Our Apologizes for the listing. Let us clarify. The business name for the logo is A&R Distributors and NOT 'website' this was typo on the contest form and were unable to edit it to clarify. We apologize for any confusion on the contest guidelines.
For All: Entry #5 is a very good format and color scheme, just misses being on the favorites side. The font for A & R for this entry needs to be a bit more bold. Very creative and on the right track.
For All: Top 7 Favorite Logo's are posted in order of preference. However, very thin margin in selection placement. Competition is keen and we appreciate all the entries, keep them coming! We visit the site numerous times during the day and will continue to everyday until the contest ends. Thank you all for your creative logos's
For All: Were very impressed with all the entries and the ranking is getting more difficult as new entries come in. We are finding that the logo's that incorporate our slogan with the logo are getting noticed and ranked the highest. However, its not a requirement to incorporate the slogan. We would like to mention even though we are required to rank, all entries are STILL competitive. Please keep them coming!
for All: Next ranking will be later today around 7 pm eastern time zone in the united states.
Some feedback: Many entries to consider and their is a very fine line between what we place in the favorites side and what is put on the not interested. Their are many considerations we are using to distinguish. Specifically, the logo of choice must have a 'wow' factor that transcends its appeal on the web, business cards, letterhead, etc.. Additionally, with web 2.0 we desire a logo that will work in the long term.
Our marketing team evaluates every single logo. For the logo's we do rank, they are evaluated and are also polled by a diverse demographic base. We are seeing a wide range of ideas and they all have a certain appeal. We do sincerely appreciate all the efforts from all entries and we do thank you for your time and efforts.
If you have any direct questions or specific questions, please don't hesitate to email us here on the site.
Again, thank you to all for your very unique and competitive ideas.
The whole style of logo being picked is wrong for this company, in my humble opinion, the logos up there look fine and are executed well by all designers, but they're not technological, there's no wow factor and they're not hip. They could easily belong to freight company not a technological company. just my two cents, don't want to sound to harsh, just give advice, as changing logos in the future is not cheap. But then again picking your logo is a personal thing, whatever the outcome.
I must say that i agree what ulahts said about swooshes but in the start of contest i didnt have those and later when all my no swooshes entries were ranked as not interested i just folowed the CH style that he likes! My job is to create and if CH doesnt like my solutions i'll shure try to satisfy his likeness style that he's after. And i must say that sometimes simple one's give the best result, in the end its all about CH taste.
I'll have to disagree with what ulahts said. How did NIKE use the swoosh for decades? It all depends on how you brand your company. A logo is just the pretty face of a company/business/corporation/product. And if you give the pretty face some personality/character, then people will remember you for it. Pretty and nice personality/character. Branding of your company is important to support the pretty face. So, no matter if it's a swoosh, a dot, etc.. people will remember you if you use it correctly. Ok, that's just my opinion.
Mare i completely agree, designjunction borrowed the same image.'It's not at his first time here doing this. Maybe where he is those things are allowed, here they shouldn't!
I did in some earlyer contest and nothing happen so... The only thing that makes me sad is that CH doesnt see it as stilling, they dont care who did it first...
There you go, I think the CH noticed it now that you submitted that concept first and not aware that there are 2 designers in that design concept.
Mare, give designjunction the benefit of the doubt and I think accusing him for stealing your concept wasn't fair. Well, I really hope that he didn't copy your idea.
designjunction, I know you are a good designer... however, your entry was too similar with Mare. In your case, Be man enough to withdraw it if there are already some violent reactions happening.
Thx jakub! Baiskee i think we all know what designjunction is doing on this site contest after contest and im not the only one that was copied by designjunction!
A company with a great logo. I am praying that Denis will win this. That's the only logo that has some potential! And again the ignorance of the competition holder is ace here!
