** Mobiledudes Logo Contest! **

[Tarik]

Prize: $100.00 USD for logo.

Payment Methods(s): Paypal, Check

-----------------------

Description:

We will soon be re-launching an new version of our site www.mobiledudes.com

We have decided that now is the time to get a logo that truly represents who we are.

As you may have already realized from the name of the site, our aim is to offer our customers with a range of mobile phones, accessories, and in the future a range of products that are mobile, i.e. iPods, Notebooks, PDA’s etc.. We would like our logo to portray a professional image, not something goofy or cartoon-ish. We are also laid back and can have fun.

While we would prefer if you could follow the criteria above, we aren’t going to limit ourselves until we see what you guys are capable of. I have seen some great work here at Yaxay and would like you to use your own experience and opinions when coming up with entries. I will be able to check in several times a day to offer my opinions and input on the entries.

For the logo format, we must have it in some sort of resizable format (most likely vector) that we can resize and use not only for the website, but on business cards, t-shirts, public banners, etc.

To clarify the logo:

We would like to see the logo with our slogan and without it/ we would also like to see it with the “.com” and without. This logo should be from scratch. For the title text, keep in mind that "mobiledudes" or "mobiledudes.com" should have no spaces between the words. Putting the words on separate lines should be fine if it fits the logo, but if the words are side by side, no spaces. Thanks :-)

Also, if you are going to use the initials of the name in the logo, please use "MD"

To clarify the prize:

We pay $100 for whichever logo wins, period.

To clarify logo originality:

This should be fairly obvious for any logo contest, the logo should be your original creative work. No clipart or purchased graphic should be used, and especially not claimed as your own work. If you have any questions as to whether or not you can use a pre-made graphic as the logo, the answer will almost undoubtedly be 'no' but feel free to contact me with any concerns.

As for stock photographs to be used with the logo, the answer is no as they do not comply with the previous rules requiring scalability of the logo.

i like the shell PT_KiD, cant wait to see if the rest of the logo is gonna be as sleek as the shell, i like the concept so far.

[paperless]

i will try to :p

[paperless]

Okay, heres my try, of course i can change anything if you ask...

Or ( which honestly i dont like much ):

Antenna with signal:

Normal:

Or Blue ( which i really like ):

And a mini version of the logo:

Do you think i should try a plane color version of the logo or it isnt needed?

I mean, a version to put on t-shirts and other marketing stuff all brands have..

[macf13nd]

^ my fav so far.

the blue is good. its simplistic & instantly recognizable ==> fulfils the design spec.

nice job! (Y)

Yes, please give it a go, anything you have in mind, i was thinking of an aqua effect like the Mac Apple would be a neat idea to give it, i like the concept, lets see some more, i think you really hit the ball of what we are after, something that when people see it they know its mobiledudes, something we can print easily and even draw on a peice of paper. id like to see the text in the ball without the dots and maybe something different, as i showed a few people, and they didn't automatically make sense of it, someone said it looked like PD, so i dont think it being mistaken for Puff Daddy Inc. is good :p

I do appoligise to anyone else that has done any work for the contest so far, because i have tried not to directly comment on anyones logo just yet, but i think PT_KiD is seeing where our company is trying to go, this is no indication that PT_KiD has won, but rather that he is on the right track...

I Look forward to seeing many more, as the month is still young.

Thanks Again Guys, Please Keep Up The Good Work. :)

Sounds good, I'm not going to submit any more logos though, my attempts were more directed as a symbol that was not very complex, that was easy to recognize and that was solid colors. Oh well...

I do have a small suggestion, i think the one of the dots in the letter M of PT_KiD's logos should be removed, like this...

[San Diego]

Chema rules...'nuff said!

Chema, Yours are great, im not quite sure why you would not submit anymore, like i said in my earlyer post, this contest is not over until the fat man drops off his gifts and we all get crunk in the club and we all party like its 1999...

I just stated that im really looking for a looking for a logo/symbol that is automatically recodnisible so that when people look at it they automatically know what it is, and so far i think that PT_KiD has done just that, in a unique way, it does not mean that i have chosen his by any means... id like it if you still were involved and kept submiting, and i hope many more artists will as well...

[Filth]

mmm 1999. Good year. Good year indeed.

[paperless]

lol, thanks for all the good comments man :)

Well, i dunno if i should follow chema suggestion? Do you think it will be nice that way, if you tink i will because im not making the logo for me :p

I will give it a try to use the font without the dots and try a mac style of it.

For now, here are the plain logos for marketing purposes and stuff, no watermark because it would be easy to steal anyway... lol

[JMann Veteran]

Providing some honest advice if you are wanting a logo to "stand-out" go with on of Chema's designs, odd but works uniquely. If you know what I mean. Admittedely, PT_Kid's idea of the logo is nice and unique but just trying to work out what the dots are saying is just a little; tough.

At the end of the day, your choice though, just my thoughts on it. :)

[paperless]

Once people know what the name of the company is it wont be hard, i guess.

Like mail said: "The business doesn\'t became famous on the logo, the business makes the logo famous .."

And if the company does a good marketing work and good business ( aka turns out famous ), people will recognize the logo as mobiledudes right away.

Here goes a different color scheme with chemas suggestion:

looks good KiD, but lets try something other than those dots, little hard to understand, i dont think the general public is going to able to get it right away...

[Pox]

that black/orange one looks awesome... nice work (Y)

[chema]

I'm going to try a black sleek kinda style later on, but really, if you dont like it please tell me so i wont waste my time...

[DoS]
