Third time is a charm eh folks? I've got the funding, I've got the people, now I just need the logo!
HostFalcon.com, an internet service provider specializing in small business site hosting, has commissioned a contest to create a new and unique branding for their soon be opened business.
The winning logo will help set the tone for the layout, color and theme for the rest of the company web presence.
The contest will run for an undetermined length of time and participants from around the Internet community are encouraged to enter.
First prize is $40 AND 6 months of free hosting on a basic HostFalcon plan. Two runners up will receive 25% off any plan for three months.
Winners will be decided exclusively by the management of HostFalcon.
Requirements
The name of the company (HostFalcon) should be present on any logo design along with our slogan (Set your sites higher) if deemed feasible by the designer.
The branding elements should be on a white background and be easily applied to any white or light gray without recoloring. Any text used should be a sans-serif font. HostFalcon prefers the use of a simple and minimalist design.
Only Photoshop importable formats will be accepted.
Uses
The winning branding will be used on our website, in online and possible print advertisements, letter headers, company shirts, business cards, etc.
Exclusive rights must be provided to us by the author.
The following issues have come up through the thread.
- A cash prize has been added.
- You can submit as many variations or alternative designs as you wish.
- Please keep the negitive comments on other peoples work to yourself.
- Please do not ask for public feedback from me on your submission.
APRIL 3 UPDATE: The entry process is now closed. Unless you come up with something breathtaking we're going to use what we've taken so far and make a choice from there. We have narrowed the field down to about 5 logos that stand out from the rest as being the type of branding we'd be able to use and would help set us apart a bit from our competitors.
I have no timeline on getting a winner announced. Of course I'll let everyone know when that happens.
Thanks everyone for the great submissions, you've made it really hard for the judges to choose a winner.
MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations.
I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world.
Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up.
All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers!
Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
I actually agree with "Good Bot". "millions" - I wonder how they made that assertion. Did they guess? If so, not good enough. Hence "clickbait". If they said "five people" it'll still be clickbait. It's clickbait unless there are actual proven figures to substantiate that claim
