Legacy Logo For Game Reseller

1) What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
If the logo is to be displayed on your website, style, colouring and background blend needs to be taken into consideration.
Green or Blue typically. My website is for game reselling and is still in the works. I plan to model it after my current ebay store: stores.ebay.com/game-swapper-dfw

2) Description of your website:
Another aid for our graphics people in deciding on an appropriate style design.
The website/Ebay Store is for buying and selling video games/video game consoles/etc. It’s mostly a functional website. Nothing too frilly.

3) List 3 logo designs you really like & why:
By supplying this info you are helping our graphics people get an idea of the preferred 'style' you are looking for. Either post small images of the logo designs you like or the URL of where the image can be found.

Why I like it: It’s Clear, Concise, and to the point. It’s also my largest competetitor. A little plain for my taste though.

What I like: Cool Logo, Says what it needs to say and has a little flare. Good Colors too. It’s a little bit plain for me.

What I like about this logo : Incoroprates what the business is about, has some flare, not too much going on, still very functional. I Really Like that it’s Circular!

4) Requested size of your logo:
Basically we ask this to determine the graphic's resolution and what it will be eventually used for.
Is the logo to be used solely for the web? (low resolution)
Will it be made into a poster or printed on shirts? (high resolution)
Do you need the final image in various sizes? (various resolutions)
Various Resolutions – I need to use it for fliers, invoices, business cards, website, etc. etc.

5) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
Finding an appropriate, non-copyrighted graphic is the hardest and most time-consuming part of putting together logos. If you have a hand drawn sketch of what you want, please feel free to scan it and post the image.
(please keep any posted graphics under 500 x 500 pixels.)
I was thinking of a “Money Sign” for the “S” in “Gameswapper”. There’s a million of them on google when you search for “dollar sign”. I don’t know which one would fit best in my logo. So up to the designer here. I saw a really cool logo that used the XBOX controller Buttons. Unfortunately, I can’t find that damn thing again. But dang it looked cool and I wouldn’t mind incorporating that into my design!

6) Any colors you prefer?
Self explanatory.
The Xbox Colors (The buttons on the controllers are colored this way): Green, Yellow, Red Blue.


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! I read all the rules before I posted (and the funny joke about the designer and car salesman)!

Thank You,
Casey & Megan Clark "GameSwappers"

 

Oh man! You have F-Zero in your store! If I didn't hate Ebay I'd totaly buy that

Anyways, sounds like a fun request, I'll give it a shot.

 

While you're waiting, check out the forum and help out (like review a website or share some tips or something). Thanks

 

No Problemo! Thank You for your help!

 

I tried to explore the xbox controller theme, not sure how well that worked out. I didn't really have much time to spend on it so thiings got a bit fudged up. Let me know what you think.

Edit: I didn't realise how small I made it xD If ye like it I can remake it at the appropriate size.

 

Recidivist - that is a sweet logo!
I was trying to think of how it'd work...and then I thought, wait, what do the controllers even look like? lol

 

Looks AWESOME!! Only One Slight Issue: Gameswapper needs one more "P" LOL. Can you add one more "P" and I'm all good! Looks sweet though. That definately works for me - you did a great job!

Thanks So much!!

 

Ooooh that's embarrasing I left the second P hidden and floating way off above when I moved stuff around xD

Sorry man, I'll fix it up in a bit.

 

No Problem. Thank You so much for all you've done so far. U Do great work

 

Oh sorry, I totaly forgot about it :x

I'll do it now before I forget.
