What We Do
We're an onlline television network that covers the world of Celebrities, Beauty and Fashion, as if Instyle Magazine were a television network

Color Preferences
I don't think this should be overly colorful, as dots could be taken as a kids brand if not treated with sophistication. I don't want it to look like "Dippin Dots" ice cream or a bunch of balloons. Shades of the same color dots might be nice, or try the same color. I don't think I like different color dots, but if you come up with something creative, I'm open.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
I definitely want dots! in the logo, either in terms of polka dots or a cluster of dots (min of 3). I want people to recognize the brand with out having to read the word "dots". They would see the logo and they would know it's dots. I want the mark and the name "dots" and then the words; Celebrity Television somewhere. The idea is eventually we drop the Celebrity Television, much the same way that one refers to E! Entertainment Television as just E! now. Please make sure that the network name, dots! is THE most dominant word on the page.

All nice jobs, but the word "Channel" shouldn't be anywhere in the logo, channel is in the corporate name and the url but not in the logo. The logo should say, dots, celebrity television. Also, a logo of dots cannot replace the word dots. I have to have both the "mark" and the 'word", followed by "celebrity television".

Hi, amruvka! I just want to make sure we're all clear on what text the logo should include. In your comment above, you say that it should include the word "Dots!" and "Celebrity Television". But in the brief you said you wanted the words "Celebrities, Fashion, Beauty" in the logo too. Can you please clarify whether you want that last bit in there? It will help all of us!

Also, it's a good idea -- rather, it's imperative -- that you rank the designs and mark those that absolutely will not work for you as "not interested". This helps us better understand what you're looking for -- and what you're not looking for. Without rankings and feedback, we are lost! Also, by not ranking, you scare away new designers -- and you might accidentally scare away the designer that will produce your perfect logo! Please consider ranking on a daily basis. I know it's a lot of work, but that's how this process works, and I'm afraid you'll have less success if you don't do it. You can rank and re-rank all the time, so don't worry that ranking locks you into anything at this point in the contest. Good luck!

CH, it would be nice if you start ranking so designers won't be put off and to know better about your prefferences of those you like from those you dont.

Thanks,

hi guys... Be careful ...9 dots like the ones represented in many concepts above is very close to channel nine's logo...might be rubbing that on the wrong side in terms of the IP Rights... (http://www.google.co.in/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_enIN308IN309&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=channel+9+logo)

Is it so hart to rank more than 7 entries? It will be even better if you
put the label "not interested" in those you do not really like. It will be
more helpful for the others to see what direction to catch up.

Thanks.

I want to thank everyone very much. If you don't know, I'm the founder of E! Entertainment Television. This is my next network. A few months ago I ran a contest to call this network "herTV", as it turned out, I couldn't use the name, so here I am again. My biggest problem with this experience is choosing. They're all so very good and the truth is, I couldn't go wrong picking any of them. You all did an awesome job and you will be hearing about this network starting in June. When Dots! is as big as E! you can all say that you were part of it inthe begining.

Thanks again, and I'll be picking my winner over the next few days.

amruvka why do you avoid answering our PM's and ranking questions? I withdrew all my entries because of this and i am puzzled by it cause you even made extremely positive remarks. This is nothing personal, not at all but i feel an answer to those who had the same question as me would be greatly appreciated

In business if you can get something done professionally and at a good cost, it is a smart move. Its the reason he is the Chairman and CEO and not the Janitor.

amruvka,

I know you're not interested in most of the submissions as you may only choose one, but could you please rank the remainder or mark as 'not interested'? The designers get a ranking according to how you rate their efforts..

Kind regards,
