25$ NHL forum Logo Contest

[aboujouj83]

Hi Designers,

I've just finished building a hockey forum at www.qnhl.com. I created a quick logo for it but I would like to have a better quality one. I need something that follows the ideas below:

1) qnhl.com stands for quality NHL forum. You can see that on my current logo. So I'd like to have a quality picture (a save by a goalie, a nice shot ... ) as a logo, and I would like to have the slogan ("A Quality NHL Forum") in a smaller but readable font, with the "Q" of Quality, "NHL" and the ".COM" in a different color so you see the domain name QNHL.com in the slogan.

2) I'd like to have it matched with the red/blue colors of the current forum.

3) I'd like it to place the logo once it's done on the left side of the header of the page, so I can place an adsense on the right. You can look at www.football365.fr , http://hfboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86, www.maxifoot.fr, www.namepros.com as examples. So design the logo knowing that it won't occupy more than 20-30% of the left part of the header.

4) Be creative!!

5) The contest ends on August 2nd (Tuesday) at 5pm EST.

5) I'd pay 25$ US via PayPal to the winner directly after the contest ends i.e. around 6pm, August 2nd.

6) The final winner has to give me a .gif or .jpg with an editable vector format

I uploaded some quality pictures that you can use or use as an idea:

I am waiting for your logos, and I will give you feedback as often as possible.

I like the concept but I think the font can be made better. I also don't like much the Q (in black and red) because of its color and may be of its font. I also find that the picture has to be made smaller. But overall, I like it.

[krishm]

i am on it... will show you logo asap..

 

[aboujouj83]

I am happy that many NPers are working on it. I knew many love hockey as I do.

So here are my comments:

-vip-ip: they are good quality logos but don't follow the requirements I asked for. I don't see any good quality picture, and I don't see the slogan anywhere.

-Rayzan: the logo is too simple, I need something that shows the "quality" term in my forum slogan.

-PolurNet: I like your goalie save picture a lot, but you have to work on the font colors and its integration in the logo.

Aboujouj83

Here you go, didn't turn out as well as I hoped but I think it's simplicity is good. I tired to make it fit in with the rest of the forum

Any suggestions?

EDIT: If need be, Ill re-size it for you so it fits whatever dimensions you want.

 

[Devery]

Hey, i've just made the logo for now and if i could get some feedback and your thoughts on it then i will include a picture.

Hope you like it. Its Vector so it can be resized etc without loss of quality.

Feedback Would Be Much Appreciated.

Stay Lucid,

[aboujouj83]

Sheldchenko and One Armc Scissor:
They are good logos, but I expect something else. Please read the requirements again.

Thanks,
Aboujouj83

 

[krishm]

any feedback for my logo....????

 

[aboujouj83]

My feedback for krishm who PMed his design is:

I like it but the colors of the fonts/size should be improved. But I can see that you are following the requirements well, and that counts a lot.
Note that the name of the forum is QNHL.com instead of Q-NHL.com
