Playmaker Logo Design Competition (Closed - Results within!)

Postby playmaker on Sun Jan 09, 2005 1:43 pm

Competition closed! - Read on for results! (admin)

I (Playmaker) am looking for a new funky - fresh "Playmaker" logo for my website, releases, and for all promotional material.

I've teamed up with ACAPELLAS4U to arrange that the winner is given 100 (1 hundred) bonus download credits as a prize. Also a special mention (with link to the winning design) on my website. Of course you will see your handywork on all forthcoming 12". :)

The closing date of this competition is the 16th of Feb 2005 - so that gives you exactly a month. JPG format for the preview is fine, however, the winning logo provider will be expected to provide the fantastic artwork in .eps format along with the required size dimensions when requested.

The Competition will be judged by yours truly and Martin at M7 Managment.

One final note, if for some reason the winner fails to provide all of this within the said timescale then another entrant will be picked..

50 of the 100 pella downloads will be given once the winner's been chosen and the other 50 will be issued upon receipt of the artwork.

So hurry up guys and good luck!!

Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions!

TWSTED, thanx for your reply, but 1 reply per topic is enough, and turn off the caps please. ;)

Im looking for a strong, fresh, house:ish logo, my suggestion would be to make some different styles, post some previews here, and good luck :)

dj phenom, djdesire I guess if your spamming this forum more you will be banned. Cheers!

four15 Thank you for your contribution! :) This looks promising!
The winner will be contacted on Monday the 20th of February.

...About that "house-ish" I wrote, that was maybe a strange explanation, but I guess you can tell if someone does hard-rock or electronic music by only looking at their logo, right? :)

Oh by the way, what's your current logo? Is it the one in your Avatar? Do you have an idea of the style your looking for? Is there a limit to the number of ideas we can enter?

Crin> Wicked, looking forward to see what u come up with! :)

About current logo, I don't have one, the one on the avatar is one of the record companies I release stuff on.
It's hard to say exactly what style I wan, but a clean, up to date´( ? ) one,
and maybe reflects something about what I do, but I know it's hard..!

And it's no limit how many ideas you have really,
well say a 100 would be too much ! ;)

Good luck! :)

Ok....

I've done a bit of work on this, it's all in vector format like you asked and I can make any changes or tweaks that you'd like doing easily enough and repost. The first image is my brainstorm and then some colour tests on the ones I feel work the best.

Let me know what you think.

here's my entry, it's rough at the moment, if your not interested no point doing to much eh? the idea behind it is simple. music is played on vinyl=vinyl is played on slipmat's=slipmat's are used by playmaker... the colour is mono for now and can be changed to whatever as it's an eps as required.

and just so you can see what it looks like on a deck (just for a laugh like)

the one with play ontop of maker!!

You both are more than welcome to do even more alternatives on the same ideas there!! That goes to everyone of course. :)

@ Playmaker

let me know of any specific tweaks you want doing that would make the design better in your eyes and I can work on them before the closing date, yeah?

Hi all!

j4s1o, cool!
thanx for the contribution and welcome to the contest! :)

Crin, as this is a competition I don't want to say too much about changes, tweaks etc. to you, or any other of the competitors. ;)

As Mr. Acapella Boss said , closing date is the 16th of Feb 2005,
and that leaves you with about 1,5 week to post your contributions!
As spoken about before JPG is fine as preview, but the winning logo have to be delivered in eps format, so it's easy to resize, print and do the whatever stuff with it. 8)

100 Acapella downloads is in the pot, should keep you happy at least a year!! :D

cheers,
playmaker

Competition closed

Hey all!

I just want to say a quick "Thank you!" to all you people that have contributed to this logotype contest.
I am very impressed with all the logos, and now the hard work starts to decide who the winner is.

The Winner, that will receive the 100 download credits, will be announced on next wednesday, the 23rd of February 2005. It was set to monday the 20th first, but due to alot of good contributions, it takes a couple of days more to review all of them!

That's all for now,
and... I'll be back! :)
Thank you for your time.

With big eyes like this :shock:, nervous syndromes after all coffee drinking, and backpains,
the jury have carefully looked thru all the contributions, and finally come up with a decision
- who the winner is of the Playmaker Logo Competition 2005.

And, as "manutdman" already started with the drumroll there.... :D

THE WINNER IS..........
*opening envelope.....*

*scratching my head*

*whispering "pssth, mate this is the lottery ticket, where's the other envelope"*

*hrm, sorry*

............ AND THE WINNER IS!! :

:arrow: WILDE-UK

Applause!

I would like to thank everybody that have contributed to this competition.
It was a very hard decision for us (martin at m7 management, acapella, and some other label people),
but we all felt that wilde-uk's logo was THE one.

I have a special treat for everyone involved in this,
that will be announced real soon!
So you don't get out of this empty-handed anyway! ;)

I will get back to all of you after the weekend, and thanx again! :D

cheers,
take care,

I'd like to thank my mum, my dad and my brother for supporting me throughout the turbulent years.

But most of all i'd like to thank my boss for not finding out that I did these during work hours... :lol:

Thanks for all your comments, I can feel a tear of enjoyment welling up... :D
