REQ-LOGO $70 for an app icon/logo

[neroux]

Type of Contest: App Logo/Icon Contest


Prize: USD 10 + USD 60 bonus via Paypal


Contest End Date & Time: October 20 at 00:00 GMT


Size Requirements: Vector (scalability is a requirement)


Color Requirements: No particular requirements at this point, though keep it within reasonable limits. Nothing too playful.


General Requirements: This contest is for an app icon for an RSS reader application.

The name will reference a "dovecote" or "carriere-pigeon loft", so a suggested theme could (not required, by any means) incorporate a stylised dovecote or also the typical RSS logo (emphasis on incorporate here, the logo should not be just the Nth version of the RSS logo).

Again, that is just a possible suggestion, no requirement, please let your creativity roam freely. What's important is that it incorporates the meaning of news/RSS in one way or another. That can be via mentioned suggestions or something completely different.

The icon/logo should follow a somewhat modern style and not be too playful. Again, creativity is more than welcome, please just keep in mind the primary use will be as an app icon, so it should definitely be suitable for that and should follow also Apple's and Google's guidelines.


Additional Information: This generally is a $70 contest. The $10/$60 split is due to the rule that I have to choose a winner even if no entry is to my liking. In that case the closest entry will be selected and the fixed amount of $10 paid and we share the rights to the art work 50/50 and agree that neither of us is using it further. The overall compensation is budgeted with $70 however, so if an entry is submitted which I intend to use please be assured the $70 will be paid in full.

Also, the icon reminded me of rooster.

Its father was a rooster

@logoexpert, not bad though a bit generic to be honest (could be stock images too). Could you refine them a bit and add a bit more character?

The winner is @Azur with the entry #51 and the artwork will be used, so the full payout of USD 70 will apply.

Once more I'd like to thank every single participant of this contest, there have been fantastic entries and very nice revisions. The overall decision has been a rather tough call, which is also why it took longer.

I'll be in contact with @Azur and will post regular updates on the transaction status until everything has been finalised and delivered and paid.

File verified and payment sent.

Payment received, thank you.

Thanks, I like the combination of the RSS symbol with the letter, however the name is not "dovecote" and that would be also difficult to use as an icon.

I have to stress that part again

Again, creativity is more than welcome, please just keep in mind the primary use will be as an app icon, so it should definitely be suitable for that and should follow also Apple's and Google's guidelines.

I don't mind something of a traditional logo, but it definitely has to fit into a rectangular shape as well.

Thanks for the revision, though that's really rather a variation of the RSS symbol, particularly because the E is in no context.

 

[kraman.157]

thanks for the feedback.
Here I have attached a new line of design.

Thanks, that is getting closer to an icon, but I am not sure about the bird concept to be honest. It is rather similar to Twitter (don't want a trademark violation in that context) and I am not sure if we should focus so much on "a bird".

As I mentioned, the stylised dovecote is only a possible idea not a hard requirement. Essentially the icon should communicate that it is about a news/RSS hub and in this context an allusion to the name is a possibility.
