California PastramiLogo Design Contest

Keep in mind to reproduce for signs on a builing or signage in general. Need a flexible design that can be modified as needed for single color, many colors, with and without slogan, etc. Thanks.

So are you not looking for a character then?

Entry 3 thru 5 looks too girly , too pink , not a candy shop .the design is interesting

and to answer the question about a Character , Maybe might be a good idea not sure

Great logos guys! Please keep them coming. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to ask. In summary, we want to be unique. Since one day we would like to be a franchisable entity, we need to stand out and not look just like any mom-and-pop place. So see if you can make our logo more unique.

Husk, good work. Can you try one that is not in an oval or rectangle? Maybe more diagonal (italic slant). We're liking the starburst in #12 but maybe add some bold black (outline?) We're open. I really like the "uniqueness" of #3, I just don't think this is right yet. The color is better in #9 (for us). I wonder if #3 could be changed color-wise, add some pop with an accent color? Thinking outloud here...

Angry Puppy, #15 looks a bit too much like a classic italian restaurant. Work on the colors and simplify. Looking forward to seeing your ideas.

Loq, #7 is getting there, but the font may be a bit too cartoony. Can you improve it by adding black?

E2, #17 is interesting, but difficult to read. The colors don't seem to go with out demographic: big eatin' dudes.

#2 looks like a security company to us. We're fun! Try again please.

#1 is kind of funny. Not sure if this was a designer's joke, but I just realized that this is the same font as California Pizza Kitchen! Nice! We'd love to see you try some more. Thanks.

Hi designers. Realized something that might help. We sell more than just pastrami, so maybe we should emphasize "California" (larger), and smaller "Pastrami". Would like to see our slogan underneath "Big sandwiches done right!" Thanks.

Designers,
As you see, we have requested an extension because we weren't able to offer good feedback over the US Labor Day weekend, and because of this, have not seen the variety of logos that we would like. We have a very good start here, but our main suggestion at this point is that we would like the logo to be more unique and less generic.

Something appears to be wrong with the LT numbering system since all the new logos are coming in as #1. So unitl this is resolved, we'll try to descibe which logo we are talking about. (Unless there is another way.)

You can click on the designs and leave feedback there :) - at least that way you're sure to get the right designer!

Great new designs everyone. Sorry to see a couple of those oval designs get taken down.
FYI. When this is over, we're going to make sure 1st, 2nd, and 3rd all go to different designers regardless of who wins. Thanks and keep up the good work.

There are so many great designs coming in that it is hard to chose. We do have an update, slogan change: "BIG SANDWICHES & MORE!" Thanks for all your hard work Designers!

I will be back to rank and comment around 2:00 am eastern. Keep up the good work!

There are many fantastic designs so far. We have three judges and we will be deliberating once the tournament deadline is up. So, in other words, we don't know who is going to win at the moment, and new entries are welcome. We'll definitely need the judging period. Thanks!
