Graphic Design Contests

**sWiNgCaT** · 05:42 PM

I've been doing underground work in promotions under the title of Swingcat Promotions, Swingcat Productions or simply Swingcat. The out of my basement company is starting to grow and now I need a real logo.

Suggestions
Limited Colour, I've normally gone all black and white.
Sleek looking font, alternative looking cat image.
Professional.

Can say simply 'Swingcat', 'Swingcat Promotions' or 'Swingcat Productions'.
Below is an image I've used in the past.

(Something I quickly drew up as an example of the kind of 'alternative' cat I'm looking for.) Its clearly a cat, but with a bit of alternative/punky/artistic design to it. The image of the cat can ideally be used as the logo itself, or with the captioning under it.

$15US Paypal transfer immediately on receiving files (.psd).

Contest Deadline Shortened to November 14th.

My go at it. Let me know what you think. Revisions can be easily made.

Woosh - I like how your integrated the cat into the image, however the font isn't as crisp and professional as I'd like. I do a lot of work for Clubs and young upscale clientel, so a crisp, professional look, smooth lines, would be better suited.

Daniel - The font used is good! The cat is too 'Posh' for a lack of a better word. The image of the cat in the logo should be somewhat alternative to the standard cat image. Like the one used in the description. I will post another sample image of what I mean after this.

Denise - I'm like the first image(the one attached to the post, not Imageshack) you submitted. The font, although not what I normally would like, I think works really well. Good submission! I've edited the contest to explain a little better what I want, but this was really good.
The second submitted, I like the text colouring and again the image of the cat is great. This is also close to what I was looking for, it has a clear break between the text and the image of the cat. However the cat isn't as 'logoish' on its own as I'd like.

Don't enter then.

Swingcat, I'll see how much time I get in the next day or two and enter if I can.

No I accidentaly posted a graphic for another guy on this post... so I had to delete it. My bad. =\

**deniseyvonne** · 01:11 PM

Okay. Another Idea. What you were coming out with. Hope you like.
Also a different aproach with the cat as the S.

**deniseyvonne** · 11-01-2006, 03:17 PM

Another Shot at it. might as well give you plenty to look at. =)

**CannonBallGuy** · 11-01-2006, 04:09 PM

I hope this is along the right lines..:

Let me know if you would like me to continue, I can touch it up, add a face, change the font and colours, etc.

Denise, I like the new font a lot, and #5 is great. It allows me to use it as "Swingcat" or I can simply use the 'S' shaped Cat as the logo. At this time I have no further revisions, I'd let it sit for a bit till some other's come in. It is my favourite at the moment.

Cannonball, looks great, I got impatient doing it myself and so scraped the idea. Being my design I clearly have a bias towards it. However, I am looking for something different then my own conceptual logo. So, no don't clean it up.. but I appreciate the effort!

Just making everything clear.

You like the new font on #9.
#5 is great and allows you to use "Swingcat" all together or just the S shaped cat as the logo.

So there are two designs of mine you like? Is this what you are saying?
Just clarifying this.

Will sit back and watch.

**woosh** · 11-01-2006, 06:44 PM

I might have a go at mine again with a slicker font

**djgperu** · 11-01-2006, 09:56 PM

I like #5 all together, I can use the cat as the logo... or Swingcat the full thing. I like that and your first one.
