    Hi,


    We are a London based rock band who have just signed a 3 year deal and require a professional and fresh new image.

    We already have millions of hits on our myspace so the chosen logo will head for massive exposure over the coming months.


    Visit myspace.com/capefearsite to see the existing image/style. It is a little darker than we would like (in both colour and idea), so we are looking for a fresh new image.


    Have a listen to the tracks to get an idea of the music we play, but think Foo Fighters as a good comparison.


    We require:
    - 1 high quality logo (banner not required) in 300dpi or greater.
    - Prefer psd files so we can edit and create alternatives from the master.
    - Font files (if using non standard fonts).


    Contest will close at 6pm Sunday 6th December (GMT time), and we offer USD50.00 to the winner paid via Paypal.


    Many thanks,
    Dave.

    Here i made 2 totally different approaches with this. The first one is kind of retro rockish style and the second one is more of a punk rock style. Hope i win!!!

    Thanks for all the ideas guys, but they have not really grasped what we are looking for. So far we've had options that either portray us as a skater band, or pink floyd.

    We're a rock band and are looking for something that by just looking at the logo people would recognise that we are a rock band and nothing else.

    If anyone has any new ideas, or you wish to modify your original idea, please feel free to do so and repost here.

    Thanks for all your input so far. We look forward to seeing more logo ideas.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Okay, so you've been given some choices but all seem way off your preferred track.
    Rather than members coming up with stuff that apparently doesn't appeal to you, how about you narrow down what style YOU ARE LOOKING FOR by doing what we ask all our logo request-ees do and that is answer the logo request questions.

    You'll find them here:
    PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING A LOGO

    Sorry guys. Seems I've provided most of the info you require, however not all of it so here goes again.

    1) What is your website address?
    www.myspace.com/capefearsite

    2) Description of your website?
    London based rock band website

    3) List 3 logo designs you really like & why?
    The bands Foo Fighters, Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars. All of these bands have fairly simple designed logo's, but the immediate thing when you look at their logos is that they are logo's of big rock bands.

    4) Requested size of your logo?
    At least 300dpi.

    5) Do you have any images/photos/clipart that can be used for the logo? (these must be copyright free)?
    I've uploaded our current logo which can be used or altered or not used at all. Up to you!

    6) Any colors you prefer?
    Not at all, as we can always change colours later from the master.

    Dave -

    CovertPea is right. We do make everyone follow the rules, even I screwed up.
    Thanks for the repost.

    Looking at the Name of your band doesn't exactly invoke cheerful thoughts. Just look at what was posted for you to view.
    Knowing our members, I am sure they looked over your site and listened to the music ie; the graphics as they see you.
    As for you comment "we are a rock band and nothing else" I might give you Progressive Rock but Rock Band - just can't agree with you on that one, I come from the land and era of rock.

    The band logos you like they are kinda all over the board.
    Foo Fighters - Looks like a on line gaming clan with their name spelled out.

    Muse - 2 bars with their name, really small coupled with large Geometric / Psychedelic Art.

    30 Seconds to Mars - Is into the #3 with an old world 3rd rite touch.

    I'm sure everybody will dig deep - come up with something that you can zero in on.

    Respectfully,
    David

    I have quite a few ideas but not a lot of time to get them down right now (exams), do you have a strict deadline for when you need this logo by (I know you list Dec. 6th)?

    I'd love to give it another go as I now have a better understanding of the direction you would like to go in (straight not curved lines, and a cleaner approach)...

    Hmmm...

    Had to reduce the size to fit it in the box forum. I have the full res copy. Are you going to close this even if you don't find a logo?

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for your submissions, however things are not really heading in the direction that we want, and I think this is in part due to the organising this over a forum.

    I was put onto this by a friend who's had some success in arranging logo's this way, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be working for us, so we have decided to cancel the contest and arrange our logo privately where we can meet the designer face to face and put more time into it prior to actually seeing any logos.

    We appreciate everyone's efforts and thank you for your time.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Good luck
    Remember to communicate your ideas when you are face to face with the designer, it will help.
    After all time is money.

    Anyone else reading this post who wants a graphic - re-read this post a few times, so you understand how not to ask.

    If you have an idea in your head, then take your time describing what you want.
    Take that visualization break it up into it's parts, then post it. State what direction you are headed, colors you like or dislike. Realism, abstract, cartoon, or whatever.
    Give examples and describe why you like each one, what you do not like.
    Do you want it for a whole page. banner, signature or logo.
    These questions and more, along with reading/following the "Sticky Posts" in this forum will produce a graphic you desire.

    If you read several of the posts in this forum, you will see two types, a few like this one, who require us to be mind readers and several who are blown over by the results.
    Just think as if you had to pay for it, you would be giving as much detail as you could and the people here would be rich. Try not to waste everyone's time.
    While you are waiting - try participating it the rest of the forum - after all it is a community of Give and Take.
    If any other of our Graphics Members want to elaborate on what's required please post it now.

    ...

    Well that was an anti-climatic letdown. Nothing like telling us we had a shot at a prize, but then giving it to no one. In the US, that's illegal. I don't know about London, though.
