next directorLogo Design Contest

Hi,

I should have mentioned that the first application of the logo will be a small 'tile' on the discussion forum. The permitted sizes for the tile are:

100x50 pixels; PNG, JPEG, GIF; max size 100 KB

60x30 pixels; PNG, JPEG, GIF; max size 100 KB

This is the smallest applicable size of the logo, which may influence your design style. The logo will also need to be visually appealing on larger items such as stationary, mugs, t-shirts etc...

Thank you very much and good luck!

Michael

#1 Thank you for your submission. I like look and can see what you are doing with the stylised 'X''. It looks like a person (aspiring director) either jumping up (Toyota style) or being 'lifted up'. I don't know what the font is, but I like it and it works well in lower case as you have used it. I would be interested in seeing the 'next' in some different colour options as well if possible.

Thank you again for a great submission. I like it a lot.

#2 Thank you for this submission. Again, I like the stylised 'X' and can see the connection with a 'community of directors' each helping each other up the ladder so to speak.

I wonder, given the size limitation for the intended first application (100x50 pixels; PNG, JPEG, GIF; max size 100 KB and 60x30 pixels; PNG, JPEG, GIF; max size 100 KB) if the 'three exes' image above the text will reduce the text too much and make it hard to read? I do not want to deter you from this concept because I actually really like it too. I wonder if the image and text can be re-organised to use space more efficiently given the constraints of the initial application of the design. Please take a look at www.linkedin.com and have a look at the groups and symbols used to get an idea of the environment that the logo will initially be used in.

Many thanks for your submissions. I think that they both look really good. I look forward to some additional entries so that I have more to compare against.

#1 I have had a further thought about this logo and the size constraints of the first intended application:

100x50 pixels; PNG, JPEG, GIF; max size 100 KB and
60x30 pixels; PNG, JPEG, GIF; max size 100 KB)

What would it look like if there was an 'x-type' logo image to the left as an anchor-point for the eye and then the word 'next' above the word 'director'?

This request is due the the size restrictions placed by LinkedIn.com Please take a look at www.linkedin.com and have a look at the groups and symbols used to get an idea of the environment that the logo will initially be used in.

Thanks again. Michael

#3 Thank you for your design. I think that the compact shape and putting the 'next' above 'director' really works but I am sorry I found the reverse text and capitalisation too hard to read on the word NEXT. I am not sure that the colours all worked together that well. I am sorry.

#4 Again, I like the compact shape and putting the 'next' above 'director' but I am sorry I found the reverse text and capitalisation difficult to read.

#7 Thank you for your submission. I am sorry. It does not quite capture what I had in mind. All the best. Thank you.

Michael you can leave a personal feedback when you klick on a design.
Cheers

Hi Arsene. I believe that these logos will be too hard to read in reverse capitals given the size constraint of the intended first application. Please note my first comment in the Contest Discussion. Thank you for your submission.

is that kez?thats kez!

what are you on about James?

kez! actually kes! the film about a boy from Yorkshire England who befriends a kestrel. Mr fields the ch has it as his avatar. It got me excited (I don't know why?)

Hi Marzy. The image is some beautiful street art that I photographed in Fitzroy Melbourne. I have a passion for capturing random acts of art such as graffiti, stenciling and urban art in general. I did not know the inspiration for the piece so I will have to take a look at the movie now! Thanks for the tip!

I thought it was a bird next to the boy, is it actually stencil art?
I like the look of stencil art, I've done few on canvas myself, love the effect of it.
Its getting more common around the cities of Australia too.
I have a friend who has a book devoted to it, can't remember the name of it.
Its from the UK too.

Yes, stencil art in laneway in Fitzroy Melbourne. I had a close look when I photographed it. It was 'layered' stencil art with grey and black. I have hundreds of such photographs from Australia (mostly Melbourne), UK and some from Italy also.

to all guys: note that case idea is mine:)

Roktiv #103 - super idea. (охуенно)

i agree

Congrats bluejet!
