REQ-LOGO Logo Great Seal Vector Art Needed, $50 QUICK PICK!

[Ben42]

Type of Contest : LOGO CONTEST

Business Name: Chicago Beach Glass

Business Type: Jewelry

Prize : $50.00 USD via PayPal

Contest End Date & Time : July 20th, 12:00PM (Noon) PST OR SOONER!

Size Requirements : Vector image

Color Requirements : Used on White Background, Thinking Black, Blue and Yellow, Red Stars (see example, but dont laugh too much)

General Requirements : Need a logo for a jewelry business that uses recycled glass found on the beach. We would like it in the style of a State Seal. It doesn't need to be overly detailed, but needs to get across the Chicago Skyline, Beach and the Lake. These items are recycled/upcycled so would like to get the idea across in the logo as well...maybe just the public domain recycle logo worked in. Chicago * Beach * Glass would go around the outside separated by 6 sided stars and the 4 red 6-sided stars of the Chicago Flag would go on the beach. The rest is up to you, but we really love Art Deco, older 1920s, 1930s feel!

My Entry

 

[Ben42]

These are really awesome Seals! Great work!

iamendro: I love the detail in your skyline, very Impressive! Is it possible to remove some separation so the city, beach and lake flow together?

Houssemneo: You really nailed the description, although the Chicago flag has six-sided stars.

NameFu: Please check requirements, thanks, but I do like "Ecologically Beautiful" tag line, but not for the seal.

oswin_mb: This design is leading, I love how it all flows together and the Deco lines behind the city!

Can we add www.ChicagoBeachGlass.com or As Found to the bottom of the seal separated by the stars as well (trying to think which would work better, maybe the domain in the water)? Also, to add a little perspective, for the stars on the beach can we add some perspective like they are laying on the beach? Just a thought.

Thanks again and everyone that submitted a design let me know your PP address. I'll make the final call by the end of tomorrow. (or maybe tonight, because these are really close!)

iamendro: Love the update! The banner is very cool, but we are losing the beach feel a bit. Is there a way to modify the banner so it remains a beach line? The yellow is generally symbolizes the color of the sand. Also, its important that only 4 red stars are side by side to emulate the Chicago flag. Perhaps another symbol for word separation? More blue/black than yellow. I do like how it is extending from the borders of the seal. Also, I like oswin_mb's thicker font.

Thanks again!

iamendro: The more Im looking at it...the more I like the banner as is! Can I see it with the outside border in Black or blue and the yellow stars separating the chicago beach glass in black or blue and the two red stars far left and far right deleted leaving only the 4 in the center?

Update. Added the URL, more breathing space and bolder colours.

 

[Ben42]

oswin_mb: That looks great and my wife is leaning towards your design!

iamendro: Love the banner bend, can you bring it in a little so the curves line up with the inside of the seal? Also, add curves to the bottom on the banner inside the seal likes waves on the beach? If possible for the Chicago Beach Glass stars see them with a red outline and white or blue center? See attached.

 

[iamendro]

How about this revision?

 

[Ben42]

iamendro: The time is past you win! Can you have the banner come in just a little more so it ends all the way inside the seal? I think it'll match up with the water a little better. Let me know your PP!
