goMatador.comLogo Design Contest

Thanks everyone. I left feedback individually, but to recap, I am looking for a Matador character/image.

Thanks everyone! I left feedback individually.

Now that I see a matador dressed in yellow, I greatly prefer him in black - it's a stronger image. I do not want to discourage the use of yellow, but I do not want him dressed all in yellow.

I really like the silhouettes here so far, and would really like to see other silhouettes, maybe with more dynamic action implied.

Overall, I like what everyone is thinking here. I really like the Web 2.0 effects on the lettering so far. If you have any questions for me, please post. Thanks!

Although I do not want a bull to be added to the image, I am ranking #13 third because I like the overall symmetry and balance of the logo and name. I also like the posturing of the silhouette. The body language and detail is amazing, though I would like to see examples of more forward facing silhouettes and silhouettes in action as well. Thanks!

I have re-ranked and posted comments. It is becoming obvious that the cape is the key! We are looking for a cape that is in motion. Please reference the above post as well. Silhouette variations are suggested. Thank you for your time!

hello, I would like to make an observation, when the bullfighter (matador) takes the crutch (red), does not overburden (hat)

Thanks everyone for your participation! I have ranked and posted individual comments. I am offline for almost 20 hours and will get back ASAP to rank and review. THANKS!

I only had a couple minutes to re-rank. I have not left feedback but will as soon as I can! Thanks!

I have ranked designs and left individual feedback. Thank you everyone for submitting and listening to feedback! I would like to make some observations.

1. I definitely want the ".com" to be a part of the name and on the same line as the "goMatador"; not on a vertical, above the name or below it.

2. I am looking for a matador who displays pride, victory, and is in a posture of strength.

3. I am looking for a cape that is being displayed with flourish, shows motion, or is swirling. I do not mind if the cape is a realistic size or not, but I do want it to be a nice red color.

4. I like the matador to be primarily black, the cape to be red, and not a lot of little details. I like simple, clean and a stand-out matador and cape.

Thank you! Please post if you have questions!

Helo everyone. Thanks for your submissions! I have re-ranked. I have not had time to leave feedback individually, so I will leave feedback here for the general audience.

I like the matador best when he is looking up, chest out. When he is looking down, it is not proud or victorious. I can't figure out why there are so many matadors looking down... it's just not a posture of strength. I like the side profiles, with the face facing forward or at least almost forward. The matador is our spokesperson; our character. He needs to be AMAZINGLY powerful and suave. He needs to connect with the viewer, therefore, he has to be upright, posture straight, and looking forward or nearly forward. Nothing in a downward direction.

I like red. Not any variation of red.

I have not seen a cape that I like, yet. I want a cape that looks like it is in motion with a pretty, swirlling shape.

Ok, I hope that helps. If anyone has any questions, please post! We see many designs that are "almost" what we want but not exactly. Thanks again, everyone!

I am in the process of ranking... will have feedback soon!

New ranking and feedback. We are getting really close here...

I just want to thank everyone for posting designs... even if I didn't have time to leave you feedback, myself and my partners have been very impressed with the talent here and will be using Logo Tournament exclusively for other projects. I recognize the time and effort you all have spent working on this logo, and I am very impressed with the attention to my feedback. At this point, the top 4 ranked designs are "so close but not quite". I have left individual comments. If you have ANY questions or if I need to express my wishes in a different/clearer way, please post! Now is the time!

Thanks everyone!

Four hours left... If anyone has questions please PM me. Thanks!

I have re-ranked with consideration of my partners' input!

Re-ranked according to another partner's input!

Thank you designers! We appreciate all your efforts, time and immense creativity! I had input from the partners today and therefore, did some chopping at the end of ranking. However, we are all very please with our contest results and even though some designs didn't make ranking we were all impressed with the level of skill here!

Thank you all very much!

We are very happy with our results. It was very hard for all of us to choose the winning design, as so many concepts were very different, yet equally good. Thank you again for your efforts and time! We look forward to working with LT again!
