Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

The offer is brought to you on behalf of the Elastic Project. Elastic Project is an innovative way to link the power of cloud computing with the reliability of the blockchain technology.
Our website is developed by independent community members at http://www.elastic-project.org.

Your task is to create a new, nicely looking logo (that fits the website design) and submit it by May 7th, 2016 8pm GMT here in this thread.
Remember: simple is better. Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

You agree that all posted logos are published in the public domain.
After the submission deadline, I will create a public poll, lasting for 24 hours, and let the community decide which one is the best. The poll will be restricted to accounts that have been registered before the creation date of this thread.

The winner receives a bounty of 0.10 BTC. If the logo we eventually pick is different from the logo that has won in the poll, both designers will receive 0.10 BTC each. Designers are solely responsible to determinate what, if any, taxes apply to this bounty.

EDIT:
Please keep in mind, that the logo needs to replace the current logo on the website. This means you have to pay special attention to the correct dimensions and the right color. A blue logo might not fit very well on the blue background and constitutes a bad example.

You are requested to submit:
1.) your logo on a transparent background.
2.) your logo embedded into the following screenshot so we can get a feeling for the final result.

Hi. Is it only 48 hours contest?
Kinda little time for something really good.
But i will give it a shot.

Extended to May 7th, 2016 8pm GMT.

i have a question with this one
"After the submission deadline, I will create a public poll, lasting for 24 hours, and let the community decide which one we take."
how if there's exist so many fake upvoters and how you can prevent it?

i might join with this contest but i have same question like aubert, what about the fake voters,as we know that it's too easy to create a new account,
Why not to choose the winner by yourself ??

Good point, I realize this could become an issue. Due to the decentralized nature of the project, I feel I simply do not have the credentials to authoritatively decide who the winner is. What if we restrict the vote to accounts that have been registered before the creation date of this thread?

Sounds fair enough, but I don't think thats a best method, since I guess there are some users who have many alt accounts before and they could use it to join the voting :) Even I once heard a participant of some contest made a giveaway for few users if they vote his design.

Anw I am interested to join this contest 8) Good luck all

Blah blah blah
You people talk too much ;) while my secondary and third entry are done.
I know you wanted this to be simple but I couldn't resist adding some ornaments  ::)

Having the community to vote is not a good option as people have many alternate accounts.You may not find the right logo .Instead why don't you simply share the logo with your team and select the best ?Much efficient.

I know how to solve this problem. If the logo we eventually pick is different from the logo that has won in the poll, both designers will receive 0.10 BTC each. So there is no worst case here: when a badly designed fake submission collects the bounty by using multiple sybils, we pick a different one. Because we can not prove a manipulation with 100% certainty in this case, I decided that both designers will receive the promised 0.10 BTC bounty. If on the contrary the sybilled logo is good enough, it can be assumed that we would have picked it in an authoritative selection anyway and so only one bounty is paid out.

Well you should know that the one who decide the winner isnt the OP, but community.

Any ideas on what you'd want? I'm asking a friend to help me make one.
Something like this:

With the cloud showing the cloud-based aspect and the infinity showing the dynamicity of the service?

I'll try getting a couple more ideas to you, let me know any specifics.

EDIT: Transparent background

Outstanding work! Please keep in mind, that the logo needs to replace the current logo on the website. This means you have to pay special attention to the correct dimensions and the right color. A blue logo might not fit very well on the blue background and constitutes a bad example.

You are requested to submit:
1.) your logo on a transparent background.
2.) your logo embedded into the following screenshot so we can get a feeling for the final result.

Now for something truly elastic:
https://i.imgur.com/K6EA3UN.png  

I'm trying to create a white-only logo, as I think it'd look decent on that background.

https://i.imgur.com/m3R8JeX.png

https://i.imgur.com/yOMIky0.png

I'll definitely change the font and maybe modify the size of the logo.
Any preferences? Does a single-color white logo look good according to you?
(I can send you the design file directly if you want, but image hosts such as imgur don't seem to use an alpha channel, making the logo look like a empty white image)

Ooo man, this thread will crash a lot of browsers :D

Especially if you keep filling in bad quality logos.I don't want to demotivate you but you really need to work on your skills before submitting random entries .

@OP : You should keep a voting criteria then,allow only Full Member above to cast the votes.

Alright, here is another try.

https://i.imgur.com/ox86zri.png

Tell me if you want any changes in the logo/font/size OP.

Why such a short deadline.

I might give it a try, although some of these logos are pretty good.

I think that will be my last entry.
9 or 10 logos per contest should be  more than naff.
Probably i wont win again but that was good nice fun to create some drawings
for you guys. Hope that more excellent and clever logos will come soon.
Good luck to all of you that participated.

you should have a lot to learn graphic design, not a lot of upload, no offense  :D

May add to the title screenshot later.

My name is jacktheking and I am still new to logo designing. I probably only have three weeks of experience of using Adobe Illustrator. Anyway, here is my simple looking logo for your website.

Using inspect HTML to put the image instead of pasting into the screenshot you provided. This is to ensure that your website code will work with my logo.

---

Now, let me present the logo to you.

http://imgs.us/images/2016/05/07/002af6cc.png

Created using licensed Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator software. So there is no worry for being sued by Adobe. Using Illustrator also mean that this logo can be in any size you want - be it 100 px width or 1000 px width, there will be no quality lost.

Font family is Verdana. The font family is free to use for anyone, that mean, there is no copyright infringement involved.

The logo is simple. However there is a depth thought behind it. The icon at the end is a mascot I designed for "Elastic". The mascot contain all the characters from "Elastic", no more, no less. I believe this is the prefect mascot to represent "Elastic".

The logo fits the website style, because it is specially created by me for "Elastic", and only "Elastic".

The logo is in the correct dimension since it is specially made for "Elastic". In addition, it is created in Adobe Illustrator, so whenever you want ... you can change the dimension for whatever reason - be it when you are making a small business card or a large poster.

The logo is in the correct colour, because the two colours used is the same as the logo which "Elastic" is using - which I believe is the colours of your choice.


Public domain is not marked. However, the logo will be released under public domain if "Elastic" decided to use my logo. Watermark will also be removed.

Addition technical information:

This logo consider of only two solid colours. So the file size is small and hence the load time is faster. Additionally, if someone ever wished to use this logo on printed materials, the cost of printing will be much lesser than printing a logo with gradient colours.

Since it only consists of two colours, if at anytime, the web developers decide to change the website style, the logo can be easily modified to fit with the new colours of the new style. Be it dark or light style.

I study logo and this logo is specially designed by me for "Elastic".

(lol spent two hours creating the logo and typing this :))

Here's my entry:

It's an open-source vector, bro.
Any one can customize it. :)

This contest is now closed. Thank you so much for your submissions.

The 24h voting period will begin in 12 hours, I will create a separate thread for that.

Don't forget to add the voting criteria only Full Members or Members and above are allowed to vote.You can creating new accounts and self voting doesn't take long,we have experts in that domain here.

good caught man, I guess OP doesnt want any customized logo, bcause it could be a problem for his project in future :)

yeah that's right, this logo can't be copyrighted by op because maybe the same logo already used by another company,and 0.1 seems a waste for a logo which use open-source vector + added few text

All submissions were required to be put in the public domain and so any intellectual property rights were required to be explicitly forfeited. This is impossible for most logo templates because they often have competing licenses such as CC, GNU Free Documentation or the Free Art License. Unless the template is in the public domain itself, I'm afraid we cannot accept it here.

I will provide my logo with the PSD so that OP can make color changes or any further tweaks if they want in future like : On Christmas they can add caps on the logo or whatever occasions.
