[REQ-LOGO] NookForum.com Needs a Logo! ~$40 Prize~

[rngrdanny22]

Hello,

I've been working on my site for a couple weeks now and I'm ready to go live, but first, we need a professional logo!

Type of Contest: Logo design

Prize: USD $40, Paypal.

Contest End Date & Time: 8:00 PM, February 17, 2011 or until a suitable logo design is found.


Size Requirements: One design for main logo (in PSD format for resizing) and a smaller, more abbreviated logo.

Color Requirements: Try to stick to the color scheme already on the site. White/Gray/Orange.

Information: The site will be a discussion hub relating to the e-readers made by Barnes & Noble. Absolutely DO NOT use any B&N logos/trademarks in the design of the logo.

I would really like the use of words and a icon of some sort.

My website is located at - http://www.nookforum.com



Thanks everyone!

Gooddesigner: Not a bad concept, but I'm not sure it actually fits the theme of the site. I'm really looking for something tablet/e-reader/book related (sorry, I should have mentioned that in my first post).

Keep the submissions coming!

Hi,

Feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

 

[rngrdanny22]

Gooddesigner: Thanks for the update. It looks like we're heading in the right direction.

will7: Great concept! I like the e-reader icon. Could you change the eyes on the word Nook? They look a little like, well, um... you know... lady parts...

 

[will7]

Hi,

I had a feeling it could appear that way, good to hear that the concept was along the right lines though.

Is this any better?

Will7: A little better, but still a little... you know...

Jed K: Nice design. I'm liking the last one you posted the best. Could you maybe work on the icon a bit and clean it up? Also, could you use a regular "N" in the word nook instead of the rounded one?


Thanks for all the submissions so far! Keep them coming!

Hey rngrdanny22,

Here are some revisions. :tu:

The shading, screen color, button colors, etc. can be adjusted as needed.

Thanks!

Hi,

Another revision, how's this?

Cheers

Jed K: Thank you for making the changes. I'm just not really digging the tablet icon.

Will7: That looks much better. Can you use the same orange color on the screen of the tablet? Also, could you raise the right pupil just a bit? It seems like it's lower than it should be as the eyes are tilted up and to the right.

namanda: I like where you're going with this design. I really like the talking heads for the "o's" in Nook. Could you maybe try changing the color to more of an orange instead of the red?

Gooddesigner: I like the concept. Could you maybe remove the peel from the icon and make both orange colors the same?


Thanks everyone for your submissions! Keep them coming!

Another revision, hopefully this is what you had in mind regarding the eyes and orange colour. Also made some other minor tweaks:

Thanks

Jed K: Thank you for making the changes. I'm just not really digging the tablet icon.

No problem, how about these?

I can change the button and screen color if you have a preference. Or make the tablet bigger.

I was trying to keep the tablet somewhat similar to a Nook, but I can make it look more cartoony if that's what you're after.

Thanks. :tu:

 

[rngrdanny22]

will7: Could you make them both the darker orange color?

Jed K: The second one is jumping out at me the most. Could you lighten up the darker color? Maybe a 666-777 range?


Thanks for the submissions! I'm going to extend the contest since a winner has yet to be named.

Catfish: Thank you for your submission. It's an interesting concept, but I think we need to be REALLY careful with the design as your icon could be seen as possible trademark infringement.

According to B&N's TOS, they wont allow the use of logos, designs, or anything else that could confuse users that we are actually operated by B&N without their written consent.
