Logo contest update
March 4, 2010 · Print This Article
In just over 1 day, we’ve had over 30 entries to our logo contest. Some really great ideas there. And we’ve been providing feedback to help refine the logos for our final 3 choices.
…more entries using our favorite pictures
However, almost all the logos have been of the same style. We are hoping to have more entries using our favorite pictures. If you’re thinking about designing a logo, but don’t feel the creative style, please work with these suggestions.
1. Create a logo using one of our 3 favorite images: the gothic window, the Weebee at Sunset, or the Lusby at the Valley Ford Rush Minute.
2. Create a long horizontal logo that will stretch across the top of our website that has our name and 3 of our houses, so it looks like a scene. Here is a really bad example. Obviously, the backgrounds would need to blend together. It could be set against a night sky with all 3 houses shown.
All the files needed are available at 99designs.com
Good luck! Can’t wait to see the results.
Just for clarification then this would be essentially a banner contest. A logo is typically defined as a mark or a wordmark. The photographic images are usually incorporated later on in the design process.

Good point. Ultimately, we’re looking for 3 different types of designs. And we’d love to see some incorporate pictures of our houses.

Still need a bit of clarification. Are you looking for 3 different logo designs (a.k.a mark/wordmark) presented in a banner-like format that includes your photographs so you can see how the new logos would look on the current site?

I was suggesting people incorporate the images into the logo (which I guess might be called a banner). Actually, someone did it perfectly and submitted their design. It looks stunning.

Forgive me but I’m a little confused…
So, the entry with the most “clicks” will win?
Or am I missing how we vote on our favorite logo?
Thanks!
