Ticket-Tribe.comLogo Design Contest

Great to see some stuff going up already... thanks!

Because a big part of Ticket-Tribe will be us promoting other peoples events, I will have a team of guys and girls cruising around selling tickets.

So a logo that looks cool on a styling t-shirt, as well as on the website is where my head is at. Simple colors, maybe just doing something unique with the font, or the way the letters work together, and less about incorporating little images?

I have no eye for design, but an idea I had was to take the pi symbol, extend the top of the 'table' to the right and make the left leg the shaft of the first T and the second the shaft of the second, then have icket and ibe in there somewhere. Not necessarily having the wave in the table top like the actual pi sigh... but making it powerful and strong.

Just an idea... don't let it hem you in. Go nuts.

hey CH it would be nicer if you leave some comment or feedback before you eliminate our work. At least show some respect to our work and time we spent working for YOU. Thanx!

wookasheen - fair call, I appreciate that.

The primary reasons I labeled the work as 'not interested' was because they contained too many little 'clip-art' looking graphics (forgive me, this is not meant to be insulting - just honest), or looked to 'childlike' or 'pretty' or 'Disney'.

I certainly did not mean to offend! Clearly I want to work with everyone to create something AWESOME!

Rock on.

No. 25 by Melisari - I like the image of the TT forming a ticket. Groovy! Would work well on a t-shirt. I must say, I prefer the font of No. 1 by Husk.

As a temporary font on my email signatures, I am using the font BANK GOTHIC. I am not saying go with that, but I liked the energy of it. Solid. Strong.

I am really liking some of the submissions! Thanks!

It would be ideal in my mind if everything could be incorporated into one piece, instead of having

ticket-tribe.com, then separate to that, some kind of logo.

Would love to see them both merged as one unique item.

Thanks!

Hey guys and girls...

I just put a bunch of your submissions into the 'not interested' category... mostly for the same reasons as above.

Some of them were way too playful, others were too crowded...

I really appreciate all the effort though... if you have a specific question on a piece of work, just send me a message.

Thanks!

I am curious - If Apple decided to start an online ticketing and event promotion company - how would they do their logo? (if they were not allowed to use the apple symbol?)

That's kind of what I am going for. Clean, simple, elegant, to the point... yet iconic.

COMMENTS TO ALL DESIGNERS NOT RANKED:

I figured I would give comments publicly to save time and give everyone an idea of what I think on each design, or group of designs.

Orson: 79 & 80 - The Indian is just way to cliche. I am less wanting to build on an existing icon, and more wanting to create my own. I have even questioned whether having the ticket in the logo is too obvious. Amazon does not have books in the logo. Google does not have search, Apple is an apple for god sake!

NancyCarterDesign: 76. Hmmm.... not sure what to say here. I just don't like it... people dancing around on a ticket is just now where I see it. Like I said above, I am going for something that is Clean simple and elegant.

OverDozes: 70-74... again, Hmmmm.... the stars and the colors make it look a little like something out of a candy wrapper. PLEASE don't take that as an insult, its not - it is just what comes to mind. I think it missed the elegant and clean. Thanks!

Charles Sela: 69. To generic, but thanks!

Ikadika: 75. Woah! That's extreme! I am going for a little less in your face. To loud. Thanks!

PERSONAL IDEA:

TICKET-TRIBE.COM

Consider both the T's that start each word. Lengthen them and put them at an angle... maybe 30*'s.

Then join the roof of the T's... Perhaps flat, perhaps with a slight wave through it.

No. 19 is similar, but needs a bit of extra flair.

Just an idea...

Thanks for your rank @glencarlson, feel free to contact if you need any change!

Best regards!

Max

HEY TEAM!

Feel free to play with colors other than Blue.

I know I mentioned blue somewhere, but I really want to see what you guys & girls come up with!

I don't want it to look like an outfit from the 80's, or the logo for a Toys R Us store... but I would like to explore the full spectrum of colors.

Thanks!

ps. Really digging logofactors work. Simple, elegant, memorable and has all the information I need. Keep it up!

Hi 'neweyes'. Frankly I don't buy that you posted those last 2 comments to help me 'realise' anything, despite your opening line. Your tone is arrogant and condescending. Thankfully your attack on my opinion says more about you than it does me. If you can't handle your work being rejected, or are so precious that you need to have your ego massaged with every submission - then I suggest you find something else to do. Something where rejection inspires you to grow rather than attack others. Another post like that and I will explore how to report you. It leaves a bad taste in the tournament holders mouth, and therefor is bad for everyone else who is playing the game.

TO THE REST OF THE DESIGNERS:
If you have any problem with me requesting changes to designs, let me know. In my head, it is my way of helping you get higher up the rankings. It's in my interests to help you win!

Oh, and for those who submit something and get 'rejected' without comment... I apologise. I am getting so many submissions that just seem so far off I would not know where to start. This is not a reflection on your capacity as a designer - simply on my taste. I also have to work and there are only so many hours in the day.

Rock on!

Thanks for your feedback so far. Good luck.

Thanks for sharing your insight
and good luck...

To all the designers here,

well done... all the handy work is really amazing...really..
It's a bit of lotto with that many superb graphics to choose from..
If you get criticised pay no attention whatsoever

it's pot luck in this game and that's all.

Hi all...

Due to the huge surge of submissions at the 11th hour, and due to the fact that 2 of my friends just had a motorcycle accident (not serious, but distracting) I have extended the contest by 5 days to give me some breathing room. I also want to give everyone who submits a piece of work due consideration.

Cheers,

I'm glad your friends are not seriously injured. There are so many great entries I can see how it would be very difficult to pick just one. Now there will be even more! :) Thanks take care

You know what "Graphic_Design_Pro" if companies are looking for a cheap logo then who cares its easy money you turd. You're just upset because you are probably a shotty designer that is overpriced and can't find any work so you come on here and create a phony profile and mask your identity. You're opinion doesn't matter to anyone but yourself. Logo Tournament is the shiznit!!!!!! Go crawl back under the rock you came from ya butt nugget!

And no, thank you for your time.

It seems that "Graphic_Design_Pro" is a spam on this site. I saw this message too on some other contest. Meaby the Administrator could do somethin' about it. ?!

I like a bunch of the stuff you guys are coming up with.

Funny, the guy talks about low quality work and a lack of integrity, then spams.

Tool.

@ Graphic_Design_Pro

Why don't you show us your design???

Hi all,

I just arrived back in Bali and my team and I will be reviewing all the entries and choosing the ultimate winner then. I have my opinions on who should win, and my team have a different perspective - which is why I have not made the choice already.

Monday is the day!

Thank you all for your work and efforts.
