Here is my entry. Tried to keep it simple.

I also created a 3D Rotating version of the Logo.

Updated with a quick animation just to give you an idea, but this can be animated/rendered/coloured in any method you like. I wasnt sure on the slogan, but it can be changed/removed etc to what you prefer if you like.

I think the anger this thread has generated in some is unwarranted.

Take responsibility for your dismissive and denigrating words, "this thread" didn't generate anger, you did.

You were pissy before I even showed up.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 07:00:03 AM

You insult anyone who considers them self a designer, and ignorantly assume it is an easy job not worthy of compensation. Additionally those that do practice it are rightfully exploited as lesser forms of laborers. This is what generates anger.

First, I don't insult designers. I point out that some people overvalue their work.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 07:00:03 AM

It is not that difficult to review design samples and PICK A SINGLE DESIGNER TO CONTRACT WITH.

Agreed. But that is not what OP wanted. So he did something different. Get over it.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 07:00:03 AM

Making dozens of people waste their time so you don't have to review samples and make a choice is not only extremely lazy but is exploitative, divisive, and destructive to the overall community here, as well as anyone who calls themselves a graphic designer.

You can't exploit people who are entering into a voluntary association, with complete information. OP didn't lie to anyone.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 07:00:03 AM

I assure you it will harm your reputation more than it is worth, and eventually no one will deal with you if this is regular practice.

If that's the case then so be it.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 07:00:03 AM

Side note: This is also how voluntarism is practiced, via rightful exclusion from the community as a result of abuse of it.

Again, so be it.

Goonies never say die.

The anger appears to come from professionals who have spent time getting 'trained' on things that people can now learn on youtube or other internet-based resources... and have resorted to pointing out issues that only 'trained' professionals would notice, which is not what the OP is looking for. There is still a place for the 'highly trained' professionals, just not sure it is on a bitcoin forum.

A lot of professions are also going through the same aggravation. It is a different world Wink

But in the end, I have withdrew my submissions because I obviously didn't realize the OP was actually looking for a fancy word with different fonts, or I would have devoted more time towards this... but I cannot devote any more time - its just not worth it.

This is exactly the kind of ignorance and bias people have to justify this type of practice. Oooo its just coloring a little picture! A child could do it! Do you even realize how demeaning and disrespectful you sound? The whole of the work done to construct properly designed branding is not simply the final image you see but the research and composition time spent to get to the final arrangement. You can't quantify the total of the work done by looking at the single image.

iam complete with you!? But some people here don't want to know this... the design process of a logo is smallest part on corporate design act. Resarch und concept comes first ... as i said ... here in forum aren't much professional designers ... most of them are hobby "pictures makers" thats why peeple don#t evene think thats a difficult job ...

Designing one logo is not a difficult job. Putting an entire site worth of logos, color schemes, visual effects and backgrounds is a much more difficult job. It's still subjective though.

Quote from: ?? on ??

When entered design contest ... its not the money point ... its my passion .. so i must/want design every day ... and i need input and ideas and do this kind of jobs for reference ( BUT STUP GUYS DON'T PM ME YOU NEED A LOGO FOR NOTHING

). But iam completly with you ... for example - here in germany - if you go to an prof. design agency iam working for/with, a corporate design starts at 20-30 BTC (Just logo with fonts).

It's your passion; precisely. Designing is artistic in nature. It may not be fully artistic, as there is communication involved and coordination. But it's still subjective.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Cause when you want a professional corporate design you get an complete concept, the designer have to view all disciplines like:

- Logo work
- Logo fits on ( placats, apps, business cards, is it adaptable for other future works etc.)
- Style guide ( when you must use which colors - brand colors and much more - font sizes for example on header title and so on)

But most people here loooking for a "nice colored picture" !
Hope you could understand the meaning, iam learning english every day

You are right of course. But OP is looking for people like you, who enjoy design, who have extra time on their hands to give it a shot. I think the anger this thread has generated in some is unwarranted.

He's not asking for an entire branding package. He asked for a logo. The whole entire contest is for one logo, not an entire site worth of branding. If that was the case, that'd be different. So you are getting worked up over an imagined slight.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 02:06:54 AM

It's value is NOT subjective. If it was it would just be called ART not DESIGN. Design entails functional and targeted construction of something original, not just "coloring a pretty picture".

All he asked for was a picture. He didn't ask for an entire page. And even if he did, Design still is closely related to art. I may hate a very well organized design. It's SUBJECTIVE in that it can appeal to some and not others. You can't compare this to objective "It Works or It doesn't" jobs like plumbing or coding.

Quote from: TECSHARE on August 28, 2013, 02:06:54 AM

Show me where I used the words "free market" please. You are arguing with yourself.

What are you talking about? You had a whole montage about market forces. If you are not talking about free markets, what kind of market are you talking about? In what market would stabbing someone just be seen as a market force and not simply force? You're fucking retarded.

Musicians have to audition, right? They're giving you their work for free.

Artists live and work in a different realm than a lot of people.

LOL, graphic design is not an artistic work, why everybody thinks it is? Every graphic designer had learned in his first 2 months of study that his work is not related with the art; it's related with the use of your brain, study the communication process in each work and investigate all about your customer so you can think like him and communicate like he wants... the art is related with feelings, ideologies, show determinate landscape with an specific pictorial style, but never about direct communication. When the communication appeared in the art (for example in the Russian Constructivism, with the posters made by artists), there was born the graphic design in its first steps.

Hope some people learn something about the graphic design before start a (real) discussion.

This is my post portfolio with a diverse set of logos to satisfy your logo request. Have a look and study diligently for your full considerations. I have spent hours to concept a logo design as per your request carefully. Thanks in advance for your serious consideration and final decision. Wink

As always I will continue to add more logo designs until the deadline is meant. So keep checking in

Heres my input. Simple modern flibbr logo with white background. The arrow represents speed and promptness. Then inverted spirals represent simplicity and transparency.

*New: For the newly added, I completely redesigned these logos from scratch and added a few more items for symbolism. The "double arrow" design (#3) again means transparency and promptness. (#3)Along with a touch of green to match your website flibber.com two tone presentation. (3.5) has a touch of orange for bitcoin symbolic element. Completely new addition #4 has a typewriter theme represents percision with a symbolic orange letter "r' for Bitcoin.

#1

#2

*NEWLY ADDED-> #3

#3.5 w/orange for Bitcoin ->

#4

INtroduction into the modern cloud with Flibbr inside. Accompany with a two tone green to complement your website design. A subtitle slogan underneath the website name. The cloud is recognized icon throughout the internet, and is associated with "ease of use", "practical", and "productivity." With the cloud design, you brand will "stand out", be recognizable and unique. The cloud is also much much more softer to the eyes which seems more trusting and reliable. the cloud design has a high probability of being remembered by new users.

#1

#2

#3

Here a modern icon "app" looking logo for your website. By the way the trademark is for show (not real) Wink

An attempt web 2.0 logo(s) with the classic look of round corners/font as you requested. These logos are meant to establish a brand & in a sense it will be your identity in the future of cryptocurrency market.

New added: For the completely redesigned "fbr" icon (#3), I have added more functionally from the previous fbr icon (#1). As for the circle design logo, I was aiming for your request for "roundness", "picture worth 1000 words" symbology and minimalistic logo design for (#4). #4 also adds the golden angle for bitcoin and doubles as a icon. I hope you like the new content aimed to fit your website goals and purpose.

#1

#2

*NEWLY ADDED-> #3

#4

Here a eye friendly geometry green and blue combination to complement the green coloration in your website. Again the logo is maintaining minimalist design. With this design I hoped to venture from your original request, a tad bit for more diversity and open possibilities.

Here a sample of simple blue bubbles with upbeat font for your website logo. The other logo has stripes accompany with curvature. Here an attempt of sharp speech bubble for #3 (with sharp corners) and paper airplane which represents productivity and the modern webby 2.0 feeling. #3 was n attempt to explore another aspect of the web 2.0 culture and philosophy with sharp corners.

#1

#2

*NEWLY ADDED-> #3

Here my first try! I'm totally crowded of work this week and finally found some time to submit something today, hope you like it.
I have made a design according to the actual web design tendency, with a minimalistic morphology. My original idea behind this logo is to keep some of the friendly essence of your website design and to show with the typography how your project helps your customers to be heard for the people (thinking about publishing articles and advertising), and it's shown in the "BBR" part of the logo where the first B helps the second one an the R to reach the height of the other letters, and in the isotype it's synthesized in just the 2 "B" (which are very representative in this design). This explanation is what I had in mind when designing, and I think it can represent perfectly your project (at least what I had understood about it and what I've seen in the web). Hope you understand my explanation, I'm not native english talker Sad

I'll try to find some time over my week to submit something, but I think it will be a bit hard this one.

Hope you like it!

THE ENTIRE JOB is coloring a pretty picture. Many people are willing to do that for free for the chance of making money. Not everyone is willing to reach their hand into your poop on the chance of making money; they want a guarantee that touching poop will yield them profit. There are people who are willing to draw for free, with only a chance at profit. You are calling for them not to be willing to do that. What makes you think you will be successful, or that your call is even warranted?

This is exactly the kind of ignorance and bias people have to justify this type of practice. Oooo its just coloring a little picture! A child could do it! Do you even realize how demeaning and disrespectful you sound?

But you CAN make a design without training, and its value is subjective. Plumbing is objective; either it works or it does not. Not so with design. One man may love a design that another man hates. Therefore your analogy doesn't fit, regardless of whether my analogy to musicians fits or not.

It's value is NOT subjective. If it was it would just be called ART not DESIGN. Design entails functional and targeted construction of something original, not just "coloring a pretty picture".

Violence is the antithesis of free markets. Do you even know what the definition of free markets is? Free markets are voluntary associations. Stabbing me would not technically or practically be a market force because I did not consent to the stabbing.

You are on your soap box, and it's unbecoming. If you don't approve, don't participate.

Show me where I used the words "free market" please. You are arguing with yourself.
