need a logo for our new online magazine website, ELECTRICBLUE.tv Our website content is mainly about guys stuff like cool objects, gadgets, mens fashion, art+design, new music, films, music videos, animations, video games, food & drink. We ARE design focused, indie, modern, quirky, light-hearted. We AREN'T macho or mainstream. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A logo for the website's brand and therefore website header. The logo will sit top-left on the website. The design and color palette of the website will be influenced by the logo you design. The logo may use whatever color background you choose, white & black included. The header will then take on that color. For example white foreground, blue background. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target audience is guys aged 21 to 39 who are into the objects for their beauty as much as their function, the latest music, new trends, cool t-shirts, obsessed with good design and visual arts, love video games for their graphics as much as the gameplay, they love quirky gadgets and cool innovations. They think of ELECTRICBLUE.tv as the leading source for all the things they love, it's the place they can always come to find something cool, have a laugh, find a link they'd pass on to their friends or kill some time watching some videos. We'd like to see something bold that would appeal to other graphic designers as our audience are very creative themselves. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: This isn't a necessity, but logos like this http://www.crowdspring.com/portfolios/slavic/angel_ash that include a complimentary graphic to accompany the words are great. However just text is fine also. Obviously the color blue can feature in the logo, but isn't compulsory. If you do use blue, it can be used in any part, the text, graphic or background. Where it's used is up to you. In addition you can use up to three other colors as well as blue. A lightning bolt or some other symbol for electricity could be incorporated in the logo, but again not a necessity. It could replace a letter like seen here http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_fresh_ideas_inc/gallery/fi_3 or appear between the two words i.e. electric/blue.tv WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: .TV must feature in the logo, i.e. ELECTRICBLUE.tv The following capitalization is okay: electricblue.tv electricblue.TV ELECTRICblue.tv electricBLUE.tv ELECTRICBLUE.tv ELECTRICBLUE.TV This is NOT okay: Electricblue.tv ElectricBlue.tv Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:29:38 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/illustration/iphone_cartoons LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: iNomadics is a software development company that focuses on mobile application development. We are getting ready to start a new project that highlights all things pertaining to the iPhone. For this project we’re looking for artists to create thoughtful and clever cartoons that specifically pertain to the iPhone/iPod Touch. The cartoons can range from high-tech nerd humor to the craziness of consumer culture. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We want you to create 4 cartoons that all pertain to the iPhone. The cartoons will published as part of an app, so please keep size in mind. The iPhone's screen is roughly 320x460. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Obviously our target audience is made up of iPhone/iPod Touch users. Your work will reach people who are very interested in technology, and apps. A good working knowledge of the iTunes app store, popular apps and the various app categories would be very helpful for this project. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:16:53 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/new_drain_company_needs_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: DRAIN RELIEF is a new company based in Toronto, Ontario (Canada). We specialize in local household plumbing drain repairs, installations, camera inspections, unblocking drains, etc. We will be offering 24/7 emergency drain repairs, and are a licensed drain company. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I am looking for a logo that will be catchy and professional. It will be on everything from company uniforms, trucks, business cards etc. DRAIN RELIEF, is the exact spelling of my company name. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target audience is any home owner or business owner within the Toronto area that may have drainage issues. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Here's a few other large companies based in toronto www.drainrescue.ca http://greatertoronto.mrrooter.ca/ WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Well... the only other note is that im going to specialize in drains, so id prefer if the word "plumbing" was NOT included in the logo. Thanks! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:58:53 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/municipal_political_campaign_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: The candidate is running a municipal election campaign with the slogan: "Run with Brent". The candidate is progressive and forward thinking in an area that has gone through a transformative growth process over the last several years. The underlying qualities will be integrity, balance and vision, although they do not need to be specifically referenced on the logo. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: The logo will be featured on a website, as well as signs, brochures, pamphlets, and other election-related material. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The municipality is fairly conservative but has seen a tremendous amount of growth in recent years. The candidate would like a logo that represents a positive (affirmative) forward thinking view. The candidate will run an inclusive campaign, that encourages participation and fosters open discussion. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: The slogan "Run with Brent" must be clearly written in a strong legible font on the logo. We are open to considering most color combinations, although would prefer to stay away from yellows as the prominent color. Font should not be thin or potentially difficult to read at a distance. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The slogan "Run with Brent" must be clearly written on the logo. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:29:22 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/rubberduck_media_lab_logo_project Let me tell you about us... Rubberduck Media Lab delivers an end-to-end solution set that enables our customers to easily and cost-effectively manage, distribute and monetize their live and archived video assets to mobile handsets and devices. We are a leading provider of these services in Europe and are now focusing on expanding into North America. Rubberduck Media Lab wants to create a uniform corporate brand and product identity that ensures that our market-facing presence is consistent with who we are, what we do, our “positioning” in our industry, as well as optimized for who we speak to (both on a company level and a individual level). The resulting corporate, brand and product identity will then be the cornerstone by which all communications are guided. We are beginning by re-defining our logo. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:19:00 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo_and_stationery/comedyzen_or_comedy_zen_or_comedyzen LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a production company that produces multicultural stand up comedy shows. We have a TV show on air for a national cable network and we produce live shows in Los Angeles. Our shows have an Asian focus, but 1/3 of the comedians will not be Asian. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A new logo. We have been using the one attached, but its time to move on. Business card w/ new logo. If you have MULITPLE designs, please do consolidate into 1 entry. Thank you. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: For the show, our target is comedy fans. But we want a professional look to attract sponsors. We want the logo to be serious, mildly bold, but with a dash of comedy essence. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Attached are our past designs. I like the blue and green, but not married. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: In the design. We need the words ComedyZEN or Comedy Zen, or whatever variation of this. And under it we need: "Awaken you laughter from within..." Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:48:09 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/greenup_sparkling_green_tea_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Greenup will be a sparkling green tea beverage made with 100% real fruit juice. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are in need of a logo that will ultimately be used in the design of our bottle. Greenup will be packaged in 12 oz clear long neck bottles (beer bottle). OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Greenup Sparkling Green Tea will tap into the burgeoning environmentally consumer consciousness while targeting local retailers and consumers in the regional markets. The target customer will be mostly young (20-35), healthy (mindful of what they eat), and active (enjoying recreational activities such as running, hiking, and biking). WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: One of our favorite bottle designs comes from Izze, makers of sparkling fruit juice. The minimalism and basic use of colors really helps to make the product stand out on the shelves. Another favorite is the Orange Crush bottle, which is another great use of minimalism and simple colors. We also like the outline of the letters and how the outline runs around the outside of the orange slice. We feel this ties it all together very nicely. (This is also where we believe our attached logo/label design falls short). We plan to incorporate the minimalist approach while also giving Greenup its own unique feel. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: One item we wish to steer clear of is any use of tea leaves, or cherry blossoms, or anything "oriental" in the design of our logo. We have attached an initial concept as well as an image of the orange crush bottle. The concept we have drawn shows the direction we are wishing to go; however, it feels a bit unfinished to us and we'd like to see it move more towards the cleaned up look of the orange crush design. The original flavors will be blackberry, peach, tangerine, and white grape. The colors used in the logo would reflect each flavor on their respected bottle with one being the main logo used as the main brand image (possibly with its own unique colors). Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:19:35 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo_and_stationery/we_know_how_to_bicycle_around_the_world_but_not_how_to_design_logos LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: www.bikerentalsplus.com - We are a bicycle rental and bicycle travel service brand that offers rental bikes, maps, routes, advice and more to people traveling by bicycle in Europe (primarily France and Italy, but also Croatia, Spain, Greece and other countries) and Latin America. We help individuals plan their bicycle vacations and also provide any bicycle-related services to tour operators who want to include cycling in their portfolio of trips or need “hardware” such as bicycles, vans, drivers, guides. We have some package products such as self guided tours and “villa and bike” packages, but our forte is helping individuals and other companies with any bicycle-related travel need. We consider ourselves an a-la-carte type bicycle travel company, but we can customize to any level – either with a full product or just the bicycles. We are not a luxury brand, but cater to the explorer and curious traveler who tends to like comfortable lodging. We have high quality bicycles for rent, we do not rent beach cruisers, but mid line and higher end road bikes, hybrid bikes and tandems. We have a North American sense of customer service and quality work, providing quality bicycles, itineraries and experiences. Read more at www.bikerentalsplus.com. We believe that bicycling is one of the best ways to authentically experience a country as bicycle travel allows people to engage in ways they otherwise wouldn’t. In one form or another we have been providing these sorts of services for over 30 years to the N. American market, originally through our guided tours with www.experienceplus.com, and now to independent travelers. Our base is in Italy, with collaborators in France, Spain, Croatia and Latin America. Our parent company is in the US. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A logo and stationary that we will use on our website www.bikerentalplus.com and in our printed materials (business cards, tour material/itineraries)/contracts etc. Open to changing color schemes on the website to fit with logo. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Generally they are active people/groups who would like to bicycle during their vacation- people who care about what kind of bike they rent. In general they could be described as follows: - Groups of friends, families, who want to stay in one villa in Tuscany and then like the idea of cycling because dad/uncle/mom is a cyclist at home (or just a few of the group may rent bikes) – about 40% of our customers - Tour companies (small or big) who don’t have bikes, vans, enough guides/drivers in Europe and so use us for their bicycling “hardware” needs for classic bicycle tours or for events such as chasing the Tour de France, racing in one-day European races, - about 20% - .Young professionals, traveling for 1 or 2 weeks in Europe who need a good bike – about 15% of our customers - Independent travelers who are putting their own long distance bicycle trip together – about 18% - A few are avid cyclists who rent our bikes to participate in a one-day European race. – about 5% - We do not rent classic European city bikes or what people consider “cruisers”. - Primarily our customers are Anglophone—North American/Australian especially WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Our parent Company’s logo (see attached, is ExperiencePlus! bicycle tours) we like it, but it doesn’t need to be similar, although maybe some similarities would be good. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Clear, simple, doesn’t need it, but a bicycle might be nice… - Our name – bikerentalsplus.com – with the .com - It must be simple, versatile, clear. - Convey trust and quality. - Give a sense of movement, be dynamic we have a 'tagline' that might or might not fit in - we aren't attached to the idea: serving bicycle travelers since 1972 we do NOT want a picture of a cruiser or poor quality bike...

We're here to gradually change the current system and beliefs - with an economic background combined with sustainable interest! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:58:30 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/print_design/test_brochure_cover_management_course We're looking for a brochure cover for our management course – this project is the test cover version (I've already posted another project on Crowdspring that is the Control/Version 1 cover ... this design must be different ... it uses different copy). It's a copy-heavy cover -- so good layout and text management will be essential. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:50:56 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/print_design/management_course_brochure_cover_version_1 We're looking for a brochure cover for our management course. It's a copy-heavy cover -- so good layout and text management will be essential. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:50:11 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/email_template_uncoded/email_advertising_training_seminar_bargaining_with_vendors LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a training company that offers workshops, seminars and conferences across the country.

We rely on email and print marketing to advertise our workshops. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a four + color email for our upcoming Bargaining with Vendors workshop. The email will go out three times to our customer database to increase enrollments in the workshop. The title is most important and should be treated as a graphic piece with easy-to-read fonts. Limited to no reverse type preferred. Email should be 650 pixels and 72 dpi. The tone is clean, professional and contemporary. Graphics in the email are welcome. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Men and women in a roled that works with vendors. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Discount and title must pop. Links must pop. 4 + color Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:17:21 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo_and_stationery/mobile_onsite_hair_salon LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a mobile hair salon in the NYC suburbs. We offer haircuts, blowouts, styles and wedding services in the client's business, home or rehab facility. Our emphasis on on convenience, speed, efficiency, quality. We are looking for a simple logo that conveys the above. Please consider the On Location (as in a movie shooting), but this is not essential. I want you to be creative. The stationary will need to be in InDesign CS3, as I am not a designer, but will need to change the stylists name. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Logo that conveys what we do. Must be able to reproduce in One color. Must be simple, able to be printed in letterpress. Must be simple OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Mostly men, some women, business executives short on time, people confined to home for short period (new moms, people recovering from an accident), home bound seniors, people in retirement and rehab facilities WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Simple, stationary in CS3 format Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:32:20 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/real_estate_investing_company_seeks_hip_yet_professional_logo_are_you_our_dream_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are Star Quality Homes, LLC, a Real Estate Investing and Redevelopment Company in Rochester, NY. We buy, fix, rent, and sell city properties to mostly out of state investors. They are looking for "Turn-Key, Cash Flowing" properties. Our domain name is turnkeycashflow.com. Our current website DOES NOT reflect our business personality, it's just a template.Our nitch is to rehab these houses properly, and nicer than our competition. The interiors usually include new kitchens, updated fixtures, and an actual piant color on the walls... HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo that reflects who we are. STRONG SOLID INTELLIGENT PROFESSIONAL PROBLEM SOLVING CREATIVE FLEXIBLE AGILE LONG LASTING HERE TO STAY OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Mostly out-of-state investors looking for a deal. Some local. Young professional types looking to reinforce their retirement plans who think a little outside the box..But also middleaged, or near retirement people, with disposable incomes to invest. So the logo needs be hip, yet professional. Easy right? WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Simple yet strong fonts, not too stuffy or unaproachable though. Grey with bright green. Or bright blue and brown. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: No play on American theme because of the 'Star' in our name. OK to have some kind of Star in the design but nothing patriotic. No red, white and blue... Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:32:36 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/apptizr_website_and_iphone_app_logo_design LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Apptizr is currently a website that offers personalized iPhone app recommendations to users based on their interests, similar to StumbleUpon or Pandora. We are currently only serving the iPhone platform but we are looking to expand to other platforms over time (Android, BlackBerry, etc). The service is live although it's currently in private alpha. Interested designers should sign up for the service to get a sense of what the service is about. Our tagline is "serving up great apps based on your tastes". You can signup for our invite only service via the link below and this ten letter invite code 'CrowdSprng' (CrowdSpring without the "i" and without quotes) http://apptizr.com/invite/vip HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We would like ideas for a new logo design that can be used both for our website AND an iPhone app icon (100px by 100px). We currently have a text based logo (as seen on our website). We would like the new logo design to include a text based elements (you can use our existing design or recommend new ones) plus a graphical based design that can go on the left of the text for the website logo AND as a stand alone icon for an iPhone app (not yet developed). The graphical element needs to convey what apptizr is about - helping users easily find mobile apps. One idea is around an image of icons of a bunch of mobile apps served on a silver platter (playing on our tagline), but we are definitely open to all ideas. We also like the general color schemes of our current logo/site but are open to change. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target users are heavy mobile application users. Currently our service is limited to the iPhone although we may expand to other mobile platforms over time (Android, BlackBerry, WebOS, etc). We want these mobile app users to think of Apptizr as the easiest and best way to discover high quality and cool apps for their iPhone or mobile device. They should think of Apptizr as cool, high tech, and easy to use. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We like the Open Table logo and iPhone app icon because it has the name, but also the graphical image that depicts tables and is versatile for both their website and the iPhone app. Mint.com's logo and iPhone app icon is also good in this way. We like the 4Square logo and iPhone app icon because it's simple and unique. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: For our website logo the design needs to include the name "apptizr" (again, you can simply use our existing logo or you can create your own), but it also needs a graphical element preferably to the left of the name. The ideal graphic is roughly square in dimension so it can be used for the image to the left of the "apptizr" name but also as a stand alone icon for our iPhone app. The design should look good with our existing color scheme of our website (silver/ grey / orange). Given the fact that the icon needs to work as a iPhone app icon, it needs to look good when it's dimensions are small (say 40px by 4px), so it shouldn't be too complicated. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:28:32 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/women_s_professional_billiard_association LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: If you have ever watched women’s pool on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classics, or on a variety of International Networks, then you are likely to be familiar with the Women’s Professional Billiard Association (WPBA) and its professional players. The WPBA was created in 1976 as the first and only women’s professional billiard tour. It is a not-for-profit, member-owned organization that hosts professional billiard tournaments featuring top-ranked players from all over the globe. The organization has grown from its roots as a playing tour into an international entity involving many facets of billiards. The WPBA is dedicated to the advancement of women players and advocates to increase players’ involvement worldwide. As the premiere women’s professional tour worldwide, the WPBA is home to several universally recognized "stars", such as Allison Fisher, who is already one of the most visible sports personalities on television, particularly ESPN. She is considered by many sports experts and professional players to be one of the most accomplished athletes of all time. We have Jeanette Lee, aka "The Black Widow", who is ubiquitous within the billiards world, with millions of fans around the globe. Her popularity has helped spur growing interest and participation in cue sports. We have Xiaoting Pan, who is a mega-star and has amassed unprecedented recognition in her homeland (China) and was honored with the opportunity to carry the Olympic torch during the opening ceremony at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. We also have the young Austrian, Jasmin Ouschan, who has quickly made her mark on the WPBA tour as a fierce and powerful opponent. She regularly participates in world-class, open events featuring the top male players. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: With stronger, more consistent, and more accessible branding, the WPBA will create opportunities to level the playing field with other professional sports organizations, increase the value of exposure for partners and sponsors, upgrade the fan experience and ensure WPBA members receive the same opportunities and benefits as other professional counterparts around the globe. Our first step to improving the WPBA brand is to develop a new logo. We need a logo that can be used on the website, in print, on merchandise, and on patches and stickers. The logo needs to be the common thread across a wide range of media, so it needs to be versatile and clean. While we think integrating “WPBA” into the logo is important, we are not expecting it to be the centerpiece. In other words, we are open to any design with the WPBA integrated nicely. This logo will appear on a variety of media so it needs to be clearly seen and recognizable at a distance. The logo should be simple and timeless, yet incredibly elegant and sophisticated in its design. Finally, the logo should not be overly masculine or feminine, but rather neutral. Ideally, the logo should be able to work in different colors. When people see the logo, they should see the logo as an extension of the WPBA, which would be clean, strong, timeless, fluid, universal/worldly – It should articulate confidence and grace. If you happen to preview the current website (www.wpba.com) please don't limit your ideas to anything you see here... The intent is for an eventual rebranding of all things, including the website, colors, etc. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: U.S. Total Day ESPN/ESPN2 TV Usage % Viewing % Gender Male 45.2 73.1 Female 54.8 26.9 Age Age 12-17 7.1 3.0 Age 18-24 8.9 10.0 Age 25-34 13.8 9.5 Age 35-54 34.6 27.4 Age 55+ 35.5 50.1 Median Age 44.0 54.0 Men 18-34 10.7 15.3 Men 18-49 22.4 29.1 Men 25-54 22.6 27.5 Adults 18-49 48.1 38.0 WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Nike, Rolex, Lexus, Adidas, Jaguar, Hilton, LPGA…basically anything that gives us a separate icon to be used individually for product use as well as being able to adapt it with our WPBA type in an all inclusive logo. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The icon within the logo should portray a ‘cutting edge’ sports look…clean and strong. We would like it to show energy, elegance and simplicity. We would also consider the use of a beautifully designed ‘W’ to include these same concepts…simplicity is a must. We want to shy away from any kind of ‘stock design’. Example: No ‘cut and paste’ women with cue in silhouette designs… Classic 9-ball, 8-ball, cues, cue stick or rack, over use equipment related graphics. A reference or something symbolic to playing the sport of pool in the logo is not required, though would be considered if you can make it happen tastefully. People have tried to use pool balls in the past unsuccessfully, so we suggest avoiding that route. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:15:13 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/wine_spirit_distribution_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: The company is a fine wine and spirit distribution company. The name is "Custom Wine & Beverage". HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Need a new fresh, simple, yet sophisticated logo that will be used on a new website and some printed materials. We would like the design to work well in a short, wide space. So a horizontal layout would be ideal. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Most of our clients are business to business and are primarily middle aged business professionals. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The logo must include the name of the company "Custom Wine & Beverage" and should related to the wine and spirit industry. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:42:12 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/print_design/double_decker_wrap_skin LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Not satisfied with the current “Taco Truck” serving gourmet food in Los Angeles, we went out and found a British Double Decker Bus, we figured add another level, take things to a new level. WORLD FARE IS COMING! After months of kitchen design and redesign the bus is being built! A full kitchen on the bottom, with rooftop dining open air! Bar Counter height granite tables and granite counters around the railing it will be the place to eat. Lounge music and soft white LED lighting under the tables. The bus is going to be launched in Los Angeles and we want it to be a place to have a great meal with like minded people, the bus is going to bring people together through different flavors, textures of our international dishes. We are taking the best of global dishes and making them available through our Chef's interpretation on these specialties. Great food is a cornerstone of what we are doing and integral to the success and branding of the concept. The bus: timeless, non pretentious, streets of LA. Visit our website at www.worldfare.com to get a sense of the project as a whole. The design of the website does not necessarily represent the design direction we want. Watch building the bus, watch the stop motion for a feel of the bus in its current form http://worldfare.com/about/bus-build . The upstairs deck will have a black floor, white granite counters going around the outside of the bus so people can stand and eat and socialize. There will be 3 umbrellas on the rooftop deck please see images of umbrellas below. The sides of the bus will be lit at night with Halogen lights, we definitely want striking images and bold colors. The Skin wrap of the bus needs to make a statement tell a story at the very least it needs to depict something worldly and something to do with food, it is a double sided billboard that will be the first thing that gets people interested in the bus. It will define the brand story.

Many of the students find us online and want to become fashion designers or just want to learn a new skill and gain a sense of accomplishment by creating something from nothing.

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:32:26 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/we_need_a_web_2_0_styled_logo_for_web_use_and_marketing_our_real_estate_sales_team_in_northern_va_us LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a husband and wife real estate sales team. Our domain is www.BethandDanTeam.com We want to market the Beth and Dan Team as well as our company, Dulles Area Home Sales, LLC with a combined logo. We feel it is important to brand the Beth and Dan Team as well as it is important to start branding Dulles Area Home Sales.

Colors may be based around reds, blues, white, black, but we are open to creative submissions. Bottom line is, we want it to stand out, but it needs to work in all of our platforms. (Web, Print, electronic, Clothing, Promotional,etc.) We are a Long and Foster affiliate, (see www.longandfoster.com) so colors that work well with that logo may be strong candidates, but not this does not mean we are not open to all other considerations. We also are avid boaters, (not sailors). So, a niche market that we hit will be the boating community. Any logos that may reflect this niche or a nautical theme would also be strongly encouraged. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We do not want any cartoony submissions. It must be professional and project a bigger image that what we currently are (We expect to grow) Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:58:09 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/lsi_music LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: LSI Music exists to bring emerging recording artists to market using bleeding edge marketing and promotions strategies. The Music Industry of the Future We believe the digital format will be the primary preference for all market segments to access music in the near future. We will position our company and our artists to be first-movers; taking full advantage of the upcoming trend by learning and incorporating bleeding edge technologies today. We recognize that the path to profit for artists and label will be based on organic growth, and work towards a point of critical mass. We believe that traditional radio and venue channels have entered a period of decline created by their own sheltered incompetence, and will be overtaken by digital channels including direct download and streaming within five years. We will not ignore the radio and club promotion process for emerging artists, but will focus primarily on leaner, more intelligent online channels. We believe that music is a human condition that has existed for millennia without the benefit of record labels or Hollywood, and will continue to evolve and grow despite recent industry setbacks. We will foster and assist in that evolution to the best of our ability rather than work to foil it. We believe that a new – digitally focused – record label model is a natural correction to an imbalanced, monopolized, commoditized, and stagnant marketplace. We realize traditional record labels will continue to exist based on “superstar” revenue; we will focus on otherwise ignored emerging talent to bring more diversity and quality into the content mix. We believe that major record labels will be nonexistent or fundamentally (forcibly) altered within the next five years. We will employ talented marketers and work with emerging artists who accept and agree with this fundamental truth. Artists We believe that artists have been taught the wrong way to market themselves by the ignorance of the major record labels, and as a result do not understand how to survive without the help of these labels. We will empower and educate our artists to succeed while keeping them abreast of adjustments, small and large, in the music industry. We believe that artists’ popularity should grow organically, not through traditional marketing spend. We will not accept media buys and public relations as marketing. We demand excellence through use of social technology as the primary marketing channel. We believe artists should listen and take into account customer desires when creating content. We will not accept ignorance, failure to communicate, or failure to learn about social technologies as excuses for lagging sales. LSI Music: Making A Difference We use bleeding edge marketing tools to locate and reach relevant audience members with respect and credence. We do not push music on people unwilling or uninterested in making a purchase. We believe intelligent primary research leads business decisions. We empower emerging artists to service their customers efficiently and effectively. We share openly with our artists, and expect they share openly with us. We are more than a label and a collection of artists: we are partners, and as a label facilitate the development of digital relationships between customers and artists, and assist in maintaining those relationships with the latest available social technologies and services. We represent the interests of the artist and ourselves fairly and equally. We acknowledge that as a business we must make a profit, but we do so on ethical and fair terms for our emerging artists, who represent our partners and stakeholders in every business engagement. We believe talented emerging artists with a passion for music and a motivation to service their customers deserve a chance to be heard by as many people as possible without a large upfront capital outlay. We evaluate fairly and with open minds all relevant emerging artists, and sign those who have the greatest opportunity for success. We believe quality content generates genuine interest from customers. Though we encourage and empower emerging artists to listen and interact with customers to better understand what content is most popular, we do not make foolish and uneducated guesses about what is or is not considered good content. We believe traditional advertising and branding come after an emerging artist connects with and services customers, not before. We empower and point emerging artists in the correct direction, and then foster their development. We do not accept the traditional record label process of artist development through mindless and expensive push marketing. We believe that an emerging artist and a label can make adequate profits by working together with customers to build a more meaningful music experience. We ensure our partners and stakeholders are profitable, but we do not damage the very markets we cultivate. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A logo that incorporates the ideas of knowledge and stability merged with cutting edge technologies. We would like to see a variety of concepts - don't be afraid to go out on a creative limb - we will give feedback as needed. The company URL is www.lsi-music.com OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: We aren't selling a product directly. The logo is meant to identify the brand without "overselling" the concept of what we do. Recognition is key, but business to consumer sales are not. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The logo must scale very well and work on a variety of mediums including web, print, and video. We would like to see each concept developed in a full and limited color palette. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:11:38 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/sum_met_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Sum-Met Corporation, a federally incorporated Canadian firm, which specializes in Project Management training, consulting, coaching, mentoring and resources. The training is high end and focuses on Masters certificates with PMI recognition too. See the current website (i.e., still under development) at www.sum-met.com HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: One logo for use on the website and for use on PowerPoint presentations for training purposes. The design should be simple, yet professional to symbolize Sum-Met. Sum-Met is different as a corporate name from two points: 1. Sum-Met like a mountain top, something to be achieved, a destination, yet a goal. 2. Sum-Met is also a mathematical term, the sum of all parts - this reflects a team approach too. Project Management is an algorythm, or mathematical process. So, when we bring together all the pieces, then we have the whole. Sum-Met is also environmental aware and people oriented. From a design perspective, there are several options to go. A stylized "SM"; or, "M"; or, mountain, maybe in gold colour. Very simple lines. Yet, I am open to ideas and concepts. I have seen some very good work and examples which I would not have thought of before. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Private and public sector organizations in Canada, with a focus on Ottaawa, Toronto and Vancouver. The audience is bilingual (French and English) and would be at a management level - either aspiring to be or having attained a management position. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: The current one is simple. The approach should be a simple type of design and layout for the website and courseware. Which incorporates corporate colours; or, business to business marketing colours. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:30:25 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_online_journal_site_for_women LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: JournalJane.com will be an online journal writing site for women. On JJ, users will be able to record their thoughts, memories, stories, etc. and choose to keep them private or share with others. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We're looking for a logo that will capture the spirit of JournalJane and help to set the tone for other design work moving forward. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Adult women. We're not sure of the exact demo yet, but hope it's as wide as 25-60, but intend to target women from 30 to 50. We want our customers to think of JournalJane as a safe and welcoming place; a place where they can be themselves and say whatever is on their minds. JournalJane should somehow hint at the promise of spiritual and emotional growth. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: * Really like the orange in the logo on this one coupled with the blue/purple color behind the nav - http://www.yogasutranyc.com/ * Similarly, we really like the combination of the gray and the warm orange color in this logo - http://www.iyiny.org/ * Nice clean logo - http://www.jumpingjackrabbit.com/ * Not so hot on the colors, but we like the clean, light design of this logo - http://www.omyoga.com/ * This is also an appealing color combination - http://www.beaucage.com/ WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: No pink. Nothing too girlie or cutesy. It should feel more like a yoga studio site than a beauty product or women's clothing site. It should feel more meditative than exiting. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:37:55 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/project_for_entertainment_site MazaCenter is a New Entertainment site, our aim is get all ages visitors from all countries.

We specialise in "doing it once, doing it right" dentistry with a huge emphasis on a gentle human touch therefore customer service = ++++. Big on functional aesthetics i.e. it should do its job of chewing etc but also look good while doing it. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: What I need and small annotations after: (1) Logo - that should be synonymous with gentle, quality, fun dentistry; this is obviously what everything revolves around; (2) Letterhead (or on the side or on the bottom) - that is used to send msgs to patients of the practice but also to other dentists & specialists; (3) With compliments slip; (4) Business card - must be catchy and slightly different as this is our form of consistent advertising & branding; Ideally, it should have the name, Strand Dental Centre separate from the logo. Additionally, should be fairly universal so that the logo can be used in other dental-related business ventures whether its another 10 surgeries or whatever. Ultimately, the colours & logo should lend themselves to an interactive website with a blog etc. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: - Adults aged between 35-65 - Women slightly > Men - Families WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Clean, "sexy", soft & if possible (but I understand how difficult it can be to do), intelligent (i.e. gets people thinking) Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:44:05 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_1bestseo_com LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: SEO marketing, or Search Engine Optimization as it is commonly called, is the process of optimizing a website in order to rank higher in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Recently, the demand for SEO services has exploded as business owners realized their websites were of little to no use from a marketing perspective unless they were optimized to be on page 1 of Google results, or in other words where their customers could find them!

Make Logo With White Background, and Transparent Background Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:59:44 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/tortuga_backpacks_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: TORTUGA BACKPACKS is an online retail company that sells a travel backpack called "La Tortuga." La Tortuga is a backpack specifically designed and marketed for young, urban travelers on trips from one week to one year. We are a new startup. The company will maintain a hip, premium brand image. Tortuga means turtle in Spanish, and we will incorporate that imagery into our brand. We chose the name because turtles carry their homes on their back just like traveling backpackers. You can find an image of our backpack attached below. Please use it as your inspiration! HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo. The logo must have two parts that can be used together or independent of each other. The first part is an image that sleekly reflects the Tortuga brand. It should incorporate a turtle motif, but it doesn't need to be too obvious. The second part is the company name, TORTUGA BACKPACKS, written as a unique trademark. The font and style should reflect our company. When used together, the image should rest above the written logo. Our model for a perfect logo is the sleek and attractive Under Armour logo. Here is a link: http://goodnewsfor.us/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/under-armour-logo-registered-trademark_edited.jpg. I've also uploaded it as a file. The logo MUST be delivered in a vector based file so it can be used in a variety of ways, including on software goods, websites, stationary, etc. It should also be delivered in all other standard file formats. Please find an image of our backpack below. The logo must be appropriate for the bag itself! It also must be suitable for our website. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target audience is mid to high-income males and females from age 18-34. More specifically, we're targeting those who travel abroad, especially to Europe, Australia, and the far East recreationally. They should think we're a young, hip, premium company that offers a cutting edge and innovative niche product. In their minds, they should know that no one else is offering what we are. The should feel lucky that they found Tortuga. They should be proud to own our backpack. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: http://goodnewsfor.us/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/under-armour-logo-registered-trademark_edited.jpg http://www.showstudio.com/2008/09/02/nike_logo.jpg http://www.jdayent.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/300px-Jumpman_logo_011.jpg WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We must have an awesome, hip logo delivered to us in a vector based format. The primary color MUST be black. The complimentary color should be the green used in the backpack sketch attached to this posting. Some white or grey might also be acceptable. The font must brand us and set us apart from other companies. The image portion of the logo MUST reflect a turtle theme. Trying to incorporate turtle shell imagery is probably the best route. The logo must NOT look like the Northface logo. We are trying to differentiate ourselves from them! Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:45:16 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_a_healthcare_club_of_the_world_s_no_1_marketing_school_kellogg_school_at_northwestern_univ LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Be a designer of the logo for the most popular student club of the world's No.1 MARKETING school! We are MBA students at Kellogg School of Management, the top business school in the world. Our club, The Health Enterprise Management Club (HEMAC), is seeking a new iconic logo as our club title has been recently changed. We are basically a professional healthcare career club at a business school. Our club delivers diverse opportunities and activities through which Kellogg students can learn and prepare to succeed in the healthcare industry. Our interest lies in pharamceutical/biotech companies, medical device companies, health insurers, providers (hospitals) and healthcare consulting companies. HEMAC is one of the biggest student clubs here at Kellogg. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo for our club "Health Enterprise Management Club". We will use our logo in our website, newsletter, fliers, sponsorship guide and club banner. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target audience is MBA students at Kellogg, both current and perspective. The range of age is 26-33 and about 40% of the students are women. Before entering the business school, they usually had worked in diverse fields for several years since they graduated from undergraduate schools. We want them to associate "healthcare" with our club, obviously. (At Kellogg, we're competiting with High-tech club, Investment management club, Entertainment business club, Retail business club, etc.) Company sponsors also see our logo, but students are the primary audience. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We like simple and clean designs that will be long-lasting. You may think this is a corporate logo project because we are a professional career seeking group. (1) Color The main color of Kellogg School of Management and Northwestern University is purple. So, we would prefer colors that go well with purple. Please visit these two sites. http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu http://www.northwestern.edu Also, we've been usually using cool colors (eg. blue, purple, green, etc.) in the newsletter and fliers. We would avoid warm colors, like red, because they tend to mean an emergency or disaster in the context of healthcare (eg. ambulances and the red cross) We would stay away from a dark (eg. black) background. (2) Shape In terms of shape, the world is your oyster. Please show your creativity. We will later turn the logo into a wide banner, thus it would be a plus if the logo can be flexibly decomposed, but this is not a main consideration for now. (3) Fonts Although we have no preferences for fonts, we would like the one that can be easily recognized. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We must have the "full name" of the club in our logo: Health Enterprise Management Club. This exactly should appear in our logo. (Probably the biggest challenge of this project would be how to put these long words into a logo and arrange them in it.) We're not uploading any files because we don't want to limit your creativity. We will be closely looking at each entry over the next 14 days, and will be more responsive with timely feedbacks than any other buyers in Crowdspring. Good luck and thank you for your hard work in advance! Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:12:04 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_design_iheart_auto_automotive_site_blog_forum_etc LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are starting a new site who's main focus will be on the automotive world. The target audience will be performance car enthusiasts who are interested in performance as well as nice looking cars. The site may start as a blog and will eventually grow into a complete site with a forum, blog as well as other interesting sections. Cars will be the center point but it will also be a lifestyle site where people with similar interests can get together. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A very creative logo, it must be flashy, creative, lively but simple. With very lively (maybe metallic colors) colors. But simple. Preferably a logo, a creative image, not just a fancy font of "iHeart Auto". Colors to use: Red, Yellow or orange, black but not too much, gold/silver as an accent if possible. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Automotive enthusiasts interested in performance as well as styling. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Firefox's logo, MiamiOverdose.com logo, LG's logo. Logo's of that mold. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Must have nice flashy, bright, out going but simple; 3D ish and metallic if possible. Nothing with just a car or font. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:19:05 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/polliwiggle_a_logo_design_for_a_children_s_apparel_website LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: polliwiggle.com is a startup children's apparel website that was founded upon the core values of simplicity, affordability and thoughtfulness. We are NOT a discount children's clothing company; we offer access to great children's brands at great prices. We strive to ensure that all of our business process and operations are as eco- and kid-friendly as possible. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A logo (polliwiggle word with associated icon) for all branding and marketing to be used on our website/business cards/marketing materials/hangtags for clothing. It is of paramount importance that our logo be clean and polished. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Young (25-37), online Moms that want access to great Children's brands and appreciate our core values. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: While we are not set on a specific design, we like the design aesthetic of the following brands: Patagonia, Apple, The North Face, Marmot, and Crate & Barrel. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: - a color scheme that is geared towards both boys and girls, i.e. gender neutral. - a clean and polished look and feel that conveys our core value of simplicity, while at the same time being fun. - we are biased towards icons that can stand alone from the name; however, we are defintitely open to all ideas and appreciate your creative judgement. We would also like the icon to be attractive with or without the "polliwiggle" word logo you create. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:24:53 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/diet_and_fitness_coaching_service_needs_four_web_pages LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: The Health & Fitness Team is a new health and fitness company that plans to launch two coaching services to help people stay on track with their diet and fitness plans. DietMinder and FitnessMinder are aimed at people who want to lose weight or keep fit, but need help staying motivated. Our value proposition is about helping customers to reach their diet and fitness goals more quickly than they could without outside help and supporting their efforts to maintain what they have achieved. The tag line for DietMinder is ‘Keeping you on track for diet success’ and for FitnessMinder it's ‘Keeping you on track for optimum fitness’. We have a broad target audience and the web site therefore needs to have broad appeal whilst reflecting our core values: trusted, innovative, committed, open and dynamic. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a design for four web pages: the home page and three internal pages. In addition to the home page (Home) we need pages that will be used to promote subscriptions for the diet service (DietMinder), to host some of the content promoted in our newsletter (Weight Loss) and to describe the company (About Us). The descriptions in brackets relate to the tabs across the top of the page in the web site structure. To get an overview of how these four pages fit into the overall structure, take a look at the attached blueprint. We will use our web site to communicate our value proposition, generate leads and provide health and fitness information. We will also use the site to sign up visitors to our newsletter. The home page is very important as it will draw people into the site and therefore has to be engaging and dynamic. Above all, it needs to get people to take action, i.e. subscribe to our newsletter or sign up for a trial, the all important sales bit! OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The web site is primarily aimed at affluent 25-55 year old male and female members of private health clubs, who want to lose weight and/or improve their fitness. We are talking about professionals and skilled workers who take pride in their appearance and make an effort to live a healthy lifestyle. Whether motivated by image or health, they need help staying on track to meet their goals. They have either lost their motivation or are not getting the results they want. They don’t necessarily want to spend money on a personal trainer or private nutritionist and like the discrete nature of receiving ongoing telephone-based support combined with convenient, on-demand access to trained instructors when they need it. The secondary audience is made up of business customers that have an interest in the health and fitness of its staff, members or patients. Typical customers include employers, healthcare professionals, and private medical insurers, etc. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Take a look at these web sites to get an idea of the type of layout, use of colour, imagery and use of white space that we like: www.lafitness.co.uk www.vimeo.com www.apple.com www.carsonified.co.uk www.heals.co.uk www.virgin.co.uk WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We expect the site to reflect our corporate identity (see attached stationery) and have a clean, uncluttered look and feel throughout. We have outlined the specific requirements for individual pages below. ('Contact Us' is not listed as it has no specific requirements, but we still need a design for this page): HOME: 3 pieces of content (teaser) Call to action to sign-up for newsletter Call to action to sign-up for DietMinder trial offer (free pedometer) WEIGHT LOSS: 3 pieces of content (full-length version) DIETMINDER: Service logo Images should focus on consumer transformation and results Call to action to sign-up for DietMinder trial offer (free pedometer) JOIN: Web form to capture personal & payment details We’re not keen on the use of clichéd images, such as dumbbells, tape measures or weighing scales. However, if you have a novel way of treating such images we’d be happy to let you change our mind! We'd rather focus on images that show the positive outcomes that we help clients achieve or the changes have improved their lives. Feel free to decide on an appropriate style of images, based on your interpretation and understanding of the brief. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:43:22 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/excursionville_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a start up company and the purpose of the website is to be a video-based city guide. i.e. a travel resource made up of all the things you would typically find in a print version of a city guide, such as restaurant recommendations, sightseeing activities, places of interest, etc. Rather than be in a printed book, the recommendations will be made up of short videos on the website. All videos will be submitted by the general public, sometimes from traveler's and sometimes from the locals who hold pride in their city and want to tell the world about what makes their city special. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are seeking a logo for the company and would like the logo to incorporate the name Excursionville. We are searching for a beautifully simplistic logo that plays on the themes of travel, video and city. It should be clean, simple and eye catching. The logo will be used for our website and should be vector based. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Leisure, vacationing and business traveler's seeking additional information on the city they are visiting. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:47:58 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_and_business_card_for_web_firm LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Otonum.com’s slogan is “Autonomous web publishing”. We aim to give our clients, which are typically small businesses looking to have a beautiful web presence, the tools that they need to update the company website themselves without knowledge of HTML. We set them up with a Content Management System and teach them how to use it. So for day to day changes, anyone who followed a short tutorial can make changes to the site, hence the autonomy emphasis. Now with a name like OTONUM we see our offer as a way to break free from gravity, like an electron jumping out of its orbit. Would like to illustrate the concept of breaking out of the box, standing out in a crowd, jumping out of orbit. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need a Logo that would reflect our values and elements of our offering. These keywords might help: breaking out of the box, standing out in a crowd, jumping out of orbit, off the beaten path. I had toyed with the idea in this first logo you can see in the attachments, but would like to illustrate the concept better, and find a classier font. I like clean minimalist designs see the list below and for a complete list, and fonts that are timeless and exude a sense of lightness and purity. Name ingredients: Otonum = Autonomy, autonomous, self-sufficient The logo should work : - in B&W - in colour - vertically and horizontally You will find the information for the business card on the attached file (please use dimensions 2inch x 3.24inch, either vertical or horizontal, surprise me!). OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Small businesses looking to have a beautiful web presence, and the capacity to update their website themselves without knowledge of HTML. We set them up with a Content Management System and teach them how to use it. So for day to day changes, anyone who followed a short tutorial can make changes to the site, hence the autonomy emphasis. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: As for colors, I am opened to suggestions. You will see I have an inclination toward colorful logos and grayscale type, but this is not mandatory. As long as it harmonizes with a minimalist website backdrop such as the one attached (this website is subject to modifications such as removing the dark gray box where the logo could be placed). Font references and examples can be found in the links below: http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/801 : Visually magic, you can look at this logo for a while and still find a new angle to look: Outstanding! http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/454 : Great use of colors and transparency, just beautiful and simple http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/518 : Great use of type! And the choice of color is timeless, logo does the trick too! Great work! http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/30 : Love the Font choice and the minimalism of the logo http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/574 : nice edge and good use of type http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/401 : logo is intricate yet light, very well done http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/782 : I enjoy the freehand-like circles http://www.wolda.org/showcase/logo/414 : Strong concept in clean and monochrome http://www.rajasandhu.com/images/logos/boxbound_logo.jpg : Enjoyed the type choice and the perspective in the box. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:32:02 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/landing_page_uncoded/toobee LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are an all American toy company that has made the Toobee in Milwaukee, WI for over 30 years www.toobee.com and we have decided to spend our time and resources on www.cannedwater4kids.org We want to sell all of our inventory before Christmas so we can use the money to drill clean drinking water wells for kids in 3rd world countries We started the Toobee Airforce which has a motto that success comes in cans and failure comes in cannots. The TAF mission is to fly around the world to enforce world peace by bringing people together. If we chose your design we will give you credit & promote your name on our webpage. If we happen to sell most of these toys you will receive a cool surprise from us which we think you will really like We are the longest going unknown fad in the world. You can Google us and see for yourself. . HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We want a very creative & innovative simple web page that will sell the last 20,000 Toobees we have in inventory. Again all money goes to our www.cannedwater4kids.org charity. We already have a www.toobee.com which you can use as reference. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Kids 6 to 18 and college kids Anyone who plays Frisbee Frisbee pros call Toobee Frisbee's sister toy WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: No real preferences - you can use info from www.toobee.com WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Be very creative and innovative Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:19:25 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo_and_stationery/buiding_my_shiny_collection LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: This project is for a company called Magpie Accessory Maven. We are currently building a brand thru in-home sales and would like an updated, clean, yet whimsical logo and stationary to be used in our marketing and advertising materials. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Create a whimsical icon of a magpie bird incorporating either a piece of jewelry, a scarf or an handbag OR a combination of the three together. Possibly a crown on the birds head??? OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Budget conscience fashionistas, ages 25-55. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Saw a picture of a bird created by artist Penny Stotter called "Pretty Birds Like to Shop" and I really liked the concept; however, the design is a bit busy for a logo. The crown on top of the bird's head made me smile and I love that the bird is holding a handbag. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Need the name, Magpie (preferrable larger) Accessory Maven (more of a side note) for the logo and add "The new, luring accessory shopping experience" for the stationary. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:48:23 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/initial_logo_branding_concept_for_dental_practice LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a new start up dental practice in a market town (popn 150 000) in the UK. My vision is to provide a high standard of comprehensive dental care in a luxurious contemporary environment with an emphasis on highly personalised individual care. My values are based on a strong commitment to quality and integrity and mastering my profession. The practice has a strong team work ethos and I foster an environment where team members are encouraged to use their resourcefulness and initiative to deliver truly extraordinary care for the patients through excellent customer service. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need a logo to reflect the luxury concierge feel and style of the practice and convey a sense of trust confidence and integrity. I think it is best to think of this design brief as being for a top end design hotel or michelin starred restaurant (or any other high end service business) i.e. classy, quality and dare I say it expensive The logo should consist of: 1) A graphical representation (eg: the apple in Apple's brand, or the swoosh in Nike's.) which can be picked and stuck onto the end of a sentence or word; a bit like a subscript asterisk that you would add to draw some ones attention to terms and conditions at the end of a letter or contract. 2) The name of the practice. The final name has not been settled on but you may use any of these names (Sorry about the lack of clarity but I would like to see how different designs work with the text.) >> Saffron Garden Dental Spa >> Saffron Garden Dental Studio >> Saffron Garden Dental Care ..... I am open to suggestions based around these names. 3) Optionally you may add the words: >>> Innovative preventive, cosmetic and comprehensive dentistry. The logo and name will be used on letterheads, business cards, leaflets, envelopes, mugs and will be embroidered onto uniforms. AFTER FINE TUNING THE CHOSEN LOGO/DESIGN WE ARE LIKELY TO NEED THEM TO BE MODIFIED FOR THE ABOVE USES. WE EXPECT WE WILL HAVE A FURTHER AWARD FOR THIS AT A FUTURE DATE. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Private patients who are interested in their general health and are motivated to be as healthy and fit as possible. We should appeal to patients with neglected oral health (usually due to fear) to make the first step to visiting us. Our demographics are generally the over 40s adult patient usually female and the older "2nd lifers" i.e, the retired or soon to be retired who have worked hard and are willing to spend money to improve their appearance and health. Our demographic looks after themselves is active and participates in health and fitness activities. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: I really hate smiley toothbrushes and molars with skipping ropes or derivatives of these...

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo for our company. The logo will be used for our website and our clothing. We would like the logo to incorporate the name Nature Knits as well as a logo of either something related to nature or a baby animal or both. The logo should be able to be used separately as well. We want the logo to be clean, simple and eye catching. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target customers are trendy, educated, men and women between the ages of 18 - 40. We want our customers to think that we are a fashion conscious, environmentally friendly company, which we are! WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We like clean and simple designs, where just the logo (without the name Nature Knits) would look good imprinted on our baby products. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We don't want cluttered designs. We must have a logo that is separable from the words Nature Knits. It must also look distinct (and good!) as just the logo, which will be on our clothing, in a variety of different colors and against dark or light backgrounds.

I am a 35 year old male looking for something classy, sharp and fresh that will stand out but also not be too over the top or arrogant looking. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I would like 2 things. I need to brand my name so I would love some sort of logo designed with my actual name which is Josh Batley. I would also like something to be created using my initials JB. This will be used on bus bench ads, business cards, for sale signs potentially, website, power cards, newsletters etc. I would like the colours to be done in Red/White/Black but would also like the versatility of not always having to use those colours (kinda like the Nike Swoosh...sometimes black, sometimes red etc.) I want it to be cool but not cocky or arrogant. I'm looking for classy. I am an athletic, friendly, outgoing and happy person and would like my logo to reflect my personality if possible as I am branding myself. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Target audience is young professionals and young families. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: I'm wide open to various ideas.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:38:49 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/upedated_brand_look_stationary LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Inland is a label printer mainly for the beverage industry, but we also print labels for the food, consumer products, dairy, and health & beauty industries. We are a major player in the label industry, but we are a smaller company so while many know of us and the great work we do, we struggle with brand recognition across our industry. We want an updated brand look that is recognizable and professional without losing the brand recognition that we already have for our existing logo. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need an updated look for our business cards, letterhead and envelopes. The updated look for these items would then drive the look/format of our updated master PowerPoint template, printed literature and website. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our customers are mainly buyers in larger corporations. They may only procure labels or they might be involved in all aspects of packaging. The main message of our brand is that we are a family owned company that provides the best quality and the best customer service in the label printing industry. We consider ourselves the label experts and do everything we can to help our customers get labels that look and perform how they need/expect them to. We take pride in being a small company that is family owned, and feel it allows us to make decisions quickly - always doing what is best for the customer. We consider ourselves a leader in our industry for innovative ideas and introducing new products to the market. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Our logo and complete contact information. The logo is attached. Our tagline uses Arno Pro Semi Bold font. We would like to see our slogan incorporated somewhere if possible "The Label Experts!" "A divison of Inland Label & Marketing Services, LLC" must appear on both the letterhead and the business cards but can be a fairly small font. Incorporating other/complementary colors might be a welcome change/addition to our look but is not necessary. I have attached a picture our existing business package for your reference. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:07:21 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/write_strategy_company_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Company Name: Write Strategy I first identify and evaluate my customers target market and competition, then create messaging and copy to persuade their customers to respond. I do website copy, sales letters, event brochures , sales presentations, fundraising letters, etc… anything that requires persuasion. Logo will be seen at many events at Super Bowl in Miami. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need a company logo that will be used for website and collateral and will set the tone and flavor of my company. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: My target audience is business owners, large and small. Web and Brick and Mortar. I want them to feel confident that I can write content that gets results! WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I would like the design to be bold. "Bold, and to the point" No script - I attached a logo that was cool because it has used writing symbols. Would be great to have symbols that represent writing -- just not pen or pencil. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Logo MUST have tagline and quotation marks included in it. WRITE STRATEGY "Copywriting that Gets Results...Guaranteed" I envision it in a square format but am open to different I envision mostly black with an accent of color I would like the design to be bold. "Bold, and to the point" I like modern look I am about "strategy, positioning & writing" I don't want to box myself into just writing too much. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:26:50 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/website_templates_for_security_systems_company We are looking for a fresh new design for a couple of existing sites that are different brands within the same group of companies, and will therefore have a common look and feel. Due to this we require a design that will look good with a variety of base colours. The companies in question provide security related devices for buildings (e.g. revolving doors, CCTV systems, car park barriers etc). The design must suit the type of audience buying these products. With regard to look and feel the client has some preferences - most prominently a light, clean and organised look. The client likes the boxed look of http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/default.aspx as well as the background concept. Another site of interest is http://www.principalcorp.co.uk. This site has a navigation concept they are keen on e.g a main nav across the top of the page, a sub-nav down the left side as well as another fixed nav element which contains links to common pages across the site. It is envisaged that each main nav element will have a drop down to aid faster navigation. Attached are a few wireframes that show the sorts of layout that the site will use. These layouts will be used inside a content management system so therefore must suit the potential variability that this might provide, whilst taking into account the fixed elements such as navigation. Colour wise, the only existing colours are those in the logos - orange and blue. It would be nice for the designs to differentiate the brand using these colour schemes where possible. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:11:03 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/small_website_uncoded/it_services_firm_site_design LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are an IT/Computer/Network support services firm serving Northern Virginia and Metro DC. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a Home Page and Sub Page design based 2 wire frames we've already created. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Small Businesses, Non Profits, Associations, and professionals like architects, accountants, etc. a 10-30 person company is his ideal client. Primary roles of our buyers are business owners and office managers. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: http://www.evolvetech.com/ http://www.ziptechservices.co.uk/ WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: FYI the site will be used within a CMS. Please stick to the wire frames as much as possible. Also, please use relevant photos (the wire frame photo needs to be changed). Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:14:25 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/landing_page_uncoded/3_x_landing_page_designs_for_online_dating_portfolio_casual_adult_dating LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are setting up 3 distinct online dating sites in the UK catering to the casual/adult end of the market. The sites are powered by a white-label partner who handle customer service, admin & all back-end requirements. Our job is to create a compelling brand and landing page for each dating site that maximises conversion from click to registration. Registration is free but to communicate with others on the site payment is required The sites are only open to over 18s. The sites are bone fide dating sites not porn sites. They don't carry adult content or explicit images/video. The landing pages need to be enticing and sexy but not tacky and threatening. They need to verge on erotic but not be pornographic. They need to appear slick & professional not dodgy and suspicious (i.e. not a scammer-site) HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need 3 landing page designs incorporating logo & brand design/colours. The 3 different sites are distinct in their character and appeal to users with different desires and different tolerance levels to casual/adult dating. The landing page designs are to be provided as Photoshop layered files for coding by another 3rd party. Brand 1 - www.hotyoungthoungs.co.uk Targeting guys/girls aged 25-40. The brand/site needs to be young, fun and frisky. Landing page should be light and playful it's in mood. Imagery should be bold, flirty and promiscuous. The page should appeal directly to guys in their 20s & 30s but also be tempting to older guys in their 40s. The landing page should make prominent use of the new/actual member feeds rather than stock imagery. Brand 2 - www.discretesingles.co.uk Targeting men/women aged 40-50. The brand/site is classy, demure and understated. It should be provocative but not explicit. It should appeal to someone who is curious but cautious about casual dating. They want to join a site that isn't threatening and has a element of class to it. It should also offer secrecy - it can be a guilty pleasure of the person registering. The landing page can be quite sparse; it shouldn't reveal too much but give a hint of what is behind the registration - it should tease the user and make them want to explore further. The imagery should be stylish but subtly erotic and appeal to a more sophisticated, older age group many of whom may have previously been married and now single again and looking to experiment. Landing page should use stock imagery - NOT use new member feed. Brand 3 - www.promiscuouswomen.co.uk Targeting men aged 30-45. The brand is racy and provocative but not tacky. This brand is like a high class escort rather than a £20 lap dance. They're both sexy but one is classy and un-obtainable, the other is in your face and degrading. The landing page should be erotic and mischievous and leave the user wanting to see more, much more! Imagery should be bold & strong –using 100% female images. Women on this site aren’t wilting violets, they’re sex kittens who know what they want. Imagery should be a blend of stock photography and the actual/new user feed. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: See above for specific demographic breakdown - roughly Men and women aged 25-50 Men represent 70% of this market so designs should be geared towards men but not alienate women too much. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Sorry i'm not able to find many sites that i really like but there are lots i don't which might be useful for you to check out and read my criticisms - http://www.benaughty.com - this site is clear & uncluttered but not very provocative. Hot Young Things could be similar to this but using the new/actual member feed http://www.canoodle.com - this site is also clean & contemporary and useful for Hot Young Things. But it still lacks real call to action - the landing page's absolute priority is to drive registrations. http://www.hornymatches.com/ - this site is awful. A classic cheap, tacky site and very dated. http://www.playnaughty.com/join.php? - more sophisticated site but very dull looking and not enticing enough to register http://www.theadulthub.com/ - nice contemporary design but too subtle and too text heavy. http://www.maturedatinguk.com/ - clean but dull and awful stock photography. Nothing genuine or provocative about this site http://www.datinginsecret.com/ - this is much more sophisticated and the use of darker background gives air of secrecy and mystery. This is a useful site to review for the Discrete singles landing page. http://www.quickflirt.com - quite a nice simple and understated design but not very contemporary. Terrible fonts http://www.firstaffair.com/ - quite a unique style but looks cheap and the full purple background is too full on. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The designs must incoporate certain functionality & footer links that the white-label partner can provide. Functionality provided - 1) registration form ; 2) feed of actual new members / existing members 3) login/password (for existing/returning members) Footer links - Privacy Policy , Terms & Conditions , Contact Us , About Us , Online dating , Dating Here are 3 examples of existing dating services powered by the white-label provider. These are provided to showcase functionality rather than design. http://adultchanneldating.co.uk/ http://mrright.co.uk/ http://www.benaughty.com/ Objective - the absolute priority of the landing pages is to drive registrations. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:41:27 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_sae_chicago_section_society_of_automotive_engineers LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are the local section (chapter) of SAE International – formerly known as the Society of Automotive Engineers. We serve the engineering community of practicing engineers as well as college chapters of our organization, and cover a geographic region centered on Chicago from the Wisconsin border south to Kankakee and west to Rockford. Our technical community has involvement with areas of vehicle engineering, design, and development in areas ranging from passenger cars, to commercial vehicles (trucks and construction equipment) and even into aeronautics and space vehicles. While we have the strongest historical association with the automotive industries (the “A” in SAE) we do currently serve a broadened audience that extends into construction equipment, aeronautics, and marine engineering. As the Chicago section we stage professional meetings with speakers, tours, and displays of technical interest to those in the vehicle industries, and the many component industries that supply them, such as engines, tires, radiators, vehicle electronics, fuels and lubricants, etc. We also support the college chapters in their activities, which center on the design, construction, and competition motor sport vehicles such as race cars, high fuel efficiency vehicles, low emission snowmobiles, and model airplanes. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a new logo design that would be primarily used on banners and placards at our events. It should suggest our tie to our parent organization (incorporation of SAE bug, use of same blue color scheme) and should evoke our tie to the automotive vehicle industry, and would be nice if it also suggested our Chicago location. (Yeah – you could use the skyline, but everyone uses that). Maybe there is something you could do with other iconic Chicago images like – Navy Pier, the Chicago Theater marquee, Buckingham Fountain, the Millennium Park “Bean” sculpture, the stars of the Chicago flag, Chicago Water Tower, etc. It should be fresh and bold – but not too cartoonish. Color use should be confined to our corporate Blue and perhaps with black added. To be best used on horizontal banners, or along the top/bottom of placards it should have a horizontal layout with an aspect ratio of between 2:1 to 4:1. (Length:Height) OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Principally our own membership and event guests who are getting tired of looking at our old felt banner that looks like it belongs to a high school sports team from the 1950’s. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: The SAE bug – that would be good to incorporate – notice that the slanted characters implies motion and the line through the center is reminiscent of a highway dividing line: The Washington DC section has a great logo that suggests their location, incorporates the SAE bug, and uses the preferred color scheme. Milwaukee section of SAE has a skyline logo that incorporates (I guess) the city’s distinctive Art Museum (on the left). Don’t like this one quite as much as the Washington DC. Maybe something could be done with the word “Chicago” similar to the Bandag logo where the tail of the “g” has a tire tread pattern (suggests vehicle industry) where the SAE bug is worked into the tread pattern. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: In the logo we may be referred to as The Chicago Section of SAE”, or “SAE Chicago Section”. No other naming method is permitted. (No references such as SAE International Chicago Section). The logo must be either black, white on a dark background (dark is any equivalent color value richer than 50% black), PMS 301 blue, or a suitable dark blue. Sufficient contrast must be created between the logo, type, and background as to allow readability from a distance. The Section logo cannot “sandwich” or cover / obstruct the SAE bug. The official parent organization’s rules on what can be used can be found in Section 5.2.5 Policy for SAE Logo Use – which is posted online at: http://forums.sae.org/access/dispatch.cgi/SBD_pf/showFile/104124/d20070830144537/Yes/Revised+4-07Sections+Operational+Manual.doc While we will accept entries in JPG format, vector based graphics are preferred to allow us to enlarge the logo to banner size with minimal distortion. And as much as we would like to see images that evoke our Chicago location – please, no gangsters.
