Logo Design Contest
We are looking to get a logo designed for the following domain:
registermydotcom.com
Company name is "Register My Dot Com"
Here is the terms of what we are wanting to acheive here. We have recently paid for two different companies to produce two different logos for the above. Neither of them turned out to our liking.
So, the idea now is to make it into a contest so we can see what we can get. We will award a first place, second place and third place prize. The prizes are as follows; $20 for 1st, $10 for 2nd and $5 for 3rd.
We know it is not much, but we already wasted money on the previous logos we ended up not liking.
So what do we want? Well what ever you do make sure you make the main format into a format that can easily be resized without loosing much detail. We would prefer a transparent or white background. Try to incorporate an actual circle or dot in the logo, one idea was a circle with the word dot in it for the "Register My 'Circle with Dot' Com"
Keep it professional looking, yet with a bit of fun to it. Couple of options we thought about was a logo for the name "Register My Dot Com" with the domain name listed somewhere beneath or above it. Other ideas are to make a logo based on the domain itself. Prefer to see something kinda simple, nothing to big or elaborate as the name is big enough. Ok well.. thats about it.
We would like to see numerous designs and ideas. Ohh.. payment will be made via paypal. Winners will be listed here, and the contest goes until Saturday night, May 17th.
Please note this one thing. To some this may not seem right, but we want to stipulate it now. If for some reason say we only got two entries, and well.. neither of them were that good in our eyes, we would instead of awarding the top prize we would award the 2nd and 3rd place prizes. We are reserving the top prize for the logo we actually accept and plan to use. If none of the ones turned in meet our expectations then there will be no first place.
Sorry if this turns many off but that is the way we want to work this. I personally promise that we will be fair and honest in this decision, and have no plans of using anything we do not pay for. If you have a problem with this contest, then it is simple.. don't waste your time. If you think you got it wrapped up, then give it your best shot.
We are going to lay ourselves out on a line here, because if we don't live up to our word, then you will have a perfect opportunity to put us in our place among all of our peers right here.
Thanks for your time, and good luck! Please post any further questions or concerns here.Last edited by RasnCain; 05-14-2003 at 06:43 PM.

Good question, and the answer is no. We have no plans currently for the design.
However, I would like to mention some colors that if you could work into the logo would be good. Not neccessary to win, just do whatever appeals to you, but we do use these colors else where. The use of these colors is in order of heavily used to slightly used.
One point: white is the background color of choice
And the colors in order of most used to least used are:
FF6D08
5242CE
C4E58D
Think what you wish of the colors.. do not over use them. If the first one is not used heavily, and when it is it is typically offset with the white background. Don't want a big old bright orange logo, just be nice and subtle with the color usage.

Logo design...
Ok, here's my entry:
logo
The logo design would include:
- the .psd format
- the logo in .jpg format
- the logo in .gif format
IMPORTANT: If you decide to choose my logo, since I think your price demand is low (we'll all agree on this) I will ask you to put a link to my portfolio somewhere visible on you website for 1 year (I would say next to the Copyright text "Logo design by portfolio.com") if you are not ready to do this you can still buy the logo for at a higher price or just don't pay attention to this reply. Hope this is clear, jhaymann@yahoo.com if you wish to contact me.

this is a nice start I have to say.. though not particularly fond of the hand, but what the heck.. we may be in touch
thanks much for the entry
Sorry if you feel the $20 is low.. I know it kinda is.. but I have seen decent logos done here for people for $10 so I thought $20 was decent for a little contest such as this.

Ok. But as I said if you decide to choose my logo you will have to do what I demand in exchange.

And for the hand, I personally think it's a really good idea, because it makes the customer thinks he has the choice. it's like the client would throw his hand at your face saying register MY! dot com

Thanks for the last two posts / entries. One thing about both of them however is that I fear the lack of the word "Dot" would be a problem. As these logos in my mind would imply the domain is actually, www.registermy.com and not the ful registermydotcom.com
Just my first impression of them. If I did not know what the actual domain is / was then I would think from those logos that is was www.registermy.com
Thanks for the entries.
regards

Noted. I like quite a few of the ones after mine, so I think you will be in good hands and/or find something you like.
Thanks for the feedback. I may throw something else at you for feedback later.

Ends Saturday May17th
The contest will end saturday May 17th at midnight. We will review all entries sunday and decide on a winner then.
Anyone interested in competing, please look at the submissions by Ace. This is the sort of thing we are looking for, simple and clean but very nice as well as good use of the colors.
Thanks for the interest and good luck. We really do wish we had more to spend right now. On a side note.. the winner will likely get more business by us in the future, if that is any incentive.

Hi! RasnCain,
I came up with some shots for your company logo during my spare time. Take a look at them HERE. I'm pleased to know what you think of those mock-ups.
The colors, fonts, and size of the logos can be changed upon request.
PM me or contact me at tpragu@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
Regards...
