[Winners Selected] $69 Logo Contest

[*AllThings.tv*]

Welcome designers!

This contest will be an award of $69 payable through check or paypal, your preference.

Please do not enter clipart etc type entries. It is very important that this is an original logo. I don't want any TM concerns. If anyone notices that any entries are questionable re their originality please PM me with appropriate reference re similar logos so I can look into further.

Comments from onlookers are welcomed. If you have any questions, please ask.

I would like a logo that can be used on apparel so keep that in mind. Vector artwork required to receive the prize money. High resolution!!!

What site is the logo to be created for?
The logo will be for www.legalchatter.com. The theme of the website is law related obviously and will attract pre-law students, law students, and lawyers.

Feel free to check it out: www.legalchatter.com.

Are the colors used on www.legalchatter.com the colors you want in your logo?

You may ignore the current colors as they have yet to be set. However, the colors should be inviting and non threatening. They should foster community and make people want to return. We can modify the colors used on the site to fit the logo created.


Do you have any ideas?
I am not set on anything I am hoping to get some good creative entries. When I asked some friends in the law for some ideas to get you started, they came up with the following:

1. The scales of justice with stuff symbolizing work on one side and weighing heavier than the other side, which would have stuff symbolizing personal life.

2. A set of teeth chomping down on a gavel.

3. A shark coming up to the surface of the water (See the JAWS poster) and on the surface swims a man in a business suit paddling on an oar (rather than a swimmer from jaws).

4. A shark coming up to the surface of the water (See the JAWS poster) chomping on Legalchatter.com, which is splintered from the shark bites

How will the competition work?
Round 1 of the competition will last until Wednesday, September 27th. Each submission shall receive candid feedback and all submissions may be revised multiple times, based on my feedback, until the final deadline for Round 1. The final deadline will be 11:59 PM PST on September 27th.

Will you accept multiple entries from the same user?
Yes, multiple entries will be accepted.

What happens after Round 1?
When Round 1 closes at 11:59 PM, I will make two selections and provide feedback after reviewing the entries. Round 2 will commence following the announcement of the selected entries. Round 2 will come to a close 4 days following that announcement. I will select a winner shortly after that.

Two revised versions, both with a modified "chatter" text according to suggestion, and different approaches to the shark-bitten letters.

Heres a new concept (2) similar to concept 1.

Feedback please

That took your design to another level. I like it.
Can you make the shark look a little more natural and longer after the tie? The shark can be coming straight out up out of the water like the JAWS poster above. I like the bite marks in Legal and .Com. This is one of my favorites at the moment.

I really like this cartoon design. Can the shark interact with the words? For example, be in the act of chomping down, ripping them apart?

Virgil, one more thing, any chance you could make the bite from the "L" more obvious? Maybe by just making the piece in the shark's mouth bigger? Also, any chance you could try some other fonts. This logo keeps growing on me. Great work!

I'm probably way off the mark with this design... not a shark to be seen anywhere.

I really like the chattering teeth. I think that's an innovative take on things. I'm not too sure about the colors or the font though. Any way to bring some sort of legal ideas to the chattering teeth idea? Nice idea!

Hope you like

Now, these are very interesting. They have a super mario bros. feel to them for some reason. I really like them. Is it possible to give the shark teeth in its upper jaw?

Thanks for the feedback SF.

Just a thought...

I noticed that you had mentioned you wanted the colors to be "inviting and non threatening" but a shark is completely opposite of that and they are threatening and definiitely not inviting. If you are looking for a logo that is community focused and non-threatening I am not sure a symbol of a jaws shark is a good approach. But, just a thought. I will hopefully have a chance tomorrow to post a logo sample but since I may not I wanted to get that tidbit in as I think that possibly a shark isn't the accurate portrayal for your company.
Thank you,
Sara

Nice eye, Sara. Perhaps you should be an attorney Mayber you're right...although I love what I have seen so far. I'm excited to see your take on things. Thanks for your interest.

Flavian,

This is really starting to work for me. Is it possible to make the teeth in the upper jaw either the same size or bigger than the teeth in the lower jaw?

Excellent work. Thanks.

Thanks for the modification. You've proven me wrong. The original font is best.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not sure I see that the top teeth are bigger. Any way to make the bottoms smaller than the top? I think the design is excellent and the mod would make it even better. Thanks for the work.

Sara's Shot at Legal Chatter...

Here is what I thought would be best. I have attached a rationale with the logos explaining why and also what would work best for embroidery.
Thank you,
Sara
