$60 logo contest for www.totallyskint.co.uk

Hi, We're looking for a new logo for www.totallyskint.co.uk - money saving website. We would prefer it to be in vector format so that it can be enlarged and scaled as required to suite different areas of our forthcoming site.

Thank you in advance.

Jon

UPDATE: THE PRIZE FUND HAS BEEN INCREASED TO $60
COMPETITION CLOSES ON THURSDAY 7th SEPT AT 5pm (GMT - London Time)

Hi. Do have a color scheme or ideas for what you want on you logo? Do you want to stick with the piggy bank theme?

Thanks,
Jackie

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments/entry..

Josephine - I like your work, not exactly what I had in mind but its a good start. I like the orange in the title, but not too sure about the font/piggy bank though.

The current logo is one I whipped up myself - not really keen on it - hence the redesign.

I really am open to ideas on the exact colours/imagery used in the design - go wild!

We're also well aware that the translation of the site name does get lost outside of the UK - for those who don't know 'skint' means to be 'broke' or 'to have no money' e.g. 'I can't go out tonight I'm skint' - so the idea of the site is to offer money saving hints and tips along with special offers.. The logo design should reflect this, hence the piggy bank idea! Maybe a smashed piggy bank with a 1pence peice falling out of it would reflect this concept well - although I can't be sure until I've seen it.

Appreciating your efforts so far though.

Keep up the good work,

Jon

ps. will try and provide feedback to as many people as possible.

Please just give me a shout if you've got any more questions about our requirements.... cheers

Hi all,

Thanks again for the replies..

So far Jaynesh is the closest to what we're after - although I don't like the font at all but the 'prohibited sign' through the dollar is pretty good. The ONLY thing is, and I'm sorry I should have said this earlier, being in the UK we're working in POUNDS not dollars (so we need to be using the £ sign)...

I like the clean font used in jackieh1791 design but again we need to be using the £ sign..

Keep up the good work - there's obviously quite a few talented individuals around this forum.

Thanks,

Jon

But you can do so much more stuff with the dollar sign :P

I'll experiment with the fonts, and change it to pounds :)

A little change with the font and the sign.

Haha Jaynesh - you have a very good point there, the dollar sign just doesn't work for our target market! People see $$ and run a mile because they think it's an American site.. The £ sign has some flexibility though!! Good luck

I edited my post with a change of font and added the £ side. :)
would like the feedback

That was quick! Good work.

I'm still not sure about the font and thing that the £ sign could look a little more funky aswell.. The font is too curvey, it doesn't have to be a plain edged (I think you call it Sans Serif) font but nothing that could be too difficult to read.

By the way totally is one 't' after the 'o' not 2.

Hope I'm not being too critical, it's getting closer to what we're after.

cheers,


In summary - font a bit plainer. £ sign funkier... Feel free to use your creative instinct though.

I'm not sure if it should have some kind of background or frame to the logo? See what you can do.

Thank you.

With a box,

I only applied the box to one of the logos because i am multitasking right now :p

But it can be applied to the others aswell.

Hmm, let me have a think about that one... Keep up the multitasking!

Well done Jaynesh, I'm definitely preferring that style of box. Although I don't like the shading on the main logo text- I think that this part must be bold and solid in colour...

Keep up the good work but keep the ideas flowing..

cheers

Hi guetizo


I like your thinking with that one... Although I'm not sure about the £ popping out of the wallet.. The idea is people are skint so it would be good if the £ was almost flopping out of the wallet in a dead like manner.

Remember it's just one 't' in totally aswell!

Do you think you could revise that slightly to be more of a flop? Liking the wallet/purse idea though...

great stuff sk8r_rob - post a message as soon as you've got it ready..

By the way guys it's Friday night here so I'm going to be away from my desk now until tomorrow morning, so don't be put off if you don't get my feedback straight away, I'll add some comments as soon as I'm back..

Some good concepts so far. Keep it up!

cheers,
