logo for me? by saralk on 12-20-2004 at 03:25 PM

Me and a friend are planning on creating a small record label, (were not planning on making pop hits that millions of 9 year olds will buy) and we want someone to make a logo for us.

The name of the company is Battlefish, the creator of the logo will get full credit, and I will be very greatful.

The person who makes the best logo, as decided by me and my friend wins a prize, they get the choice between

  • any (available) .com domain paid for one year (you will need to provide me with the nameservers and other details)
  • any (available) .uk domain paid for two years (co.uk/org.uk/me.uk etc..., you will need to provide me with the nameservers and other details)
  • £5 (via PayPal)

you will get your prize in the new year

all entries must be in by the end of the week, if there is a lack of interest, ill extend it.

The logo must be original, don't conform to what is already available - come up with something 'out there' for extra brownie points.
While it is true i said a fish with guns would be cool, dont take everything so litterally, try and think of something that fits in with the logo, but isnt so obvious.
Oh, and ill throw in a gmail invite :refuck: (j/k)

RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-20-2004 at 08:03 PM

These are all great, however I need something that will look good when shrunk down to icon size.

Also, I added another thing to the choices the winner gets.


RE: logo for me? by Jhrono on 12-20-2004 at 11:16 PM

RE: logo for me? by ~INVASION~ on 12-21-2004 at 09:05 AM

HERE is my lil attempt i think i can make the fish better tho maybe ill make a seconde attempt
[Image: attachment.php?pid=350082]

hell ill throw in a gmail invite to the winner


its not like anybody needs one


RE: logo for me? by John Anderton on 12-21-2004 at 02:18 PM

I dunno how to make such pics or i would have. But i do have an idea for someone who can.
Why doesn't someone make a pic with a fish holding a gun like a solider or a group of fishes standing in line and all of 'em holding guns like in the HBO special series "Band of Brothers®" and at the bottom you can write "Battlefish Records™"
Hows that ?? If you like this idea you can mak the pic. I know its really difficult if not nearly impossible (i think it'll take quite some time) to make this pic. If u're that good then try it.


RE: logo for me? by Jhrono on 12-21-2004 at 02:38 PM

ok if you draw the fishs i'll put it all together!...hey i THINk nbdy is drawing the fishes...at least not me:P...aw i'll try to make a fish...


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-21-2004 at 03:00 PM

ok, i was talking to my friend, and we were brainstorming rough ideas for a logo, and we came up with this rough idea...

[Image: attachment.php?pid=350135]

that thing in the middle is meant to be a shark, i.e. looking at a shark from the front, then around it is meant to be a circle (not an oval) with the words battlefish records going round it, the circle is broken up by the fin of the shark.


RE: logo for me? by Jhrono on 12-21-2004 at 03:15 PM

i'll do it at night...gotta go to lisbon=)...


RE: logo for me? by Fergy on 12-21-2004 at 03:44 PM

I made 2 versions
Simple:
[Image: battlefish.jpg]

Not so simple:
[Image: battlefish2.jpg]

The reason is you cant have a real complex logo on the spine of a cd.


RE: logo for me? by user27089 on 12-21-2004 at 04:20 PM

here is my not so complete version of what I am creating:

[Image: attachment.php?pid=350166]


RE: logo for me? by Eljay on 12-21-2004 at 04:28 PM

heres my version 2 :P
[Image: attachment.php?pid=350171]


RE: logo for me? by user27089 on 12-21-2004 at 04:34 PM

That is very agressive and quite bad to be honest, you want something a little less serious, it looks like something that you'd see on the front of a slipknot album.


RE: logo for me? by andrey on 12-21-2004 at 05:17 PM

Well here's my not finished attempt based on sarals sketch:
[Image: attachment.php?pid=350189]
what do you think, should i continue ?
It's far away from being finished jet..


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-21-2004 at 05:25 PM

that looks like a pretty good attempt, take away the background, and that line drawing style of pic is something i really like


RE: logo for me? by Stephen on 12-21-2004 at 05:26 PM

Im making my better one now... 1st... ;)


RE: logo for me? by andrey on 12-21-2004 at 09:19 PM

:wall: I had to redo the textures because my computer crashed when I wanted to save it...and I will redo them again because the dodgy .pspimage merged some of the layers..
This is how far I got, but i probably won't work on it today and tomorrow.
[Image: attachment.php?pid=350276]
Rather crappy cuz I haven't got much experience in such image designing things :-/
I have to change the background but I have no idea which i should use, then the eyes and the mouth aren't finished either..

Keep on posting other logos, i'm sure there will be much better ones than mine :)
So who's giving it a try ? Guido maybe ? :P


RE: logo for me? by Purity on 12-22-2004 at 01:04 AM

Here is wat i got so far...can someone please help me with text wrapping, maybe if i win u could get a lil bit of hte prize.:D

Edit: crap wont let me put in the PSP file :( brb

Edit: here we go.....


RE: logo for me? by Jhrono on 12-22-2004 at 02:46 AM

Yours ar all great but i think this one rules(only for the work LOL...) i did the fish and the revolver at free hand mx and then hand painted it in firewroks n' tiped the letters..
[Image: attachment.php?pid=350335]


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-22-2004 at 11:01 AM

Andrey, I think yours has potential, however if you dont have any textures it will look really cool. Im planning on making a plaque style thing out of perspex at school, so thats why i want it in blocks.


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-22-2004 at 06:29 PM

get what done?

Thanks AJD, It isn't finished yet, I still have to make it a circle, because as you can probably see, it is cut off :cheesy:

oh yeah. tut tut. this will not do traxor!

EDIT: There is a bit of blue missing off the very top :)


RE: logo for me? by John Anderton on 12-23-2004 at 05:20 PM

Traxor i'd choose yours immediately cause its awesome. 5 Star effort. Newayz i was thinkin how did ya make it. Which software ?? Is it fireworks and is it free.
This is for everyone else. Did anyone like the idea i posted. I know it hard to make but hows the idea ???


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-23-2004 at 06:29 PM

these are all very good, Traxors, urs is pretty good, AndreY - its a pity you havent done any more work on that sketch you did, i thaught it had some potential.

P.S. I will need all the files related to the image (i.e. .psd files and stuff).

Competition ends on Sunday


RE: logo for me? by Jellings on 12-23-2004 at 08:06 PM

I attached the zipped .pspimage in this post, you can edit it and change anything you want in Paintshop, if you want.

..sorry again :-/


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-25-2004 at 09:16 PM

damn, thats a shame.

Because the forums were down for most of today, I am extending the competition deadline to Monday.


RE: logo for me? by user27089 on 12-25-2004 at 10:22 PM

I think that its going to be a tough competition, I'm not submitting anymore, regardless of the quality of other users logos etc... we all deserve the equal chance to win, so I'm not going to post loads, cause if I do, then it will decrease the chance of the other competitors...

I just want to say good luck to everyone else who is competing and that I hope that you win as much as I hope that I win. :).


RE: logo for me? by Stephen on 12-25-2004 at 11:01 PM

Thanks mate. Hope you do well to, with the graphics you posted. :)


Comp finishes tomorrow man. :O

Ill make some better great ones NOW! and geting them up tomorrow morning as it has been a long day... if you know what i mean.. being Christmas and all. :P

Nice Night Everyone. Talk Tomorrow. ;)

RE: logo for me? by leito on 12-27-2004 at 03:34 AM

saral, I think you should look for another type of logo. That circle is just non funcional.

I was thinking (and working also, but my computer crash) in some kinda of "medieval" fish, for your logo and the text in some.. modern and simple font.

What do I mean by "medieval fish", maybe some fish like the one that would appear in a coat of arms, like the Barbados coat of arms

RE: logo for me? by Jhrono on 12-27-2004 at 03:41 AM

saral personally i think you shouldn't pick the company's name allready...or smthng that didn't demand to be a fish...cause all this proposals are great but all of them have fishes and stuff...can't u think of a newer name...(i think you wont but that's my sugestion)

Yes, you could use my lion, for example! hahaha, I'll be posting a BattleLion example (just to show the hole idea.. of the logo and text), until I receive more feedback, I will continue in the BattleFish logo.

RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-27-2004 at 05:37 PM

leito - i like it a lot, just make the fish a bit less pixelized and it will be there (Y).

According to my watch there are 3 Hours 30 minutes left.

of the top of my head, it finishes at 3PM your time (your GMT -6, right?)


RE: logo for me? by leito on 12-27-2004 at 06:05 PM

Ok, I'm still working on the fish, It should look as smoothly as the lion is when I finish.

3 hours left... I don't know if I can finish it, cuz I have a meeting in the city at 3 PM, and I'm leaving 2:30.

(Hope you can extend the curfew)
You don't need a Logo before January! Who starts a Record Label the 28 of December?? hahaha,


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-27-2004 at 06:06 PM

if you post everything you have done before you leave, then i'll see what I can do :)


RE: logo for me? by saralk on 12-27-2004 at 06:59 PM

i prefered the writing in the old logo, but the fish needs to be less pixelized

Now what's your domain going to be?

Runner-up means second place.  The person that came in second best.  Commended is like third place.

By the way,  have you gotten a chance to talk to saral yet?
I havent yet, but I've added him already.


EDIT:
Hah, does anybody else have contests like this ?
And prizes are somewhat things like a domain or webhosting ?
I'm itching for something to do.

I was going to buy, my name's domain name; but I still have to talk with saralk, about the terms.

Thank you for the explanations, my english, sometimes sucks! hahaha I haven't talk to him, I don't have his address.

Oh My God leito.gt no wonder u won that symbol is amamzing. I told u that design with the lion was a prize winning idea !!! U made a similar fish and there u go. U WIN Congratulations man u deserved . It does not that other entries couldn't have but i liked yours a LOT.
Post your domain here. I'd love to visit it cause if u can make a pic like this how will your site be cause thats nothing in front of making that pic.
If u want free hosting without banners and ads then go to the foll. site
http://free.hostdepartment.com/ Its free with 100 Mb webspace and ftp access. I think thats enough :P
