$250 prize design contest, logo design for TopCherry.com - GoFuckYourself.com

Brad Mitchell · 01-05-2007, 12:22 PM

Hi talented designers!

I need a catchy cartoon logo for a upcoming free site on TopCherry.com. Ideas? The site will feature gratuitous free movie and picture galleries. The site's personna/operator is named "Popper". Perhaps someone can come up with something that is a cartoon logo with a girl, one or more strategically placed cherries and perhaps even a charicature of the man 'Popper'. Undecided as to whether or not the 'Popper' character should be included in the logo so let us know what you think and show us with your designs what you think would be best!

This site does will not exclusively cater to any particular niche, it will have various types of free content, but does aim to focus on quality and making the surfers HAPPY.

There's no reason not to reward more than one person. Payouts are via PayPal or check. So...

First prize is $200
Runner-Up prize is $50

Just looking for something clean, fun and catchy. The contest ends on Tuesday the 9th.

Thank you and good luck! If you have questions, please post them in this thread instead of ICQing me. I am looking forward to see who comes up with what!

Thank you for your time,

Brad

Brad Mitchell · 01-05-2007, 12:32 PM

Thanks for the advice jake! That's surely not going to happen.

Cheers,

Brad

Out of my domain portfolio this was one of the many 'top' names I have, like topdicks.com, toplegs.com, topbreasts.com, topbutts.com and of course topcherry.com. I registered them all back in February of 2000.. You know, back when top-lists generated traffic and everyone didn't give too much free porn away!

Bump! OK, maybe this won't work since I asked for a toon logo..

since the prize is $200, I'd say you're right

I see several artists here who do toons for that range or less.

Personally, I think the artists from spunktoons would be perfect for this..
Their work looks fantastic.

people that charge 200 for a design dont generally want to jump into a contest that they *might* win 200 on. you have to bump it up a bit to get people to work for free with hopes of winning.

May be true, but on the other hand, their work is seen, other people will see their skills & likely they'll earn more business by landing new clients who have read the thread. So, even if an artist or designer may not win a contest thread, there is still opportunity for them to show the board what skills they have, & generate more business.

That's my primary motivation for running a contest. I often observe on here they bring attention to people that do great work and content of substance on GFY helps build your business.

And here are two other concepts I sketched before deciding on the one above. If you want any of these for the site I could color them. The colors, fonts etc can be changed in any of the logos, and I provide the psd file with the logos.

We have winners!

Thank you everyone for your submissions. If you won, please email me (contact info in signature) with your PayPal information and so that we can discuss the design details, etc. The surprise here is that I believe two of the designs were great enough to tie for second place so they will both be receiving the second place prize money.

First Place $200: BlueWire

Second Place, $50 each (there was a tie!)

BlueWire:

Toonlogos:

Thank you pixellusion for your entry. I did like the elements in the design, it was very classy, it was simply just not my favorite. BlueWire and Toonlogos you both hit the designs very well and perhaps we can do some more work together very soon!

Congrats to the winners!
