I've updated the contest, clipart is allowed if you can prove there are no copyright issues involved. A link to the free stock image site would suffice for that.

Looking forward to the entries, I've seen some very nice work on here.

Just for your reference, both free & paid stock/clipart licenses normally state that NONE can be used in a logo / trademark. Check some of the licenses below.

That's just a few of them, all the sites have a license / user policy similar to those though. It's probably best to avoid stock & not take the chance of getting sued later if & when your business becomes successful.

Ultimately though, it's your business & your call, so good luck. I can only hope that my references help shed a little light onto the laws & policy's of clipart / stock that millions download & use every day, thus removing any uniqueness from them all together.

Thanks for the post. I'm well aware of the copyright and trademark issues and that's why I made the point in my original post. If someone would like to use a drawing of a beaker that is public domain and they can prove it, that's fine with me. I still very much prefer original work.

Sorry :P as you can see by the ridiculous size of my design (my bad) it is fully vector :D

 

[Sammyloski]

What is the company about?

 

[Jojomojoe]

Just so you can see it in a nicer size

thanks for the submission. I like the blue color you used. Looking for something that's wider than it is tall, around 700 pixels wide by 300 tall would be a rough idea.

Still very simple, again, name the improvements

that's better, I would probably prefer one of the beakers that's wide at the bottom and skinnier at the top. The font could use a little styling. Thanks for the submission.

I'll jazz the font up a bit, but I'm unsure when you mean about the beakers, thanks for the feedback though:tu:

 

[Jojomojoe]

Just a quick font change

here's an idea...thx

 

[lothos]

thanks for the submission. I really like the test tube and the blue color, looking for a little more style on the font/words

here's an idea...thx

Thanks for the submission umxca. I really like the text on this one, like the colors you've used. Not sure I like the round bottom on the beaker though.


I have a feeling it's going to be hard to choose a winner :D

[lothos]

Very nice, I'm having trouble thinking of something to change.

here is my firs entry ^^

feedback please ^^

Thanks for the entry. That's the kind of beaker I was thinking of. Colors are a little dull, looking for something a little brighter.
