Aethix LLC is a startup software consulting and game development business that's looking for a unique logo that represents a Phoenix:

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology))

We are looking for a simple, modern, clean and professional vector based representation of a Phoenix, or any other original symbols/creatures you may develop. We particularily like the concept of the Phoenix and how it rises from the ashes; however, we are open to all ideas.

Feel free to submit just a logo design, or include our name in the design
("Aethix","Aethix Studios","aethix_dot_com"); however, we would prefer
you to focus solely on a high quality symbol itself with a name as an
optional factor.

We particularly like the design of this example logo from the company
"DevFly":

We like the simple, yet creative design of the fly and how it is intertwined within the other shape.

Thank you for your time, we look forward to your entries.

Everything you need, I hope, is right here. Vector, .PSD, works well on any background. All fonts included.

Hey, thanks for entering! Its a good concept

Is the Phoenix a unique design made from scratch or stock photography/images?

I like the shape of the Phoenix and its a nice start; however, tbh it looks like a cross between a Phoenix and the Welsh dragon. We are looking for a more simplistic/clean looking design like the one used in the DevFly example.

Also we are just looking for a cool symbol really, so you could play around with other ideas?

A good start anyway :tu:

 

[9Design]

The Phoenix is original . I am not sure how you want it morphed more, I could take off the arms so it looks more sleek.

Okay, just checking

Perhaps you could try infusing it within a shape or something, again like the one in the DevFly example.

Maybe try making the Phoenix white and then putting it on a dark background, just to make it look more clean, thats probably what we will do with the final logo anyway.

Thanks.

A very creative idea, I will do that later, unless you want to declare me the winner and let me mould it for you =P

Notice to Everyone

We thought of the Phoenix idea as we liked the concept of "rising from the ashes" and thought it might look cool in a logo; however, can I make it clear that the Phoenix is NOT compulsory so please feel free to play around with other ideas you feel may fit in well, as you know we are looking for something which is clean, professional but also something which is cool to look at and recognizable.

Sorry we don't have many other examples of logos we like, but we do really like the DevFly logo (see top post) and that sort of clean, simplistic but interesting type of logo design.

Hi, here is my design, available in illustrator format, full vector. Kept design simple yet effective, hope you like it. As always, feedback is much appreciated, thanks...

... and again using a different font ...

Thats a really good concept

I like the how the wings are infused with the star and the colors you have used are nice and professional.

Perhaps you could play around using different shapes to attach wings to? The star is very good as I mentioned, but perhaps you could try creating a more unique shape or symbol for the wings to attach to as the star is quite a common and mass used symbol.

Don't worry too much about the text right now.

Thank you.

alright, here it is. And a plastic-y web 2.0 one...

Ok, updating and refining phoenix.

Hey USMC!

Thanks for your entry... looks like Scott hasn't gotten around to check this thread tonight.

I have to say it's a nice concept, and I personally like how you did the text. The only thing I noticed, was the "Phoenix" symbol looks a bit familiar to the one used by the "Phoenix Players" organization. It's a nice logo, and I like it, but unfortunately we are looking for something original/unique, and that one appears to have already been used.

 

[USMC_1833]

no worries, ill do another phoenix and get it back up there!

 

[ethayne]

ethayne

Thanks for your entry

The first concept is good, perhaps you could try moving around the various shapes which make up the fire/phoenix-type shape and see what else you can come up with?

I like the second logo the best, the fire type symbol is really nice, but i'm not really sure the little swirl/squiggle to the left of the upper red/orange flame really works. Maybe just try it with just the 3 flames and remove the little one? Again, maybe play around with the shapes in this one to see if you can improve it. A great concept though

mrpsycho98

A good start! My personal favorite is the second logo. As mentioned, we are mainly looking for a symbol so maybe you could use the flames from the second "Aethix" and maybe mold them into some kind of symbol?

The blue you have used is nice and clean, but as I said; maybe try molding the blue text-effects you've used into a symbol we can use?

Thanks.
