Genius Car RentalLogo Design Contest

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.

#20: You are on the right track

To all designers: Imagine the words 'Car Rental' won't even be in the logo. Focus on the word: Genius

I would like for 'Genius' to be unique and recognizable similar to a national brand, I want people to see the word 'Genius' and automatically relate it to car rental (without putting a car in the logo). Add a more corporate tone to the logo too.

This logo will also be placed on a 10ft long light-box behind the rental counter and outside as signage. So please think of how the logo will appear as a 10ft sign on a busy road. I want motorists to connect with it quickly as an upcoming national brand.

Thank you and good luck to all.

Remember, we are looking to build a national brand and the logo has to represent that.

I ENCOURAGE ALL DESIGNERS TO USE THEIR INSTINCTS AND JUST CREATE A LOGO FROM THE TOP OF THEIR HEAD. YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE ANY GUIDELINES AT FIRST. YOU ARE FREE TO USE ANY COLORS, SHAPES, BACKGROUNDS AND FONTS.

GOOD LUCK!!
