• Specific logo request (20 EUR reward)
    41 replies, posted
Hello. Referring to [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=926201]my thread[/url] in General Discussion regarding a survey on a school project. Said project involves a digital school bag. The project is named [B]EasyBag[/B]. The concept behind is that school bags are heavy, back crushing burdens and notes or assignment papers you put unsorted in your bag disappear as if your bag ate it. Then, of course, you find it a year or two later compressed to nothing on the bottom of your bag. Another concept involves the fact that school books are usually outdated, ranging from mildly outdated to horrifyingly outdated, and they gradually become worn, smelly and sticky, which is something we also want to prevent by continuously updating the digitized books. As suggested in the title, we offer a [B]20 EUR reward[/B] if we choose your logo, which will be issued either by PayPal or Steam gift. What we're looking for: [list] [*]Futuristic looking logo (not Starwars style, but something symbolizing the innovation behind the idea) [*]Apply [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle]KISS[/url] [*]Stick the design to something that symbolizes our brand (EasyBag) [*]The dimensions should be properly fitting the picture at the bottom of this post (the one with the login screen). The picture is in 1:1 format. If you make a big one and then resize it, please include both the original and resized submission. [B]NOTE:[/B] if you, however, deem the dimensions of the login window to be too weird for your style, please include it in your post so that we can eventually resize the window to fit your submission. [/list] A sample image for you to look at to determine color patterns and whatnot: [img_thumb]http://i44.tinypic.com/nffklk.png[/img_thumb] The logo will first and foremost go on the login screen pictured below (where you see the "logo" label). It will also be on a splash screen that hasn't been designed yet, but will look vaguely similar (without window borders and login controls of course!) [img_thumb]http://i43.tinypic.com/29v1cnt.png[/img_thumb] Excuse the Danish. If you need any further information, feel free to post in this thread or PM me if you like. Thanks in advance.
I'll see if I can whip up something if I ever get the time.
i got this far before realising it sucked and gave up [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/e6al8i.png[/IMG] and to think i was going to do it for free
I gave you a heart for the attempt Rusty.
if i get any better ideas i'll still accept no payment (if they're any good and chosen that is)
Thanks for giving a clear, well written and detailed OP. How about something similar to: [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/easybag.png[/IMG] If you had the tower like a satchel bag (which is the modern aspect - it's a PC, so it shows your files are on the computer, and the files (which could be schoolbooks, binders etc) coming out of it, to show it contains your books and that.) And as well it's a bag style which a lot of young people have at the moment It sticks to KISS because it's simple, it's just a computer but open. I could put a zip on the end of the opening and along the sides. Then the service name is on there for obvious reasons, which would be in a simple font because simple -> easy, [i]Easy[/i]Bag (but I don't know what font I'd use, it's century gothic at the moment. There could be a strap on the PC to make it look more bag-like. And eventually it'd all be vectored. [b]UPDATE:[/b] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bag12.png[/IMG] Sorry about the red background, I was working with it that colour so I can see the white edges. Basically what I said before, but with files coming out of it (not done them yet.) Also, what should I do for the strap? I'd use a cable but it'd be quite thin, which is the main problem. Might just do a normal strap. [b]UPDATE[/b] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bagtext.png[/IMG] Done. I have a .psd @ 5000x2000 but you can get it any size because it's a vector. I think the text needs to be smaller and I could add a power button to show that it's a computer or something. Plus I think just the bag on its own would be enough if you just used the one with text on main login. [b]UPDATE[/b] How it would look on your login screen. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bagloginside.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/easybagtop.png[/IMG]
I'll give it a go. Maybe something like this?

[QUOTE=Rusty100;21770165][IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/k3tcib.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Thanks a lot for the submission this far, they're cool. The above quoted is definitely interesting. My partner and I both agreed that we like it, but we're looking for something to symbolize that we're utilizing a software application and the internet to organize the notes, assignments and books. The idea is good, if you could just tweak it to obey the following keywords a bit more, [I]without overdoing it[/I] and taking away the idea you've got right there: [list] [*]Software [*]Internet [*]Innovation [*]Technology [/list] Again, no need to completely reconstruct the logo you've already got, just tweak it - hope you get my point. Could you also, as a side request, merge the Word-file icons used a few posts above with the picture Rusty made somehow? It could look interesting.
idk [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/35jmpzs.png[/IMG]
That's a nice one Rusty. We'll let it be going for a while to see what will come up.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;21773204]idk [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/35jmpzs.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] If he's going to use it don't put the ms word icon on it - I tried to avoid that.

[quote][img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bagtext.png[/img][/quote]I'm voting for aero's design, and yeah, avoid actual logos and symbols like the word document, it's usually not a good idea to use copywritten stuff on things you're getting paid for.

Worth 1000 does competitions like this, look there if you want some other choices.

And also with the IE ring, yes it's based off it, but I recreated it and changed it. Plus, even if it was straight from IE they're not going to complain about just the ring, they're generic as hell. I could just claim I'm ripping off the planet Saturn.
My go at it. If you like it I'll upload higher res files. [URL=http://img138.imageshack.us/i/easybag.png/][IMG]http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6091/easybag.png[/IMG][/URL]
Thanks once again for the submissions this far. We're letting this continue for possibly 2-3 days (there is a slight possibility that we might extend this).
Her er nogle forskellige forsøg! Here are some different test bags! [IMG]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1040/logocopyc.png[/IMG]
don't represent anything about the service he's providing and don't look that great to begin with
[IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Easybaglogo.png[/IMG] Meh, willing to refine.

Thanks Jaanus.
I love it but would it not look more bag-like if the strap's ends were at the side rather than at the top, so it looks less like a purse and more like a bag?

If you'd get the upper background look more glossy and make the text stand out more...
The problem with the upper one, though, is that it doesn't blend in due to our design. A very light blue background with a deep blue logo don't fit together.
i'm not a fan of it either
[QUOTE=Rusty100;21773204]idk [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/35jmpzs.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] This, i think, is the best one so far!
