Solution AuctionsLogo Design Contest

All,
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9 are all in letter forms and I cant say that I like any of them really. I just dont believe 'sa' do this site justice. We need to express emotions. We need to sell a feeling with this logo design. I think perhaps we should try abstract and / or pictorial marks that express this kind of feelings:

-To the buyers of this site we are selling the kind of feeling you get when you find something valuable, something hard to find...the feeling you get after the end of searching and frustration....finally something that is relevant to the search and is put together professionally by someone who is willing to back it up with their reputation. No more chaotic bits and pieces of free answers scattered all over the internet. Ah...what is that feeling? Show me that feeling in your design. I can't feel that in any of these right now.

Thanks
Joey

All,
Lets focus on the feelings I described above and lets not forget the tag line. I would prefer conveying the feelings described above with the tag line and not without it/

Thanks
Joey

We need a logo that clearly shows the symbol of value. People who visit our site can find value in terms of saving time or finding answers that is not available anywhere else. What is the symbol for that? And, what are the associated feelings?

That should be our main focus for this logo design.
thanks
Joey

All,
I really like #17 because it has all the right elements except the slogan! Let me explain:
* The guy in blue is showing emotions with the arms up and looks happy as if he is celebrating something
* Behind him there is timer, not a clock but a timer suggesting measured time. The color of the timer is yellow/orange which is the color of gold associated with the color of value. One can see that perhaps the blue guy is happy because of saving time....Nice!
* Solution Auctions beneath the image comes with some sporty color combination suggesting excitement and perhaps some fun. These are all the right emotions we want to show. Fantastic really.

So the only problem is the slogan now because it does not match any of the above. So I think for a logo like this I would like to change the slogan to say: "Stop Searching and Save Time"

The competition is not over. Now that you know what works lets make it better....
Cheers
Joey

All,
I love #35 because it has taken the emotions further and made them more clear and more relevant. The colorful bubbles behind the blue guy show that he is coming from somewhere far as if though he has been searching for a long time and now he has stopped searching. Because he clearly looks happy with arms up celebrating and embracing the clock. That depicts the slogan very well and I love it.

Now the question is how it would actually look when pasted to the shell design mockup I have provided? The reason I am wondering is because the color of the shell as you can see is also blue. Obviously your logos look great on white background but would they look as good on my shell's background color?

I wonder if you could also show me samples with that color in the background?
Cheers

Dear CH. The idea belongs to Sevi and that is the design that should be developing or improving the idea, not others.

Thanks.

All,
I am the CH and I am extremely disappointed at the childish and unprofessional behavior by Sevi! This designer has turned my first experience with Logo tournament into a nightmare. After lots of arguing he agreed to split the price and now he has done this again!! I am going to complain to the admin and if they dont take care of this I will cancel my credit card payment and will report this site to places like ripoffreport.com. I don't believe that will benefit any of us.

Please support me in getting my favorite logo back and ignore this jealous poor sport cry baby looser sevi. Dnk followed my directions and did not cheat. The change in slogan proves it. Everyone followed my directions but dnk executed the best and sevi is trying to punish him for it.

Thanks
JOey

Hi Joey,

I'm bringing this issue to the attention of the site administrators. Hopefully you'll hear from them tomorrow, but if not, I'm sure you will hear from them by Monday.

Regards,
Lindsey

Thank you Lindsey!
