Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
Hey all, thanks for participating. Let me say that I'm not a fan of the magnifying glass; I think it's just too overused in the records space, and also doesn't exactly convey "high technology". I like the font and simplicity of hte first example, however, while it's clear to me what the graphic is, I don't think users are going to understand those as pages (and I don't really understand the foot either...maybe that's something they're doing at some hospitals, but a seal would be more recognized as birth certificate related than a baby foot).
I'm not going to think too hard about this just yet, but just wanted to give my two cents.
Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest:
~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage more participation. ~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered. ~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see. ~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested" ~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation. ~~ Ranking is a non-monitary means of showing apprecaition for designers hard work. ~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.
Ok, we're gettin down to it. Great submissions, thank you all for your participation.
So here's some last-minute input and requests:
1. MPNH, I put you in #1 slot because I really like what this mark COULD BE. However, I don't think I'd leave it in the position it's in unless we can get there on a few things: color (too "Halloween": I'd like to see a handful of different, more web 2.0 friendly colors)
2. Glorious Kids, I didn't think I'd like "files" in the logo, but this comes very close to working. I don't like two arrows (one should suffice), and would like to see some different colors (and treatments: maybe try certificates, or something a little more abstract like just the arrow and....well, I don't know and don't want to stifle creativity)...
3. sethdesign, I really dig your logo, but I'd like to see some different colors and maybe fonts that are a bit less masculine?
Please have a look, I'm ready to pick a winner, and I've got about 15 more logos to go! To have a look (and maybe a go) at another I'm running, check out my contest now for "vital.com".
