These are excellent, especially the noria one.

If I see anyone that needs a logo done, I'm certainly going to recommend you.

These are nice, but way too expensive for me. I'm not saying for you to lower the price, just that I don't have that kind of money right now. If you can do this sort of thing consistently then you're worth it.

I can lower the price, it depends on the project, the freedom I can get and the number of proposal I must design.

Problem is that here, we do not need any professional design, we need something that takes between 10 mins and 1 hours. What would you charge for something that takes 1 hour MAX, and you have full freedom as long as nothing is copied (obviously), in vectors.

Ok, let's do that. What are the 'market' prices for this kind of speed design ?

It really depends on the budget of that person. It varies between 20BTC and 100 BTC I would believe

Yeah. Right now we're so small that most of the central businesses are run by individual coders hacking away in their spare time, from what I can tell. Not exactly big corporations with deep pockets.  :)

As a typography geek, "clar development" sent chills down my spine.  Awesome work.   ;D

For a good logo design in California, freelancers charge $500 with 2 revisions.

he just asked what the market price, here in the BTC community, is for a quick logo design like this:

Which is 20-100BTC. Noone here is EVER going to pay even close to 200+BTC let alone 500$

Ok thank you all. I am ready for a speed 20-100BTC design if someone needs it.
After all we are not in California here ;)

Of course I work with vectors, using Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/) only. No Adobe no Bullshit.

My Adobe Illustrator is no good? :(

I'll try out inscape then :) I love to learn random stop like vectors and stuff, but I do not intend to actually make $$ out of it lol

good stuff - i suggest you make a site (if you don't have one already), and post your entry into the main Trade page on the wiki.

40 bitcoin logo, for the GLobalBitcoinStockExchange (GLBSE)

Looking for something simple, that would look good on white.

No actual globes though, thats too cliche.

Something with the bitcoin symbol/coin is ok and preferably also using something symbolic of cryptography?
symbolic of cypherspace or something?

You could use a padlock and keys.

Post the pic and an address, once I make the payment you can email the inkscape project to me, my email is in my profile.

Thank you for the deal Nefario!

looks a little jarring...

I agree, but I think it's mainly the particular blue chosen.  Perhaps just tweaking the color a bit would help.


Title: Re: Logo design
Post by: rooofl on April 14, 2011, 03:18:22 PM
Yes this is #0000FF default Internet browsers blue.
I will not modify it now. This is the final version.
This is a speed (3 hours) design and low budjet logo.

I'm happy with the logo, rooofl has given me the svg for it so if I want to make any tweaks(slight change in colours) then I'm able to.

I really needed something to work with, to start with. It doesn't have to be perfect, and if we ever become really big then we'll spend millions designing a logo just like Accenture did.

I would recommend rooofl for much more of this kind of work, he got it done with little direction, and the cost was very reasonable.

the logo may be better with the L top right

G              L
S     B    E

I read left to right :)

Believe me you don't.
You focus on the closer same height character.
