Ben WaddellLogo Design Contest

Hey guys! I can't believe I already have some examples! I'm not really into pink, or having images of a bride and groom...

Also, don't be afraid to play around with the capitals of my name... benwaddell, BENWADDELL, Benwaddell, etc...

And I want to logo on a white background, so don't bother doing a black background:)

The other comment that might help you is that I'm going to be making my business cards with letterpress... here are a couple links that I love!

Here is a link to my blog. You will see my current logo in the header, hopefully seeing this will help you because its where my future logo will be!

One more helpful resource... here are a couple photography logo's that I love

Just keep in mind I'm going to be printing on letterpress.. I love the expensive, vintage feel!

#37 your designs are good but I think I regret mentioning a little blue, and I'm not so sure about the swirlies...

the name is different, here it is Ben Waddell, and on the website is Ben Weddle.
Which one is right?

Ben Waddell is the right name, not sure what site you were looking at kavonk...

please do it on a white background. I have ranked some dark backgrounds high because i like the design, but would rather see everything on white!

#56: i think it has great potential, would like to see it developed more... i know that's a vague way of describing it but I don't know what else to say!

#62 is ranked first because I like the simplistic feel. I definitely think I can find something better but I feel like the designers are starting to catch on to what I want a little better.

you guys are awesome!

#45 I love the design, would like to see it on white, and I'm starting to like the vintage look. I am going to be doing all my business cards/promotional stuff on letterpress and I think a nice crisp, vintage logo would be awesome.

I'd like it to be a little simpler, but I am excited that you are working on my logo!

My wife wants my brand to be a little more vintage and a little more masculine.

clean, simple, vintage, masculine. so please no more shoes, cameras, bride sillhouttes, or swirly thingies:)

I'm not really interested in having my initials "BW" in the logo, just my name is fine.

#99 could we try putting the Fine Art Photography inside the brackets? under my name...

I really really like the designs that came out for the In Ultra lounge:

particularly

#66
#149
#122
#214

would like to see some designs that match the professionalism, coolness, and classy look of those logo's!

Thanks for the feedback. I just saw your comments on this page. If you click on the design you can comment directly to the designer. This page is for more general comments. Just as fyi. I just submitted the new one. Thanks! ;0)

#116 can I see it without blue? I like it because it looks professional and simple...

#136 is ranked highest because its clean, simple, professional, and looks like a logo I might actually be able to use in my sites... I recieved a bunch of new submissions this morning but they all had flowers and swirly thingies in them. I appreciate the activity but I really don't want flowers!

thanks!

...according to the ranking made...that means all images are out as well? Not even a crest like Gene Higa?
Seems we are looking at a pure "font-contest" in this case. May the boldest font win! ;-)

no, i like the idea of using graphics besides a font but I haven't seen any that i like.

# 136, could I see it with a dark background for kicks!

it's nice to have a clean simple look for your logo, you can play more with graphics with the designs on the actual website, business cards and other printed materials. Great taste! ;0)

#136

could I see it slightly darker... like
