that one rocks

goodluck....

Bump for a few more entries. Looking good so far. But dont know if I am sold on one yet.

you need to elaborate for us.. tell us which ones you like, and what seems to be missing.

$800 ? "classic branding concept along the lines of HUSTLER, PENTHOUSE, PLAYBOY, etc."
Yea I'm sure that those companies only put forth $800
how much did the domain cost ya ?

your ignorance is beyond limits, is kinda funny see somebody as clueless as you :thumbsup

The contest is open to anybody who wants a piece of the $800 pie. We've spent quite a lot more on the project to date...we're just in need of some fresh ideas. If you're not down with the contest then that's cool too. No drama intended or needed :thumbsup

had some time, and an idea... there you go...

Hope ya like :upsidedow

Interesting...maybe we could try some more illustration-style designs just for kicks? As mentioned we're not a big fan of the old-school porn tour graphics that have been photoshop'd to death but i'm always open to fresh styles.

I'm still holding out for a simple, text-based logo but the name is so short and obvious..it make things kind of hard to be original. If you're stumped with the simple direction maybe try one of these styles if you want:

http://wastedspaces.com/
http://www.ztvideo.com/
http://www.defiancefilms.com

If you take a stab at the illustration style, we prefer one color or at least no overkill on the shading/blending, easy to recognize right away...nothing that takes too much thinking to figure out what the words say.

Great work so far, thanks to everybody who's submitted so far!

You should put all the info as to the precise direction of what you want from the get go. Re-directing is what burns out these design contests when the owner isn't even sure what they really want.

Hey, hey...we're not changing anything as far as specs go...just throwing a few logs on the fire in case somebody felt held back by the text-based requirements, which I mentioned is still our main focus for the header logo. Lots of stuff in the works for screw though...hats, tshirts, print ads, web promo's, etc...anybody who wants to show their stuff feel free to submit.

here's mine...

I know the exact design that would win this competition... don't have time to do it though. If you want to contact me after the contest for my idea, or maybe I could pay someone to make it, but not worth it to me to spend money.. anyway.. my ICQ is 129060301

Amazing how some people can't follow directions.

Really ? I'm clueless huh? Please enlighten me

oh and the fact that a good majority of these logos suck ass speaks volumes of what $800 buys you

Don't engage this guy...a couple of good ideas have came from this contest already. We're not asking anybody to design our site for a $600 prize...we're just looking for the widest variety of ideas in the shortest amount of time as possible. Even if we don't end up using one from the GFY contest somebody here wins the dough.

We've hired several of the best designers who are very popular on this board (you know who you are :winkwink: ) and even they have shot blanks on the logo. Professional courtesy keeps me from mentioning their name but they weren't cheap in the least. In fact, several of the orginal trademarks I mentioned in the contest specs use them for their design. Props!

Anyhow, keep the ideas coming..we appreciate the input of everybody who's submitted so far.

fyi: old stuff

my entry.. :thumbsup

Nike's swoosh logo was created for $20. The Playboy logo was created by a cartoonist already on Hef's payroll.

It doesn't take a trillion dollars to get a good design. Designers whoring themselves out for $50 contests is a different story.

ah what the hell...lol

Honestly I think it's a good catch, with a domain like that... you can't build a website TOO serious..lol.

and from the examples you mentioned, I guess Penthouse and Hustler paid million dollars for that Helvetica or whatever font :Oh crap Most "logos" from that time, specially for print, were made using letraset or the likes.

Consider yourself enlighted :thumbsup

so you say "a good majority", which means NOT ALL. Case closed.

Yo YankBro - How about you pick the best 5 you like so far so everyone can get an idea as to the style you like and are looking forward.

This way you'll get a much better focus from everyone and might get lucky with a winner.

simple but effective.... nice design dude.. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

With all of the amazing work in this thread, I don't know why I bother lol ...

but here's some very simple text-based logos for ya just for fun! ;)

PS: Yeah yeah, this was basically just an exercise in font browsing lol :winkwink:
