Logo Contest!

April 1st, 2005 Posted in Uncategorized

After noticing that my logo (look in the upper right hand corner of this site) was a near duplicate of the commoncraft.com logo, I asked one of my designer buddies for help.

He’s knocked out a few designs, shown below. If you can give me feedback on your favorite design, I’ll randomly choose a number (based on number of comments) and one commenter will will a copy of Creating Customer Evangelists!

    My thin-slice approach likes Option Four. Why? Well, it showcases the interdependence that must exist for a collection of people to become a community.

    Your designer buddy is quite good. They all look nice. However, some work for me and others don’t.1. Too many bubbles, like there is a mass of folks talking and hard to concentrate on anything in particular.2. Looks cool, but I don’t see what it’s supposed to represent.3. The G is neat, is it for “guy” though?4. This one I like, less comment bubbles, but still in a cool pattern.5. I like the implied bubble, but a little thin for my tastes.6. A pattern of 5s. Eh.7. I like this one as well. The heads talking to each other.So I like 4 & 7, and I’m leaning towards 7.

    First, I concur: your designer buddy is very good. These are all very interesting designs.Second, #3 is the one. I like that it incorporates the “C” and “G” of Community Guy as well as keeps the talk-balloon meme that implies conversation and, thus, community.#1 is a bit much methinks.#2 makes me think of something photo-related. #4 interesting but not enoughso#5 makes me think something’s missing.#6 & #7 nice to look at but a little too abstractSo, it’s #3, definitely. Nice meme that really markets YOU and what you’re talking about.

    #1 is a bit much methinks.

    #4 interesting but not enoughso

    So, it’s #3, definitely. Nice meme that really markets YOU and what you’re talking about.

    For me, number 7 jumped ahead of the pack. I can see an implied “G” in that tasty little logo, and it conveys ideas of integration, diversity and the ol’ yin-’n'-yang.

    Thanks for the differentiation Jake!
    My votes are for 4 and 6, with 1 being a close third… If I had to choose 1- it would be 6…
