samplingskungen.seLogo Design Contest

I think we need a king or a crown to make it represent the company name. A symbol that we will be able to use even without the text sometimes would be really nice. But the reason that I’m having this contest is that I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for, so please be far out, the only thing I’m sure of is that the logo shouldn’t be boring... thanks for all suggestions and good luck.

Hi Everyone!

And first of all, thanks for all nice suggestions. I’m more and more sure that a king in person is maybe the way to do it. The thing I miss most in the logo now is that the sampling aspect is not portrayed obvious enough. Sampling is in our business a word for giving or free samples or flyers. Maybe the king can sample or something like that…

Looking forward to your suggestions

Hi again everyone!

The more I think about it the more I want it to be a bit tacky. It's supposed to be fun and a bit extravagant... to show that we are “the king” but not to serious about it, if it makes sense…

I’m also much funned of everything that feels three-dimensional with shadows and so on to get some feeling of depth in the logo.

Hi, and thanks for all the work you all are putting in to this contest.

I just realized that I didn't check the emblem option in the brief, now I’ve changed that so If anybody wants to try an emblem it would be very fun to see.

...and one more thing!

If you have a really good idea you shouldn’t listen to all my ideas on how I want it! I promise that I will appreciate a good design when I see it :-)

actually isnt there a difference between a kings crown and a queens croown/ i see loads of designs with a queens crown ranked!!

That is not so important what kind of crown it is. What I’m looking for is a logo with a nice composition and an all over nice, fun and good looking layout.

And by the way, I'm not interested in any logos looking like the Swedish flag or its colors.

I really like all of the top ranked logos, all of them have different strengths and weaknesses but not one of them has get blown me away. Soo please look at the top rank, read my comments and make more new entries because Theres still an opportunity for me to change my mind...

And many thanks to all of you for all the work you’re putting in this competition!

How are you doing ? hope you are doing great. As this contest is about to come to an end, and you will be chosing the best new logo for your company, i just wanted to have your attention to some important point that you might be aware of or might not. I hope i am not miss understood by pointing out this to you and that you understand.

When the contest ends and you have made your mind and desicion about the winner logo, the winner gets the 1st place, but the 2nd and 3rd place and going on forward, 4th, 5th, 6th , etc , each one or slot should be filled with a seperate designer and different concept you found second best, third best to follow etc.

This helps towards us designers ranking and also it is a way from you to show your appreciation to the hard effort and trails put from the beginning by one designer or appreciating a nice design concept put earlier by a designer that led to developing on right direction for others and you getting the best you could at the end.

It feels frasturating for other designers and pointless of giving all the top rankings for same winner designer, while those were just a small variations of the winning design and therefore the other places 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc are not filled with different designs from a different designer.

So i hope you understood my point i was just trying to point out to you here and all the best of luck in chosing your winner logo, there are really good ones out there.

Best Regards,

Kareem "

good luck to all .... good contest
