Atomic Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ok, so my wife's company was looking for a new logo. I dabbled in graphic design about 8 years ago (specializing in Identity Systems), but hadn't really done anything of this nature in a while. I devised this one up and submitted it anonomously, but it wasn't selected (which sucks because they were paying $500 for it). Anyway, I figured that I'd show it to see if there was something obviously wrong that I am missing or if I just missed the mark on what they wanted:They also had me do a sample business card (information taken out for obvious reasons):Here is the website with the logo they ended up choosing (designed by one of their IT guys): http://www.buizss.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yours is a cool logo. Two arrows is not. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yep, yours is better. The one thing I don't like or get is how the yellow on the bulb doesn't match up with the black outline. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logoman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think your's is a better visual image than what they went with. You said the magic words, though... the one they did use was designed by their IT guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Why the one they chose won and his didn't simple. The one they chose show interaction between two partners and ideas being swapped. Progression if you will. His is just a light going on. To that I think, "everyone has a great idea, but is it an idea that will change things and move people?" The name of the company is Business Solutions and not Business Ideas, that's the key. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 yours is a bit over complicated, the colours are a bit close in places and your line widthsdiffer greatly across the design. it looks quite dated also.the other guys isnt great, but its certainly has a more modern feel. id have to say thatthe 'old lightbulb' gag is a bit thin too. not to say that the arrows are groundbreaking,but they are at least a little less obvious.nothing wrong with what youve done particularly, it just doesnt really feel like a companymark to be honest.

patsox Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yours reminds me of a logo for an electric company. It's not a bad logo, but it's just obviously not the direction they were looking to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
