Our Ideas & Additional Information
Abstract Mark
A built of "Blocks" theme is one possible way to go for the abstract mark (or the other types for that matter) in that regard we are not tied to square blocks or a finished square as the structure but it's a starting point, using puzzle pieces, Lego blocks, or any other type of objects is acceptable. Outer translucency and inner glows are also themes we also think might work as well as possible motion for this type of mark. The structure can be finished or in progress, be as creative use you like so long as the "block" metaphor is used in some way

Couple of very basic ideas attached these are not what we want just the closes we could find on net for a general idea, therefore do not feel constrained to follow those patterns.

Other types
As far as the other types of marks you can use above for guidance or go a completely different way, for word representations one or two colors is acceptable.

NOTES:

Images should be a vector graphic using Adobe Illustrator so that we can easily scale it, the finished product should look good on a white or black background, if you are building an abstract mark keep in mind that lower resolutions (such as 32x32 and 16x16) should at least be recognizable

Thanks!

What a great contest, we are judging and will decide shortly. For the most part we have enjoyed working with all the great creative professionals.

We received some fantastic entries and are way beyond where we started or where we thought we would finish, again thanks to all the participants!

Here is a general comment for all designers. Please don't put too much weight on the rankings of the top design at this early point. While we may put something in a top spot it may be to signal that we like an aspect of it but does not mean we are completely sold on the overall logo (although we like aspect of all the the leading designs).

Please remember we are a bunch of tech geeks not designers and we are doing our best to provide guidance through our comments. I would encourage you to feel free to ask us about a design idea through PM or in these comments if you wish to get clarity before spending time. We value your time and don't want to waste it.

In general about the translucent effect (we are not saying we need this, but when applied here are some examples to guide ) Go to Shutterstock and take a look at these links - here are some examples for the blue transparencies (ignore shape and reflections etc we are not asking to duplicate this, just the general effect) but it is what we are looking for ---

If we ask for changes and they are not made we will be re-ranking the entries, this is not a reflection on the concept but the implementation.

If you cannot re-work them for whatever reason please let us know

Also we will be removing near-duplicates to keep the workplace clean (we appreciate the work and this is not an indication that we don't appreciate the effort)

So I guess 'blocks' are out and circular stuff is it?

No not at all, it's just that a lot of the work on the spheres has been very nice, in the original post on design we stated we don't lean towards a specific shape, we just had a starting point with the blocks since our technology is called nebulablocks - if that can get incorporated that's great but if it doesn't work that's ok to.

I think what is happening is as we give input someone hits a chord and it happens to be a "Sphere" component, this goes high in the ranking and then everyone switches to spheres, but in reality it was the execution of all the component parts (N for branding, good color combo, nice 3d effect) not the sphere itself per se.

For instance 24 was an interesting entry but it looked too flat to us, same for some of the other block entries, a similar approach to the sphere concept might do even better (multi-layered 3d'ish shape (block or whatever) with N extruding)

We would also like the designers to know that we will consider using the winner of the contest for further thematic work such as printed material layouts, PP templates, Web Components etc.

CLARIFICATION: We are not enamored with Spheres, use whatever shapes you would like, what matters to us is

A. Branding - which can happen in two ways that we can think of, blocks (our technology is called Nebula Blocks) or a stylized letter or word, if you can combine the two extra points so far no one has done that just quire right from our perspective but there have been some really good tries and we hope those designers will continue to modify their work

B. We are finding the more refined 3d constructs to work well and or Dynamic (implied motion), again points for both but either will do

C. Color combination's - we are tending to lean towards complimentary colors for the energy they bring vs. harmonious combination's which are a bit more static

Hope that helps a bit

We have asked for a number of mods on some of the designs that have not shown up as of yet (if the request was recent please ignore this those requests are not included)

Since we have not heard back from those designers we will be removing these entries shortly since we assume the mod's can't be done.

Thanks

Ignore the rankings, we are just re-orienting and evaluating, means nothing for the moment

Ok rankings are more or less done

Also removing black versions, we see they work and need to clean up space for our final compare

A lot of people jumped in during the last two hours, some of these designs had merit but we had no chance to give our input or work with the designers, to those people we would suggest participating at least 3-4 days.
