Hello Team!

This must be my 10th project on here - and i'm looking for something fun!

I'm starting my own personal "poker blog" - to simply chat about my poker playing experience.

This isn't a business site - so lets make it a fun logo - it's up to you - but i'm looking for something creative...

"Munky" is a play on my last name - so maybe incorporate some kind of monkey creature? Who knows! But..it should have to do with Poker!

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with - always a winning design - please let me know if you have any further questions...

Andrew.

No product - no service- simply a fun, personal blog to keep track of my poker play, and poker happenings...

How long have you been in business?

An idea of "fun", "excitement", into my current blog - which is just a generic template.

A FUN logo - doesn't have to be overally professional - something "young", energetic, and vibrant!

It's up to you - have as you will.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Like i said before - themes of a monkey (because of the site name), poker, chips, playing cards, all would be appropriate.

Hello Glyphica!

Thanks for the first go - however, i am not a fan of bubbly letters :) The Monkey's aren't bad - but for all the designers - if they are used, i'd like them to be "part of the logo", rather than to the side kinda?

Also - it's a little bit too cartooney for me - looking for a little bit more serious (i know i said "FUN FUN!") but not that fond of the cartoon look....

However - thanks for the first go - i'ts definately appreciated it. In whatever logo is designed - i would like some aspect of "poker" incorporated into it as well...whether it's card, chips, money, who knows - whatever....but something to symbolize poker..

Thanks,
Andrew.

Here's from me... :)
and Thank You.

Hello!:)

[andmunn]

Sorry for the slow response - i've been abroad for a few days..however, i should be getting responses within 24hrs of posting...

Giant - I like what you did with the "chip", however, not that fond of the text portion - i'd like the "image" to be somewhat incorporated into the text part simliar to what skyvee did... also, maybe, a little bit less "cartooney" and more professional?

Skyvee - i really like it - simple, professional, looks good - i especially like how you incorporate the monkey face into the text! Is it possible to see different variations with maybe different fonts / text layouts / colours? I really like the concept where we are at - but just not 100% there yet....

Thanks everyone! look forward to seeing a few more submissions!

Andrew.

:) Hi Andrew.

[andmunn]

Tyler - looks really good! I like the text / logo / everything you did - in the "graphic" portion of the logo w/ the monkey - is it possible to make it a "bigger" part of the cards...maybe make it a monkey face instead of a walking monkey? maybe show me abigger walking monkey? hopefully that makes sense!

But - i REALLY like it!

[cazeyzman]

Something from me!
-Thanks

[Tyler]

:D Here is a bigger version of the monkey.

[andmunn]

Crazeyman - not to bad - not entirely fond of the colour scheme.. However, ido like the design..i like the idea of the cadr w/ the monkey - can you try a few different colour schemes?

Tyler - i like it - really wouldn't change much more about it - i actually think i like the subtleness of the little monkey more after seeing hte big version...really can't recommend any changes!

[Tyler]

Tyler - i like it - really wouldn't change much more about it - i actually think i like the subtleness of the little monkey more after seeing hte big version...really can't recommend any changes!

Really? I actually liked the large version better. :D

[skyvee]

[andmunn]

Skyvee

Thanks for the updates - i like that last one - like the text - really , can't recommend any more changes based on that design!

Thanks guys - you've really put forward a great effort and i really see some great designs here..

Will give a few more days to see if anyone else contributes before making my decision!

Thanks,
Andrew.

[cazeyzman]

New color combo, :)

[andmunn]

Crazeyman: thanks for the changes - however, it stilll looks a little too clunky and plane for me...

Right now my 2 favourites are V4 Skyvee and V1 Tyler....
