[Project Complete] Need a logo for a fishing reel ($100)

[prochallenger]

(Admin code added by Michael - JK754535G)

I have started a new company which sells fishing reels. I am searching for a logo for putting on my fishing reels. The logo must include "PRO Challenger" in it.

[Just J]

Hi prochallenger,
I will be working on a concept for you. Could you please tell us a little about your reels? Fresh water, salt water (bottom, trolling, flats), fly fishing, etc? Maybe supply a picture?

Thanks.

[prochallenger]

Hi Jason,

I will be carrying Trolling, BaitCasting, Fresh water and Salt Water. You can check out the pictures at www.internationalchallenger.com

Thanks,
Alan

[Just J]

Thought I might start this out with something I'm sure you weren't expecting.
I figured that since red, blue and green were used by the larger reel makers, that I would try orange.

:)

[prochallenger]

I am looking for a log in round, and the "PRO" word is on top of the "Challenger" word.

Thanks,
Pro Challenger

[Just J]

Just to understand a little better...
Are you looking for something iconic to accompany the round design?

FYI, I had a round design done, no icon, and deleted it thinking it was too "standard" :lol:

[prochallenger]

Mostl likely I will put the logo on the side of the reel.

[prochallenger]

Yes, I am also looking for something iconic to accompany the round design, too.

[Just J]

Here you go. It's not a circle, but I thought it fit better like this. In case you are wondering what the icon is...
Abstract fish - Inside of the "P" is the tail, the rest is the head and body.
Abstract reel - Inside of the "P" is the crank, the rest is the body of the reel.

Hello here's one from MOZ

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the long feedback that follows. I realize I should have given more detail with my submission.

In addition to my comments below, I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of design that incorporates an oval logo with a border or some sort.

Jason: Thanks for the submits. I am not sure about the orange color. Could you try maybe using a nice blue? Also, I don't really think the abstract fish is right for the image I am looking for. Could you experiment with a couple of other things, such as fishing reels... less abstract fish, etc? One last thing, I don't really like the rounded-rectangle. Could you make it more purely round, or oval shaped?

MOZ: Thanks for the great submissions. It may be a bit too involved to show up clearly as a small logo on a reel though. Could you remove the fishing line and bait? Also, could you make the PRO in all uppercase and could we try a different font that is not cursof? I like a fish in the logo, but yours is perhaps a bit too realistic. Could we try something in between Jason's abstract fish and your realistic fish?

Eziey: Thanks for participating. I feel like your fish looks too much like a minnow. Could you perhaps change it up a bit. Also, the lettering should be more prominent in the logo.

Thanks.

[Just J]

This is probably it for me today ;)

I happend to have this one finished as well (but had no plans of posting it) and it was along the lines of what you stated in your last post, so here you go.

[prochallenger]

Eziey: Thanks for submission. Can you make a fish a bit little more realistic like Moz (not too realistic). I think if a fish wrap aroud the word PRO Challenger, that will be great. Also, can you not to use 3D font?

[eziey]

MOZ, let me know if I'm too close :oops:

[prochallenger]

Eziey, thanks. It is getting there. Can you display "PRO Challenger" in blue or any color you think it will look good? Also, I think it will even look better if you could make the "PRO Challenger" stands out a little bit. Thanks,
Alan

[MOZ]

It's cool! Looks good!

[prochallenger]

Moz, do you have other design of your last one (#10)?

[prochallenger]

Eziey, can you make a little water splash with your design? I try to picture the fish is jumping up out of the water. Thanks, Alan

[Bill]

I'll cast my entry into the pond.

[MOZ]

Hi Alan thanks for asking, but I feel anything that I enter based on my original idea will be too much like Eziey's entry. If there's still time I may be able to get you something else.

[prochallenger]

Hi Moz, there is still a lot of tiime. Please come up if some great ideas.

Hi Bill, thank you for the submission. It does not look bad at all. If you think of something else, please post it.

Thanks guys,
Alan

[Fabian]

Hello Alan

Time for me to drop a line.

Looking forward to your comments and directions

Cheers
Fabian

[prochallenger]

Hi Fabian, thank you for the submission. You have some good idea, but I don't think those are fishes. Can you make a fishes little better?
Thanks,
Alan

[Fabian]

Alan

What i tryed to do was represent the spinning motion of the reel by the two fishes chasing each other in a circler motion.Do want a more detailed fish with fins and gills as my more abstract fish are'nt to your taste ?

Cheers
Fabian

[prochallenger]

Hi Fabian, I do like your idea. Yes, I want to see a little bit more details on the fishes. It would be even better have a little water splash on the top fish. Do you know what I am looking for?

Thanks,
Alan

[Fabian]

I hoping so :)

[prochallenger]

Hi Fabian, this is a good stuff. It is possible to make those fished between Eziey's abstract fish (last submission) and your realistic fish? Also, canwe try some other font for the word "PRO"?

Thanks,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Hi MOZ, have you come upany other ideas yet?

Thanks,
Alan

[MOZ]

working on one! if you don't see it by morning, it self destructed. I'll try to get it up midnight PST

Thanks for keeping me in mind...it's appreciated
MOZ

Alan

A less detailed fish and a more playful font,with the "PRO" font are you after seirf or sans seirf ?

Cheers
Fabian

[prochallenger]

Hi Fabain, I think I like the fishes in your concept 1.2. Sorry, about going back and fore on those fishes. Can you give me some examples with difference fonts and colors on the words "PRO Challenger"? I am looking for something it will get the buyer's attention. Those fishes are good started. I am very thankful for your afforts.

Alan

[eziey]

:)

[Fabian]

are you after seirf or sans seirf fonts ?

Alan

Could i please get an answer to this.

Cheers
Fabian

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey, thank again for the submission. I think it looks good.

Hi Fabian, I don't know what seirf or sans seirf look like. Can you show them to me? I think the font Eziey used was the one I am looking for.

Alan

[Aaron]

Here's how I see it... :)

[prochallenger]

Hi Aaron, thanks for the submission. It looks very cool, but the fish just did not look right. Maybe you can fix up that fish.

Thanks,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Hi Fabian, can you make those fishes not too round more oval?

Thanks,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

Thank you for the great works. Is it possible to try a couple styles of fish's head?

Thanks again,
Alan

[Aaron]

I tried to "fix up" the fish a little... let me know if this is more the direction you want to go.

[eziey]

:)

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

It is getting there very close. Can you try to open up the fish's mouth a little? Then, I think we will be there.

One of my partner would like to see that fish as a Marlin. Can you do that?

Thanks,
Alan

[eziey]

:)

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

One of my partner would like to see that fish as a Marlin. Can you do that? Sorry fot all thess requests.

Thanks,
Alan

[eziey]

:)

[prochallenger]

Thanks for your recent submissions eziey.

We are definitely getting closer. Could you take a look at these two marlin pictures as a reference and modify your marlin to look more like them:

1. http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=47
2. http://www.blueoceantackle.com/blue%20marlin.jpg

In particular, could you try to match the open mouth of the second link... to make it more like the fish is being caught.

Also, I am not sure about the oval background behind the fish. Could you try some alternatives... such as without the background, or with a slightly different background?

Thanks.

[prochallenger]

Hi eziey,

Have you had a chance to look into those links?

Thanks,
Alan

[eziey]

:)

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

That looks great! Just a couple more requests:

1. Could you try to tighten up the chin/neck of the fish. Make it a little smaller, or more of a curve?

2. Could you add some detail to the tail... similar to what is in the fin?

3. Also, could you try a darker shade of blue... like a steel blue or something. Maybe a couple different choices for that one please.

4. Could you also try one sample with the fish blue, and the text black?

Thanks a lot.

Alan

[eziey]

I'll do the revision tomorrow as I'm going to bed right now :)...It is 6 am in Malaysia right now :)

[prochallenger]

Thanks a lot.

Alan

[eziey]

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

Thank you for the great works. I am kind like the Pantone 541 CVC & black logo. Could you please toucj up with the nose of the fish? Because it looks like a bird. I think its nose should be little bit longer.

Thanks again,
Alan

[eziey]

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

Well done. The last thing I would like to see if you can give us a rough idea of what the logo will look like on a business card. I saw you have done that to some other clients.

Thanks,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

As soon as you give us a rough idea of what the logo will look like on a business card, we can wrap this project up.

Thank you for all hard works.
Alan

[eziey]

Sorry keep you waiting...Doing some work for other contest just now ....:)

[eziey]

Bed time !!!

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

That will be it. I will talk it over with my partners about this logo and business card. I really like it. I believe you are the winner for this contest.

When I close this contest, I would like to contact you by e-mail if it is possible.

Let me know. I will close this tomorrow morning.

Thank you for all your works you have done.

Thanks again,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Hi,

We have chosen Eziey's designed logo for our products and company.

Congrat, Eziey!

Thanks,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Eziey,

I will let you know what file format I need for this logo.

Thanks,
Alan

[prochallenger]

Hi Eziey,

I will need gif, jpg, jpeg, jpe, jfif, tif, tiff, PDF, AI, and DNV files. I will also need the file type for busniess card, anything you can think of.

I still see this project still open. How can I edit the title to [Project Completed]?

Thanks,
Alan

[Michael]

Hi Eziey,
I still see this project still open. How can I edit the title to [Project Completed]?

Thanks,
Alan

I've edited the title to say [Designer Chosen] once you are in recept of the file post a messge in here and we will then change the title to [Project Complete]

[eziey]

Link to download your file has been sent to your private message .
For business card design, you can use file provided under "vector " folder (eps, pdf or AI)...
I've never heard of DNV format...I don't think that it is necessary
when you already have vector, high resolution tiff and jpg...
Please advise..
