[Idea Market]

[REQ: LOGO] | Prize: $50.00 | Plus NameBucks To Various Submissions!

"Calling All Creative Geniuses!! $50.00 PLUS NameBucks Rewarded To Various Submissions Regardless Of Chosen Winner!"

Contest End Date: October 1st IF I get enough submissions to choose a goold logo- this is a quickie contest!

Here's what I need, and I know the community designers of NamePros are some of the most creative out there, so I have no doubts you can deliver.

We Need A Fantastic, Clever & Unique Logo for an upcoming review based website,

GurusLab.com

Logo should be edgy, and represent 'lab, guru, cash, concoctions, .. maybe even a test tube! Site will offer No BS, Uncensored reviews of products and services within the Internet Marketing industry.

I also need a secondary graphic, this time a rounded "certification" type of seal.. similar to any of these styles, for instance:

http://www.cscca.org/images/scccseal.jpg

http://www.predatorsniperstyx.com/marketing/image/Hi_Res/SniperCertSeal.jpg


It needs to say (around the circular edges) " Reviewed By Gurus Lab" ". and a form/variation of your main logo graphic in the middle center. It also needs to look good on any background as it will be displayed on tons of different websites, with many different styles and color schemes.

Color Requirement: Should match color scheme of blog, guruslab.com

See example of matching theme: http://developer.apple.com/business/macmarket/images/logo_elluminate.gif

Size: Well, it needs to be big enough for t-shirts, and also needs to look great scaled down to fit a regular sized website layout.

Misc Notes & Doodles: I will require the PSD files with all layers for easy editing of along with the names of fonts used (so I can purchase them if need be). I would also prefer a vectored format image if you can provide it.

And speaking of fonts, I like big, round thick ones.. clear & easy to read . No little scribbles for me, please.

Payment via Paypal, 2CheckOut, or E-gold , your choice..

Now let's see what you've got! =)

Here's a try:

If this design suits, then the seal can be built based on it.

[Idea Market]

Can't see your submission dvirhazout.

xpressions,

I like it, good start.. Any way you can snazz it up just a bit though?

 

[umxca]

hey jake here's an idea..will continue if you like...thx

 

[Idea Market]

umxca,

Love the colors used, and the seal shape/design.. not particular about the test tube, might confuse people as to what it is exactly. Good start though, and very clever idea.. if you could change up the test tube maybe..?

Stick with those colors.. and like the "guru" icon, really good.

Just noticed, reviewed is spelled incorrectly in the seal.

 

[dvirhazout]

sorry for that..
here it is:

 

[umxca]

thx jake will revise... sorry bout the type O....

 

[Idea Market]

dvirhazout,

That looks really far out.. but not what we are looking for (at all).. I think we should stick with the theme in mind (marketing, guru), Thanks for your submission though.

 

[vrwrys]

Here's my logo idea:

 

[J-MAN]

Well...here is an attempt...!

Heres another idea....if u like it I can make the round seal....

 

[umxca]

hey jake here's a revision...thx

 

[Idea Market]

vwaites36,
That isn't edgy or unique enough.. and it needs to fit well in a small size.. sorry.

J-MAN,

That's a bit too busy.. makes my head spin.. looks like a dartboard too.. or is it?

umxca,

So far yours is my favorite although I am more fond of compacted logos, and I think that test tube is just a bit confusing.. maybe try something without it? Also, its Gurus Lab, not Guru Labs.

 

[umxca]

one more shot at the test tube...i'm also glad this arent a spelling contest ...thx

Here's a more simplified version ...thx

 

[Idea Market]

umxca,

You are a very talented designer.. I really like what you've done, I am just concerned about sizing (on a large scale it would look great, but on smaller areas, not sure).

I would also like all submissions to carry the color scheme of the blog here:

guruslab.com

Similar color scheme examples would be:

[Humdizzy]

I tried a different approach to the seal.

 

[umxca]

thx for your comments. Will revise..also do you know what sizes you need? The designs are vector so resizing is no prob. And whcih of the last two entries do you prefer?
thx

 

[Idea Market]

Humdizzy,

Like the font, not the rainbow graphic though, and the seal has to be rounded like the three examples I provided

umxca,

The bottom one.. only because while I 'get it" with the test tube, others may not.

Keep in mind my color scheme and example logo above in my previous post

 

[umxca]

here's a revision. I made the text larger on the seal so the smaller size should not be an issue. Also I left out any yellow in the logo for now as it doesn't seem to blend...thx
