Please help break the tie

[Rob Monster]

Need a quick help.

We have an internal dispute at Epik about logo selection for NameLiquidate.com. The boys can't seem to work out amongst themselves and so I get to break the tie with a 24 hour poll. Thanks!

Candidate #1:

Candidate #2:

Sure thing! Happy to help.

In that case, why not gather everyone's input and preferences, and then set up a 24-hour poll to decide on the logo for NameLiquidate.com? This way, everyone gets a say, and the decision-making process becomes more inclusive. Good luck with the logo selection!

#1. I don't like the extended "m" in the second one.

Definitely avoid #1 as there are too many similar existing ones and one exactly the same on the net already...some examples from web below.

I prefer clean slick logos. Obviously it always depends on your target audience.

If you want to get away from a single letter logo for fear of not being unique enough, then add a little line at the bottom to get a NL effect. (Obviously clean up and resize my edit a bit if you keep it)

#1 without a doubt. Noticed you're already using it as a favicon . Maybe work a bit on the logotype but overall it does the job.

Anyone internally who picked 2 is probably a GoDaddy plant that is trying to sabotage your business from the inside, I'd keep a close eye on them.

I like #1, and voted that way, but I do prefer the colour of number 2.

 

[sharastar]

Liked and voted #1 looks very Elegant and good for a top brand.

The metaphor was pumping something from a low place and elevating to a higher place.

Good thinking and creativity but the m letter in #2 looks not soo good while the up arrow looks good and so do color combo for #2 looks awesome.

But #1 logo kills it.It shows quality,professional and great branding so I would go with #1.

I tend to agree there.

The metaphor was pumping something from a low place and elevating to a higher place.

I was watching several Epik execs -- whose opinions I value -- have a schism over this topic. I figured better to let the crowd decide. It is co-creation, plain and simple.

Actually, it was not scripted. Just FYI, this is how it went down:

Democracy at work.

Ultimately, it is a questions of Agree or Disagree but Commit. In this case, we had 2 folks with strong views and I just decided to consult the crowd. Glad I did since I was leaning towards #2.

Here's #1 in context:

If it is a stock logo as pointed out above. Back to the drawing board it is

2. The first should be a namejet logo. Both are lackluster though.

Lets honour the heritage . When I read NL all I think of is .nl :P

 

[branding]

seriously though...

First image is the stock. second NL. third the overlay. a near 100% match in terms of defining pointers and angles. Epic fail. I changed my vote.

LOL.

Thanks for the creative inspiration!

For those not aware, NameDeck is Dutch, as am I.

The Dutch like to say things like:

"If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much".

OR

"God created earth but the Dutch created Holland".



I don't say such things personally but I know the mindset!

#1 is ok, but boring, looks like a stock logo.
#2 is more interesting, has more personality.

I pick #2.

What companies? never heard of them

Stock logos, nothing special there..anyone can use them by purchasing the rights. Would have been better to make one from scratch, brainstorm ideas so that it's urs only. Not available to public.

Logo 1

 

[ollybod]

Simplicity and ability to resonant defines best logo and I think the #1 has that two traits except that I don't personally like that font. But is simple and resonant.
#2 is quite busy for my liking..

 

[awwalmb]

I prefer logo 1 it's simple and clean. Logo 2 has a little too much going on. IMO

 

[Abdullah Abdullah]

I said none of the two. I believe better logo can be designed than these two.
