[REQ-LOGO] lifendar.com

[manlymatt83]

Type of Contest : Logo contest
Prize : $20
Website : lifendar.com
Contest End Date & Time : Sunday, December 14th @ 5:00 PM EST
Size Requirements : Not too big, not too small
Color Requirements: Unspecified, but I'm thinking red and silver/gray.

I'm designing a website that combines the words "calendar" and "life" together to make "lifendar.com". I'd like a logo and I know exactly what I want, though perhaps you guys can come up with some additional ideas.

Basically, here's what I'm looking for:

I'd like the word Calendar in gray/silver to be written in a nice font, making the "Cale" part a bit "lighter" than the "ndar". Then, I'd like a red scribbly going through the Cal (crossing it out), and a "hand written looking" word Life.


Hopefully this makes sense...


Good luck!

hi matt...do u mean something like this?

 

[manlymatt83]

umxca: good start, but the lif should replace the CAL... almost like someone scratched it out and wrote lif in its place

ok got it...do you want everything in handwritten font? or just lif?
thx

 

[manlymatt83]

Dunno, try both

 

[Zepia]

Here's my entry, I wanted to try something different when it came to picking the right font, let me know what you think!

 

[umxca]

I liked the font in zepia's, but so far, none of these are really hitting the spot. If I had to pick one now it would be umxca's - I like how he blended things. But, perhaps we could forget the scratch idea and just do a few using the colors Zepia used (the font zepia used as well as umxca is also good)? What would sometihng that just said:

lifendar

look like with the life in red or blue and the ndar in gray?

Also, please do not include the .com

Here's my try du jour:

 

[Zepia]

Ok I have made some changes to it, since we're removing the part where it says "cale" I added a calendar on the side to match, I use the 2 colors you wanted and I trew a slogan for free

Let me know what you think!

thx for thee FB matt...here's some revisions:

These are cool! Nice and simple. But they all look a bit uneven. Could you try to make them a bit more even text/font wise?

Let me know what you think!

If you're looking to incorporate images like that, best to incorporate some sort of "graph looking line". Plus, while I like the outline of the calendar, the Jan 1 part just doesn't fit. Instead of having a separate image like that, could you perhaps incorporate that calendar look into one of the letters?

Also I changed my mind. Anyone doing a logo should make the "life" the same color and the "ndar" the same color. Make the word life stand out. Zepia has it right, umxca's need to be modified.

Thanks!

The second is my favorite so far, but perhaps instead of something like a checkmark, could you make it look more like a line on a graph? Perhaps up down and up?

Also, I'm not a fan of shadowing or light effects or anything like that. Can you keep the logo as two solid colors?

 

[umxca]

hi matt here's another idea with an attempt at using the L as a calendar flipping...thx

 

[Sammyloski]

Thanks for the quick feedback! I will post the revisions soon!
