[REQ-LOGO] Logo Contest for BitVenue Networks Round #2

[manlymatt83]

Hi all,

Recently, we held a contest here for a new logo for BitVenue Networks, LLC. That first contest was here: Old Contest. In that contest, umxca and alex's logos were our favorite, and we're currently trying to decide which logo to pick (both alex and umxca have received money for their efforts in the previous contest PRIOR to me creating this new contest).

We'd like to start a new contest, and see if we can get any new ideas, before moving forward with choosing a logo from the previous contest. The rules of this contest are:

1) All logos must be new. Do not submit designs that were submitted in the previous contest, please. You can; however, submit MODIFIED designs of submissions from the previous contest.
2) Please ignore the information given in the previous contest. Focus on this contest only. Feel free to take design ideas from my comments on designs submitted in the previous comments, but don't tie your ideas to those designs.
3) Please please PLEASE keep the logo simple. We want our logo to unique, but very simple. If your logo is a simple swoosh and a line or two, and if it makes me excited and explains who we are, I'll be excited.
4) As a hint, we liked umxca and alex's logos from the previous contest.



Type of Contest : Logo contest
Prize : $30 (with additional $70 bonus IF we choose to use your logo for our company)
Contest End Date & Time : Sunday, November 30th @ 5:00 PM EST
Size Requirements : Not too big, not too small
Color Requirements : Unspecified, but we like purple and yellow/orange (shades that match of course).


Good luck!



EDIT:

For record keeping sake (since we send people to this thread for people to give their advice), the winners of the previous contest were:

and

EDIT: There was a typo in the original end date of this contest. It should have been November 30th, not December 30th. a 40 day contest is not allowed per the rules, etc., and it was an honest typo.

Here's one:

Way too complex. If anything, JUST the two triangle shapes next to the text in black may be a better submission. The whole purple thing doesn't work.

Also, purple and dark green are also possible colors (those that match of course)

Hi Matt here's an idea....thx

Thanks for the feedback,
Here's another try with the changes made in different color variations:

Hi Matt here's an idea....thx

I like the possible potential of this, but the two circles are sort of way too much. Also, we're looking for a more "subtle" one (where you can't really tell the 1 is there).

Thanks for the feedback,
Here's another try with the changes made in different color variations:

Definitely has potential. At this point, the text is what's throwing this submission off. Could you make the text different? While I didn't really like the logo, I definitely liked the lettering used in this example:

See how sharp that text is? I actually like the colors and the text used in that logo very much, just not the design. Though I would probably want the word "BitVenue" to be the same font and size, etc. in the end. Perhaps different colors though, like it is in that image.

Nice try but way too complex. I do like the "theme" though.

Sorry, I don't really like this much.

An interesting twist. I like the "professionalism" of this submission. But I'm not sure what the logo means... it really has no meaning to it. I'd say it has a possible potential. Thanks for the submission!

 

[Biboz]

Changes made!

 

[manlymatt83]

Changes made!

Definite potential. Very simple, but still not unique enough. For instance, I could easily see another company having this identical logo. But I LIKE how it looks and I do like the feel. Could you make BitVenue one word instead of two? There's too much of a space. Also, how does bitvenue look if its all lowercase?

Hi

 

[manlymatt83]

Hi

Definitely potential as well. I like how clean and crisp it is. I'm not so sure about the colors now that I think about it - the green looks like it came out of a mud puddle.

OK, I really like the left hand side image of this one:

but I don't know if that is unique enough.

And I really like the image AND DEFINITELY the lettering of this one:

Perhaps someone could come up with a merged idea?

Okay! Here's another shot:

Okay! Here's another shot:

Thanks for the submission. Still something missing. In fact, I liked the others better than this one. I don't want to add complexity. I'd prefer to keep it simple. Your two shapes one is fine, it's just not unique enough. Perhaps if one of them was a square and one of them was like that, or perhaps if you somehow incorporate a 0 and a 1 into them?

So far, my favorite this contest is the following, because it makes our one and zero so unique. But it definitely needs some revisions.
