Life DesignLogo Design Contest

Thank you very much for your contribution everyone, we will provide feedback throughout the contest, most likely twice a day!

We are definitely interested in seeing some "3d" looking logos!

*please look at the first rank - the 3D heart - we really would love a 3D not 2D look to all your entries! : ) *

Here's some quote from Life Design to help you!

(Please don't take these too literally - you don't have to "represent/reflect" them with your logos, they are here for inspiration and to give you ideas about the work!)

"When it comes to happiness, perceptions of others are incredibly empowering, because you will very often treat others as you perceive them to be. In this way, you actually start to become your perception of them because you are guided by it!"


"Treat others as if you were treating yourself."

"The answer to life is one. Separation causes difference and conflict. An idea of me and you, where I can escape the consequences of what I do to you."

"You can think of Values like a “Life Compass”. Once your goals are set, your Values will always keep you heading in the right direction.


"Before you go on it’s vital to realise something. Your mind is not you. Your mind is something that you can learn to use exactly as you wish. It is nothing more than an amazing tool, a tool which you can learn to do amazing things with. When your mind doesn’t serve you as you wish, you can change is so it does!"

"The power of perceptions is they allow you to fill the world with the people of your choice. These can be people you hate or that you like, and you get to live with all the problems and benefits of perceiving them either way!
Don’t forget perceptions shape your internal world, and you have to live and respond to that world – no one else!
Perhaps one of the most powerful statements of Life Design is this – You become as the world you perceive around you. Of course you do – it’s all you can see – so it’s all you can respond too!"

Feel free to join us!

To everyone -

Please take a look at our top selections and feedback to help! Once again the Logo Tournament community is doing a great job! : )

Top tips -

* 3d feel
* Unity, love, happiness, empowerment, greatness, potential, abundance,
* Mind, body, spirit (without the logo looking new age or too spiritual - Life Design is for everyone!)
* God, the power of life, the Universe, without religion or such symbols!
* Avoid environmental/nature as being the main theme

Don't be afraid to add more concepts to your designs - at the moment many focus on just one or two aspects or elements of Life Design, go crazy with it and enjoy!

Let's see how a few more complex ones look!

Some more quotes to inspire -

"No one makes you think or feel anything - you do!"

"All events are neutral. You may not always decide what they are, but you can decide their effect on you and what they will become."

"We are creators our our world by moving the invisible to the visible."

"Genius is a habit and comes from how you think about things. Everyone has unlimited genius within them, they just need to learn to release it."

"Life Design will show you that heaven can be experienced on earth. A state of being can be developed where you have everything and want nothing!"

Hi everyone - thank you for your submissions so far.

Just to help everybody along the right lines; we like the multiple colour usage in #58 and we like the 3D looking style of #40 and #18 - we are definitely more interested in submissions along these lines!

Hi everyone, just to keep you informed we have increased the complexity on the slider bars.

So, to summarize now we like:

3D looking logos, colourful, increased complexity - but not just people on the logo.

Logo to the left of the text is the prefered format.

We have uploaded another logo as a good example of the kind of thing we are looking for.

So many great ideas! Genius at work in it's highest form! : )

Thank you all! Keep a close eye on the top rankings to get an idea of what we are loving most!

As general feedback please try and incorporate and morph more elements into your ideas!

New keywords that might help - magical, heaven, paradise, enlightened, universe, connected!

Hey Everyone!

Please avoid plants in the logos!

Thanks!

One designer asked me what's missing so far in most of the logos?

My answer - more energy, more movement, more vibrancy!!

Go wild, create the logo of your dreams!

So many amazing ideas... I wish we could use them all! Looking forward to tomorrow! Good night!

Hey Everyone!

To get an idea of what some extra energy can do - see #13 and how much better it is at #146, #147

To get a good idea of what I mean by energy see this piece of art completed by one of the Life Design Team, to me that is pure energy!

Hey Everyone, would love to see some vibration/resonance on your ideas!

#164 and #165 - the best energy so far! : )

#71 #66 #82 - more energy and vibrancy please! Make them come alive! : )

Hey Everyone! More great work, well done!

Still more energy and movement required in all logos please!!! Go wild, make them move and come alive!!!

Hey Everyone!

The no 1 ranked designer has posted 56 different designs so far! A great effort! It's not by chance they are top, please keep developing your ideas!

Okay, some new inspiration!

We are now asking people to try and incorporate "journey" into their ideas, and to try and say lots (lots of factors about life Design) in as simple a way as they can to see what we come up with!

Hope to see some fresh ideas soon! : )

You can't copy the idea of course, but #101 is an excellent example! It says no much, in a simple way, and represents the journey of life too!

As you can all also see - the top entries have a lot in common

-Heart
-3d feel
-They say more than one thing, the best say 3 or more, but they do it simply!

Just wanted to let you all know Life Design will be a completely free personal development tool!

We will be distributing 40,000 books for free by the end of the year to those in need. Our website will be manned with people helping others with free advice round the clock! We'll also have mp3s, pdfs etc on how to be happier and more empowered in your life!

Our aim is to help as many people as we can for free, because happiness should not be delayed for profit!

Your logo will be seen in time by many millions of people, what you are doing today is a great thing, and we thank you from the bottom and the top of our hearts! : )

Hey Everyone! When representing journey, please avoid roads, but use paths instead!

Top Three Things to Communicate through our Logo: #1 - Love & Happiness & Empowerment
#2 - Unity
#3 - Neutrality

Very nice keep it up guys! Goodluck on the contest

Good morning, pooky. When this contest is over, may I use my withdrawn design as a sample of my artwork for my portfolio? Cheers, Muz :-)

Good morning Muzski, that would be totally fine with us :) No need to ask.
We are hoping however that you are able to re-submit your artwork, or that you will be able to continue participating - as you contributed a lot of work to the contest.

Cheers pooky. I enjoyed taking part. I have submitted again, but I do not feel it is as powerful as before. The clock is ticking, and trying to think of a new original idea, minus the obvious elements, is hard going. I am afraid to design anything that infringes on another designers design. 2 days to go! We shall see. Many fingers crossed, Muz :-)

Hi Muzski,
No need to hold back, just keep your positive attitude :) At the very least, you will have gotten better at designing in the process!

Ps. The new submission doesn't appear to have come through yet, I will hard refresh again shortly.

Cheers, will do, pooky.

Last design was an attempt at Life Design capitals 'LD'. Something diff. :-)

Hello everyone!

This is what we would like to do with this contest now. Logo Tournament has officially "OKed" this. We appreciate everybody's hard work and think it would be a shame if these logos weren't seen, so we had an idea. We now need 10 Life Design logos for our project. The first place logo will be Life Design's main logo, the default that goes on all of our material - but members of our website will be able to select their own logo from a choice of 10!

1st place: $800
2nd place: $300
3rd place: $200
4th-10th place: $100

We may also pick up other outstanding logos if any crop up.
Anyone who agrees to participate in this is welcome, but of course it is at your discretion - if you do not want to sell us a logo that is in the top 10, please let us know now or at the end of the contest, and we will omit your logo from the draw.

These are the 10 possible categories the logos could fall into:
Heart, Love
Energy
Positivity
Unity, people
Comical, fun, lighthearted
Natural
Spiritual
Corporate
Scientific looking
Religious looking

We hope everyone enjoys this new opportunity to have your work shown and appreciated!

I'm back. Many thanks to Husk (new friend). :-)

Great news muzski! Glad everything is sorted! Thanks Husk, and great to have you back! : )

Just in case anyone missed it - we want to ensure that by and large everyone gets a reward for working on this great project - here's our idea -

Hey All,

Thanks for so many great new entries! There is still a $100 up for grabs in these areas we feel with only a few or no entries - why not grab yourself an easy $100?

Scientific looking (e.g. molecules, atoms, brain, biology, physics, universe.)
Religious looking (e.g. all religious symbols combined, God,)
Comical/Fun (e.g. light hearted, laughter, smiles, cartoons)

Thanks and good luck!
