REQ-LOGO Logo for domain portfolio site - $50

[svede]

I have attached a file with the business name for reference. Please do not include the business in text format as I do not want it to be Google indexed.

Type of Contest : Logo Design

Prize : $50

Contest End Date & Time : Saturday, July 30, 2016 @ 8:00 PM EST

Size Requirements :
The logo will be used for various and diverse media including, but not limited to, website, business cards, letter heads, t-shirt/clothing, banners, etc. It needs to be high resolution and have a vector version included along side a JPG/PNG version.

Color Requirements :
The website is currently using "Dark Red" (#8B0000), but that is not a requirement. I would rather the logo be colored the best and need to change the rest of the site to match. My favorite color is red, but by no means is that a requirement or restriction - you do not have a higher chance or winning because of that, so pick what you think looks best. Please also ignore the colors in the attached image as that was just me toying around with ideas.

Also: Need any "whitespace" to be transparent.

General Requirements :
See size & color requirements.

The logo needs to include the name of the company. Please do not include ".com" or anything like that.

I would like to somehow include the "brick" element (not restricted to attached example, any form of "brick" element), but I am open to ANYTHING, so be creative and don't limit yourselves. Also, please don't view the attachment as a guideline or restriction/limitation, but merely as an inspiration. I am not even remotely an expert in design and was just toying around with ideas.

I would like it to look professional as the audience will be largely businesses, startups, developers, entrepreneurs, etc. However, I would still like it to have a bit of a web 2.0/3.0 flare to it.

In general, I am looking to designers for their expertise and creativity and want to limit my restrictions on that.

Additional Information :
The name of the company is included in the attached picture. Please do not include the company name in text form in this thread as I do not want it to be Google Indexed.

Hi! @svede. Here is my design idea with "B" being the initial of both "Brand" and "Brick" so used B with a brick like structure. Hope you like it. Feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to give feedback. I have been watching this thread and trying to determine how to phrase my thoughts... most of these feel like they are missing the target for me, but some great creativity all around, so that is appreciated..

A major feedback for everyone might be that I didn't really care for the brickwall texture in general... doesn't mean I might not like it, but so far most of the time it hasn't felt right to me. Also, if the brick element could be used as a sort of icon type element, that might fit more with what I was thinking..... whether a stack of bricks, brick-inspired element/design, LEGO style brick, etc.... Also, I wasn't too crazy about the icon-style brick element being focused on the letter B.. At the bottom I included links to some ideas to keep the creativity going (not looking for these to be copied though)..


@Dominium I didn't care for the b with the brick wall texture or the color scheme...

@Tarcea Not really feeling the LEGO brick bumps in the B for the brick connection and beyond that it felt like basic text...

@bingbang The creativity of this design really struck me.. Like a lot about it... biggest concern was for potential readability... Also, I would like some way to use part of it as a icon style logo... if I use the DB in the middle, it doesn't really connect to the brand name initials (BB).. Would love to see some variations..

@bashariqbal Something about this design I really liked. Despite the text being simple, I liked how it read, especially with the slight two-tone effect. Really not digging the B with the brick wall texture though... would love to see some alternate icon-style objects as mentioned at the beginning of this post...

@DesignPros Creative and nice design, but not quite feeling it. The font is almost there, but too curved/pointed for a brick-themed name for me (sorry for the lack of correct technical terminology).. Also, altho it does work as a symbol/icon, I'd like something else rather than the back to back B's... something with a bit more of brick connection perhaps..

@Iulian M I like some stuff about this a lot, but not quite digging the brick wall texture and would like something more than a B as the icon element..

@Softcreation Some cool creative stuff going on, but im not crazing for the jam packed, outlined style logo... i like where these are going though..

@iulia87 I like the simplicity of this, but don't really like the use of the negative space forming the brick word..

@mayazir A lot of great creativity and effort going on here, but there is something missing for me. I don't care for the two tone red (red/gray and red/ blue was better) and I didn't like the font so much... looked to much like it "Fast/moving" or almost italicized at quick glance... hard to explain, but that detracted a lot from some great ideas...

@NameFu I got to hand it to you for getting a lot of the elements in my head onto paper. I really thought the font choice and color palette to be very elegant and professional, but still modern and web-style.... I'd really like to see it with a different "icon-style" object... maybe a stack of bricks, brick-inspired design, or a LEGO style brick or something.... not sure what, but didn't quite like the angled brick wall part..

@t.A.T.u Creative design, but the first three didn't quite strike me as a logo for a professional brand/domain site. Feels more like a playful site to me. The last three were a bit better, but like with others, I wasn't quite feeling the brick wall texture...

@svede,
So you want it in just 1 color?
You mean a LEGO brick or any brick?
You need ICON + name or the name could be the part of the logo?
The logo must have icon?

It doesn't need to be just one color - in fact I like the two color version the most. But the two tone red didn't do it for me. Also, the LEGO brick is only one example. It doesn't need to be a LEGO brick - I was just trying to give ideas. As for the icon aspect, I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology. I'd like some part/element of the logo to be used as an icon. I sorta thing the element beyond the text would look good in that regard. I guess the real requirement is more to the point that I want more than just text - what that beyond is, is up to the designer, but I gave examples of stuff that I've seen.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!
