an effective logo is one that encompasses an entire idea, rather than a specific niche alone. you cover all grounds this way, and allows for expansion within the company without having to change logos.

so what's the idea behind screw.com? is it going to be an adult personals site? a magazine? an affiliate program?

This contest was won on the first page.

I see many images using Bevels, Gradients, and blurred shadow effects. All of which don't convert well to VECTOR. I hope he doesn't plan on paying $600 for a .PSD file. That shit better be in .AI or .EPS.

LMAO, what the hell are you talking about? Welcome to 2005.

wow, I don't really like any of these, heh. Surprising 'coz these contests usually have some great entries. Don't know if I can come up w/ anything better tho - it's a hard (no pun intended) concept to convey in a logo, without being totally obvious. Carry on...

Recap.......Will try to do more.

The domain on those say "WWW.SREW.COM"

We have Pantera in da house. That'd be great for a heavy metal band.

pantera is dead but it will always remain in our hearts and on our blasting speakers hell yeah :)

damn that's awesome

My entries:

A few of our faves so far:

http://www.mindinfect.com/screws05.jpg - This looks killer although it's not the direction we were looking for originally. We might find a way to incorporate this style into the site design anyway.

http://www.jcgraphicdesign.com/pics/screwlogos.jpg - the top font in the lower case is probably the lead design as far as font goes. Nix the screw graphics though. Move around the .com in few different ways maybe.

http://www.nnconnect.com/SCREW.jpg - This is tight and bold, although it's a little on the corporate side as far as attitude. I like the background graphics but not the matrix effects or blue color scheme.

http://www.internetadvertisingllc.co...crewlogo12.jpg
http://www.internetadvertisingllc.co...crewlogo13.jpg - The silhouettes work great in this one. I could see a variation of this type of graphic being in the screw logo.


Still in consideration:
http://www.rmxstudio.com/works/contest/screw/screw5.gif - This is great work...it won't be the logo but I'm pretty certain this will end up in our promo clothing/ads etc.

http://www.nomeconoces.com/freelance/screw-logo.jpg - These have a certain cutesy appeal...maybe for the models t's, hats, panties etc. Fun stuff.

a lot of the silhouttes you seem to like, suck. they're font silhouttes and it's pretty unoriginal hehe... i'm guilty of using them myself from time to time. but if you really want yourself a recognizable brand you'll go with something that is recognizably custom, like MINE! :winkwink:

Thanks for the update YB. I'll work some variations for you guys. That's a killer domain name you acquired!! Congrats!

mine, with the font variation you mentioned you thought was in the lead.

thanks for the comments bro,
its helpful
but in some ways others might steal others idea incorporating it to their designs

nah just my cents :)
peace out to all!

who cares? in the end it's all about what he wants. if they say they like a certain font, im not going to keep using some other font.

peace out :)

Thanks for the feedback on my previous entry
 

Here's another one :)

wtf man :)
thats not designing, all you do is changing the fonts...
talking about you 10-15 latest "designs" :pimp

150...........

haha, I totally agree, almost none of these capture the classic feel of Playboy or Penthouse. Putting the way-overused girl silhouette from every trucker's mudflap does not make a good logo.

Yours is cool but maybe a little much (only my opinion); I think a couple of mine are at least on the right track and the one from AdultRMX is pretty original and classic. :2 cents:

Another one from me:

Girl is custom, font is custom > logo is custom...
There you go (and no screws this time)

Thing is the truckers that pay money for them mud flaps are the same guys that buy porn.
