WINNERS ANNOUNCED! CGB Logo/Brand Design Contest!

BADASS my man! Loving it!

Does look good but unfortunately it's blatant plagiarism.  If CGB is to be taken seriously then using the USB logo is a big no.

I would like to know more about how this is plagiarism.

1. Use of symbols are used everyday for example the letter M in a logo.
2. Every logo has some form of symbol are they copying as well.
3. This is not a USB logo but a symbol that is widely used and recognised.

Responses would be appreciated.

Sorry i take it back..

nice original artwork...  Keep it up

No need for apologies mate, i was curious about the plagiarism as I am not certain about the laws and wanted to add some pointers in the discussion.
Thanks for the reply

AV blocked it 

I'll just quote myself for the user above. The images are big here and laggy for me to go through this since AV is interfering too.
This one I do not see and it's likely due that it is the only one being blocked.

Change in the rules ladies and gents! The CGB team will be picking 3 finalists as soon as 3 clear cut finalists emerge. We are hoping to do this by the close of Monday, so please get your submissions and edits in! All 3 finalist will win 150 CGB. At this point, we will open up a public vote to get the community's opinion on which logo should be the new face of CGB! This voting will go on for the work week and conclude tentatively at midnight on Friday evening. The winner will be announced Saturday with the launch of the CGB website. Oh, by the way, the clear cut winner will still receive the 500 CGB promised incremental to the 150 CGB received for making it to the public voting round. As you can see, this logo is very important to us and we are putting our money out to show this! Keep at it all!!!

Can you render this without the background?  ...Just the bar itself?

I really liked your first image of this, nearly perfect. But thought you should drop the 3d grey part on the bottom and left and make the whole horizontal. You did that in your last image where you cleaned up the 3d part (it was too solid grey). But then the logo and the letters got changed. I would suggest to use the first letters/logo and make the borders similar to this one, ofc with the right colors that will fit the first.

Guess I need to step it up a notch...

Think this is best so far, love the logo.

So this whole design on the top looks perfect to me, the colors and shiny letters... Just not the gray bottom and left.

I would really love to see you do a hybrid of your two designs. Call the 1st one above (Image A) and the 2nd one (Image B). Personally I like the overall bullion's look better in image B.
Can you position image B with a slight turn clockwise to straighten out the bullion like you did in image a? Also, can you create a variation of image B with the cryptography blocks replaced with the logo you have used in image A?

Amazing work!

Very cool! I especially like the logo concept you have on the right! Very creative... Anyway to do that logo using the letters CGB? I know the straight line backbone from the letter B may not fit in well there, but curious to see what you can come up with... Also, I like you choice of lettering too. Maybe center both lines. Also, see if you can make the bullion 3D and try to stick more with the platinum and cold colors (icy blue to purple).

Fantastic!

Awesome!!!

[BTCat]

Yea great one. With some variations this can get far too i think.

[cryptasm]

Thanks for the feedback! Got a few more ideas for a simple logo

I f'n love that logo! Put it on a bullion friend!!!

I need to post this because this is getting overlooked.

Images from cryptasm & JoeMattie while they look very nice they have rendered backgrounds with shadowing...  they can not be used on a website or client without!

1.  no shadows that fall outside the logo and not on the background

2. no shadows at all

3. no shadows and a completely uniform background with or a fixed size website.  Likewise with the client the backgound color must be 100% the same.

or

if the shadows must remain the the website needs to be completely in kilter and can NOT be a fluid website. For example the website must be for 600 x 800 monitors and anyone with a bigger screen will have to put up with a smaller site.

 or
The people with the website are happy the the images will not blend with the site.


There is a reason why no websites use these types of images as a Logo.   Sure rendered images look great as a peice of artwork.  But no web developer ever uses them for the reasons i have pointed out.    

As the rules have now changed, the people will vote for the best looking image without taking into account that the can not be used effectively as a logo.
