Thanks to All who entered..

Of the final designs I would like to give a massive mark of appreciation to Mjbmonetarymetals for his design;



Overall this design was absolutely fantastic, there really is nothing to fault with it, it stood out really well and when put to people was described as 'very memorable'. The colours, the bags, everything, absolutely 10/10.


But I had to choose a winner... and the winner is jantenner81.
The winning design is a revision Jan sent me via PM:



I choose this as the winning design [even though actually on the focus groups Mjbmonetarymetals design 'won' by a narrow margin, this design came 2nd] because of one thing and that was the bag.
The bag to me represented a human face, with the 2 eyes and smile. . and having read about how people look for human faces in things I thought this bag could possibly be a warming, friendly connecting face for people to connect with.

--

So the bounty has now been paid to the winner.. but I would once again like to thank all who participated and would highly recommend and consider using both Mjbmonetarymetals  and  jantenner81 for any design work in the future, without a doubt.

Hi Everybody who has entered..

Thank you for your submissions..
I am now not accepting anymore submissions Smiley


I have entered everyones submission onto my blog as promised. If anyone wishes to be removed / have their website entered, please PM me.
You can view all submissions + vote on notable entries here: http://www.flibbr.com/blog?id=3


I have put a little voting widget (likebtn) on for 3 notable designs if anyone wants to cast a vote on there.

I have narrowed down the final to 2 designs..


#1, jantenner81

What I like: clean, simple, colours, roundedness, sleek, sexy.
How I feel it could be better: Something that clearly identifies it as 'shopping'.. etc.  An image of a shopping basket, trolly, bag, money..etc somehow placed with it I think would top it off, also as someone else pointed out, the 'F' and 'L', could also be misread as an 'A', maybe add some kerning there ?

#2, Mjbmonetarymetals

What I like: Clearly identifiable as of a shopping genre, '.com' extension visible & nice place for the strap line underneath it
How I feel it could be better: 'Flibbr' letters typography, I don't feel the 'L' is particularly visible, colour scheme ~ if it could be updated to the orange as per jans design this might make it look worse.. or maybe better to fit in with the colour scheming of the rest of my site.


I will message both entrants now and ask them if they want to make a final revision / submission. .  I noticed Jan did actually remove his post submission ~ but I'm not entirely sure why ?

Thanks,
Tom

The dark lettering on the dark background may not be clear enough  Huh Trying to make the one logo work on the light/dark background  Shocked

You should try using a 1px outline on the dark lettering Smiley

The cartoon character on the green hill will have to go.  Just a thought.  If I were to do it I would approach the name and make it sexy.  You will have to have an idea of what you are looking for.  On the front end and then ongoing.  Take the two B's and make them an overlay of a women's eyes.  If you want to stick with the right as being the bitcoin symbol then make that the iris.  Never miss the white of the eyes and size relative. The other will have to be contrasting, yes the other eye.  Changing irises in the same sex cause fear and interest and in the other attraction.  Why, I do not know.  Just then choose the font.  This will be tough.  You will have to have someone on hand to choose the font for the face.  You can choose eyes only.  Maybe the entire face.  That can be automatic.

Either way you have given all of the suggestion you will ever need.  This is a leg up on the cartoon character or just a standard face model.  You then have a template for making a changeable mathematical copyrightable system that you can use for any product.  Maybe products that you will decide on.

Hi,

Here is my submission.

The text in the logo itself is a custom typeface so you won't have to worry about font copyright for commercial use.

Here is a modified version of my sketch Smiley I still need to do some optical corrections on it, but if you pick my work, I'll have it finished ASAP Smiley Hope you like it!

I did it thinking in this characteristics:

- Friendly (I noticed that in your website)
- Innovative (looking at the future)
- 2.0 (minimalistic style, according to the current web and graphic design tendency)



Here some examples of the same graphic style on Social Media:

Facebook:



Google+:



And finally, how it looks in your web:




Remember that your logotype is the face and the soul of your business; it is not just something good looking, it has to communicate as much as you do. And my only advice is, think it twice (or more) before you use the Bitcoin logotype in yours, if it changes, or you decide to just use litecoin, etc, you will need to modify your logo, and it's not good for your business image. You should suggest the importance of Bitcoin in your design, but never condition the design to it. Remember that Bitcoin is just a payment method and no one put the Visa, Mastercard, etc logotype in their logo, because your project is more than just a payment method; it has to be unique. Please, take it just as my opinion, just that.

That's all for now Smiley

Thanks for your time!

I think Flibbr will choose the winning design, so casting out 'votes' won't help that much.
He asked for votes.

Which results in people asking their 'friends' to vote for them or worse, making fake accounts to vote. That won't get him the best design. Best of luck to everyone who entered the competition! Smiley

I liked tsoPANos's logo the best!
I looks simple, yet really eye-catching!  Shocked
Shilling on an alt account is despicable, especially when the nomenclature is so obvious.
