Detroit Venture PartnersLogo Design Contest

Like the skyline... not sure about the color scheme. Like the way the "Detroit" pops. We can't wait to see more!

Would love to see some more ideas for a clean, hip, edgy logo. Think creative ideas, rebuilding a city, fun & innovative people to deal with. check out: http://logofi.com/logo/751 for a cool logo.

it doesn't have to be a skyline... think clean, cool and hip... maybe an icon and a nice font...

Like entry #96 for PMC

Please check out some of the logos that we like.... They all may not translate to our business are examples of what we consider good design.... It represents well who the company is and what they do.

Hi! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ 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-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked in the top 10. We like to earn points.

~~ NOTE: While in JUDGING mode, the designer ranked in 1st can still submit revisions.

I’d love to see more “web 2.0” looking logos and get away from the buildings. Even something like this or along these lines:

detroitventurepartners

(the venture is orange and a different boldness)

Play with the fonts on #1. For #2, we kind of like the focus on the "O" but this isn't it... Looks to much like a buoy or a donut... Continue to explore options for the "O". Keep up the good work... happy thanksgiving!

DVP, thank you for the feedback. Just FYI, you can leave an individual feedback on the designer page by clicking the design. That way, the system will automatically send an email notification and alert us. Happy Thanksgiving!
