** 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.

oook i bite my words, i wanted to see if could give one of my logos some "body"

btw, i know i'm a reflection ###### :p

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...

i like it Chema, thanks for stayin in the ring, i would love to see it with the black sleek idea you have

im thinking of going with a Black and White simple Modern Website, so maybe that sleek idea will fit well. :)

Common, i know there are more artists out there, lets get ready to rumble :p

[stncttr908 Veteran]

Some good stuff in here. I really dig chema's stuff because I too am a reflection ###### at times.

[IK47]

Pox' is my favourite right now, I would go with theirs.

[Pox]

hmmm... had a fiddle, got an idea, made a font :p

how's this? any suggestions?

Pox i like it, but i dont think you quite understand what my company is after....

i would want something that without the text can be understood, like the mini cellphone that Chema has next to the font, can be put on our letter head, etc... and people will know what it represents,

Mac has an apple, Windows has a flag, Mercedes has there star, Cingular has there little orange dude, T-Mobile has there funky T with the dots, Neowin has there "N" i could go on and on, this and the text is what im looking for, a logo, something to Represent our company.

hmm, yeah. Well the top MD version could be used by itself, although i see what you're talking about. I'll see if i can come up with anything.

[Pox]

i've added a more self-contained logo; what do you think?

[KeR]

You want recognizable, and simple...here is something I did quickly:

Heres my go at a simple logo:

Im working on the version without the dots, hang on.. lol i know i have till 31st December but i want to give life signal

[ZiGGA]

Something simple

[sys32]

honestly, the logos with a mobile phone in them are kind of tacky, but it all depends on the artist and the creation, it can be done in a way that doesn't look cheap.

i am looking for something maybe a little more abstract, so that when customers see the logo without the mobiledudes text, they automatically recodnize that its MobileDudes.

like when i see that little Cingular Orange Guy, I Automatically know that its Cingular, i dont need to see the text to know that, same thing with the MS Windows Flag, i just need to see it to know.

**Thats the goal to Achieve with this logo, something that when you see it you just know its MOBILEDUDES**

If you think you're going to get that kind of a brand for $100, you are out of your mind. :p

[paperless]

With "MD" together

MD:

MD with address:

In black

( you can notice a slight difference in the position of the "mobiledudes.com" )

[glitch1501]

i like the idea of that, its definatly better without the dots...but i think there is too much space around MD, i would say either make the MD bigger, or the shape smaller

[Pox]

being the evil rat i am, i recreated a vector of PT-kid's logo and put in my own inner thing... I can't take full credit for this. just an idea.

Im Diggin the Ideas that are being thrown around here, keep it up...

Tis The Season, So Look Out For A Holiday Bonus That Might Be Comming Up. :shifty:

[smash505]

The Apple and MS Windows are only recognisable because they are big companies.

Also to make a customer recognise your logo you are going to have to display it alot. And I mean put it every where, all over your shop, on every page of your website, every letter, every order form etc..To see what Im talking about, go have a look in a Telstra shop. :rolleyes:

Advertising is the key to getting people to recognise your logo not the amazingness of it.

Anyways...Here are some more logos I did:

Hi all.
