IDEA: Logo wanted

(1/2) > >>

s0l1dsnak3123:
Hey everybody,
Is anybody round here an artist? Could anybody make me a logo for my website? my website is:

http://s0l1d.galekus.com

It's PHP nuke if you wondered (I think it is a little obvious due to the tell-tale layout)

You can just go wild really, but I would like it either really kinda computery/nerdy/techy or really modern and minimalist. The logo must be banner shaped and sized and should simply say 's0l1d' And and icon. I would like it if I got that Icon seperate with a transparent background seperately too, but that is not essential.
thanks in advance,
s0l1d

hello s0l1dsnak3123,
I'm round here and I'm an artist. I could make a logo for:

http://s0l1d.galekus.com/

Yes, I wondered (wasn't obvious to me)

"banner shaped and sized" = 468X60?
any requests for icon?
anything besides 's0l1d' ? (e.g., slogan)
anything else?

thanks,
-Dan

yes

yes, keep it modern and easy to read and undestand. Maybe you could make the Icon to the left, and then have the word s0l1d to the right, so it it easier to seperate.
anything besides 's0l1d' ?
--- End quote ---
errmm nope, but instead of writing s0l1d, make it s0l1d.co.uk - as I am hoping to get a domain for it.

many thanks,

s0l1d  :Thmbsup:

P.s Yes I know that my site is down at the moment, my host just switched servers and I lost my data in the process... so I'll have to start again...  :(

Are you still looking for this?

I presume you're in the tedious process of website development and copying your backed up files to the new servers

Will you have any colors in mind?
  (blue/grey theme, red site with white trim, yellow and darker yellow, pink and green, black and white, earthtones... )

s0l1d or S0L1D?

I'm thinking you specialize in game hosting
  (yes, no?)

A little input goes a long way
  (.. but a little more goes even further.)

"kinda computery/nerdy/techy or really modern and minimalist"
  (-vague)

picture of a computer? 
picture of a nerd?
nerd holding a solid computer?

minimalist as in just a black 'S' inside a black '0'?
modern as in funky colors (pink? teal? purple? orange?) with geometric designs?
just black/white?
sharp designs or smooth designs? (angles and squares or curves and ellipses?)

"You can just go wild really.. "
Does this mean that I have to think of how you want to represent yourself as a web hosting professional?
Do I also need to choose the colors?
What if I pick the wrong ones and "you hate orange!" or "green doesn't go with your buttons"?

Web hosting is a hard thing to depict especially if you aren't more specific.

Many companies simply incorporate their domain name into their logo (securing the domain name BEFORE designing the site is generally very beneficial), some use a generic picture of a computer (e.g.), still others use various forms of geometric shapes representing:
a) the initials of their name
2) some aspect of their hosting features (or something)
D) just some cool shape

It would be real nice if I could know what you have to offer, what you want to convey etc. (see above) in order to provide you with a suitable logo.

                                                                                 :huh:

My host recently changed servers and I lost all my hard work!

Are you still looking for this?
--- End quote ---
Yes I am

Will you have any colors in mind?
  (blue/grey theme, red site with white trim, yellow and darker yellow, pink and green, black and white, earthtones... )
--- End quote ---
Blue and red, green and black, or a white and coffee colour... you decide which... as my website was completely wiped I've had to start again, so you decide.

s0l1d or S0L1D?
--- End quote ---
s0l1d - all lowercase

I'm thinking you specialize in game hosting
  (yes, no?)
--- End quote ---
no, I am a programmer and a musician.

Sorry if this was too vague. I didn't want to tell you exactly what to do as I know artists like to let their imagination flow... like jazz music  ;)
I was thinking of a simplistic, flowing design, maybe a fire to the right turning into a ball towards the left (like a ball of wool, not like a ball of fire) and the name in front of it. just easy to look at, but with an underlying meaning.

LOL neither  :D

sharp designs or smooth designs? (angles and squares or curves and ellipses?)
--- End quote ---
curves preferred.

"You can just go wild really.. "

--- End quote ---
I meant it as "use your imagination... be creative"


Do I also need to choose the colors?
--- End quote ---
if you wish


What if I pick the wrong ones and "you hate orange!" or "green doesn't go with your buttons"?

since my website is still in development as of now, you can do any scheme you wish and I'll edit my website to match with your logo...  :Thmbsup: I know this is an odd way of doing it, but I'm bad with colour schemes, so if I get my website built around your logo, the scheme will look good  8)

1] I'm not a host as i mentioned above
2] I understand that its hard to depict something if you aren't specific... but what I'm trying to tell my audience is that my website is:
a] user friendly
b] good quality
c] nice to look at

Many companies simply incorporate their domain name into their logo (securing the domain name BEFORE designing the site is generally very beneficial), some use a generic picture of a computer (e.g.), still others use various forms of geometric shapes representing:

D] sounds cool I mentioned something like that above

It would be real nice if I could know what you have to offer, what you want to convey etc. (see above) in order to provide you with a suitable logo.

see above

I hope I have made things more clear to you  :Thmbsup:

s0l1d

P.s domain name is on it's way.
