      <title>Apptizr Website and iPhone App Logo Design</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/apptizr_website_and_iphone_app_logo_design</link>
      <description>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&apos;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 &quot;serving up great apps based on your tastes&quot;.

You can signup for our invite only service via the link below and this ten letter invite code &apos;CrowdSprng&apos; (CrowdSpring without the &quot;i&quot; 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&apos;s logo and iPhone app icon is also good in this way. We like the 4Square logo and iPhone app icon because it&apos;s simple and unique.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

For our website logo the design needs to include the name &quot;apptizr&quot; (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 &quot;apptizr&quot; 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&apos;s dimensions are small (say 40px by 4px), so it shouldn&apos;t be too complicated. </description>

      <title>Women&apos;s Professional Billiard Association</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/women_s_professional_billiard_association</link>
      <description>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 &quot;stars&quot;, 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 &quot;The Black Widow&quot;, 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&apos;t limit your ideas to anything you see here... The intent is for an eventual rebranding of all things, including the website, colors, etc.

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&apos;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.  </description>

      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

The Sewing Studio, a fashion design &amp; modern sewing studio opened in Pasadena, CA to teach kids, teens, and young adults (ages 8 to 30) how to sew their own clothes inspired by popular famous fashion designers.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a new logo that will help build our brand in Los Angeles. It will be used on our website and need to associate us with a hip, young, do-it-yourself fashionista. The logo would also appear on our marketing materials including tee shirts, signage, business cards and fliers.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our target audiences are mostly upper-middle class working parents who pay for the fashion sewing classes for their kids and teenagers that are interested in fashion. 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. All my students and their parents alike respect the credibility and association my staff and I have with the nearby college Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (www.fidm.com). My teen and young adult students all watch the popular TV show “Project Runway” and “The Hills”.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

While researching logos I found a few logos I&apos;d like for you to see. I put these as examples only due to their amazingly stylish, creative and witty ideas. I want our logo to demonstrate this out-of-the-box kind of thinking.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

I absolutely must have my company name (The Sewing Studio) included in the logo design.</description>

      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

This logo is for an ad network which will be used by the online adult industry.

All facets of the adult industry and all ad/creative types will be covered.  Flat rate advertising as well as bidding based advertising will be allowed.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

Logo should be for &quot;Adult Bid&quot;  or &quot;AdultBid&quot;.  The &quot;.com&quot; should not be used in the main logo.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Adult industry business to business.  Both companies and individuals looking to sell or buy ad space.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

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.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a logo that can be easily recognized through online marketing, web advertising, PPT presentations, and blogging as well as something that will work well as a print medium for flyers and brochures.

(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.

      <title>LSI Music</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/lsi_music</link>
      <description>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&apos;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&apos;t selling a product directly. The logo is meant to identify the brand without &quot;overselling&quot; the concept of what we do. Recognition is key, but business to consumer sales are not.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;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. </description>

      <title>Sum-Met - logo</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/sum_met_logo</link>
      <description>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 &quot;SM&quot;; or, &quot;M&quot;; 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.

      <title>Logo for online journal site for women</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_online_journal_site_for_women</link>
      <description>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&apos;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&apos;re not sure of the exact demo yet, but hope it&apos;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&apos;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&apos;s clothing site. It should feel more meditative than exiting. </description>

      <title>Tortuga Backpacks Logo</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/tortuga_backpacks_logo</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

TORTUGA BACKPACKS is an online retail company that sells a travel backpack called &quot;La Tortuga.&quot; 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&apos;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&apos;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&apos;re targeting those who travel abroad, especially to Europe, Australia, and the far East recreationally.

They should think we&apos;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://www.jdayent.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/300px-Jumpman_logo_011.jpg

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;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!</description>

      <title>Logo for a healthcare club of the world&apos;s No.1 marketing school, Kellogg School at Northwestern Univ</title><link>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</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Be a designer of the logo for the most popular student club of the world&apos;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 &quot;Health Enterprise Management Club&quot;. 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 &quot;healthcare&quot; with our club, obviously. 
(At Kellogg, we&apos;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&apos;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&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

We must have the &quot;full name&quot; 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&apos;re not uploading any files because we don&apos;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!</description>

We are starting a new site who&apos;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 &quot;iHeart Auto&quot;. 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&apos;s logo, MiamiOverdose.com logo, LG&apos;s logo. Logo&apos;s of that mold. 

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;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. </description>

      <title>Polliwiggle - A Logo Design for a Children&apos;s Apparel Website</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/polliwiggle_a_logo_design_for_a_children_s_apparel_website</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

polliwiggle.com is a startup children&apos;s apparel website that was founded upon the core values of simplicity, affordability and thoughtfulness.  We are NOT a discount children&apos;s clothing company; we offer access to great children&apos;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&apos;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 &amp; Barrel.  

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;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 &quot;polliwiggle&quot; word logo you create.

      <title>Excursionville logo</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/excursionville_logo</link>
      <description>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&apos;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&apos;s seeking additional information on the city they are visiting.

      <title>Logo and business card for Web Firm</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_and_business_card_for_web_firm</link>
      <description>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&amp;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.

      <title>Initial logo/branding concept for dental practice</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/initial_logo_branding_concept_for_dental_practice</link>
      <description>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&apos;s brand, or the swoosh in Nike&apos;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.)
&gt;&gt; Saffron Garden Dental Spa
&gt;&gt; Saffron Garden Dental Studio
&gt;&gt; Saffron Garden Dental Care
..... I am open to suggestions based around these names.

3) Optionally you may add the words:
&gt;&gt;&gt; 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 &quot;2nd lifers&quot; 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&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

I really hate smiley toothbrushes and molars with skipping ropes or derivatives of these...</description>

      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a company selling baby clothing made from organic materials.

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&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

We don&apos;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.</description>

      <title>Logo for SAE Chicago Section (Society of Automotive Engineers)</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_sae_chicago_section_society_of_automotive_engineers</link>
      <description>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&apos;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.</description>

We need a slick, solid logo to be used on our new website, stationary and advertising. Our logo would also appear as a badge at the footer of client websites in small. We would like a portion of the logo to work well as the web browsers 16 X 16 favicon.

We often build systems where accuracy and reliability is essential such as high volume e-commerce websites.

We want our clients and potentials to think of us as professional, trustworthy, and capable of anything but with a personal touch.

      <title>Web Media Startup - Logo and Header Design</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/web_media_startup_logo_and_header_design</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Theorypedia is a project to gather the world&apos;s largest, most-inclusive collection of theories. We are creating a global community that creates, debates, challenges and shares the theories that add meaning, understanding — and new questions — to our lives.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We have a web application that needs logo and header artwork. I have uploaded a screenshot of the current header area we would like redesigned as well as a screenshot of the entire homepage for reference. 


Notes:
- The logo doesn&apos;t necessarily need to have an associated icon and could be just text treatment. It is written &quot;Theorypedia&quot; and should be sans-serif.

- Logo should have a vector version for print use.

- The header design needs to incorporate all of the current elements shown in the uploaded example. 

- The tagline should be changed from &quot;The Why Behind the World&quot; to &quot;The Global Home For All Theories&quot;.

- Feel free to retreat email, rss, twitter and facebook icons as needed. 

- The header should be 950 pixels wide and a little taller than it currently is (feels a bit cramped). 

- &quot;Login&quot; and &quot;Register&quot; need to be text links and not images. We can change the position, color, size and font to suit your design.

- We can change the color of the category tabs to suit your design as well.


Other than that, let the creative juices flow.

      <title>Wedding Ideas Now</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/wedding_ideas_now</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

I have produced a diverse wedding line of products.  There is a deck of cards (ideas and inspiration for your wedding); 2 books: one book on different colored drinks you can have at your wedding / one is a wedding planning book.  I will also be adding various products to the line as time goes on.  Wedding Greeting Cards, etc. . 

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

I need a logo that is elegant and represents my line.  Has to have beautiful flowing font (I have attached a couple of my products so you can get an idea of the fonts that I have used).  I will be using this logo for my website and then of course for EVERYTHING else.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Newly engaged brides and anyone who would like to give a gift to a newly engaged bride.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Attached you can see some of the graphics on 2 of my products.  This logo has to be clean.  Would like the colors to remain wedding related: Ivory, champagne, chocolate browns.  I have attached another photo with a dark peachy-pink (below) which I think would be a good accent color to bring in.  I have thought about including the infinity symbol in the logo (but not sure how it would look).  Infinity symbol would have to be smaller than the words.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

Nothing corny.  NO rings, dresses or any one product that normally goes with a wedding.</description>

      <title>Name, Logo, Branding for Ecommerce Website</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/name_logo_branding_for_ecommerce_website</link>
      <description>WHAT WE NEED:
Name, Logo, Tag line

We are opening a retail variety store website. Ultimately we will sell a product assortment similar to Walmart, Target, Amazon, Overstock, etc… In addition to our full product assortment, our homepage will have a DEAL OF THE DAY feature similar to Woot! We will also be creating widgets for all of the social media sites to interact with our deal of the day feature.

We have come up with a few different names, but have not come to a conclusion. We’d like you to come up with some new names / logos on your own or use one of our names and brand it. We want a name that is unique and can be interpreted by us. Ideally it would be able to be used as a noun or verb for different purposes related to the site such as Google, Woot, or Twitter. You are welcome to create subsets of the name. For example, to use Twitter means to “tweet”. We have included some ideas we had below.

Again, you are welcome to submit designs using the domains we own, but we’d like to see what you can come up with on your own. Please give some insight as to why you chose your name, design, tag lines, what it means and how it can be used.

We own the following domains:

Wompoo.com (WOMP IT!)
Voompo.com
Voomstores.com
Voopstores.com

We have access to purchase these domains:

NumNum.com (TASTY DEALS, DELICIOUS PRICES, etc…)
Xoon.com

RULES:
Any name suggestion you submit must have the DOT COM available. By submitting to this project, you are ensuring that you have verified the availability of your name. You are welcome to use DOT COM names that you own only if you are willing to include them in the price of the project. Please disclose this information if it applies to you.

This is a private project so no other creatives can see your work. This will allow us to purchase the DOT COM of the winner prior to notifying that person. You are not eligible to win if your suggested domain name is not available.

Although not required, we&apos;d really prefer this to be a vector based logo.

We will be very active on this site giving as much feedback as possible. Please ask all the questions you want. We’re eager to answer.

      <title>Logo for Ticket Site!  TicketExperts.com</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_ticket_site_ticketexperts_com</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a ticket reseller, a place that lists the tickets that others have purchased and want to either sell for a profit, or want to sell because they cannot go to the event anymore.

You can check out the site at http://ticketexperts.com to see the current website.  We believe we have a strong name for branding purposes, but have to get the logo right as well.

Our primary competitors include StubHub, TicketsNow and TicketNetwork.  TicketMaster is often confused as a competitor, but they sell new tickets (not resale).  However, we want to send a message of a strong corporate brand much like a TicketMaster.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a logo that portrays a strong sense of confidence, (nothing cartoonish for example) and ties together what we are trying to accomplish - resell tickets at a fair price.

Although we are not looking for business card designs right now, we will eventually use this logo outside of the website so attention to print-ability would be appreciated.  It does not have to be able to be black/white though.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our target audience is fairly broad, we sell tickets to football as well as broadway theatre.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

We like the design of our webpage and colours that match that scheme.  We do like the simplicity of the StubHub logo, but do not want a rip-off version.

      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

This is for a website that does document preparation for LLCs, Corporations, etc. 

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We&apos;ve had a bunch of people attempt this logo, but it really is a tough one for some reason. Probably because the conontations of &quot;do&quot; are infinite ;-)

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

People looking to form an LLC, entreprenuers, home-based businesses, etc. What this site would do would be a quasi-legal service (document preparation). Our audience would be the same people going to incoporate.com, BizFilings.com, Legalzoom.com, MyCorporation.com, or MyLLC.com.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

We are very impressed with the sample projects on the CrowdSpring.com homepage. There is obviously a ton of talent on this site. For this project, we have no color preference. Horrifying I know, but we have absolutely no idea or direction on this whatsoever (LOL), so we are looking to you to show us! Sorry to be so vague, but we really haven&apos;t been able to wrap our heads around this. If we like the logo design, then a forthcoming webpage visualization would also be desired.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

We don&apos;t want something that would be too difficult to print later (unless it&apos;s just so incredibly good ;-)) Just no super-crazy 8 million color gradients, etc. ;-)</description>

      <title>friendsell.com logo: social selling and buying done right! big boys snoozed so we&apos;re stepping up!</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/friendsell_com_logo_social_selling_and_buying_done_right_big_boys_snoozed_so_we_re_stepping_up</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

friendsell.com is a startup currently in private beta.  We are a few weeks away from our public beta and open registrations.  However, before we do that we want to make sure we have a professional logo that will serve our permanent needs.  Today we have something that was hacked together in 15 minutes. 

Here is a little about what friendsell.com is about: 
Our motto is &quot;because dibs are better than bids&quot;.  We are a new kind of social classified site.  We let our members choose how public or private to make their listings. By limiting potential buyers to friends and family, you can trust that you&apos;re not going to get ripped off by some d-bag on craigslist or ebay. Plus, we find that people would rather give first dibs to people they know.  However, if you prefer to deal in the public model (ala craigslist.org), you can do that too.  In my case, I tend to mix and match.  There are certain things I only want family to know about, certain things I only want friends and acquaintances to know about, and certain things I want the world to know about.   These options are all available and incredibly easy to use. 

read our first blogpost at http://friendsell.wordpress.com for a slightly longer description. 


HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

A professionally designed logo that will help put us on the map.  We&apos;ve got a great site, now we just need a great logo to compliment it. 

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

The world :)  OK, not exactly, but we&apos;re not far off.  We believe 50% of craigslist users would benefit from friendsell (we&apos;re excluding spammers, scammers and adult section folks). 

On top of that, we are opening up the market to a whole host of users that are interested in social selling and buying within friends, family and interest groups.  

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

We are big fans of social sites such as twitter, facebook and wordpress.  They all have logos that are memorable, but aren&apos;t overly complex and go really well with their overall look and feel. 

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

We suggest you visit our site http://www.friendsell.com, or better yet register and use it.  We&apos;ve created a special invite page for the crowdspring designers that will allow you to register now (we are currently in closed beta to the public). 

http://www.friendsell.com/r/logo

We&apos;re open to suggestions from you, the experts.  Here are the only requirements: 
* We do like the current color scheme, so it should either match it or be close to it.  If it makes sense, we are OK to update the color scheme of the site provided it still has that clean look and feel
* The name &quot;friendsell&quot; has to be readable.  Nothing too abstract that you can&apos;t easily read it.
* Limit the amount of &quot;extra noise&quot; unless it really helps bring out the spirit of friendsell. 

Other than that, be creative.  We will be providing lots of feedback to the entries so you&apos;ll know if you&apos;re on the right track or not. </description>

      <title>Logo design for a new startup selling stylish eco-friendly bags</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_design_for_a_new_startup_selling_stylish_eco_friendly_bags</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Good day Creatives!

Business soul/essense:   Freedom

2) Product is eco-friendly bag with stylish design that evokes a sense of &apos;freedom&apos; (will post project for designs at later part once I finalise the themes, styles and concepts).  

3) I&apos;m a 32yr old guy who wants to play his part to save the environment and at the same time be financially-rewarded in doing so. My vision: everyone on the streets trotting my green bags

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

The logo will be use on: 

1) Website, Facebook, Tweeter

2) Socially and environmentally consicous
3) Embrace &apos;freedom&apos; spirit
4) Impulsive buyers with comfortable spending power
5) Trendsetters and expressive in what they wear and carry

What I want my customers to think about my business, brand or product:
1) Liberate their &apos;freedom&apos; soul and makes them feel good
2) As a source for them to play their part for the environment
3) Enables them to be themselves and to express themselves as an individual
4) As their trusted, caring and reliable companion 

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Style:  
1) Clean / Uncluttered
2) Fresh
3) Evokes the freedom spirit.. yet somewhat down-to-earth (hope I&apos;m not contradicting.. let me know if I do)

Colors (not more than 3 for clean look):
1) Blue (heard its a &apos;freedom&apos; color)
2) White (heard its a &apos;freedom&apos; color)
3) Green (for the &apos;green&apos; word.. no choice I guess)
4) Open to other interpretions but must  be clean, fresh and evokes &apos;freedom&apos; soul

Font:
1) For &apos;my&apos;: sort of &apos;freestyle&apos; but not too dramatic (to evoke &apos;freedom&apos; soul)
2) For &apos;green&apos; and &apos;bag&apos;: clean and fresh look
3) All alphabets in small letters

      <title>Digital Nomad logo</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/digital_nomad_logo</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

I&apos;m an indie filmmaker at the point where I need to give my company more of a profile, as opposed to just being a gun for hire.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

Logo. My company name is Digital Nomad Productions. I often go by just Digital Nomad or DNP.
The logo will be key art on the website as well as used at the head or tail of projects, including web based projects.

It will inform all of the other creative elements on the website.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Indie film fans. Hip, style conscious 

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

I&apos;ve toyed with various &apos;compass rose&apos; designs, a mix of the letters DNP, even a nomadic figure that is deconstructed a la &apos;digitalization&apos;, none of my own stuff has clicked or seemed to wow me. Am pretty open. I do film, need someone who does design!

Like the idea that the logo could &apos;evolve&apos; via some form of animation or that it has a sense of motion that could be incorporated; i.e., a compass rose spinning to a stop.

      <title>Mixed martial arts clothing line logo (and possible name)</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/mixed_martial_arts_clothing_line_logo_and_possible_name</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a mixed martial arts retailer that is developing an in house clothing line, similar to how retailers like Target produce their own clothing, but not under the Target name.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a logo for the line and potentially a new name other than our working concept which is Mallee.  We like the name but are completely open to other concepts.  The logo will be put on clothing and also shown on websites.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

18-35 year old males who are fans of mixed martial arts and may also train in it.  These are passionate fans with a discerning taste, so the logo needs to come off professional and not patronizing to the fact that its a combat sport (i.e no blood, cage print, etc).

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Lots of skate/surf/sports designs and names - simple, clear, but memorable.  All are single words, often very unique and each can easily be stylized and reprinted.

Adidas
Billabong
DC
Element
Nike
Volcom

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

If working off a different name than Mallee, then stay away from words and designs that are cliche like &quot;fighting, gear, cage, combat, submission, KO, etc.&quot;... all that has been overdone and our customer doesn&apos;t need to be told through the name that it is a fighting brand.  Also no blood, no cage print, nothing too violent.  Skate/Surf cos. are a great example of this.  Billabong just has a small wave to indicate surfing - something like that is acceptable.  Also, you cannot use the Octagon in any designs as it is trademarked.</description>

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

      <title>Logo for GO PRO a Non-Profit movement</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_go_pro_a_non_profit_movement</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

The “Go Pro” movement, founded by All-Pro NFL Cornerback Nate Clements is dedicated to empower the dreams of young people everywhere to “Go Pro” in life through education, exposure and athletics.  The power to be a pro comes from a solid education, sound choices and giving your best everyday.  “Go Pro” is a program developed to stir up excitement amongst young people for their potential career options in their desired field, sports and beyond. 

 “Go Pro” means to: 

G-Get the proper education for the job
O-Open your own doors to success through hard work

O-Own It!  Be The Pro That You Are

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We&apos;re looking for a logo that demonstrates the &quot;GO PRO&quot; message of I-Can-Do anything to inspire the next generation of leaders.

Logo should include &quot;with Nate Clements&quot; as a subtitle or incorporated into the logo.

We are open to all color schemes but want the logo to be clean and simple.  Also keep in mind that we want the logo to be Aspirational, Connected to Youth, Universal – so the movement can grow into other forms, not too overstated and not too understated.

Keep in mind the logo colors will eventually be incorporated into a website design.



OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our target is geared toward youths of all races and colors between the ages of 5 - 18.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

The logo should not be specific to any profession or professional sport.  

We do not want to see a logo with an overly &quot;kiddie&quot; (child) feel.  

We do not want the logo to include Nate Clements face or body outline.  

We are open to using an icon that can be associated with the &quot;GO PRO&quot; movement.</description>

Please make sure your submissions do not include any of the following:

* No stock photos
* No generic logo shapes that you&apos;ve submitted to a bunch of other projects (i.e. arrows folding in on themselves, etc)
* No text only &quot;logos&quot;

Please make sure that you&apos;re submitting original logo ideas for this project:

* Related to our industry (shopping cart service)
* Reference to our name (Cheddr) and it&apos;s play on &quot;cheddar&quot; cheese and it&apos;s meaning of &quot;money&quot;
* Include a graphic and text element (either of which could stand alone)</description>
