[REQ-LOGO] Dualism Logo - $50

[bmugford]

Type of Contest : Logo Contest

Prize : US$50

Contest End Date & Time : 7/20/14 @ 11PM EST. I might pick a winner before then.

Size Requirements : I need something that works on a website and is scalable for marketing materials.

Color Requirements : classic black & white colors, grayscale, or your choice. I willing to consider any colors.

General Requirements : Dualism is the division of something conceptually into two opposed or contrasted aspects, or the state of being so divided.

I am looking for something based on the yin and yang circle. It can be either the classic black & white colors, or a color palette / concept of your choice.

Additional Information : The logo either needs to contain the term "Dualism" or "Dualism.com"

This text can either be in the foreground of the circle, outside the circle (below - straight text), or in an outer ring around the circle (either above or below - curved text). I am open to whatever looks the best.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks,
Brad

I'm going to step up and say what other people are probably thinking....and what should have been said already IMHO.

It's just a little bit disrespectful to request that designers participate in your contest, just to pull a no show. When I take time to design for a contest, I do it for the enjoyment of design first, not the money, especially when the contest is only 50 dollars (only 37 euros where I am), but what I expect in return for participation is at least the consideration of the contest holder to behave as if they appreciate our efforts in trying to come up with something that he or she likes. Please be responsible and respect us as professionals and respect the rules of this website or don't bother throwing a contest.

The design contest "Abandonment Rule" kicks in after 10 days, so he still has a day or so to choose. He ran the contest for only 5 days when the max is 10, so I'm not too worried about it. Plus Brad is a reputable NPer.

I am not sure how I have disrespected anyone honestly.

I am working with a partner on this, so I need his feedback as well. I have given some feedback during the contest. I was also out of town all of last week and only recently started reviewing these again.

I will have a decision in the next 24 hours.

Just sayin fellas, if the moderator doesn't speak up who will??

This member has a long history of successful business transactions & a few successful contests. They are aware of the rules just we are aware of situations that arise in life that could potentially detour one from accessing the internet. Weighing everything together in this situation I think that it's fair to give the member in question more time to gather the data they need to make an educated buying decision.

Every situation is a bit different. This situation is NOT an abandonment as they did make an effort to update the thread and explained what was going on. For that, we can be understanding and work with the member.

Thanks for understanding,

Eric Lyon

I am going to go with Hayes as the winner.

It was a hard decision as there are several other designs I like as well.

Can you tell us what sort of content will be on the site?

It will be a company dealing in internet technology - domains, branding, development, etc.

My entry:

 

[bmugford]

Just to clarify a few things -

1.) I am just looking for a basic clean logo. Minimalistic and fewer colors are probably better.

2.) When someone is looking at the logo I want the yin and yang concept to be easily recognizable.

3.) I would consider designs that just use the basic yin and yang signs (below) with a little pizzazz to make them look more like a logo, and include "Dualism" in a way that looks good.
