Just wanted to say I love the site and I wish you prosperity! :]

You're an Ancap too :D

To  be honest, the font logotype is perfect. Swap the font to something more pronounced, and concentrate on the slogan. Complete currency commerce, commerce without borders, fee-free commerce, shopping super charged,  etc. I am not at my most creative right now, but i'll update with some thoughts when i am.

Check out the frutiger font if you have a moment.

You might have better luck picking a proficient designer here and contracting with them. In the design world we call this "spec work" because it is a speculative investment of time which may or may not pay off. This can lead to troubles for designers in general as well as contractors looking for design work. As a designer I think your fee is quite reasonable, and you should have no trouble finding a designer who will make the logo to your satisfaction. I would suggest you ask users to post samples and them make an agreement with one user. This method almost always works out best for everyone. Good luck with your project.

I agree with this. I was going to pitch the idea to someone I know that's great at art and logo design but I decided I don't want to drag them into something that may or may not even pay off. It sucks to spend hours working on something to perfect it, just to find that you get absolutely nothing to show for it.

No *direct* financial benefit, but if you really spent hours on something perfecting it, surely it would be a good addition to your portfolio, where you could *indirectly* benefit from the effort at some point in the future.

A good investment in your own advertising, regardless of whether you get paid immediately or not.

We've decided not to waste any more time on this. Good luck to anyone who enters the contest though, :).

I think you think you are getting a better deal than you are. Spec work often results in problems for contractors as well. Do a search for USAGI on this forum for a good example of how it can go wrong. Additionally pissing off a bunch of your potential user base by exploiting them for cheap labor is not the way to go either. A note to designers, participating in this kind of spec work also devalues your own ability to get paid in other jobs. If someone could get 100 rubes to do it for free why would they pay you? I suggest that any self respecting designer should not participate in spec work.

Hi - i do graphic design and web programming for a living. You can view some of my work at www.hireahenchman.com (http://www.hireahenchman.com) I'm proficient in both graphic design and php programming. Perhaps I can help you? if you want to take a look at my work and PM me if you're interested. It'd be great to discuss some ideas. Also you can add me on skype as hireahenchman

Contact me via PM for the high res logos and ligth versions.

Hey Tom thank you for compliments... If you have question don't hesitate to contact me anytime...
Thx Jan

Note to self: Always create self-moderated threads.

Sounds like the free market at work - As flibbr said, it's a voluntary interaction.

yes sure ...

Damn jantenner81, I wish I had seen your "CC card design blue" design before I purchased my Bit-Card. I would loved that as background for it.

my try

Another magnificent design by jantnner81  ;D

Thx :)

Many thanks ...

Working on a few others, but ran out of time to work on them at the moment  ;D


--snip--

Well here are my attempts:

My vote's on Jan's design.

Didn't realize we were voting... not too keen on the FL looking like an 'A', it looks good and all but not something I would want as a logo. But what do I know?

I will not, because it is true. A lot of designers work very hard spending years to study the field just to have their pay constantly devalued by people such as yourself scraping the bottom of the barrel and wasting more than a dozen peoples time because you don't want to pick one person to do the job. If you need some plumbing done do you call 12 plumbers and tell them the first one that gets it done right gets paid, and then not pay the rest? That's not how it works in the rest of the employment world, why is it ok for designers?

This is the same kind of prejudice applied to IT people on the job. Employers think is is a matter of punching a few keys and the computer does the rest. Easy peasy right? This kind of opinion comes purely from a place of ignorance, and you get what you pay for as demonstrated by the submissions so far (no offense guys I am sure you'd polish them up if he'd pay you). This kind of practice hurts ALL DESIGNERS CUMULATIVELY, and part of voluntarism is not causing harm to others, which you are. It is easy to support ideals when it costs you nothing.

You are always voting; when OP sees that, not only does he like the design, but others as well, he knows he has made the right decision, for that is what people will recognize on the site as something representative and memorable.  It's perfectly okay that you disagree with me, of course; I can see what you mean, but so long as the person knows that it's actually flibbr, the unusual connection doesn't make too big a deal.


I have to agree with TECSHARE here; professional artists spend thousands of hours refining their skill, and 2 BTC is well worth the service that professionals on here will accept as payment for a logo; the contest, it seems, just dangles the BTC on a string and makes professionals and amateurs alike dance for it.  Certainly, if the only freelance work available to the artist are "contests", then that is what he has to do, but it's certainly not fun; at the core of the matter, it's free work for the client, sometimes without any guarantee that someone will be paid at all:


But to be frank, the artist who bites is just as well a fool, so I don't feel sorry for them, even if you do.

Imagine this scenario:

"I need a prostitute, but I'm not sure which one I might like.  Therefore, I will hold a contest to see which prostitute provides their service the best, but if I don't like any of you, sorry."

There isn't a prostitute in the world who would buy this.  Is the artist's time and effort worth less than a prostitute's?  Only if he allows it so.

It's voluntary. He made an offer. Nobody is obligated to do any work for him. If they do, they do it voluntarily.

Side question: Do you support the Minimum Wage?

Musicians have to audition, right?  They're giving you their work for free.

Artists live and work in a different realm than a lot of people.  Plumbing is not subjective.  Either the pipes are clogged or they aren't; you don't need to evaluate their work.

Sorry bud, but the market disagrees with you.  There are design artists that didn't spend a day in school studying design; they just know instinctively how to draw.  If they're good, they make money.  So there's a plus side too.  Plumbers have to know what they are doing.  They can't just doodle a drain unclogged in their spare time.

Hello there and good luck to your web site.



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

You say my example is inadequate then make up an even more absurd one yourself? An audition is a SAMPLE. He is asking for THE ENTIRE JOB to be done FREE. Untrained designers in general produce shit, degrading not only the quality of the craft but the industry as a whole. If you aren't a designer you might not even know what is wrong with a design until you are trained. Sorry bud, but the market does lots of violent things to people, it doesn't make it correct, or even OK. I could stab you and steal your wallet, and technically that would be a market force, but I doubt you would side with the will of "market forces" on this one. Additionally, I find the activity in this thread to be extra onerous because it comes from some one who claims to be socially conscious.

This right here. We made our submission, disliked how he ran it, pulled out. It's as simple as that. Nobody is going around murdering everyone who doesn't take part, so there's no real place for going on and on about how bad it is. Either you do it or you don't; it's as simple as that. In my case, I thought we'd be a good fit because he wanted something *custom*. I didn't realize he was simply asking for someone to type "Flibbr" into a word processor and flip through fonts to look for a nice one, XD.

THE ENTIRE JOB is coloring a pretty picture.  Many people are willing to do that for free for the chance of making money.  Not everyone is willing to reach their hand into your poop on the chance of making money; they want a guarantee that touching poop will yield them profit.  There are people who are willing to draw for free, with only a chance at profit.  You are calling for them not to be willing to do that.  What makes you think you will be successful, or that your call is even warranted?



But you CAN make a design without training, and its value is subjective.  Plumbing is objective; either it works or it does not.  Not so with design.  One man may love a design that another man hates.  Therefore your analogy doesn't fit, regardless of whether my analogy to musicians fits or not.


Violence is the antithesis of free markets.  Do you even know what the definition of free markets is?  Free markets are voluntary associations.  Stabbing me would not technically or practically be a market force because I did not consent to the stabbing. 

You are on your soap box, and it's unbecoming.  If you don't approve, don't participate.

V1  ;D

There are some sharp looking designs here, wow.

its an modded font by me :)

This is exactly the kind of ignorance and bias people have to justify this type of practice. Oooo its just coloring a little picture! A child could do it! Do you even realize how demeaning and disrespectful you sound? The whole of the work done to construct properly designed branding is not simply the final image you see but the research and composition time spent to get to the final arrangement. You can't quantify the total of the work done by looking at the single image.



It's value is NOT subjective. If it was it would just be called ART not DESIGN. Design entails functional and targeted construction of something original, not just "coloring a pretty picture".


Show me where I used the words "free market" please. You are arguing with yourself.

Here my first try! I'm totally crowded of work this week and finally found some time to submit something today, hope you like it.
I have made a design according to the actual web design tendency, with a minimalistic morphology. My original idea behind this logo is to keep some of the friendly essence of your website design and to show with the typography how your project helps your customers to be heard for the people (thinking about publishing articles and advertising), and it's shown in the "BBR" part of the logo where the first B helps the second one an the R to reach the height of the other letters, and in the isotype it's synthesized in just the 2 "B" (which are very representative in this design). This explanation is what I had in mind when designing, and I think it can represent perfectly your project (at least what I had understood about it and what I've seen in the web). Hope you understand my explanation, I'm not native english talker :(
I'll try to find some time over my week to submit something, but I think it will be a bit hard this one.

http://i40.tinypic.com/309ow46.jpg

Hope you like it!

LOL, graphic design is not an artistic work, why everybody thinks it is? Every graphic designer had learned in his first 2 months of study that his work is not related with the art; it's related with the use of your brain, study the communication process in each work and investigate all about your customer so you can think like him and communicate like he wants... the art is related with feelings, ideologies, show determinate landscape with an specific pictorial style, but never about direct communication. When the communication appeared in the art (for example in the Russian Constructivism, with the posters made by artists), there was born the graphic design in its first steps.

Hope some people learn something about the graphic design before start a (real) discussion.

So many offtopic replies, so little moderation...

This is my post portfolio with a diverse set of logos to satisfy your logo request. Have a look and study diligently for your full considerations. I have spent hours to concept a logo design as per your request carefully. Thanks in advance for your serious consideration and final decision. ;) As always I will continue to add more logo designs until the deadline is meant. So keep checking in  :)


Heres my input. Simple modern flibbr logo with white background. The arrow represents speed and promptness. Then inverted spirals represent simplicity and transparency.

*New: For the newly added, I completely redesigned these logos from scratch and added a few more items for symbolism. The "double arrow" design (#3) again means transparency and promptness. (#3)Along with a touch of green to match your website flibber.com two tone presentation. (3.5) has a touch of orange for bitcoin symbolic element. Completely new addition #4 has a typewriter theme represents percision with a symbolic orange letter "r' for Bitcoin.

INtroduction into the modern cloud with Flibbr inside. Accompany with a two tone green to complement your website design. A subtitle slogan underneath the website name. The cloud is recognized icon throughout the internet, and is associated with "ease of use", "practical", and "productivity." With the cloud design, you brand will "stand out", be recognizable and unique. The cloud is also much much more softer to the eyes which seems more trusting and reliable. the cloud design has a high probability of being remembered by new users.

Here a modern icon "app" looking logo for your website. By the way the trademark is for show (not real)  ;) An attempt web 2.0 logo(s) with the classic look of round corners/font as you requested. These logos are meant to establish a brand & in a sense it will be your identity in the future of cryptocurrency market.

New added: For the completely redesigned "fbr" icon (#3), I have added more functionally from the previous fbr icon (#1). As for the circle design logo, I was aiming for your request for "roundness", "picture worth 1000 words" symbology and minimalistic logo design for (#4). #4 also adds the golden angle for bitcoin and doubles as a icon. I hope you like the new content aimed to fit your website goals and purpose.

Here a eye friendly geometry green and blue combination to complement the green coloration in your website. Again the logo is maintaining minimalist design. With this design I hoped to venture from your original request, a tad bit for more diversity and open possibilities.  

http://s5.postimg.org/6p6a6wcoz/Flibbr_Green_Shield.jpg (http://postimg.org/image/6p6a6wcoz/)

Here a sample of simple blue bubbles with upbeat font for your website logo. The other logo has stripes accompany with curvature. Here an attempt of sharp speech bubble for #3 (with sharp corners) and paper airplane which represents productivity and the modern webby 2.0 feeling. #3 was n attempt to explore another aspect of the web 2.0 culture and philosophy with sharp corners.

Here is my take with your design goals in mind -

http://www.blockburner.net/images/flibbr.png

http://www.blockburner.net/images/flibbrmockup1.png



Stop threadjacking

He's not asking for an entire branding package.  He asked for a logo.  The whole entire contest is for one logo, not an entire site worth of branding.  If that was the case, that'd be different.  So you are getting worked up over an imagined slight.


All he asked for was a picture.  He didn't ask for an entire page.  And even if he did, Design still is closely related to art.  I may hate a very well organized design.  It's SUBJECTIVE in that it can appeal to some and not others.  You can't compare this to objective "It Works or It doesn't" jobs like plumbing or coding.



What are you talking about?  You had a whole montage about market forces.  If you are not talking about free markets, what kind of market are you talking about?  In what market would stabbing someone just be seen as a market force and not simply force?  You're fucking retarded.

Designing one logo is not a difficult job.  Putting an entire site worth of logos, color schemes, visual effects and backgrounds is a much more difficult job.  It's still subjective though.


It's your passion; precisely.  Designing is artistic in nature.  It may not be fully artistic, as there is communication involved and coordination.  But it's still subjective.



You are right of course.  But OP is looking for people like you, who enjoy design, who have extra time on their hands to give it a shot.  I think the anger this thread has generated in some is unwarranted.

The anger appears to come from professionals who have spent time getting 'trained' on things that people can now learn on youtube or other internet-based resources... and have resorted to pointing out issues that only 'trained' professionals would notice, which is not what the OP is looking for. There is still a place for the 'highly trained' professionals, just not sure it is on a bitcoin forum.

A lot of professions are also going through the same aggravation. It is a different world  ;)

But in the end, I have withdrew my submissions because I obviously didn't realize the OP was actually looking for a fancy word with different fonts, or I would have devoted more time towards this... but I cannot devote any more time - its just not worth it.

Take responsibility for your dismissive and denigrating words, "this thread" didn't generate anger, you did. You insult anyone who considers them self a designer, and ignorantly assume it is an easy job not worthy of compensation. Additionally those that do practice it are rightfully exploited as lesser forms of laborers. This is what generates anger.

It is not that difficult to review design samples and PICK A SINGLE DESIGNER TO CONTRACT WITH. Making dozens of people waste their time so you don't have to review samples and make a choice is not only extremely lazy but is exploitative, divisive, and destructive to the overall community here, as well as anyone who calls themselves a graphic designer. I assure you it will harm your reputation more than it is worth, and eventually no one will deal with you if this is regular practice. Side note: This is also how voluntarism is practiced, via rightful exclusion from the community as a result of abuse of it.

Get out. Both of you. Stop threadjacking.

You were pissy before I even showed up.


First, I don't insult designers.  I point out that some people overvalue their work.

Agreed.  But that is not what OP wanted.  So he did something different.  Get over it.


You can't exploit people who are entering into a voluntary association, with complete information.  OP didn't lie to anyone.


If that's the case then so be it.


Again, so be it.

Done;  my last post will be my final words on the matter.  TECHSHARE can participate or not, which is his prerogative.

All the logos are looking good. Competition is fierce! 

Here is my simple design

Updated with a quick animation just to give you an idea, but this can be animated/rendered/coloured in any method you like. I wasnt sure on the slogan, but it can be changed/removed etc to what you prefer if you like.

nice try, hope you win tsoPANos !!!! :D

grums' submission by a landslide. most of the other entries are just GIMP wannabes throwing elements into it without any real knowledge of design or branding. grums' entry is more akin with something you would get from a professional developer. I also liked jantenner's design, however the random apostrophe killed it for me.

Hey,

Thanks alot for the vote and comments.

Thank flibbr I appreciate your feedback and glad you like them.  :D I will continue to strive and seek what your looking for. I will be adding more logos as time passes until the September 8. Be sure to check in with my "portfolio" post to be updated with new logos for your consideration. Just so you know, none of my concepts are permanent and can be subject to change (i.e. combinations, color schemes, etc) at your request (its your logo after all). For example it can be combination/hybrid between 2 of you favorite logos or a change in colors (I am very flexible). ;D

Anyways keep us posted. Thanks!  ::)

Here are 2 more versions, used a different font aswell.

lol surefire winner right here!

I liked tsoPANos's logo the best!
I looks simple, yet really eye-catching!  :o

Shilling on an alt account is despicable, especially when the nomenclature is so obvious.

I think Flibbr will choose the winning design, so casting out 'votes' won't help that much.

He asked for votes.

Which results in people asking their 'friends' to vote for them or worse, making fake accounts to vote. That won't get him the best design. Best of luck to everyone who entered the competition! :)

Not sure about the color scheme, but this is my favorite so far.

Ooooh!  Pretty.  My new favorite.

nice glow, shade, rounded, reflection

Here is a modified version of my sketch :) I still need to do some optical corrections on it, but if you pick my work, I'll have it finished ASAP :) Hope you like it!

I did it thinking in this characteristics:

- Friendly (I noticed that in your website)
- Innovative (looking at the future)
- 2.0 (minimalistic style, according to the current web and graphic design tendency)

Remember that your logotype is the face and the soul of your business; it is not just something good looking, it has to communicate as much as you do. And my only advice is, think it twice (or more) before you use the Bitcoin logotype in yours, if it changes, or you decide to just use litecoin, etc, you will need to modify your logo, and it's not good for your business image. You should suggest the importance of Bitcoin in your design, but never condition the design to it. Remember that Bitcoin is just a payment method and no one put the Visa, Mastercard, etc logotype in their logo, because your project is more than just a payment method; it has to be unique. Please, take it just as my opinion, just that.

That's all for now :)

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

Here is my submission.

The text in the logo itself is a custom typeface so you won't have to worry about font copyright for commercial use.

The cartoon character on the green hill will have to go.  Just a thought.  If I were to do it I would approach the name and make it sexy.  You will have to have an idea of what you are looking for.  On the front end and then ongoing.  Take the two B's and make them an overlay of a women's eyes.  If you want to stick with the right as being the bitcoin symbol then make that the iris.  Never miss the white of the eyes and size relative. The other will have to be contrasting, yes the other eye.  Changing irises in the same sex cause fear and interest and in the other attraction.  Why, I do not know.  Just then choose the font.  This will be tough.  You will have to have someone on hand to choose the font for the face.  You can choose eyes only.  Maybe the entire face.  That can be automatic.

Either way you have given all of the suggestion you will ever need.  This is a leg up on the cartoon character or just a standard face model.  You then have a template for making a changeable mathematical copyrightable system that you can use for any product.  Maybe products that you will decide on.

The dark lettering on the dark background may not be clear enough  ??? Trying to make the one logo work on the light/dark background  :o

You should try using a 1px outline on the dark lettering :)

I have asked you some things by PM, Flibbr!
