I don't know why no one has mentioned it but I think $tealth has the best designs by far.

Can I get some more opinions? We need to choose which one we want today. People still like Alex's power design even with the latest designs by $tealth and koncept?

None of these are original or well thought out. None of them have a chance to become a true identity for your company. Why not put the effort into hiring a real designer to market your product with a professional and unique logo. Pimping out design requests through contests is destroying the design business. Whatever doesn't sell, and most of the time even the stuff that does sell, will end up being someone else's design later on down the road as well. If you want some text with a random, generic image in front of it, some gradients and shadowing then you could have done that for free.

If you read earlier in this post, I was willing to pay a designer. No one bit.

I'm going to give my vote to alexcrisache's designs, any of them.

wow, biboz is really talented. his use of the preset bevel+emboss feature in photochop is amazing: Text needs more though, maybe some lens flare...

in all srsness.. i think $tealths are the best, though i still like the originals from the first contest by alexcristache

The power button one? I think we're going to choose that. It isn't my favorite, but almost everyone seems to like it.

Personally, I think that's the best design, and I'll tell you why I think so. It incorporates everything you're looking for, it's well thought out, it's got a clean, modern look, and most of the color schemes are good. It's also fairly simple, which is good for your purposes I think.

Makes sense. Any suggs on color schemes?

Personally I would go with the red and black scheme on the second page. The colors, though different, work better with each other than say the purple and yellow or purple and green. I'm a huge fan of keeping things subtle. You don't need a big and bright logo with obscene colors. The red and black scheme is different enough to make it pop a little, yet subtle enough to keep it looking professional.

That's my point though. Try looking for someone interested in giving you a full scale identity makeover and you'll find interest. Designers don't typically just do a logo redesign.

Google Just Creative Design. The owner of the business is great. I'd like you but I can't from this browser.

We actualy already have. If we choose alex's logo, he wants to work with us to design our site and a full scale corporate image as well.

Good deal. Good luck to you.

I like this one (the middle one) the most. Can you ask him to put the font in italics to see what it will look like?

 

[So]

The one by alex is still the most memorable, IMO

Out of curiousity, is that namepros site the best place to setup logo contests? I actually have a site that I need a logo designed for but I don't like the idea that if you get nothing but crappy submissions in the 10 days or less you're stuck paying out for sub-par work (if no serious designers are interested in your thread) whether you like it or not.

That's why you do what I do.

Make the contest winner get $10, but $40 if you use his logo. That way, if you want out, you pick a winner, pay $10, and you're done.

People designing will work hard because they'll want the $50.
