Graphic Design Contests

**Nano** · 03:27 PM

OK. We need a new logo. The logo that is currently used is attached.

The logo we are looking for has to be simple, few colors, tech inspired, incorporate the name NanoSafeguard and suiteable for retail packaging of our products.

We are therefore not looking for logos with tons of different colors og really large graphics. 1-2 colors will work, and a cool font or creative way to write NanoSafeguard.

Since the name is rather long, we hope to someone can find a way to make it look shorter by using a clever font or way of writing it.

I will try to comment on all entries and give feedback as much as possible as often as possible.

We want to own the winning design/logo by the end of the competition. We strongly suggest that serious designers will browse our website to get a feel of what kind of a products this logo will be representing.

NOTE FROM MODERATOR: See Post #103 to get a good idea of preferred fonts.

Ninja:
Thanks for the entry, but to me it looks too website. I need something more clean cut and simple for retail packaging. Also, the font will not make the word shorter, which is kinda necessary. No borders please/oulines around the letters. Also forget about our tagline for now. Only focus on NanoSafeguard.

I do like the small effect with the O, and the fact you used 2 different colors, but prefer is you think of NanoSafeguard as 2 words and not 3. Also, keep the colors darker. Keep it up.

pigbait: Too simple, and I don't like the red color or font used. Use blue, silver, black and white.

idig: I Think the font used for the word nano is great. Don't like the angled effect, and it still looks more like a website name design. Also, I don't want a 3d effect. Try and play around with it though, and maybe even come up with the name NanoSafeguard on 1 line

Samuel: I like the fact you put in a shield, but unless it differentiates a lot from all other products using shields, I would lose it. Font not quite in my taste, and Safeguard looks like a web button.

I know most of you designers design for websites, but our main goal is to find something that will work on retail packaging. Something which could easily be used on several different colored backgrounds. It would be great if the NanoSafeguard name would be part of the logo, or the name transformed into a logo.

I remember this contest. tons of entries, which were cluttered and website like, but check out the winning logo. I am not saying i like the colors or anything, but the simplicity of it: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/graphi...l-company.html

Everyone: First of all, thanks for all the entries. In my comments, don't take it personal, but trying to write comments as fast as possible, and I am honest about what I like and don't like

We have decided that the word NanoSafeguard will have to be on 1 line. I would love to see someone use the letters of NanoSafeguard creatively e.g. extend part of af letter into an object or swoosh, line etc. Try and keep it simple in terms of colors. Prefereable no shading, gradient etc. Keep Safeguard as 1 word and 1 color. Keep it simple!

Xpress: I don't like the colors, but like your idea about NS, however I could not see it untill I really focused. The font is too simple. Check the feedback on which fonts I like and which I don't and I think you have a really good idea about which font type would work.

Night: Great font and colors, but don't like the logo on the left. I would love to see at least 1 designer transform letters from the word nanosafeguard into the logo, and perhaps have the logo be over or under the word (everything to keep in short in lenght. Could you try and remove your logo on the left and add our half circle from our original logo to your design? Welcome to play around with the size of the half circle.

Beta: NanoSafeguard has to be in 1 word. Like your idea about the drop, but not exactly that drop. Font too boring, check which fonts I have said I like so far, as they have similar styles. Your second entry is too cluttered with drops and still too website looking.

RNH: Like the simplicity, but not the font, and especially not the nano. Do not change colors of the word Safeguard. Did not like the first logo, as it too similar to the one we are using right now.

pig: Too website looking. Need to be one word. Font off. Keep in mind that this is something you should be able to find on labels/packaging in stores.

idig: Like this idea, and the font of nano. Absolutely need to find another font for the Safeguard part though. Not sure if I like the word nano in a "block", but would like to see it without.

Samuel: Really like the font for Nano. Hate the shield

and would like to see a different font for Safeguard. Try and show me the entire word with the font I like.

Staaad: I like the fact you extended some of the letters, and added a twist to them, but the dots are not working for me, however it is something along that line that could work. Not too keen on the font, as it looks a little computer like, think i like font to be more bio or research like

Beta: Like the font+color+simplicity and the idea about the drop, but it makes it look like a brand of water or water purification. Any good ideas to show that it is something that protects from water instead?
