MennisLogo Design Contest

Good luck to all entrants and a big thank you to everyone who does get involved. I have seen plenty of brilliant concepts on LT and I am confident you guys can pull through for me in this case also. My goal is to provide you all with constant feedback and up-to-date ratings in order to get the desired result.

Can we please steer clear of any grunge-like element? Entry #1 is a good start but minus the green grunge area. Also, we require a symbol to accompany the wordmark (unique M shape or other abstract symbol).

The symbol used in entry #2 and #3 is heading on the right track. Not necessarily what we are after but definitely a good starting point.

Thank you for your entries so far. At the moment there isn't too much standing out. We do like the look of the wordmark in entry #1 but we would also like to see a nice symbol to accompany the wordmark (minus the grunge). It may also be worth noting that our name 'Mennis' resembles that of the word menace (a person or thing that is likely to cause harm; a threat or danger; is a menace to society)

Hello! 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-monitary means of showing apprecaition for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

I like the sharp look of #27 and #50. Please take a look at the Unit Logo which uses sharp aspects in both the wordmark and symbol: http://www.unitriders.com/images/logo.png

Please feel free to ask any questions that may help you with your designs.

Thank you to everyone who entered. I liked several of the designs and I wish you could all share the money somehow. I appreciate your time and effort and will certainly be back here again if I need some design work.
