Logo contest - PAYPAL deposit sent to a dependable ATOT member

[slackerinabox]

We have a few of these going already, guess I'm just jumping on the band wagon. I have a not-for-profit film production company and need a logo for our business card and possibly our site. The company is call "Shallow Waste-Bin Films" and our emphasis is making low/zero-budget films that may be worthy of the trashbin but are still valuable because of the work experience we gained from making them.. Get it? We're about learning how to make movies and not about making movies (yet)....

Ideas I've had include a garbage can filled with rolls of movie film with the text around it or something.. You guys are the artists, not I

Here's are some pointers:
-B&W, fit for 1 color business card printing (or if you're kind and could deliver two versions, one for the web and one for business cards)
-Grungy looking by still stylish..
-Must look good when scaled down to a business card size
-"Shallow Waste-Bin Films" is the name (the website is for "The Shallow Waste-Bin Project," an offshoot of the company

Check out our homepage for ideas.

PLEASE ask questions before spending time on this.

The reward is a measly $20- we're a poor group of guys who love film but don't have a lot of money The money has been paypalled to GoodDad (a Diamond Member here) and he will be holding it until the contest is over. Let's set an apx. deadline for the 21st of March.

Thanks!

methinks you shouldn't have tried doing this so close to the other contests.

You're probably right.. I'll bump this until people are interested again.. But, unlike some of the other contest, I'll actually be giving people the money I promise them


Also, this is for a site that I hope a lot of people will see (we're advertising around NYC and getting a public access show to promote ourselves)..

Bump for another logo contest... with a much harder theme.

A much more INTERESTING theme and a chance to push your creativity... That's why it's the logo contest to rule them all!

Thanks for the bump!

Logo1

Tough task given the size limits!

I like it but perhaps with a little bit more edge and a little slicker? Let me find some examples on the web. Maybe a different angle would be to focus on the initial SWB in the middle of a film canister or something.. But I still like the trashbin angle.. Maybe treat it as an overhead shot of a garbage can with the lid on with film streaming out with the initials SWB in big letters and FILMS in small letters under it? I'm just thinking out loud.. Thanks for the submission!

I will do something when I have the time...
I have to be at work an hour earlier tommorow.

A natural salesperson I tell ya...

I'll try my luck at it tomorrow... I always hear that my stuff is trash, so maybe I will have some luck with a waste-bin
