Hey guys, Nice to see you running another contest here...
So, I could be jumping to conclusions here, but I thought perhaps this game involved being president so that influenced the design of my logo, Entry #22. If I am way off base here, let me know and I can always just drop in a bunch of equally sized stars instead of having one big one with a figure inside of it.
Also, as I am sure you are already aware: you don't want to get too close to that logo you referenced, or you could run into some copyright issues. You might be ok right now, since your top logo doesn't have the jagged edges but it's pretty close. Just something to be aware of, depending on how some of these logos evolve from here. I don't want to deter you from picking any of them, but I also didn't want you to be caught off guard should any problems arise later.
Hit me back with any thoughts, comments, criticisms, etc. Thanks!
And then, as you can see, the white border will allow for it to look great on pretty much any color you wish (from facebook blue to navy to white)... #24
Hey there! Yes, I do like what you've done with the large star on #22. We want the wording to stand out most of all, so perhaps make them larger than the shield? Good point on the copyright issue and we are taking it into consideration for sure!
A good test for whichever logo you choose would be to copy the small preview off of this site. Then shrink that down and drop it into a facebook app side bar or something similar, so that you can make sure it will be legible at all sizes. I know sometimes facebook game icons can get pretty shrunk down.
I think I finally made a logo that I can call "complete" that I love and am 100% happy with! --> #62
I combined elements from my previous designs with more of the look of the one you referenced, and then I put a neck tie on the president figure in my design.
Can you try different letters? Like #27 has lettering that looks a little more plump and has strong gradients. Also, maybe a white outline around the whole thing? Like http://goo.gl/hjdM3
Not sure why all of my designs got pulled, as none of them directly resembled the logo they are talking about. Perhaps they will straighten this out soon and let most of the logos back in.
I'm not sure. These new entries are appreciated. Please see my notes as to the new direction. #100 is very cool. Whereas you have a silver gradient, we'd like to see stars and stripes filling the letters. then maybe a silver gradient (transparent of course) overlay.
Now we need to work on making it so that we can read the text. A white strioke around the letters, perhaps? At small size, everyone should be able to read it"
I think a stars/stripes flag pattern over the letters will make it harder to read at smaller sizes. But, I did try out some additional color options, so that it really pops and is legible at even small sizes: #115, #116, #117
Personally, I like #116 the best, but that is just my personal opinion. I like the text and tie better in this particular version.
I agree it looks nice. #116. It doesn't yet have that "Facebook Game" feel to it though. I'm not loving the outer "glow/shadow".. It would be more consistent if all the "holes" in the letters matched. Like the A, P, D, O -- you know, inside the letter holes (not sure what to call it!).
Your entries are much appreciated! Keep up the great work!
We need you to do one more concept for us. We want to see a concept with "PRESIDENT NATION" lettering in 3D like these stars, and also use stars in 3D just like this: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-5534890-stars.php?st=943e4c2 We think this will solve the issue with all of our chosen logos getting deleted by Logotournment and allow us to finally select another winner. Please let me know when it's done so I can move you to the winning spot and you can upload your concepts and any variations you can bring to the table! Thank you very much!
No problem. Just giving you a heads up: I will likely not finish this before I leave for my ball game, so I would probably have it wrapped up later this evening. I will drop you a message here once it's 100% done and ready for upload!
Hi! In 158, is there a way to simplify it? There's a lot going on, perhaps too much if you know what I mean. Maybe different style for the font. Perhaps a clean serif font? Or sans-serify display font that is "presidential" looking? Hope that makes sense!
