~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,

This time I need a logo for an upcoming site. The domain name is ZoneScripts.com.
The site will provide domain-related services, DNS, name monitoring, backorders, name intelligence and data mining etc. A bit like domaintools but different services.

Size Requirements (roughly):
height. 100px
width. 250px

Deliverable: logo in GIF/PNG format + raw source files (photoshop / coreldraw etc)

Color Requirements:
red, black, white (at least 2 of these 3 colors should be used)


Design guidelines

I am looking for a logo similar to domaintools.com (but not too similar of course).
The official domaintools logo is:

To give you an example of what I like:

I like the modern style of the first image

Also from same thread:

This is another good design that I like

Other similar domaintools logos that I like:

Taken from their contest page: http://www.domaintools.com/logo-contest/

Addtional guidelines: 'zone scripts' should be embedded in text within the logo (in 2 words it's OK).
To give you an idea the following objects could also be embedded in the design: a web, a spider, a magnifier.

Remember that I will require the raw source files of your work (Photoshop or other).

Questions or need clarifications feel free to post or PM.
As usual don't forget to watermark your work.

Thanks and good luck to all

Kate

My concept..

Feedback appreciated.

i_luv_pitza:
thank you it is a nice start
I like it. Do not have any particular remarks right now.

discented:
my remarks are as follows: colors are OK but should be smoother and crispier. Logo should not look too cartoon-like.
Also I would prefer to have text on a straight (not curved) baseline and a more legible font

 

[Stumikaz]

Anything like this ?

Here is my go at it:

 

[Tieskevo]

tried a new style for this one..

 

[gio~logist]

Here you go. Quality will be better if picked ofcourse.

 

[umxca]

hi here's an idea....thx

 

[AdrianMatte]

Here is my try. I went with the magnifyer. Simple, slick, modern, professional. Memorable. Feedback appreciated.

 

[Abu Gabby]

That font is awesome Adrian Matte! Would you mind letting me know what font that is? I would like to use it on a personal site of mine. Very nice logo.

 

[discented]

Hope this is more to your liking.

 

[Tieskevo]

my entry is on the way.

Stumikaz: design is too black and I don't really like the image on the left
Abu Gabby: good sample, nice font, good colors. It's a nice logo.
Tieskevo: 2nd sample is much better but would look better with a different font (more defined lines like Arial, this one looks close to Times)
gio~logist: font OK, however I don't really like the S & Z on the left
umxca: good font, but the 'plate' on top is so-so though
AdrianMatte: good design, perhaps the font is just too rounded

 

[dvirhazout]

here's is my entry:

feedback please , thanks

 

[gio~logist]

How about something like a custom shape to better represent your site? Something like this:

Hi, here is my design. Used red, black and white as requested and created a graphic using the Z and S making them into a cuboid type shape. Hope you like it. As always, feedback much appreciated, thanks...
