Hi,

I need a logo done for a forum, payment of $25 via Paypal.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/design-contests/518431-resolved-forum-logo-design-25-a.html
I want a quick job so 1st drafts should be in today if possible with a view to picking a winner & making payment within 2 days.

Logo Should read:
Main Text: Development.tv
Sub Text: The .tv development community

View the forum at www.Development.tv to get a idea of the look of the forum. Logo should obviously go where the 'AplitexDark' text is just now.
I can send you a file with the background image if that helps, if so then PM me & i'll send you it.

Right now we dont have a vision for the logo, just has to look clean, classy & fit well with the current forum look.
Pay special attention to the '.TV' in the main text, maybe do something special around the '.tv' to make it stand out.

Sorry to be vague for now but we have no clear vision just yet, make some 1st drafts & we will soon work out what we like / hate.

Please nobody send something that is just simple text that takes 2 minutes to type in photoshop, if thats what i wanted then i'd do it myself.

PM me if you want any info, try get working on it as soon as possible & you may have payment before the weekend is over.

Cheers,
Ronnie

Here's what I've been working on.

...your background:


...no background:


second option:


Let me know if you would like any color tweaks, size changes, etc. I'm more than willing to switch it up and work on it today.

(Sorry I left out the period before the tv on the first two... easily fixed for final version)

Thanks,
Scott

Nice 1st drafts all, thanks for the quick work.

I've spoken to my partner and here is our opinions on what could make it better for us:

What I think could work well for the logo : - Font and colour for main text : something similar to the "evelopment" part of Tanzoma's logo (not in bold)
- D capital letter as on Stebes's logo
- Design around .TV : something similar to Stebes's logo (not exactly sure if it would work with the font for the main text but I hope it would)
- Font and colour for subtext : something similar to the subtext of Tanzoma's logo
- T capital letter as on Stebes's logo
- Subtext should read ".tv" rather than "TV" (the dot being obviously important)- Subtext aligned to the left (because of the design around ".TV")

We need a blend of the simple, corporate look of tanz.oma's but also a little bit of the design elements the others tried.

Good Luck!

Stebes: We like the 2nd option much more.
Could you make the sub-text much lighter though.
Maybe try a few variations of the design around the '.Tv' also as we are not 100% sure there.

Could you please provide a 'web preview' like tanz.oma done as it makes it so much easier to get a feel for the design.

[Stebes]

Ok, refined version:

For the subtext, would you be willing to go with any colors other than variations of blue? The only "lighter" color that shows up well against the background is essentially white.

Can you make the subtext a little bigger, i found it a little hard to make out. (did you use a shadow, if so then maybe get rid of that) Try leaving a little space between main text & subtext also.

Maybe try changing the .tv to something nearer the early design as we didnt think it worked on your latest design.

Getting closer though.

[Stebes]

Thanks for the feedback, just a bit confused, which .tv design did you prefer?

[tanz.oma]

Revision.

Another possibility,



I'll check for a response tomorrow regarding the previous .TV part.

BG can be added later.

Hi,

Sorry for the slightly later than expected reply but we have been debating this design a lot.

Can a Web Preview be included with all future designs as without it we struggle to see how clear the text will look.

Here is what we like so far:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=518431
The Text/Subtext in 'Stebes' latest design is our favourite so far, looks perfect for the site.

BUT

We still havent seen a '.TV' that fits our vision. The '.TV' at the right hand side should be the 'wow' factor really as everything else is just text (nice text though) So please try design something a bit special for that area.

One thing we thought may work is the rectangle, almost TV shaped Box that tanz.oma used in post 9. Maybe try something like that but of course make the text sit better as its too close to one side.

We are getting close to completion now, some small changes & then we should be happy.


Xavier: Sorry i dont feel your design fits the site.

Good Luck.

Stebes: The '.TV' still isnt working for us (sorry)
Could you try making the TV shape a lot more like a slightly curved rectangle / modern flat screen TV with the letters '.TV' on the screen.
For the TV Shape, maybe something like the tv shape on: www.wrexham.tv

If you have any other ideas to make the '.tv' part really stand out & look custom designed then please give it a go rather than try one design and wait all day on us being able to get back to you (due to time zones we are sleeping when your designing)

Keep trying, getting very close.

Feedback appreciated.

I can design what you're requesting to Stebes, but that'd make your logo common to the rest. You requested both professional and some other elements, which I assumed is the Web 2.0, that you were referring to. Also, I'd appreciate a bit of insight on where I stand with my entry.

Can you give us a web preview of this.

We havent discounted your design at all.
We really like the Text on Stedes but the '.tv' part has not been perfected just yet.
I like your current design but want to see a preview 1st.

[tanz.oma]

I provided a web preview to the previous one. Nothing major has changed since then.
Anyway, here it is again.

Stebes was 1st class, even helped after the deal was done when we had trouble with some background colours.
A true Pro who was quick, easy to deal with.

Thanks all,
Ronnie
