[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:

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.

nope the graphic proportion looks proper now compared to the earlier posts.

thanks.

koncept:

your latest submission is nice. Colors aside, I don't like the middle one. The third one looks like the most promising font-wise, but the Bit and the Venue are uneven (look at the bottom of the V). Could you perhaps submit a few new font possibilities? I like all 3 color possibilities, though. Also, what is your design opinion on the smaller graphic. Is it too small now?

 

[manlymatt83]

koncept: OK, great! Looking forward to a few more submissions from you if possible with perhaps some different touches on the fonts. I'm really liking your submission, but it still needs a little more "umph".

PS:

I really like the sharpness of the font used in this logo:

here's another variation...thx

umxca: a good submission, but I think I definitely like your bit13.png submission this time the best coming from you ( http://www.umx.ca/images/bit13.png ). But the shadow needs to be removed and the next needs to be sharpened a bit, and perhaps the half moon extended a bit (though not completely a circle).

Stealth: the bottom one doesn't look too good, but the top one definitely has some potential. But I think both the logo and the text is too big... this has some of the similar issues that I believe koncept's early designs did. Perhaps reading the comments I sent to him would help.

Wow. That's a really good job.

koncept: not to push you, but I'd love to see another separate submission by you, perhaps. Though that's just me being greedy. I LOVE your current submission. It's definitely one of the front runners.

 

[koncepts]

the first fonts as asked.

 

[manlymatt83]

the first fonts as asked.

Font-wise, I think the only one here that has potential is #1. The others are too skinny. Also, I liked front #3 in the previous submission.

Actually, really like the middle submission here, too.

koncepts: It's been suggested to me that perhaps the "thin line" above the 1 might lose its value as the logo gets smaller and smaller (printed on a business card, for instance). Do you have any suggestions? Perhaps we make it a little larger, or remove it entirely, but I wonder how much that will effect the original idea you have. Any ideas?

Stealth: Can I see your submission (the one I mentioned I liked) with a font that resembles those that others are using (a bit thinner and less bulky)?

 

[koncepts]

Good try, but don't really like any of these. Sorry. But thanks for the submissions!

 

[xpressions]

Here is a try (perhaps not the direction you want to go in, but thought to show something different). Regards,

The contest is technically over, but I'll wait until tomorrow before announcing our winner. But if anyone has any final submission ideas, please feel free to submit them. The only logos I've liked in this whole entry are logos that were simple, non 3d looking, and basic.

just the overall summary of the color concept.

Contest is over. Koncept is the winner of the $25, though we have decided to go with alex's original 1 & 0 logo ( see the OP ) as our actual company logo. He will be hired to further the project.

Koncept: please send me your paypal.

Thanks for everyone's submission! umxca, you were amazing - really appreciate your work through this - was a tough choice. Send me your paypal again for a small bonus for your efforts.
