Gary Fong, Inc.Logo Design Contest

Are you looking for a logo that says Gary Fong or Flip Pod?

Flip Pod. We want a logo specific for the product. We already have a company logo, which can be seen at garyfonginc.com. Thanks.

Actually, the logo is my avatar, shown to the left.

#1 - I like the use of text that reads reverse, upside down, etc. (I'm sure there's a term for that, but I don't know it.) We would like to use the entire name "Flip Pod" or "Flip-Pod" or "Flip\Pod".

** I've placed the NDA on-line... http://garyfonginc.com/logoNDA.pdf I think it's really important that the designer have an understanding of the product. Please sign and fax (800-604-6373) or email (brian@garyfonginc.com). I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience (and I realize it may put off some designers), but we are constantly fightihng counterfeiters on our products and need to do what we can to protect our IP.

** DESIGNERS, PLEASE READ...

OK, I got permission to post images of the product prototypes... Please review.

#4 #5 #6 #7 - Thanks for presenting the logo in different colors, reverse, rotated, etc. I appreciate the illustration in different forms. I may remove 3 of the 4 just to make the evaluation & comparison process easier for us. If I do, please do not withdrawl them.

#16 I like the use of the product shape in the logo... Not sure about the slogan - I want to get a couple of other opinions.

#18 Don't really care for the font. I also think the overlay of the center 'p' and 'd' is too confusing/distracting. We have 3 seconds to catch their attention, and then 30 seconds at best to make the sale. I spent too much time saying "What does that say?" and I am thoroughly familiar with the product. At the same time, we appreciate your submission and the way you're trying to incorporate the product into the logo. We encourage you to refine and resubmit.

Whie we like submissions #3 and #4, please don't feel limited to a word mark. I'd like to encourage someone to play with an abstract mark.

Thanks for the submissions thus far! Keep 'em coming!

#4 #30 We really love the way this looks, although we're concerned that it is too close to the fdlip video logo... http://www.theflip.com/ It needs to differentiate more to avoid TM infringement issues.

#19 too difficult to read

in general, we like flip and pod stacked (over/under like #4) as opposed to run together (flippod)

We really like the progress so far, and have extended the contest 2 days. Thanks for all of the submissions thus far. Image link has been pulled for confidentiality purposes.
