Title: Logo Contest - 0.10btc reward - Awarded (complete)
Post by: jasinlee on December 04, 2013, 10:28:08 PM
Looking for a few concepts, or even completed logo for our website and company. I have one already, but I am no artist so I figured I would tap into the massive talent on the forums.

Paying 0.10 BTC reward for the winner, if we feel that it is exceptional we may put out a higher reward. There is no time limit on the contest, but we plan to choose a final design before December ends.


The concept we have been working with is the fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. Current basic logo is just a nautilus shell with the ratios sketched out and the company name "Fibonacci" integrated into the nautilus shell. But if you have a better way to display the golden ratio, phi, or some other related notion please implement it into the logo. If you have questions about the design or direction or need clarification let me know in a reply or PM here.

Congrats to medUSA

Hi there, sounds like an intricate yet awesome logo to make.

I'm going to have a go at it and hopefully will create a logo that you'll really enjoy.

Thanks

Hi, here's my entry. It's consists of the chambered nautilus in a golden ratio rectangle with the fibonacci wording in a renaissance font. I've gone for an understated, classical, renaissance feel. I think it would look great on business cards, t-shirts etc. I think it looks classy, mature, professional and trustworthy. I hope you like it

hmm do you think that my spiral doesn't look like this?
I used inkscape, which has three parameters for the spiral.
a Turns
b Divergence
c Inner Radious
None of which look good with 1.618 number.

Suggestion: the letter F could have a spiral shape.

Also, the logo could be only a F with that shape.

I'm very sorry, but I think that a reward of 0.1 BTC is not enough to attract many of the better designers here on Bitcointalk. 0.10 might be a fair price for a logo, but considering that this is a contest where the risk of doing much work and then not having your design picked is high, most of them, including me, will not be interested.

So if I go on any website like fiverr or another oddball freelance page your telling me I would absolutely pay more than 0.1 btc? Just because you have a opinion does not mean you are right. And if you don't like the pay you get for a job I suggest you do not take the job. This is for fun partially and some cash to the weiner. Lets keep the flame baiting out of the thread.

Here is a simple and elegant idea I have been toying with. It is a golden rectangle with a fibonacci multispiral centered in its largest square. The styling, font, etc depend on what your company's business is (I used a console style font assuming you deal with computers). If you want to send me some info or  talk about more logos:

I am not a computer graphics designer, just an amateur artist, but have worked with logos concepts for a quite some time.

I feel that logo designers need to have at some idea of the business nature before they can design a suitable logo that suits a particular company and its brand image. I mean the logo design would be completely different if your company is an antique store, software company, or a even restaurant.

If you don't mind that is... provide a bit more information what you plan to do. I believe it would help the designers to create something you might need to use for a life time.

That would be like calling every photo of a horse plagiarism of the first photo ever of a horse.
But I understand your point, claiming credit for a particular graphic would be unfair.

This is true to be honest, most clients pay at least £300 for a logo so experienced designers wont be to very enthusiastic with a 0.10BTC bounty.

Are we back on this again? Some people are comfortable with a small amount of work and a decent award. And this is not a bash session of peoples work, if you dont want to do it, dont. I am perfectly capable of drawing or using photoshop myself, but I would like to have people on the forum involved and benefiting from the work we offer.

There is the possibility that I will not use any of the designs, but I will still pay the bounty to the best one I see.

You should think about what you're saying. Sure some of these designs are not masterpieces, but the designers are new and they have to start somewhere. I'm sure your first designs were not any better. Practice makes perfect and these designers will get better the more and more logos they make.

Post by: medUSA on December 09, 2013, 08:40:05 AM
I don't think any of them is atrocious. They are miles better than what I can do on a computer.

IMO, some of them are too literal and not very organic. They look nice, but there is no message coming across. I sketched two crude concepts (in minutes) to illustrate what I mean. They are not logo designs, just here to deliver a point about not being too literal on the fibonacci spiral, and about delivering a message in a logo.

I still believe pen and paper works best  ;)

I went with the color gold (golden ratio hint), and a basic formal looking spiral (symbolizing simplicity) and your modern font for Fibonnacci. As a add bonus I added a Phi symbol into the letter 'O' in Fibφnacci. Feedback and improvements are welcome  :)

Even if its not done we may pick yours, so dont be discouraged if your not quite done yet. We see the potential in them and will pick them based on what we feel we can do with it.

I suggest you extend the contest length and maybe increase the bounty.
Maybe a combination of the Fibonacci with a phi in it and the shell.
Best of luck finding a logo :)

The top 3 are the original sketch with and without black outline
Then comes the center 2 with a modified pixelation of the tail
The bottom 3 are twists on the outline and brings out the spiral
