Hey 95 Designs interesting entry

Hi TheGhost,

Here are some of my first attempts.

Looks good EmanEvan keep them coming

 

[95 Designs]

Yeah I was going after the actual logo look, not just slapping some text, a custom shape tool icon and a black line..

95 Designs

Is this logo going to be used for print?
------------------------------------

A logotype, commonly known as a logo, is the graphic element of a trademark or brand, which is set in a special typeface/font, or arranged in a particular, but legible, way. The shape, color, typeface, etc. should be distinctly different from others in a similar market.

Logo design is commonly believed to be one of the most difficult areas in graphic design. It's not just an image, it is the face of an organization, which is the visual representation of a brand. For brand continuity, and because of the expense involved in changing it, a "good" logo is expected not to be too trendy, but ideally last many years before needing a redesign.

A "good" logo;

is distinctive, and is not subject to confusion with another logo among customers
is clearly and instantly recognisable, in different contexts, for example
when presentedd in a small size, at a low resolution or at a distance
in full-color, but also in black&white, black&white and one spot color, or halftone.
presented on backgrounds of different color and texture
printed on products (where the shape of the product may warp the logo's shapes)
usually includes a brand name
evokes an emotional response
associates the brand with positive qualities, in line with the target audience's needs

When designing (or commisioning) a logo, practices to encourage are;

use few colors, limit colors used to spot colors
avoid gradients as a distinguishing feature
produce alternatives for different contexts
design using vector graphics, so the logo can be resized without loss of fidelity
include guidelines on the position on the page and white space around the logo for consistent application
do not use a specific choice of third-party font or clip-art as a distinguishing feature
do not use the face of a (living) human being
avoid culturally sensitive imagery, such as religious icons or national flags, unless the brand is commited to being associated with any and all connotations such imagery may evoke.


In general there are five types of logos:

Text plus Image (Iconic Logo / Combination logo)
Only Text (Wordmark Logo)
Abbreviation plus Image (Iconic Logo / Combination logo)
Only Abbreviation (Lettermark Logo)
Only Image (Graphic Logo / Symbol Logo / Brandmark Symbol)






^^^ You may want to read this over..

And what type of logo are you looking for? So I know what to work with.

 

[TheGhost]

95 Designs YES the logo will be used for everything!

As you posted, and I totally agree with you. it will be used to create the face of our organization and in short yes our branding.

And because I do know it is extremely important I decided to bring the task to this board and wait and see what you guys and gals can come up with.

Like i said in my first post i know you guys have always put out some awesome and creative work.

 

[95 Designs]

Ok just making sure.. No offense Eman, but you shouldn't use gradients and mirror effects for a logo, cause its not simple to print that on a t-shirt or anything else.

[95 Designs]

Ha, heres something I did while messing with Flash

 

[l0zo]

Here you go mate, hope it's what your looking for

 

[Sylense]

here is an entry...i didnt want to go with the obvious play of putting a phone in the design because its pretty cliche so i just kind of used references to the phone in general.

 

[gio~logist]

Lol i'm loking all of these. They're all fun and well done. Good job people.

 

[TheGhost]

LOL very creative man but not what im leaning towards.



I must say you all have done some GREAT work! Any of the logos you all have done could and would work.

Keep up the good work guys picking a winner among such great talent is not going to be a easy task.

So far I like the direction of l0zo including the slogan (Hook it up) and
95 Designs entry #1

Also sylense entry was interesting... I liked the way he turned the k in hookups into a antena but didnt like the celly part.

Guys lets use the slogan HOOK IT UP!
and keep up the GREAT WORK!

It doesn't get any more creative.
