Hardcore GeniousLogo Design Contest

#1. I like the </nerd> because it implies the end of thinking 'nerdy' people aren't hot or sexy, but the HG is just a little too simplistic. Its a good start though.

Defiantly digging the designs : ) However keep in mind the company is Hardcore Genious with an "O" added to it

I really like the concepts you are putting up keep them coming! The skull and cross bones #9 concept is great but a little too playful for our taste.

The nerdy guy with the h g glasses #5 and #8 is brilliant as well but just doesn't seem to fit, however I'm considering it for a blog I have : )

Last but certainly not least! The nerdy girl with the Hardcore Genious text below #19... love it! Tweek the text a little bit and show me some samples of it with some other fonts. You've defiantly struck gold. It's simple and memorable. But if you have any unrelated ideas please through them out there I dont want you too get too focused on one design yet : )

Again great job and good luck : )

#3 looks good make the font all caps and see how that looks

#2 is simple and appealing but does not convey what we are about. Dig it though, looks like it would be great for a dating site.

#6 and #7 are off to a good start but if you could add a memorable symbol it would be even better.

#18 and #10 good start keep working : )

#11 is way too simple. Not memorable. Can't just be all text a couple of boxes...

The eyes glasses and hair look great! If you could touch up the shoulders and chin a little bit to make it look less sketched that's be awesome! I like the ark of the text on top but try to straighten it out on the bottom. Over all love #32 feel free to create another deviation if you're feeling creative, but you're defiantly on the right track : )

#33 is awesome! add ".com" towards the right side, under the arch of the "genious" text

#36 we're trying to convey a more nerdy look with an edge, not bondage lol good try though

#42 looks good but the face to too rounded and the smile kind throws me off.

#49 is bloody amazing. It is PERFECT for a shirt or other swag. And it would look great as a watermark as well. (Btw, there are two of us so that might explain different statements and talking styles if anyone was wondering.) The Font is amazing for the logo. It screams classy but also has a distinct "badassness" to it as well.

#28 Im REALLY starting to like. I was playing around with the logo idea on a keychain and a few other things small and it works really well. Its simple, clean and gets the basic jist of the company across without being too flashy. Maybe try it with a different font? Im not great with font types but maybe try it with a font that kinda looks like handwriting and lets see how it looks.

All of the logos are stellar and they just keep getting better. Keep fighting for the top spot. Im sure this will be a VERY close and extremely hard decision. And you never know. You may not win but we might still be able to work something out if we really like your logo for something other than the main logo.

Hi! I saw your note concerning the GENIOUS with an "O" - I entered #36 and it was deleted. Just wondering if it was because of the incorrect spelling of you name or design?

Also, I'm sure you know that GENIUS is the correct spelling.
GENIOUS is actually misspelled. It is a common mistake - just wondering if you did it on purpose????

Yes, the misspelling is on purpose. It was our intent to further add depth to our name. Search "genious" on urban dictionary to get a good explanation. Any design that is not currently in the running is because the design did not appeal to us or just didn't make the cut.

Your design in particular did not include all of the aspects we were looking for, you posted something that looked goth. It is a good design but you didn't keep the other things we were looking for. Primarily nerdy, adult entertainment, cosplay. Not to mention it didn't coincide with some of the other attributes we had asked for.

Hope this helps : )
