Please help break the tie

Rob Monster · Apr 2, 2020

Need a quick help.

We have an internal dispute at Epik about logo selection for NameLiquidate.com. The boys can't seem to work out amongst themselves and so I get to break the tie with a 24 hour poll. Thanks!

Think about the concept

There is a need for the concept you are obviously going to create

Too many domain name investors are stuck with portfolios and have run out of cash and they cant find a domain name broker that will sell one or too domains in their portfolio even for $250 a domain just to put some liquidity in to portfolios etc

The ways of doing that is either by having the largest amount of brokers that are prepared to sell average domains for lower commission etc

Or like buying a car where a person can use a domain as part exchange or like the housebuyers where they can buy a persons house but at say 75% of market value

Or

And this option is really needed in the domain industry

Domain pawnbrokers

That can offer fast instant cash on any domain sameday

The liquidators

I think this is the thread you were looking for

thanks.not convinced yet. It's very similar but could have derived from someones own work. There are notable differences at first glance that give away it wasn't (100%) copy pasted.

I'm on mobile else I'd run it by my image recognition software.

If you take the exact stock logo or copy paste and run an image search then you would find it...but if you retrace that same stock logo or draw it again and run the search again you would never find it.

2. The first should be a namejet logo. Both are lackluster though.

I was more thinking of a N letter hanging from a noose

ollybod · Apr 2, 2020

Simplicity and ability to resonant defines best logo and I think the #1 has that two traits except that I don't personally like that font. But is simple and resonant.
#2 is quite busy for my liking..

Lets honour the heritage

. When I read NL all I think of is .nl :P

branding · Apr 2, 2020

seriously though...

First image is the stock. second NL. third the overlay. a near 100% match in terms of defining pointers and angles. Epic fail. I changed my vote.

logo 2

Rhinnnn · Apr 2, 2020

I voted for #1 because it looked more elegant. But yeah, it seems that the N is way too common. Truth be told, it's not easy to make an original N, as designers have been at this for ages.

Can I make a suggestion for a different logo approach, @Rob Monster ?

LOL.

Thanks for the creative inspiration!

For those not aware, NameDeck is Dutch, as am I.

The Dutch like to say things like:

"If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much".

OR

"God created earth but the Dutch created Holland".

I don't say such things personally but I know the mindset!

Number 1 is boring

Number 2 has better colors and is more lively.

I would pick Number 2 if the font was tweaked to a better font

I prefer clean slick logos. Obviously it always depends on your target audience.

If you want to get away from a single letter logo for fear of not being unique enough, then add a little line at the bottom to get a NL effect. (Obviously clean up and resize my edit a bit if you keep it)

That's a cool tweak of the idea. @DanSanchez as the PM and @Ala Dadan should take note.

jameandrew · Apr 3, 2020

my vote goes to no.1

Intelliname · Apr 3, 2020

My vote goes to Durfers.. that is an amazing NL combination and the colors are rocking.. Did you design that tonight?

I thought #2 was appealing for NameLiquidate because:

a) the colors looked similar to GoDaddy.. what better way to celebrate converting their expiry gobbling into something that would benefit domainers.. their loss would become the domain industry's gain.. so colors for transmutation of that energy and redirection were ironic.

b) the plumbing Rob mentioned was clever... the name effectively having the dropping line while the liquidate had the symbol for escalation or raising.

c) Durfer rocks.

I voted for number 1

korganian · Apr 3, 2020

awwalmb · Apr 3, 2020

I prefer logo 1 it's simple and clean. Logo 2 has a little too much going on. IMO

Abdullah Abdullah · Apr 3, 2020

I said none of the two. I believe better logo can be designed than these two.

Please help break the tie

Which logo do you prefer?

Logo #1

None of the above

Logo #2
