WOWBOB! - $125

(Admin code added by Palmer - 391582W)

We have started a new business in the Uk called WOWBOB!

Its and interesting and cool brand that sells anything! WOWBOB! is a company that specialises in affiliating sales, we run websites on an affiliate basis but they look as though they are all WOWBOB.

I feel I am not explaining this well, simply put. BOB! sells loads of things, he sells under the name WOWBOB! MOBILES WOWBOB! INK etc, all different shops and all pretty much the same design website, thus getting the brand across..

We need a LOGO for WOWBOB! utilising the two O's, but the name is really interesting and offers many designs we feel, either using the 2 W's or the 2Bs.

We also require BOB!. BOB! is the special bit, cos the winner will also win the right to design BOB! on a full time basis. You see BOB! is dressed up different for everything he sells, for example, when he is on the book website, hes holding a book, when hes on the mobile website, hes on the phone, etc etc, as well as christmas, easter, summer, new year, halloween etc etc.

So we are looking for something that can be designed with this in mind, and altered as and when required for the extra fee.

We have no idea what BOB! looks like, but he will be a big brand, and advertised well, so his marketability needs to be good, offering memorability, coolness, brightish, trendy, and brand oriantated. We are totally open to ideas, and think this is a brilliant proiject with great benefits for the winner.

The logo needs to compliment BOB! and the two need to brand together, ie BOB! next to HIS logo!

You need to imagine BOB! in a shop window, and the person walks past and already knows 'o thats BOB!' the same for the logo, you need to view this both on the web and possibaly on the high street.

When complete we have letterheads, cards and other promotional material to think of.

Let me see your ideas!!!

Cheers guys
Tony @ WOWBOB!

Alright then. Lets get this puppy started! :D

[Hypnosis]

Cool Mark, simplicity rules...
hyp! :tup:

[Hypnosis]

a little try...

[tony_ryder]

Hey guys,

Mark that is really cool, liking the WOWBOB! althought the guy is too old. We are aiming at a youthish market, so it may need to be a younger dude.

The WOWBOB needs to be ondifferent levels like marks, then is will compliment the two o's together.

Hypnosis, like the idea but I think it would be better on two levels, also BOB is a little scarey!

Mark, can you do a few different colours, red/blue, orange/blue and maybe stick an exclamation mark in!

Cheers guys, awaiting the results
Tony
WOWBOB!

Hi,

Nice, but don't like the guy, too American, not really sure on the font, think is won't portray a good brand, needs to be more corperate, more grown up like the top one by mark.

Cheers
Tony

Here's Bob before he got married! :D

Mark, you kick ***!

Here's my try...

[tony_ryder]

Mark, AMAZING

Looking good in the orange, I think the second one with him on the right is the best. After seeing the Exclamation mark, I think it doesn't work. I am looking around for other examples of BOB, I am just thinking that he is going to be the front of all advertising, and don't think the one we have here is good enough to make a difference and be memorable.

Bill

BOB is not too bad, but the logo is too comic like. I don't think it portrays a serious company within the logo while still offering a cool image. Sure you know what I mean.

Dynagirl

Sorry but not in the same league as Mark, really boring and needs to be more imaganative, sorry but thats what I am thinking.

I am looking for a BOB, if you have any ideas then let me know, and post them here.

Cheers
Tony

[Michael]

If I get the chance I shall give you your Bob :D

[tony_ryder]

Cheers man!!

So you're saying you like mine better than Mark's right? Kidding... I'm kidding! :P

[tony_ryder]

Sorry, have another go and see if you can chnage my mind

Tony

[Tonya]

Oh hey, don't be sorry. Drawing humans (even cartoonish humans) isn't really my thing, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. Your comment just struck me funny, so I had to get a little humorous retort in there. ;)

[tony_ryder]

Hi guys, found a couple of BOBS. but you must not use them as they are taken from a site, but you can see where I am coming from I hope.

Cheers
Tony

[Mark]

NEWBOB :)

Not sure on BOB, looks crossed between a Monley and a miniture person, not a suitable logo, still loving Marks at the minute.

Mark, looking good. Not sure on the shorts as you know the weather here, poo all the time!

I'm not 100% on it, and I haven't got a clue why not! There is something, but I can't put my finger on it, I think I may be thinking that it COULD be BOB but not sure if there COULD be something better? Know what I mean.

But at the minute you are looking good as a winner.

Everybody, take a look at Marks, and follow by his example, looking to wrap this up soon, so get posting

Cheers guys, and cheers Mark

WOWBOB!

[Tyler]

How is this for Bob??

[Tyler]

A closer look at Bob

[Mark]

I thought if we can narrow down his face, then I can work on his freakishly weird body... :lol:

Let me know if any of these faces strike you. I kinda like the bottom left one myself.

Mark

[tony_ryder]

think bottom right

[tony_ryder]

MARK,

I have been thinking, and I am still not 100% on the BOB, I don't want to get going on something and then need to start again - a pain for you!

I have therefore uploaded an image of me, please excuse the curtains, the mothers bedroom.

Just a quick photo, but see if you can work from it,

Cool hair,
Glasses
Trendy Trainers
Trendy T-shirts
Jeans
Cool watch
Ability to wear a hat in the future/change to smart dress/chage to predict trends, ie if he was on the web now, he may be wearing an England Rugby Shirt, a great play on branding and marketing!
Someone who would have a cool mobile, have all the latest technology and buy online.

See where I am coming from?

Cheers, log on in the morn

Great Job buddy
Tony

[tony_ryder]

Anymore for anymore, a few more and then we may have a winner I think - come on guys post your final thoughts

Looking forward
Tony

[Michael]

I've been a little busy. Sorry.

[tony_ryder]

cheers guys!

[Virgil]

[Michael]

I know this is not what you were asking for but could this be Bob??

This is just a rough sketch, thought I'd check first before carrying on.

I don't know why, Mark, but your Bob reminds me
of Clay Aiken from American Idol.

(Maybe it's the chin) ?

[tony_ryder]

Some great designs, but there is only one winner, and thats MARK!

Well done to everyone else, but I think we can all see that Mark has done a great job. Hopefully we can work with Mark in the future to design BOB in different moods, and hopefully you will all know him as the famous internet owner in a few years,

Thanks to everyone else, you all had some good ideas.

Well done Mark!
Tony

[Michael]

Well done Mark :tup:
