UltraJunkie.comLogo Design Contest

To all designers...for our logo would really like to see a runner as the main centerpiece wearing running gear while looking like a crazy person, (in a fun edgy sort of way). Running ultra's is looked at as being a little crazy so we would like to capture that in the logo. We want this logo to have some edge to it.

To all designers: CH had troubles with posting reference picture. Here is the link to the logo style he likes:

Thank you to everybody that created logos! They look awesome and we are looking forward to picking one for our journey! I have several pictures I want to upload for you to see but I can seem to find an upload option. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ok, I uploaded 10 images...these are just to give you an idea of the neutrality of the runner. Remember, ultra running is dirty, messy, intense, fun, mind numbing, difficult, draining, crazy, insane, rewarding, awesome and all of the above. Most ultra runners are strong both mentally and physically. But at 20 hours in a race things can change. I love the kind of badge of honor to that zombie image on the clothing of the woman in image "badge of honor." Anybody can wear that with strange pride. Please be creative and think about what an ultra runner goes through both in a race and in training. It's a lot of work and sacrifice. We all have families, careers and responsibilities. We want this logo to reflect that and have any runner be proud to wear the logo. Please continue to ask questions as we move through the process. We really appreciate the work all of you have put in and will do moving forward.

Thank you again to all designers. We are starting a new week and we also received an extension. So this will be a big week in finding the right logo. As you revise some of these logos please keep a few things in mind:

1. We want to appeal to BOTH male and female runners. SO lets try and make the runner neutral. We are absolutely open to your interpretation.

2. We want the logo to have an edge to it. Again, use your own interpretation.

3. Ultra running is dirty, yucky, difficult, mind numbing, painful, miserable, fun, and will bring most runners to the brink of quitting

4. We want a logo that will POP on apparel

5. The runner needs to represent who we are, and neutral. Keep in mind why we named it "Ultra Junkie"...think about what a junkie is, now think of a runner the same way. We are running junkies from the sport to the gear and to the nutrition. It's a mental game as much as a physical game.

Hope that helps!

Also, one last point...it doesn't have to be "cartoonish," I just thought it might be easier to make the runner more neutral if it was. But we are open...just please capture the "junkie" part of the runner. As I've mentioned, this will be a badge of honor to wear for both men and women.

Please note a water bottle is mentioned in the brief version 1 and is open to all.
