Our Ideas & Additional Information
We've really like the idea of creating a mascot or character out of this logo, so whatever character is created it needs to be something we can have on other merchandising, a few ideas we'd had were around a stylised face and we'd noticed that you can form a face from the word Mojo, with the characters being different elements of a face, possibly surrounded by some border to create an instantly recognisable character. e.g. below (and this is only an example!)

M
OjO

We would like to see the logo/mascot preceding or succeeding, above or below the name 'OpenMojo'. we want to be able to use the character and/or words on their own if needed. We'd like to be able to have the logo and character displayed in a variety of situations (like on T shirts) and like the idea that people have instant recognition even though the company name isn't displayed.

We really are open to ideas though, so if there is something different you think would work then go for it!

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".

just a general comment to everyone that an important part of the brief is not only to create a face, but to give it some character as well, with some personality :)

keep them coming!

Hi. there are a few entries wiht background colours. very happy to see those as it gives us a different perspective on images (can see coloured backgrounds as the colour of T-Shirts for example!).

as long as the layer is separable, so we can use a white/transparent background as well, we wont give any negative marks to pictures with coloured backgrounds unless they detract from the text in such a way as to reduce the overall effect of the logo

hope that helps!

Hi designers. just to draw peoples attention to the brief. we would love to see something where the character is separate to the company name (appreciate that would sort of read "openmojo mojo")

the stylised face also does not necessarily need to be human, if you want to experiment with animals, e.g. a monkey maybe they would be interesting to see!

Thanks!

hi everyone, signing off for today in the uk (its 11pm)

just wanted to say thanks to those that have added new entries today, theres been a great variety and friends and family are impressed by all the designs so far!

general feedback has been that there is not enough 'character' in some of the faces, and the 'Open' part of the logo is suffering because the focus is on the 'Mojo' bit.

thats a fault of the brief i guess given we said we wanted a face in the mojo! still something to keep in mind!

everyone has had personal feedback as far as i can tell, if i have missed anyone, please PM us and we will get back to you.

happy designing!

hi everyone. thanks for the designs over the evening, lots of different ones coming in which is really getting us to think different!

we would like to see some variation in the fonts, maybe having something which portrays the fun a bit more. maybe have the Open more 'corporate' and the Mojo more 'fun/geeky/surf/retro' style

so examples might be some from below. not saying these are the ones to use, but as examples....!

searches were done for Surf or geek font if you want to follow these back!

the idea is that we are capable and experienced, but we have fun as well!

we have had lots of entries so to make life easier for us all, we are moving some designs into not interested. not saying they are no good, but for now there are some great ones to work with!

Thanks!

thanks everyone, we have been getting some really dramatic and interesting entries which have been great to discuss and see how they would work for us.

one thing we would like is to see some interesting fonts below the really interesting logo/characters we are starting to see!

we would like to see a corporate style Open and Fun font Mojo as some variation on a single font style...

We will be commenting for individual designers over the next few hours!

Thanks

hi everyone, thanks for the new designs! never considered how intensive the process is or how if your working with really great designs and designers how you can bounce ideas of each other!

i've left individual comments for most, particulalry where someone has updated or made revisions.

please dont take the not interested pile personally, we just have loads of great designs to work on and need to focus on a few!

happy designing for the last 2 days!!!!
