Contest Brief

Require logo for my blog called 'The Fat Badger's Guide To Sales'

The blog provides advice to those in sales and service jobs e.g. sales reps, retail sales, sales managers, account managers, customer service, small business owners

Logo design must be suitable so that it can be applied to any background.

Logo criteria:
- fresh
- Modern
-crisp
- a little fun
- a little business feel but must also be accessible e.g. this is not a logo for a law or accountancy firm
- a little educational
- something that would look good printed on a tshirt, website, etc
- with graphic and business name, preferably a character (a badger) that could feature in promotional material and elsewhere on the website. There is strong chance future work will be given to successful designer. Therefore your work must be original and be able to be replicated.
- it would be good if the logo could look good with and without the tageline. Thats is if i want to chnage tag line i can have 2 versions and be editable to change tag line for different needs
- Colours: happy for suggestions but i like clean colours such as blue's, silvers, black, white. Must be able to be printed in one colour and still be recognisable and good looking. This is to enable it to be applied to different backgrounds and reduce printing costs. So please limit use of colours e.g. 4-5 multi colour logo is not suitable
- full copyright must pass to me if you are successful entrant

I will provide feedback as contest progresses so please feel free to check in and ask.

Attached files include 2 previous logo designs/ideas.

The file named fatbadger1: I like how the graphic sits above the text, however the badger itself is not the quality I am looking for. The head was clearly taken from another picture and the designer tried to make it work - but it doesn't. a logo like this one with an original badger graphic that is simple and fits the above guidance would be a good start for entrants.

The 2nd file titled TFBv2 is ok but I don't like the bubble font style. the idea they had of a badger reading the guide is ok.

These may assist in your design.

There was also a contest on this site for a logo called 'orangefly' - i like the winners logo/style.

Contest winner must be able to supply the logo in all the usual file types e.g. psd, hires jpeg, eps etc etc

attention everyone..I am looking for a logo with some good clarity and sharpness that will stand out on any background. it must be easy for people to identify what the business is about ..for exaample if people have to ask what is that in your logo then that it is not good for business. the entry with the whiteboard and the one with the books are good examples that demonstarte my aim to be 'a little educational, a little fun, but still a real business' that must be excellent resolution to 'pop' out of the screen and catch attention. please ask questions as I am on here multiple times a day

  The concept of illustrating what a company does is actually the least successful in the market place. What a logo must do, is convey a feeling that can be associated with a consumer's perception for example: quality, safety, freedom, lifestyle - any emotion that is relevant to your business. Conveying that emotion usually does not imply illustrating what a company does. The Mercedes logo is not an image of a car, the Nike logo is not an image of sports apparel, the McDonalds logo is not a hamburger, and I could go on.

Brandise: your design is too comical. Needs to be more serious in style than that. Thanks

  see the logo on my website....something similar with a better graphic would be good. I also like the idea of one of the other contestants that had a guide book with picture of badger on it www.thefatbadgersguidetosales.com

Toy20 my previous comments relate to design 4. Design 5 is getting closer to the mark but still not professional enough.

Dileepant . If you are going to use a graphic then it should be of something to do with a badger or sales guide book or similar. The font and logo is not what I had in mind. Thanks

Zsarwar30 - the graphic in your entry has nothing to do with bdagers or sales or consultancy. Also the 's' is missing from the word sales.
