Hello all! I'm the guitarist for an up and coming hard rock/metal band based out of MD called "Almost Human." We're currently in the process of recording our debut EP, and we'll be designing our website directly afterwards.

We're looking for someone to design a new logo for the band. It can be as simple or elaborate as you like, as long as it fits our style and music. We could be compared to bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, RUSH, Corrosion of Conformity, etc. We're looking for a logo that reflects that direction, and would encourage anyone to look to those bands logos/album covers for inspiration (no "death metal" designs please).

We would gladly toss someone some cash their way through Paypal for their services (probably in the $20-$50 range initially) as well as note them for the design creation on our album, "Making of" DVD, website, and anything else we use the logo for in the future. We will also need some album cover art and possible additional web design work done in the future, so if we really like what you do, we may have a lot of paying gigs for you down the road (worth more than $20-$50 obviously)!

If you want to submit an idea, feel free to do it here or to jackbeard@hotmail.com - Thanks for all your help!

hmmm... I'll see if I can come up with anything...

Thanks for the response...Looking forward to seeing what you and others come up with!

Ha, I get about $300 - $600 for a logo

so... what does that have to do with this?

Then simply don't offer your services. It's as simple as that. It doesn't warrant a post from you... Considering most big named artists (as well as companies) would do logos for $100 - $250, I would consider yourself fortunate if what you say is true. I've talked with a handful of established and in-demand artists that you see on the covers of countless CD's in stores today, and most of them would do a full album layout and album cover art for not much more than what you claim to charge for just a logo.

The whole idea here was to try to find someone who may not be as well recognized to help us design a simple logo and have their artwork be showcased and credited on multiple media, such as CD's, DVD's, etc. It was a mutual benefit offer, one in which we offered to toss a small sum of cash along with it.

I am extremely busy right now... so I don't when I will have time to make something...

I'll try to have something up before this weekend (no guarrentee's)

No problem! We're not on any tight timelines at the moment. The writing is being finished as we speak, and pre-production on the album won't start until mid-November, so we've got plenty of time to spare...

I just now noticed that there was a "contest" board to advertise for these types of things. I will repost my request there since it seems more appropriate. My apologies for not seeing it sooner (new to the board). I would ask an admin to please close this thread, as I'll repost in the more appropriate forum. Thanks!
