Admin code added by Abby - 53241858UF8648748 , 6J1151898R228754Y

Hello,

I need to have a logo made for my company Rock Star Returns.

We offer private individuals a high yield return (80% per annum) on their money.

Our company does this by purchasing the best seating at highly desired concerts and events, like U2, Madonna, Super Bowl and the World Series, and then we resell the seating at a highly increased price.

Think of us as a suit and tie scalper, that’s licensed, and instead of moving 10 to 20 seats per concert we move thousands through our reselling networks.

Another benefit to our clients is that when their favorite band or event is in their local area, we send them to it free of charge.

The logo itself should be fun, trendy and very rockstarish!

I will need the logo in 2 ways, one with the company’s name, Rock Star Returns and one with the web site RockStarReturns.com.

The winner needs to provide the above logos in a business card and letterhead as well.

I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Thanks,

Mark

P.S. The deadline is Dec 16th

Senter,

I have changed the contest prize to affect your stated pricing. The new prize amount is $315.

Thanks,

Mark :)

[Stratagos]

Senter,

That design is a good start. I definitely get the feel for tickets and music when looking at it, but then it leaves me in a orchestra/symphony feeling, not so much rockstarish.

Think of something stylish and trendy, a cool brand that you'd buy if it was put on a shirt or other piece of clothing.

Thanks,

Mark

[Senter]

I will post another tonight for you!

[OffbeatDesign]

Thanks for the update Mark. Here's a first concept from me.

[OffbeatDesign]

Second concept, using a guitar pick

[Senter]

Grunge with style.

[Stratagos]

OffBeat - I like your second design better. The idea of using a gutair pic comes through. I get more of a college feel with the blockyness of it though.

Senter - Putting the gutair in the logo deffinately looks better.

Guys what I'm looking for is something that Bono would wear. Something that when it's seen on clothing it makes the person ask about it.

Something that is stylish, trendy, creates intrigue... RockStarish.

So in the well acredited words of Busta Rhymes, "TURN IT UP!"

[Senter]

All bono wears now is (RED)™, http://www.joinred.com/ he designed it. Simple elegant and clean.

I will see what else I can come up with.

Project Update: The project amount has been raised to $315 and the project is for a Logo, business card, and letterhead design.

Stratagos

Is there anything else we can help you with?

[Stratagos]

I'd like thank everyone who participated in this contest; you really came up with some very talented and clever designs.

The winner is Deanna for post #27.

Deanna, I want to see just a few small changes and then I'll be ready to have you do the letter head and biz card.

I'd like to see a few different font variations on "Rock Star". I feel the current font isn't as pronounced as I'd like it to be.

Then I'd like to see the "S" or "$" at the end of "Returns" just a little bit bigger as it looks smaller than the other letters.

Other than that, great job!

Thanks again to everyone,

Mark

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Thank you for choosing my design. Here is the first revision.

Thanks,
Deanna

[shnickerdoodle studios]

And another...

[shnickerdoodle studios]

and another.. Let me know what you think and we will go from there.

Thanks,
Deanna

[Stratagos]

Thanks Deanna,

I'm leaning more towards #45 the font on the right hand side.

I'd like to have the font about that thick but almost in a autograph font that is still clearly legible.

Could you show me a couple more versions in this manner compared to the #45 right side style?

Thanks,

Mark

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Not a problem..

Here are the revisions..

Thanks,
Deanna

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Any word on the revisions..

Thanks,
Deanna

[Stratagos]

Thanks Deanna,

After looking at more of the autograph/hand written fonts, I'm a bit worried that perhaps the style won't be as timely after a few years.

Thinking this I like the 45 left style font and the 46 right style font best now.

Could you give me a couple other versions of a more timeless font for "ROCKSTAR" that I can compare these too.

I think we're just about there.

Thanks,

Mark

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Here are some new revisions...

Thanks,
Deanna

[Stratagos]

Deanna,

Lets go with the font on message #45, the left hand side.

Thanks,
