LocalRaveLogo Design Contest

I'm excited to get this contest started and work with you designers. Please let me know if you have any questions. I like an idea of:
5 stars, like a review
#1 raving fan foam hand (web 2.0 style)
Google maps marker
Rave= to talk endlessly, to be enthusiastic

Just run with it, you guys are the experts.

Cheers,

Jesse

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.

Hey guys - this contest is going well. I like everyone's concepts.
The only thing I'd like to see more of is the idea of people talking about a local business, a place on a map.
The map idea alone sort of feels like I offer mapping services or location based services.

If you can all create the idea and customers excited and raving about a business. What I'm trying to say is that my business drives customers in the door. If someone hires me, I'll really make their phone ring with customers. I'll get them on the first page of search engines. I'm excited. One day left!!! I'll leave feedback all day.

Thank you everyone for the ideas and entries. I will rank all designs, I'm trying to sort the concepts out and find which I prefer the most. Thanks for the nice work.
I would like to keep a human feel to it, i.e., mouth, person, speech bubble, etc.

I'm really enjoying this contest and I appreciate all the effort you guys are putting into this.
I'm still open to new ideas BUT...
As everyone can see from my top ten choices so far, I'm leaning more towards a person, speech bubble, talking, etc. feel. The local side of this design can be secondary. So any way of adding the idea of "getting more customers" for a brick and mortar business is bonus!

Target market is business owners and I want them to know that they'll get more customer=more revenue.

I will rank every design.

Thanks

I just want to thank everyone of you designers for contributing your entries to this contest. This is a really great community and you should be proud of the work you do. God bless!
