Hello designers,

We are in need of a new logo for www.savingadvice.com. Please don't make the logo according to our current design as we will be having a contest next to create a new design for the site.

savingadvice.com is a site that gives free financial advice with articles, tips, etc.

I really don't know what we want the new logo to look like, we're open to just about any ideas... Obviously a money saving theme would probably be nice. Green? I don't know. We do want it to say "SavingAdvice.com - Because Money Matters" however we want all that to be editable later if we decide on a different slogan. If I can give any other info, let me know. I want to have this contest up for at least 5-7 days so take your time.

THANKS!

I like it! Could we see it in a couple different colors? Maybe blues/greys/purples?

How about an image next to savingadvice.com text... coins, dollars, bank,...anything that conjures up the image of saving

dusan,

I like a few of those... The arrow going up is a good example of what I was talking about. Can we see a few different variations of the left column, top 3 (I like those best.) The green font for the slogan is hard to read though, and maybe a different fontface would look nice for the SavingAdvice as well. Thanks

Here's my entry with a different approach.....moving from the red into the
black.

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks.

Wow, can I have all of them!? :) These are very nice. Give me a little time to discuss with my partner and we will make specific comments shortly.

Well we narrowed it down to 2 we like best.

dynagirl - We really like your first one... The only thing I don't like is the font used. It seems too 'fat' and almost seems like it should be italicized or a little curvy since the $ graphic next to it is curvy. Also could you play around a little with different colors? Maybe reds/blues/greys. Light colors.

graphxguy - I like your second entry. The colors are good but the font seems a little off still. Also I think the S and A need to be capitalized. The big "S" next to the text is good but I think it needs to be smaller. Also would be curious to see what the big "S" looked like with a low opacity blended in behind the SavingAdvice.com text. Like a watermark?

Here's a revision with the graphic as a watermark. Also with different fonts.

Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks.

And revisions with just different fonts.

Thanks.

Another ideas to join the graphic with the type.

graphxguy - thanks for making those changes, however I think we are going to go with dynagirl's.

dynagirl - We like #3-C! Can you move the $ to the left of SavingAdvice.com. thanks for the great logo!

Winner: dynagirl

You can't win them all. Or in my case, two. Ha, ha.

Congrats, dynagirl. Great job!
