PaperlabsLogo Design Contest

#1, #2 - thanks for reading the brief Luckykid, you're heading in the right direction! Are you able to provide variations on this one? Specifically, we're looking for a puppy that our visitors can relate to, either cute or with attitude, something with a little bit of character. Maybe rotated towards the viewer a little more... those are just some ideas.

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 will 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 the Designers' hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

#9 #12 Like the dog, though it could be mistaken for a squatting position; we don't like "labs" in bold, we'd like the word to be in the same font
#4, like the dog, a little too big and the effect on letters is neat but overdone - maybe just a single letter could be folded out of paper?
#5 Like this direction

Some more general feedback: when it comes to dogs and attitude we like Zynga and Sirius mascots. If possible, try to show the dog in perspective, not just side or face on.

Notes to everyone:
- can you keep Paperlabs (or paperlabs if it works for your font) in the same weight and colour, don't separate "labs" visually.

#16 #17 - like this but it's starting to look too similar to Zynga logo. Also, it doesn't really look like a labrador, if it did it might not look like Zynga's dog :)
#19 Can you make the dog smaller and to the left of the text, similar to #11?
#3 same comment - can you make the version with the smaller dog? Also can you make it look more like a labrador?

I notice all of the submissions focused on origami, which might be a hard concept to crack, here's some more techniques that could portray a paper labrador:

Admin Note: Contest Extended. Client requested more time.

Thanks for your patience and so many cool concepts, we have the last focus group tomorrow to give us some final thoughts.

We finally picked our winner by soliciting feedback from many of our potential customers - thank you all for helping us get there. As a thank you, each entrant can get any of our future products for free, we hope to get them up in a month or two.

Congrats Nancy!
