[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.

Hi

The 1 is a bit too bulky now that I think about it. Can you try thinning yours out a bit?

 

[umxca]

hi matt here's another idea...thx

 

[tilldoomsday]

This is my submission. I can change it anyway to your specifications.

Hope ya like it.

 

[manlymatt83]

umxca: I like where your new idea is going! Your original idea from the other thread is also very good as is currently one of the few frontrunners, but this new idea is also a good possibility. Can you keep working on it? Perhaps extending the 0 a bit? And also, I'm not sure how much I like the "base" of the 0, though it may work.

thx here's a revision

hmmm, not quite umxca. I really like what $tealth did, though his 1 (the center part) is way too thin.

Remember, we want the logo to be unique, but we also want it to be simple enough that a 10 year old could hand draw it, if that makes sense. The less stuff, the better (for instance, remove the "shadow" at the bottom if you could).

hmm... a new possible color scheme came to mind just now. While I definitely like the purple & dark green like we've seen, and the others, what about a blue and cream combination? Or perhaps blue and silver?

Stealth,

Your first idea was much better because everything was connected. The zero made a swoop and the end of the swoop was the one. It's just that the 1 itself was too bulky.

This is an interesting idea but not really a good fit.

here's another variation...thx

Wow! That's a great submission!! Could you make it so the logo image is to the left of the text instead of above it, and perhaps give a few color submissions (like blues), and perhaps make the image a tad smaller?

[manlymatt83]

I don't like this at all. Sorry. BUT....

This is definitely my favorite so far in this contest. It still needs "something" though. I think the font is too plain (I like the other fonts shown in this contest) and I think the image is still too far from the text. It needs to be developed more. But this logo submission has MAJOR potential. It might be my favorite overall so far, but I can't decide yet. Can you keep working on it a bit? Also, can you perhaps remove the shadow? Like I said in the past we'd like to keep the logo as simple as possible.

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?
