[req-logo] Logo for "hacker convention" / computer security convention

Type of Contest : LOGO Design

Prize : $40.00 paypal - OR free admission to convention ($100 value)

Contest End Date & Time : October 19th @ 7PM Central Time

Size Requirements : big, and able to scale to any size. This will appear on the website and may also appear on t-shirts

Color Requirements : I'm open to colors. I like blues, browns, greens. This will be on a black background and the shirts will be black.

General Requirements :

This logo is for RootFest, my hacker / computer security convention. It was first held in 1999 and 2000, and is returning for 2012. It is held in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area and features speeches by prominent researchers in the computer security field, a hacking contest, and other events.

If you are not familiar with a computer security / hacker convention, please see DefCon (the premier hacker convention), LayerOne, or DerbyCon for ideas on the type of event this is.

I am open to logo ideas here. The logo should either say RootFest 2012 or RootFest 3. I would like a "hacker" style logo. Since this is a "resurrection" of my conference, possible theme ideas might be a phoenix rising from the ashes, or an undead theme, or a zombie theme. Feel free to use your imagination here. It would be a plus if the psd file kept all of the layers so I can easily separate the "RootFest 2012" text from the rest of it.

RootFest is a unique convention, and the logo must be unique as well. No stock art, and I don't want a reproduction of other conventions' artwork.

I will be participating throughout the contest to provide feedback.


Additional Information : Please note: I am not the only person choosing the winning logo, I may need up to 24 hours after the contest deadline to select a winner.

Also, if I receive some great logos, I might choose one for the website and one for the t-shirts. If this is the case, the 2nd prize will be $20 or free admission to the convention.

Thanks for the entry :)

This will go on a black background, I'm not sure how the black border will work with that.

Also the text should say "RootFest" instead of the leetspeak spelling.

Not a big fan of the circular graphic.

it's definitely hackerish, but not what I'm really picturing for the website.

I guess I'm either looking for something simple but hackerish like the LayerOne logo, or else a logo like the Derbycon logo with a simple "RootFest 2012" and a zombie/undead/phoenix graphic.



thanks for the entry :)

that's not bad. I like the colors in the logo. I don't really like the font, though.

Original size 1500x700


i didn't know what to wrote on the laptop screen so i wrote resurection....btw, i can change anything you wont....:)

Something like this, but in better quality can be used for t-shirts and stuff.......

Thanks for the entry :)

It's good, and I like what you did with the laptop, but it's just too busy looking. I'm looking for something simpler and cleaner looking.

Also the t-shirts will be black.

I really like that :) It's clean, and the colors work well.

Is the phoenix original art by you?

Is it vector? How big will it scale up? Also does the PSD file have separate layers?

Yea, I created the phoenix in illustrator myself. It's vector, so you can scale it as big as you need it. I can also get you a layered .PSD

Awesome :) I've tried your logo out on our beta website and I really like how it looks. Currently your logo is my favorite so far.



thanks for the revision :) The matrix style is a little dated I think, and we're looking for something a little more modern.

lothos.

Can you provide a screen shot of the Beta site, so we are not in the dark? Would certainly help in terms of designing a relevant logo :)

Thanks
Matt
