Logo Design Contest
Contests / Sermon Browser

Sermon Browser has selected their winning logo design.

For $350 they received 90 designs from 15 different designers from around the world.

Logo Design Brief

Client
United Kingdom
What We Do
A wordpress plugin that allows churches to simply upload sermons to their Wordpress website, where they can be searched, listened to, and downloaded.
Industry
Religious
Color Preferences
The current colour is #2277DD, which I quite like, but I am very happy for any other suggestions.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
IMPORTANT: At the end of the content I will need TWO different copies of the logo. The first will be the one described here. The second will be identical, but with the words "Preaching Central" in place of "Sermon Browser".

Preaching Central will be a website where sermons from the Sermon Browser plugin will be listed.

It's therefore important that the Sermon Browser logo conveys a message about Preaching and Sermons, NOT about Wordpress or being a plugin.

Some general comments on the entries so far:

I like the more 'active' logos which give the impression of listening/speaking.

I like the blue, but it doesn't have to be blue. I don't like the combination of blue/yellow.

Any imagery that is used should related directly to the concept of a sermon, e.g. a bible, a puplit, a preacher. Other 'religious' imagery is not wanted, though a cross can perhaps be useful to stop a bible looking like an ordinary book.

Let me add some more thoughts to help designers. As I mentioned above, I like logos which visualise listening/speaking. The 'soundwaves' element does this well, but please don't feel restricted to that. Other design elements that I'd want to consider would be 'play' buttons, headphones, mp3 player or microphone, or anything else you feel conveys that concept.

Just a note on ranking: #58 #25 and #26 are all roughly tied at the moment, but of course I can't do that! #17 and #1 could join them with just a little something extra. Other designers looking to emulate their success should note that I like the Web 2.0 feel, and those subtle gradient and 3D effects are what I'm looking for.

I'm sorry, Mary, I don't agree. Hardly any designers have entered both contents, and even those who have are producing different logos.

Thanks for all the terrific entries. It will be a hard time judging. At the moment, it is very likely one of the logos currently ranked 1-3 will win, but which one, I really don't know! Those ranked 4-8 are also in with a shout.

Thanks for the great contest - there were some really great logos there, and it was a shame I couldn't award a prize to the top three entries. But I had to choose a winner, and zero5150 came up with just the right combination of simple elements in a great looking design.
