Podcast Launch AcceleratorLogo Design Contest

I was surprised in this phase you attached file using my idea "rocket microphone" in public. Really not fair

I do like the font, the mic, even the soft curve at the base of the mic, plus the added color, but the circles resemble flower petals to me. A little too feminine.

How about this one?

That's a good idea. Let's try a real microphone and less abstract. Some feedback from others were it's cool and abstract, but other designs were easier to understand.

i wondering do you wanted looks like real microphone?

Thank you for your revisions. I like this one the best out of the new versions.
(The others were starting to look like molar teeth.. They were starting to remind me of root canals :) ) I'll be running surveys & getting feedback from others now.

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for considering my artwork so far, i have uploaded new revisions.

Hi Hibban,

I am in the NYC area and see that you are based in Singapore, so we are on opposite time schedules. I'm going to sleep soon here, so I'll try to check back early in my morning. If you have revisions by then, I'll respond ASAP. Thank you so much! Have a great day!

This is a very masculine logo. Our audience is probably only 60% male / 40% female.

I mean can you soften or round the bottom of the mic so the end points are less sharp.

And I like that you made the mic in #92 look 3-dimensional. I wondered if you could do something similar to this version, but with a different texture.

what happened?

Hi Hibban, are you able to soften the microphone a little bit? I also liked the 3D effect you added to #92. Just not the steely texture. Thank you!

My partner is finding this version a bit too harsh... He says the end of the mic makes him think of a fork. And the "podcast" font makes him think of Transformers.

i like that there is texture and a 3-dimensional quality to the mic, but it's looking a little too cold and steely.

#56 is my favorite so far, now that the icon has been morphed to look like a mic, the little ball (once the person's head) doesn't make sense anymore. Very interesting and cool to watch the design morph.

This logo looks "bad ass"! It's my favorite so far. I like how edgy and powerful it comes across. Before I have you tweak it any further, I want to check with my partner and make sure he's on the same page with me. Thank you!

I have uploaded the revisions.

I keep coming back to this one because I love how it pops and is quickly recognizable. I just don't know about the black background.

Also, can I see this version with the word "podcast" in black and "launch accelerator" in the red-orange color? "Launch accelerator" is a little difficult to read.

Hi again, Can I please see a version of this logo in the same layout as #23? Thank you!

I prefer the word "podcast" and "launch accelerator" not be the same color.

I'm moving some of your older submissions to "not interested" only because I prefer the new symbol... the old symbol slightly resembles a power button or a socket.

Thanks again for the new batch of submissions. So far I like this version the best. It's a much more powerful symbol, while the other one was cuter. And cute was not exactly what we were going for. The little man figure now is also slightly reminiscent of a microphone. Do you think you can try to make it look even more like a microphone? Perhaps a bigger red ball? If not a bigger red ball, perhaps curved lines that symbolize sound waves reverberating outward.

Sure, please check #30 #31

Hi again, can we please see this logo on a white background? Thank you!

Thanks for the quick revisions. I prefer the little guy blasting off at an angle in this version. Also like that you made the word podcast bigger & in the orange-red color.

I just done the revisions. #22 #23

I like that the word podcast is larger here. Can you try italicizing "launch accelerator"? Thank you!

I like the little guy blasting off. In general though, I'd like to see the word "podcast" bigger, rather than the word "accelerator". Perhaps "podcast on its line, with "launch accelerator" on another line.

Thanks for the new batch of submissions. This one takes a bit of work for the mind to grasp. Too much going on. Not a fan of the black border though I know you were trying to mimic the Inspire Nation logo. The black border for Inspire Nation helps it pop on iTunes. Not necessary for these logos.

Thank you for your feedback, i have uploaded new designs, let me know what do you think?

Though I like the concept of how the bands are suppose to be radiating outward, I prefer the edginess of your other symbols. It's closer to our Inspire Nation logo, but somehow the bands don't seem to radiate enough. They feel a little too contained.

Still pretty cool with the color bands, though it's a far departure from our current Inspire Nation logo.

I like this much better than your first submission, but it appears you may be referencing the wrong logo. It's suppose to be the INSPIRE NATION logo, not the Stitcher logo. We are re-uploading the Inspire Nation logo file.

Like how "accelerator" is italicized. Also like the splash of color in the arrow design; however, it looks a little too much like the end of an arrow (as in "bow and arrow"). Needs a symbol that makes people think audio or listen. Thank you!
