Blog Logo Design Contest: And The Winner Is…
I really enjoyed the wide variety of styles that all six designers applied to their creations, and appreciated the time and effort that each took to participate in this contest!
The competition was fierce, but ultimately I had to choose just one logo.
The winning designer is Brian Kelley, for his second entry:
We are going to tinker with it a bit and perhaps change the background color, but when I placed this particular logo atop a mock up of my new blog template and upon t-shirts and other merchandise, it really popped and looked both amazing and professional.
Brian did his homework and discovered that I am a huge Oakland A’s fan; thus, the green and yellow backdrops on subsequent submissions. I also like that his design includes a contemporary upgrade of two of the pop culture graphics that I currently feature (music & film), while the old-school television represents and reminds me of how I began this journey (in the 70′s, for hours in front of the small screen before remotes or VCRs/DVRs). In addition, it is important that he placed the name prominently, as it is a brand I am trying to expand, and that the font is crisp yet playful.
I informed Brian via email today, and for his winning design, he has chosen to split the $100 value prize in two; $50 cash (for a new Wii game) and a $50 iTunes gift card!
THANK YOU so much to Josh B, Nick H, jbyrondeansigns, John N & Anna H for their contributions! I am in awe of your artistic abilities, my friends.
