FindFinancialAdvisors.comLogo Design Contest

Hi designers! I made a slight edit this morning in the color scheme. We are currently re-branding our site http://www.paladinfinancialdirectory.com/, and want a logo design that will fit somewhat seamlessly into the current site. Please look at the site when making revisions to your current entries! Thanks!

#10: I like what you are doing here graphitlive. Good colors, although I'd like you to check the website above out to see how they work along with our site's colors. Also, I like the name of the company underneath.

#2: DiCiDi, I like this concept as well, although I'd like to see a color scheme that works with the site above. Can you submit an entry based on the site colors? I'd like to see a couple of variations.

# 3,4: Graysource, I like both of these designs and the typography. Now I need to see how they could anchor our site.

Hello! A few more interesting designs have come in. Thank you designers for your entries.

Dicidi is it possible to see a slightly different font face for the large 'Find'?

Adamtuh: can we see a slighty bolder logo? We like this concept but feel like it might get lost on the site. Thanks!
More comments tomorrow!

Hello designers! Thank you for submitting your designs to our contest. I'm seeing some good logos.

Degree Celsius: Very creative and artistic designs but there is too much involved for our site which is already busy and colorful.

Balarea: Thank you for sending in but I think they remind me too much of a Pixar animation about to happen. We need something a little more conservative and that blends well with our site.

Adamtuh: Can you show us something slightly bolder, or work with the current, simple logo to make it stand out a bit more? Also, maybe a slightly different font face. We like this and want to see another version. Thanks!

#18,22: Can you simplify the magnifying glass slightly, maybe less color? I think the 'speed' lines take distract from the logo a bit, and I'd like to see another version please. Also, the name is FindFinancialAdvisors, not advisory.

#17: Can we see a red magnifying glass that is slightly more visible and see if we can reduce the size of FIND a bit and put some emphasis on Financial Advisors? Not sure if it will work but I'd like to see something like that.

#15: DiCiDi: Still like the logo, but can we see a different font face? The current font is too rounded and we would like to see something a bit more conservative (finance). Thanks!

Again, thank you all for your time and submissions!

Hi there! More interesting designs. Sorry for the delayed response -- Fourth of July holiday in the U.S.! Thank you for your submissions. I have made several comments below:

DiCiDi: #40, 39: I like the colors and the new font face. Can I see a version with the 'Financial Advisors' plain text and not italicized? Also, is there a way to include 'Fast. Free.' without compromising the design completely? Just an option we want to look at. Thank you for looking at the site and matching up the colors. I'm still seeing logos come that wouldn't match the current site.

#46: I think this is a unique design, but in order to use it we would have to redesign the site, and that is not something we are planning to do at the moment. Thank you for submitting! Good work!

#44, 45: I do like these designs but I'm afraid that the color would clash with the site. Can you look at the site again and adjust the colors accordingly? Also, would it be possible to include 'Fast. Free.' in this design with compromising it?

#37: Hi there -- can we minimize the 'speed' lines so the FIND is easier to read? Also, how about incorporating the words 'Fast, Free' under the name somehow? Thanks!

#19: This is very simple and straightforward design. Is it possible to see Advisors and the $ sign in the dark, navy blue? Also, can you add the text 'Fast. Free.' underneath? Thanks!

#4,3: I still like these designs, but the colors don't quite work with our current site. Please send over another revision utilizing colors that would more likely match www.paladinfinancialdirectory.com. And if you read my other comments, I am looking to see how the words 'Fast. Free.' might be incorporated.

Thank you designers. We are probably going to end this contest by midnight tonight, short of the 24 hours listed currently. I extended it because of our holiday weekend, but we want to get started with the rebranding efforts. Thank you for sending in your designs. I will post some additional feedback around 5pm this evening.

#70: I like this design. Can we see one more version with 'Fast. Free.' italicized below or somehow highlighting these features of our service? Thanks!

DiCiDi and GraphitLive: Thank you for submitting a few more renditions of your logos!

SpandanS: I enjoy the simple designs you have created.

Thank you to all designers. My company has selected a logo and would like to fast track for our re-branding efforts by ending the contest earlier than expected. We saw some great designs and appreciate all the hard work that went into your entries! Thank you and good luck to you!
