    Here's something quick, it's about a 20-30 minute job (since that's how long it took me so it's rough) for me and just a rough draft copy of the idea behind the logo I envisioned. You can work with this as well, easily strip the graphic underneath, incorporate it with a different background (although this design itself would look better with a lighter background color, etc)

    Better off going that route if you are doing this for a business to avoid any potential litigation in the future.

    if somebody enters a contest and they know what they recieve if the logo is used, IMO it would be stupid to file a law suit afterwards.
    I know i wont, i would be happy to win his prize, thats enough for me, even if afterwards he makes millions with the logo, i dont care about that.

    That's why I mentioned that for the contest, the person must be willing to give up all rights to the logo if they win such contest.

    Here is my submission. It is simple, tasteful, and would work well as a logo on a web site, letterhead, business card, etc.
    I originally had it with a border around it, but then it would not work well for somethings. This way as long as the back ground it white it looks like it belongs almost anywhere.

    vdb,

    What you are rapidly starting to learn is why graphic artists make more than ~ $6 to design a logo. :too-funny:

    With logo design, you basically get what you pay for.:D

    Getting ideas here is fine... a fun experience but you'll probably not get anything you'll be happy with.

    I created logos (a long time ago- pre-computer days)... and I used a lot of information about the personality of the company to come up with a concept. Slapping together a typeface and photo doesn't say much about the company.

    If you want something that speaks about your image, you're going to have to go pro.

    But i must agree, you get what you pay for.
    If i have more time (and a better payout :p ) i could do some better, but these are simple and realtivly fast made.

    Should i win, i will provide you with the winning logo with transparant background to, so you can easely implement it if you want to use it.

    JB's would be better if the ASE was more of a graphic representation (similar to Koen's); and Koen is on the right track, but simplicity is the key to good logo design (Apple, HP, IBM, Microsoft, etc). There is never any need to put extra info into a logo design; that info goes into a letterhead or business card next to the logo.

    I thought the same thing too, but I couldn't find one that I liked that was free to use and I didn't have time to draw one up. I would want at least a few days to sketch it out a few times (I'm a little crazy like that).

    I know a legit graphic designer would cost a lot of money but I figure it would be fun for some of you guys and it appears it has been. I will end the contest on sunday night. So until you see me announcing a winner, you can enter. Also, I see a lot of beautiful logos and it will be a tuff competition. And lastly, I do not have a store (as I am 16) so this is just a website so people can see what I do so just a nice image would suffice. It won't be used anywhere else besides that one spot. KEEP EM COMING!

    I don't mean a poster filing lawsuit but they might inadvertently copy a logo or design a logo that is already copyrighted.
