VGBA Logo Redesign Competition

[Joeseye]

I would suggest that the voting thread not contain names of the designers, and people refrain from saying "This one is mine!"

Sounds fair.

[Mariolee]

I've received a ton of great submissions so far! Keep it up guys!

Good idea! I've edited the OP with updated information.

Here are a few points I hope all entrants keep in mind.

1. Image scaling. This is imperative for a logo to scale properly, for it may be used as a thumbnail image or tiny icon all the way to a large scale poster. As I am not sure what all media types the logo may end up on , you still want to make sure your entry is scalable without loss of integrity.

2. A logo is about branding and identity, not about being the flashiest thing since sliced neon lighting. Get the overall style down before you worry about the colors.

3. Nothing happens overnight. You know all those killer logos like the Nike swish or the FedEx logo? I'd bet those took some serious time and effort to create. Nothing is ever as easy or as simple as it seems.

I hope you don't mind if I put this in the OP!

[Element]

Submitted mine.

Also, thank god I searched logo theory before I did mine. To everyone out there, just follow what Crotale said. Your logo will be so much better if you follow it.

[roza]

Submitted one. I have a 0% chance of winning but I had some spare time

[stevencho]

I shall be making one.

[Atexus]

I'll attempt one

[Mariolee]

Remember everyone, you have until this Saturday at Midnight to submit a logo!

[Crotale]

I am still considering a go at this. I just finished a marathon design, so my eyes are a bit worn out.

I can't send you my new entry for this wonderful competition.

[Crotale]

^ Me too. I hope he gets this resolved or else extends the deadline.

[Mariolee]

I have cleared my inbox, am getting ready a logo, and there are now less than 24 hours to turn in your entries. Remember, by midnight tonight is the deadline to turn in any logo redesigns you may have.

[Crotale]

I ... am getting ready a logo

Do you think this is a good idea, since you are officiating the event?

Do you think this is a good idea, since you are officiating the event?

I'm sorry, I meant to say I'm making a logo to represent the competition (which is basically the logo that is in my sig and in the OP right now.) And even if I was creating a logo for the competition, since this is open to everyone and people will vote for the best logo anonymously, no one would be able to tell which one was my logo anyway. Thus either way, it doesn't matter.

Thanks for clarifying.

Good luck everyone!

Can't wait to see what you guys came up with...
