Yacht CircleLogo Design Contest

Entry #1, Propellers was meant in reference to boats not wind propellers. Red was not bright enough.

Someone should try something with a sailboat like this in the logo.

Can someone please do a design with just the letters Y and C or Y in a circle? Some kind of emblem

Entry #41 is really what we are looking for. Can we see some variations on this idea?

You are such a sweetie.... "as nice" ???? AT THE VERY LEAST! You are so talented Speed!

Here are some well known logos for large yacht management companies, perhaps this will help give some people some more ideas.

And this is a really good link for a bunch of big name yachting logos: I especially like Knight And Carvers underwater propellers idea.

Would love to see more big sailboat designs. I like the clean lines of sails and waves for a logo. I have posted some links of sailboat pictures that appeal to me. Classical lines are important, think Nautica type clean logos. I have included many different angles for ideas.

dazzleinteractive: Don´t you think your entries are to similar to my entries? You´re #56. you should know you cannot upload stuff unless it´s significantly different from others.

Let me answer your questioning in my designs :

1. Your font is different then mine, have a close look at the letters of your font and mine and tell me how is that i am using the same font ? i am not, its different.

2. The placement, isn't an idea, the CH likes the placement in a certain way and its applied by other designers on all their designs, am i right ? correct me if i am wrong.

3. Your yacht isn't like my offered yachts, mine are totally different in their looks and i did offer it to the CH with a circle around them and he asked me he wants to see it without a circle, so i did this upon his own request which is on my design note page and i am sure you seen it.

So, please, do not accuse me of copying because i never do that and look at my portfolio and contests i am in and you will know that i do not need to copy anyone and can come up with my own designs well.

AGAIN: "Make sure that your entry is significantly different than existing ones".

Don't worry, although its different if you have a close up and there are no similarities to copying and placing the slogan isn't copying an idea, i would be glad to do a significant differences to my entries, that will be the easy part.

Done, happy now ? Does that look significantly different to you or not enough yet ?

I removed them all and out of it, hope you feel happy now

Dazzleinteractive, I liked your sailboats designs, why have you removed them?

Just a note - designers MAY NOT trace designs unless the pictures belong to the CH or themselves.

Why is that? I feel that if a designer can't draw something that intricate from memory, then tracing & modification should be fine.

www.tineye.com is a useful tool to prevent copyright infringement

Thats my point, and i am sure alot of other designers who are able to draw well, like myself, would sometimes trace to save time and nothing is wrong with that, but i guess Ivan's point is to do so on a picture that belongs to you or you have a right to it, anyways those pictures belong to me.

i agree with intepid guppy logo designing should not be a trace and submit job ...its someing where you put a part of you inside the designs ..tracing is just copying stuff ....allso standard intellectual right systems prohibit using others artwork in ANY form

no one just traced and submitted over here apurvrdx

If you use the word "circle" in your company name -- the logo should definitely be in a circle! And not have a sailboat on it???

Why is that? In my opinion is not necessary to tell the people twice ( graphic pleonasm) that there's a circle....

I agree with Cristianici. That´s saying the same thing twice in one logo and I think it´s all about to make it as clean and clear as possible. (less is ALWAYS more)

#154 and # 205 are the best in my opinion. Would love to see #154 in blue instead of black. :)
