Press Play EntertainmentLogo Design Contest

#1
Here's an idea to get your contest started.

I think Entry #2 is on the right page, I am looking for something with a little more excitement if possible.

#67
This "cool DJ" could also be used as a stand alone icon.

#91 and # 92
DJ with sound waves.

Can you make the entertainment in #80 a little bigger, not much, but a tad?

I've made the revisions you requested, but during this stage of your contest, only the first place designer has the ability to submit entries. So, in order for me to upload the revisions, you will need to move me into first place (you can move designers in and out of first place to receive revisions).

Thanks.

#104
Entertainment a tad bigger.

#105
Entertainment a smidgen more than a tad bigger =)

#106
Just a little larger.

For comparison, I've also uploaded entries with "entertainment" in gray.

Please let me know if you'd like further revisions.

Definitely like the bigger entertainment. Can you play with the font style a little? I like what you have, but want it maybe a little more crisp, maybe one of the words in gray.

Sure thing!

I'll get to work on using different fonts, and hopefully you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback so I'll know if I'm heading the right direction.

(I'll start with keeping the existing font, but changing one of the words to gray)

#114, #116

Are either of these fonts on track?

In place of the gradient coloring, I've used a bit of a highlight/reflection. If you prefer the gradient, just let me know and I'll revise.

I also made a change to the font used for "entertainment." If you prefer the original one, I can swap them out.

I like the way 116 looks. Can you show an example of the gradient?

Will do. Also, I just uploaded #117.

#118, #119

Here is #116 with a gradient applied to play (with and without the reflection).

Of course, I like them both. Not a fan of #117, too cartoonish.

Can you also play around with the equalizer style, maybe a little more rectangular than curved?

If I am being too annoying, let me know. Thanks.

No worries...I will get to work on the equalizer.

#120, #121
With non-curved rectangles.

#122
Just for fun, I lightened the reflections on the headset in order to make the sunglasses stand out more.

#123 - Thinner rectangles.

#124, #125 - Merged into a circle.

Hey,

Great work on the logo. Thanks for your help. Is there any way you can give me the color codes you used?

Hello,

My web guy is a little concerned with the quality of the logo...please see below.

The logo looks as if it was built very small (.7333" wide x .532" high), using masked raster files for the gradients (and some rather odd construction methods).

instead of a handful of simple vector-based geometric shapes - this was constructed with dozens of nested, masked, raster files. Why?

in the type and the arrow you can see the "bit-mappy" appearance and lose ends going beyond the underlying art.

Is there anyway to fix these issues? When blown up or printed out the logo doesnt look clean

I work in two different programs - Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw (both are vector-based programs). This particular logo was created solely with CorelDraw.

I'm currently at the office and the files for your logo are at home. I suspect I simply missed a step while converting the file to eps. (which would make it look bit-mappy). I apologize for this inconvenience, but unfortunately, I rushed to upload the files before leaving the house this morning.

I sent you a private message earlier with the cmyk codes...please reply to that PM and provide your email address so I can get you clean copies.

Again...many apologies for the delay.

Peggy
