Logo Contest $100

**bigzy** · 11-06-2006, 12:34 PM

Hello, finally i have made my 20 posts to be able to start my official contest.

I am honest and reliable simply wanting a custom made logo design professionally made for the moneys worth.

This is my first attempt at this so please feel free to ask me anything you need me to elaborate on.
I do not know much about web design or logo design so excuse me if i don't use the correct jargon but i will try my best to give the best feedback i can and the best design will be paid via paypal and i would like to receive the logo design via either a link you provide to download or e-mail. I would also like a copy on cd mailed to my office building. Thanks and good luck!!!!!

Design: Logo for Bigzy

What it is: Bigzy is a solo music artist (Hip Hop/jazzy/beats)

Official website: www.bigzy.net (this may help and provide more info on who he is.

Looking for: Either a design with the words bigzy or a custom symbol made of some sort relating to bigzy. Or any other suggestions taken.

Colours: I would like two versions of the logo, one with a original colour you make, preferably the colours i have used in www.myspace.com/1bigzy and another version to blend in with the website www.bigzy.net as i will use it on there. The original will be used on album cover, advertising and performances so keep that in mind. Must be clear and stand out!!!

Closing date and official winner anouncement: 8th November this time, but i have the right to announce a winner before this wednesday if i like a specific design too much!

Hope i will find something on here as i have seen some great designs!

Thank you and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Bigzy. I'm sure you'll get some great responses.

**ctess** · 11-06-2006, 12:45 PM

I will try and have something posted by later tonight. I'm new to these specific forums but have been doing graphic design/graphic webdesign for a few years.

Count me in. I'll try to have something later tonight for you.
You can never like a design to much.

**bigzy** · 11-06-2006, 02:57 PM

thats a nice image neon,but it doesnt really have the colours i asked for and its just a symbol, doesnt relate to bigzy or anything at all with the artist. Just honest feedback. Keep them coming.
Thx

**NeoWeapon** · 11-06-2006, 03:18 PM

is images allowed (not from google or what so ever, just drawn by us) like maybe a cartoonist emcee with a mic in a logo style or whatsoe ever, is that acceptable?

**bigzy** · 11-06-2006, 03:48 PM

yea, that could be an idea, but it would have to at least look somewhat similar to the artist and include the writing. there are pictures on the websites i have given.

Thx.

wow, very good for first attempt... Im liking the concepts you have placed, the font you have used to make the B is nice but only nice, id like to see something different, maybe bigger and making it more obvious that its a b. The 3d effect you did with the 3rd one is a nice design as well, is it possible not to have the backgrounds at all?or at least having minimal background or different color to accompany the logo, white is a no no. id prefer no background atall if its possible

keep them coming...

Thx so far.

They are on transparent backgrounds, I didn't use gif so it doesn't preserve transparency. The 3D one has to have a rendered plane in order to have correct lighting...thats whta makes it 3D.

As for the B, it's not a font I made it by hand.

does this mean the 3d one has to be in gray? I do like the B but id like to see it bigger and maybe with a star effect on the letter, id like to see the bigzy uder the flat designs too and maybe have a shadow instead of a flat logo.

Thanks, sorry so picky but i want this to be a perfect design and one i will use forever.

Thx

**ctess** · 11-06-2006, 05:44 PM

No I can make the 3D logo in any color you want I just have to re-render it. I will post a new version in about 2 hours...I have to go take care of some things and I will be back to modify it.

yes, do you mind if i make a graphical emcee with perhaps tagging with your name? i can freehand a tag for you, since graffiti is part of hip hop, and the style of words is used alot in bboying, emceeing, and such.

**djgperu** · 11-06-2006, 06:25 PM

this is my mock-up ... i will be coming up with more (different) ideas, hopefully

**bigzy** · 11-06-2006, 06:45 PM

djgperu ---> it's not a bad design however the font is a bit too child-like and the overall logo represents a company name rather than a musician in my opinion. Also, not worth $100 in my eyes.

thanks for your input though.

**Juice Daddy** · 11-06-2006, 08:57 PM

I haven't posted in a while, been busy..

well, here's my first attempt:

I tried to keep the color scheme...

also, if I happen to win, I won't be able to send a cd... (don't have any) lol

feedback appreciated

**MissLee** · 11-06-2006, 11:11 PM

I spent some time at the drawing board while listening to some of the tracks on your site and the following two concepts are what came from the session. Feedback is always welcome, color and fonts can be changed at a click.

**ctess** · 12:13 AM

I re-did the B. I'm still tweaking it a bit so it doesn't look so much like a 3. Is that big enough for you? The entire logo can be resize to any size as well. I like to keep them small at first.
