Website: BetterMan dot com

Project Description: BetterMan dot com is an online forum for men that has been online for over two years. The forum's skin was recently changed and we need a new logo that matches the current design. Something slick and powerful, with masculinity written all over it, would be my description of what is desired. I have always been a big fan of the cover art for Atlas Shrugged http://www.atlasshrugged.tv/images/book_cover.jpg so a take on that image would be awesome, but NOT required.

Colors:

Primary Color: #0072BC

Comments: Logo should have a white and transparent background. Be creative and HAVE FUN!

What do you think if this arnet?

I like where it's going. I'd like to see the man facing the other direction, and more use of the colors listed above. The logo text (BetterMan.com) needs to be cleaner, clearer, and without dropped shadow.

Thanks! Great work!

Here's an inital concept. Any comments before I develop it further?

[Tyler]

Amount offered raised to $200.

Good luck designers! :)

[arnet]

First, I'd like to thank all of the designers that have worked on this logo project so far. I appreciate your efforts, and hope that you will continue with this contest.

I firmly believe that you all can take this to a higher level of design. I am willing to put my money where my mouth is, and have increased the prize from $100 to $200 for this logo.

RadicalSEED so far your concept is the best. I would like to see the logo image on the left, the text on the right. I would like to see more definition on the male figure.

I encourage the rest of you to get involved in this contest. I know there are some great ideas out there, and I hope that the increase in prize money will spur some real creativity.

Deadline extended to Aug. 29th.

Thanks,

arnet

Hello Arnet,
I'd like to submit this concept for your logo design.

It's a stylized image of a man doing katas as seen from the back.
Please advise,
Kimber.

Hey Arnet,

Do you want to see revisions of anyone's submissions? I'm sure we'd gladly oblige.:)

[arnet]

First, sorry for my absence. I had a family emergency. I am now back, and determined to see this through. New deadline is as soon as we get something that works.

Below are my comments:

How is this revision?

[Tyler]

Oops...:blush:

[arnet]

He looks a little like he is holding his breath, or leaning to one side. Try more symmetry, less definition.

Thanks!

[Tyler]

Howz this? More of a distiguished hands behind the back look.;)

RadicalSEED,

You're the winner! Great designs.

Just a couple of tweaks. Can you take the two versions below and fix the text so that there is a faint line between each character? Where the E meets the T it looks funny.

Thanks!
