Adult logo design?

[jasonir]

Anyone have recommendations for someone who does adult logo design? Naturally I'd assume bluedesignstudios.com is the best but I would like a couple suggestions.

I need a few logos and one pay site designed, please post your portfolio if you are a designer.

No problem, now get back to those kick ass logos

[WendyB]

We have recently had experience(s) with several Logo designers and freelance web artists and offer our experience.

As you are aware there is a varied arena of services available, and equal attention should be paid to a Logo artist's business ethics, reputation, creditability, and ability to deliver a completed project in a timely fashion. These items are very important to me.


Here are some who have completed projects for us, and I feel comfortable publicly recommending.

GROOVY ADULT DESIGN: Designer Jim Jamison; Groovy Adult has completed many, many design projects for us during the past 3 years. Very creative edge, good business ethics, fair prices and responsive customer service. http://www.groovyadultdesign.com RECOMMENDED



BEDROOM GRAPHICS: Another design Firm which has completed many, many design projects for us during the past 3 years. Very creative edge, good business ethics, fair prices and responsive customer service http://www.bedroomgraphics.com RECOMMENDED


TWIN DREAMS: designer; Ryan
ICQ Number: 126013016

I was very impressed with Ryan's response speed and ability to deliver quality design work at a fair price. Twin Dreams completed several recent projects for us. This is the same design company that does work for several Top adult programs, including ARS.
http://www.twindreams.com RECOMMENDED



TRICK VISUALS: When it comes to getting design work done, we all want the best our budget can afford. I would like to provide a honorable mention to TRICK DESIGN. While I will be the first to tell you TD currently may not provide you with the flashiest or most cutting edge design, they do bring to the table something to me, at the end of the day is far more important: Business ethics and Heart.
Trick Design is a designer that is getting his feet wet, and working on building his portfolio. He did a couple projects for us and poured his heart and soul into it. I was so impressed by his desire to do a good job for us, and prompt communications during the design process. I think for those of us who have been at the adult site game for awhile remember how difficult it was getting started. I would like to encourage throwing him some of your smaller projects. http://www.trickvisuals.com/ RECOMMENDED



Here is my suggestion of a designer to avoid.

Luka d.b.a. LukaPensa.com
I will be the first to admit the portfolio ( http://www.lukapensa.com/logos/ ) Luka presents is very impressive. In our experience, luka demonstrated excellent communication skills in the initial setting up of the deal. After he received the agreed payment, he less than responsive.

Finally after several days of slow non responsive/evasive communication, he delivered a logo that was of the poorest quality. What he delivered looked like it was either put together in 30 seconds, or was someone's first Photoshop project.

Luka gets a big thumbs down for business ethics, and creditability. As a result of our experience with Luka, we no longer pay in advance for logo work from new designers. If you are drawn to Luka's portfolio, I strongly urge you DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY OR PAYMENT IN ADVANCE with him.

[Mutt]

did Luka answer any of my questions in another thread about some of the logos looking familiar to me?

the work is excellent, but i kept getting the feeling i'd seen them somewhere before. Luka who did u do the IceBear design for? And the AQUA.

Now thats just fucked up and giving us designers a bad rep in this biz. I hear it more and more that when a designer gets paid upfront he is getting lazy and stuff. I would advice you next time to just pay half or something untill all is finished, this is how I work mostly and it works on both sides.

ok, thanks for the comments. now, tell the whole story, would you?

she came with the idea to create logo for www.tgptoolbox.com - her site about TGP, forums... check it yourself (btw, you owe me for promoting you now).

ok, what's the deal? she had budget of, imagine: 40 bucks. 40 bucks, that is. and, as it would cost too much to transfer it via WU or anything, i told her to get me a gift certificate on amazon.com valued at 40, but she paid 50 in total (thanks!).

and, for 50 bucks, limited with the dimensions (she always demanded 250x50 or something logo) to be put in the upper right corner of forums... anyway, i'm so sorry i don't have the full conversation history from ICQ, as i don't have most conversations older than few days ago (due to miranda im crash - www.miranda-im.org - it's great usually, but had some memory leak)).

anyway, back to the subject. i was following the blue color scheme and created following logo:



and some time after she told me that isn't what she's looking for, but thanks for the try... i offered her to do a revision (at 50$ amazon.com gift certificate, how many designers would offer you that???), she told me some information on what she feels the logo would be and then i had the computer crash and never heard back from her again.

now she starts the talk like this

ok, you guys be the judge... jason, who started up this thread - ordered a new corporate logo from me, for his company. ask him, is he pleased or not? did he pay? not yet. the logo is already available on his site: www.innovationdev.com - i never ask upfront except client offers it. or if maybe it goes through amazon.com gift certificates

that's a lesson for the future. never try to do a favor to someone, he'll throw you in the mud later. thanks wendy. you're great gal, i am sure.

now, go and do what the name of this board says

[lukapensa]

yeah, offer her something better for 50$ amazon gift certificate


if i know she would be such a biatch i wouldn't try to do somebody a favor at all.

P.S. - wendy i forgot - if you want your money back just tell me how to get it to you, through another amazon.com gift certificate? we offer 30 days gift certificate return

Q.

yes, 50% upfront and 50% after the completion is ok, but as said - she didn't mention everything in her post, make her feel lonely, sad, etc... c'mon, what could she do, buy me 20$ certificate now and 20$ later? yeah, she could, of course... but next time she might also say that i told her "ok, i can give it a try even with your LOOOOOW budget to help you out". help, ever heard of that word wendy?

no, luka did not reply to another thread to you about the logos. why? because he's got too much work to do. and that thread went in some other direction, asking stupid questions, etc, my spokesman/pimp wildcard gave you reply to all questions, didn't he?

icebear logo was done in 2001 for a linux project. want to see how it looked on CD design aswell? and other covers, etc? never became a live project, though, but i've got all details and drawings in vector format (yeah, the format to which i redraw all my works i copy from other companies having same name, etc).

and AQUA was done for a local cafe here. also, an ooooold work, not one of the best i did. the newer - the better. check out the gallery.

[nitemonkey]

This attack on Luka perplexes me.
I've used him a number of times, and can honestly say that he provides the highest level of service and quality.
He has designed logo's and whole sites for me, and everytime I am amazed at the professionalism of his work.

WendyB, I would suggest that in future you provide all relevent details. To be honest, if I were a designer, I would not even respond to an offer of 40 or 50 dollars.

Hey Jason, I have some time available if you need anything done, I've already Icqd you

[WendyB]

I feel what I have communicated was fair testimonials of my recent experiences with various designers, which Luka was included.

As previously indicated, yes, I was impressed with Luka's logo portfolio presentation. Please for a moment, take a walk in the shoes of a buyer of services, such as myself. When there is an agreement to perform a service, there is a reasonable expectation that the service rendered will be somewhat representative of the samples presented.

Luka's original quote was in the neighborhood of US$200 as I recall for a small logo. I did indicate to Luka, that my budget was much less than 200.
Mr. Luka also advised he did not have a PayPal account to accept Visa/MasterCard payment.
Mr. Luka asked If I could send him a $40 AMAZON.COM gift certificate, as payment.
I agreed, and after 10 to 15 minutes navigating my way around the Amazon website was able to register and send Luka a gift certificate. I sent $50 instead of the original 40 he had asked.

At no time did Luka indicate that because of the agreed price, there would be a creation rendered that would be so far below the level of his sample portfolio representations.

If Luka had of indicated there would be a creation that was not representative of his portfolio, then I would have then had the opportunity to accept and/or reject his quote.

To me, there are other elements to a deal that contribute to the overall mutual success of a deal. Ethics and creditability weigh in very high with me, and unfortunately my experience was less than desirable. In the earlier testimonials, I mentioned another designer who had responded to one of my posts asking for a designer.

It was a designer that did not have a shining, glitzy portfolio, however he did have honesty in the manor he communicated with me. The other designer I speak of presented a portfolio that was far below what I normally would hire, however he was clear of his desire to break-in the adult graphics arena. Yes, I gave the newbie a chance, and damn glad and proud I did. As a matter of fact I have and will give him repeat business, because he does what he says he will do, and delivers when he promises.

I have been around for several years in the adult arena and a frequent user of freelance talent. In my response, I have complimented Luka on his talents as presented in his portfolio.

I would encourage all to compare the "logo" Luka created for me, with the logos he presents on his logo portfolio page. When I saw the post by MUTT, it began to make me think and question...

The quality, style and artist rendering created for me does not even come close to resembling the creations on luka's page. you be the judge

[Nathan]

WendyB,

I have known Luka for 2 years now. He has done 6 logos for me and all were outstanding. Trust me, his portfolio is a sample of his real work, and its just the best of the best and normally he does shitty logos, all logos are that good when you pay him $200-$350.

I am not here to attack, and did not attack Luka. There was absolutely no name calling on my part.
Another adult website owner/webmaster put the word out he/she was looking for an adult logo designer. I simply responded with testimonials surrounding several of my recent experiences.

The issue here is not about the dollar amount, however it involves basic business principals. I congratulate you on your satisfaction with the involved designer.

In each of the testimonials I presented of others, their work performed met and/or exceeded the level they presented as examples of their work.

I the case of Luka, what he presented for me does not even look like a creation of the same artist, by the wildest stretch of the imagination.

Again my statements were/are based on my actual personal experiences. This is not rumor or second hand information. What I provided was the same type of useful objective feedback, I would expect/hope to see when I put the word out that I am looking for freelance talent for a particular project.

Dear Jason,

I wish you luck with your upcoming projects, and hope you have been able to gain insight into some of the wonderful talent available. Design firms like Groovy Adult, AAA Adult Design, Bedroom Graphics have all done nice work for us, and bring to the table their positive business practices and principals making it very easy for me to reccomend them.

Also, you have learned who to avoid

of course jason, you know who to avoid - me. but wendy forgot - i am the one whose services you used, didn't pay anything upfront and - you liked my work, so you've changed your company's logo with my creation.

for wendy, that logo is available on www.innovationdev.com or, if you want, here it is in this board:



so, what do you think of this?

I give that design a thumbs up.

Unfortunately you have failed to grasp the principal of my previous comments. As a matter of fact, I went out of my way to stress that I was impressed with your portfolio samples.

In my personal experience with your work, you received a thumbs down because you delivered work, a amateur could have created. That in itself doesn't make your effort

If what you delivered to me in good conscience, would then begin to speak to your personal values and business principals.

When you freely enter a deal to do a service, and make a point of telling someone you will do a good job for them, at the same time agreeing to a set amount, is what contributed to you receiving a thumbs down from me.

There have been many times in my past a designer has delivered a rendering I personally was not attracted to, however in each of those situations, what was received was consistent with the artists representations. The reason you have never heard me comment on those is because, they each made a genuine effort.

If Jason like his new design, that is what's important. If Jason had a satisfactory dealing with you is also important. Today you have displayed a contemptuous attitude and further demonstrated it doesn't matter how much talent a person possesses. If you are not ethical, and lack basic service business principals then I most certainly will share my personal experiences with others within this industry.

you like quoting yourself?

anyway, i won't bother anymore to reply on this subject, whoever wants something from me can surely contact me by any way written below, i'll be glad to discuss everything, etc, but will stop this crossfire, me shooting at you and you shooting back at me.

fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity, i read that somewhere today, it's true

[JSA Matt]

No worries Luka, one person can't change the opinions of others no matter how hard they try. We all know your work is top notch stuff

btw.. I like the TGP toolbox logo.. quality stuff. Just remove the orange TGP text

[jasonir]

Sorry Luka,

I didn't realize that my thread had blown up like this or I would have stepped in to defend you.

Luka did a new logo for Innovation Development. We're a rather picky client, but Luka lived up to our expectations.

He came up with an imaginative and innovative logo, and designing a logo for a company such as ours is quite hard. We have a long name and our business is quite diversified. But Luka came up with a great and recognizable logo that we fell in love with.

I'd fully recommend him!

[SuckMeBeautiful]

It's fucking amazing that a company such as like whoa can rip webmasters off for millions of dollars, and open a new business like nothing ever happened

The funny thing is, luka could have asked for more than the $40 bucks (amazon gift certificate), and I probly would have paid it (based upon representations in his portfolio)....

However, even on a good day, his $200 quote was abit overpriced. Again, the samples in the portfolio are good, but there are many other fine designers, who are able to accept paypal or payment via major credit card instead of amazon gift certificates and/or western union money transfers.

ok, this is where every discussion stops. a GREAT logo is overpriced at $200? c'mon, get life, you live in the states (or canada, dunno), for that money you can't get a lot, i'm sure you remember that well.

get some cheesy logo at www.artistmike.com for even more than that... or something. geez.

which car do you drive? yugo? as it's cheap? or did you get a porsche somewhere for $10.000, as it seems you valuate money differently, saying $200 is big money?

don't want the answer on those questions, though, those were rethorical questions. end of subject.
