REQ-LOGO $125 Logo Contest! We May Choose 2 Winners

[DeluxeNames.com]

We've held 4 successful Logo contests and paid quickly.

This contest has 2 Logo options to choose from. The winner may choose the strategy of only submitting a very good Logo #1 OR a very good logo #2. Logo #1 & Logo #2 are the primary focus so, for example, if you choose to only submit one logo and win for Logo #2, we'll select a 2nd winner that made the best Logo #1 (hopefully one of the 2 winners will have submitted an entry for logo #3 which is the afterthought of this contest).

It's not against the rules to submit all 3 but doubtful anyone will.
Logo #3 Now Closed, Eric Won
Those that submit Logo #3 will have a shot at a consolation prize of $30 if your entry for logo #3 is chosen.

Prize: $125 USD Grand Prize paid via Paypal upon receipt of the winning files. We reserve the right to choose 2 winners in the case that two different Designers win separately for Logo #1 & Logo #2. Please see the detailed rules in the intro above.
Type of Contest: 3 Logos to choose from. Please see the detailed rules in the intro above.
Company Name: HostHeroes.com, Connecticut Western, & Panther
Deadline: 12/27/20 at 11:59pm. We reserve the right to end this contest early if an incredible entry comes in.
Color: Open to various color schemes but the male superhero should include a shade of red in the costume. The female superhero may use any color scheme.
Size Requirements: .psd / Vector / PNG. The winner will need to provide the layered logo image on a transparent background.
Number of Entries: If interested in participating, you may submit as many entries as you desire.

1) Logo #1 - HostHeroes.com -
Suggested Format:
(Superhero drawing)
HostHeroes.com
Heroic Support

A webhosting company to use a superhero logo with a Caucasian male hero (please use some red in his costume) and an African American female hero pictured together to be placed at HostHeroes.com. Or use a helmet & full body suit to make their race unknown.
Please include this tagline on your logo (perhaps below?):
"Heroic Support"

The goal for this site would be that it would eventually be as amazing as this one: https://monster-tamer.com/ (If you know how to build a site as cool as that one using WordPress, please private message your price & details.)

To get your creative juices flowing, I saved my favorite original superheroes to this Pinterest Board: https://www.pinterest.com/timothybjones90/original-superheroes/

(Please notice that the male & female pictured together below is poor quality art but included below to show that we desire to have a male and female superhero pictured together.)

2) Logo #2 - Connecticut Western News -
Suggested Format:
(Logo art incorporated with/beside name?)
Connecticut Western News
CTWest.com Northwest Corner

(Online Newspaper) to be placed at: http://ctwest.com/
Please include this tagline on your logo (perhaps below?):
"CTWest.com Northwest Corner"

The winner of this logo will use web 2.0 format (the other 2 logos do not need to be in web 2.0). One option is to play into the "Country Western" theme to make the word "Western" fun? Open to your idea to make this logo special. This news site will cover the Northwest Corner of Connecticut - sparsely populated with rolling hills, trees & rivers. Very pastoral. The current logo & name will be replaced by yours.

Here are two Newspaper logos I like. The brown color is bad but this logo is visually striking:

I like this 2nd logo for its great use of web 2.0 & nice Color contrast:

This is my favorite from you Bing Bang. Can you give me a little more on this one? Throw in the Beckely Furnace, a few hills and a river?

Thank you for your feedback!

Here is my revision:

Feedback appreciated, thank you!

 

[fihri]

Thank you for your feedback!
here another one:

 

[DeluxeNames.com]

Thanks Fihri & happy holidays!

This is an improvement upon your last one. I need more of something, maybe more colors? Maybe add a river between your hills or something else?

Not sure what's needed, the Logo #2 contest is giving me trouble.

Thank you for your feedback!
here another one:Show attachment 177174

Dear Bing Bang,

Happy Holidays!

You did well at the mountains & River Bing Bang. This version puts you in the top 2 contenders against Eric's Logo #2.

Thank you for your feedback!

Here is my revision:

Feedback appreciated, thank you!

Dear Eric,

Happy Holidays!

You're non-cowboy version is one of the two contenders right now, a tie between you and Bing Bang for first.

The one below is not as good as your non-cowboy one.

#2 - Different western direction

This is another type of logos

 

[DeluxeNames.com]

Thank you Fihri. I don't love it but also don't dislike it. I appreciate that you tried something new.
Feedback:
1) The round logo is creative but doesn't work for this project.
2) I'm kind if looking for a very professional logo that carries the legitimacy to convey that this news site is important. Please notice what I attached below to see an example of a header that carries the weight of a professional news header. People see that and take that news seriously.

This is another type of logosShow attachment 177315

As a reminder, this contest closes Tonight (Sunday) at midnight. Logo Contests #1 & #2 are open for contestants.

Logo contest #2 is wide-open with no logos that I love. I'm looking for a very professional Logo #2 that conveys that this news site is professional and legitimate. Sort of like what you see attached below.

If you make a detailed Superhero Logo #1, you have a chance to win this .

You don't have to make both logos, just make either Logo #2 or Logo #1

Good luck!

Another try for #2:

 

[DianaGyms]

Thank you Diana, getting closer.

Please compare the level of detail of the Superheros I have linked here with yours:
https://www.pinterest.com/timothybjones90/original-superheroes/

We're looking for fully detailed superheros ready to star in their own comic strip. They will literally star in their own 3 panel rotating comic strip at the top of our site. We need them bigger and fully detailed because these aren't just logos, these are fully detailed Superheros.

The girl is close but needs more details. Best to remove the male's face and start again. His ears look like they stick out and his nose looks too large for his face.

Thanks for the progress you made.

Added some more details and re-did the male's face.

 

[DeluxeNames.com]

Diana,

This is your best work yet. Please don't forget the small sideways, ".com" which was your good idea.

You have good detail here. I'm pulling in my wife to judge as this contest is getting close.

Added some more details and re-did the male's face.

 

[fihri]

so that's my last try.
I think you want something simple and strong.
I

hope you like it.

If you're thinking of joining the Logo #1 Superheroes last minute (or for someone already entered) here's an idea so you can finish quickly by midnight.

Please make a male & female version of Yves Rossy with full helmets to cover their entire face. Instead of Rossy's white helmet, please make a more futuristic red helmet:
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/yves-rossy-jet-pack-man-fly

Maybe the female could use more black in her jet wing costume design as compared to Yves Rossy's costume which uses more red in his costume.

Are there any real life female jet backers out there?

 

[DianaGyms]

 

[DeluxeNames.com]

You're on the right track Fihri, but I can tell you that it needs more detail. Eric & Bing Bang's designs are still tied for first.

so that's my last try.
I think you want something simple and strong.
IShow attachment 177375 hope you like it.

Great work Diana, this is your best work so far and you now have a great chance in this contest.

Please stick with your last edition on the bottom. Good work making his helmet red.

can you please give the lady a white helmet and make his helmet slightly more futuristic somehow? Perhaps more similar to the helmet in Halo game?
Please make the underside of her jet wings white and add some line details to the underside like you see on Yves Rossy's wings.

This contest has ended & congratulations to Eric for winning our Grand Prize of $125! We're offering an additional unannounced Bonus prize to Diana of $75 if she accepts for her entry & for new work.

You'll remember that Eric had already won $30 for Logo #3 (Panther) last week making his total winnings for both contests $155!
Eric's Prize winnings have been paid via PayPal.

My wife broke the tie between Eric's Logo #2 & Bing Bang's logo #2 by siding with Eric.

Logo contest #1 came down to a tie between Eric's & Diana's entry which was decided by my wife for Eric.

HOWEVER, I liked Diana's final Jetpack entry so much, if she agrees, I want to pay her $50 to use her final entry on an alternative site (DeluxeHost.com) and $25 in new work for a new logo for a total of $75 now.

Congratulations Eric & Diana!
Eric, I know your PayPal and will send $125 now to you. If you would be so kind as to send the files of all 3 logos you made to this email: [email protected]
