Logo for Legal Site $25.00

[avi2l]

This contest is over, we have a winner. thanks for everyone's participation.


Type of Contest: Logo
Prize: $25.00
Contest End Date: August 13 12:00pm PST
Size Requirements: Logo can be whatever size, however, winning designer should be able to place the logo in a header/banner that is 750 x 84 pixels.
Colors: The site is an immigration legal site, so the colors should go along the red, white and blue theme that you will see at the site.

General Information: The site is an immigration legal site. The site is usacitizenships.com, you can see my poor photoshop work there. The site is up, but needs some major touching up. I think it's alright considering I'm a lawyer and not a designer.... Anyways, the logo should be conservative, but also promote the big company feel. I was thinking of maybe abandoning the flag that is on every immigration site and going with a star. As you can see the header is wide and not so tall, so I am open to the creative use of space. After completion, I will work out something with winning designer to make additional advertisement banner for this site.

Additional Info:I would also like to have the slogun "Open the Door to Freedom" on there somewhere, though I would also like an end product without the slogun.

Payment: will be through paypal once winner is declared....

Feel free to ask any other questions, since I don't really know how to explain design....

my try, slogan can be added

Great work guys, I don't know the rules, but I was hoping to give some feedback once I saw a little more variety. I don't want to influence any future contestants in a way.

So far I like the different looks, I would like to stay away from the little people in J-Man and XCore's tries...

 

[simplyg123]

removed.....

OK, I'm gonna chime in for some direction. Right now I'm liking the style of Logo that Tanz.oma has going except for the right side with the domain again and the slogan. I want some texture and depth in the characters, something that looks more finished.

I also like XCores concept, minus the little people, but I would like to see some creativity with the characters. The site has to be conservative by nature for being a legal site. So the only way to add personality is in the little things like the logo.

RetzSEO, I like the simplicity and the style with the character. The only thing is that, I'm not sure what the character is doing, though I wouldn't mind an explanation. And I want to as said above, add some uuuumph ...

As for those who have not submitted yet, don't read any of the above for guidance, I still am looking for some fresh ideas....

thanks guys, this is starting to get good.

Here's my entry, feedback appreciated

 

[tanz.oma]

Okay, I'll work on improvements.

Edit:
The previous work I did was a bit sloppy.

Here's the revised logo.

I'll update when I'm done with the banner.

Update:

I'm sticking to the black colour because, I feel, it gives the corporate look.

 

[retzseo]

it's a man depicts freedom and symbolizes by the liberty's torch (an abstract)

 

[avi2l]

thanks retzseo. I didn't make the connection with the torch. Very nice touch, I should have figured that out.

OK, This weekend has been impressive. I must admit, J-Man might have gotten most improved, great way to follow my recommendations.... And great use of the whole space.

Flying Dutchmand, Umxca and Kirby, I like the designs, very clean.

I still like Tanz style of logo, and love Retzseo's abstract drawing. And I love the late comer ZeniusIVanisher logo.

One question I have for ZeniusIVanisher, I know the size of the banner is difficult to work with, but as a designer, what would you do with the logo, push it to the left and leave the space to the right blank? Or do you have any ideas of how to fill it in?

Ayways, tomorrow is decision day, and I'm torn between the designs.

On another note, why did some contestants remove their designs? There was one that I was considering that was removed.

 

[simplyg123]

not sure if you were referring to my design, i removed mine because i didn't really like, it, and you didn't leave feed back for it so i thought you didn't either, but here it is again
