DIGITAL DRAWING: In this contest, your goal is to make a logo for a new fictitious chain of electric stores. The name of these stores is "E-Green". There's some limitations for you to consider.
1. the logo needs to be useable on the stationary, the shopwindows and so on. So background colors are OK but they have to be part of the logo.
2. Besides "E-Green" you can add another catchy phrase like "the store for you". This is up to you, but if you add some text make it short and catchy.
3. Because "E-Green" sells electronics which are better for the environment they want the colour green to be part of the logo.
4. A small reference to the environment aspect of the product in the logo is allowed but not required. "E-Green" considers this to be a normal aspect of modern day life and doesn't want to stand out comparing to other stores on this aspect, the desired colour green should be enough.
5. No premade shapes and fonts, "E-Green" wants to have something unique like a handwritten font.
>>> As a bonus you can add some extra steps in the SBS to present your logo (besides the required normal steps!). You can for instance show how your logo will look on a shopwindow. For this it is allowed to use external free sources (don't forget to mention them!) AND you may use ALL of PS tools to do so, but remember: this is extra, not required and only in the SBS!
Good luck!
jaescoe21: is there a website for this company??? ( 5 years and 3492 days ago )
sunzet: are we allowed to use other programs than photoshop, such as Illustrator or InDesign? ( 5 years and 3492 days ago )
Contest Moderator: @jaescoe21: this is a ficticious company and @sunzet: yes, but only for the EXTRA steps, not for the entry itself. The entry itself MUST obey the normal digital drawing contest rules. ( 5 years and 3492 days ago )
thefinalcut: Hi, Is the E-Green case sensitive?? ( 5 years and 3491 days ago )
thefinalcut: Also, Is it an electronics store? ( 5 years and 3491 days ago )
Contest Moderator: @thefinalcut: nope and yep ( 5 years and 3491 days ago )
sunzet: This seems to be a contest very similar to the "icon"-contest in Photoshop. ( 5 years and 3491 days ago )
annabat: I thought the same thing Sunzet. ( 5 years and 3490 days ago )
iquraishi: and the extra text like "the electronic store" or "the store for you" shouldn't be any font..? or is it ok to use a font for that..? ( 5 years and 3489 days ago )
Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
The contest description says you can't use any pre-made fonts. "5. No premade shapes and fonts, "E-Green" wants to have something unique like a handwriten font. " (thought it should say handwritten)
Author, just you made a mistake!... Better you change your premade leaf for one drawn by yourself. The rest is ok, nice entry...
author says:
yea.. you know I created this at 3 am in the night.. and just before closing the site I noticed the point no. 5.. I'm already on it and would edit it today.. and according to you erikuri, I can leave the font..? actually its mentioned that no premade font or shape.. what do you reckon?
The E looks like the one in the game of pacman...Nice one but a little less on electronic store i guess...it doesnt apparently give an idea that its related to an electronic store...Overall a nice work....
author says:
I see where some of you are coming from as far as the electronic theme. I have to disagree that the logo has to look like something electronic. Circuit City, Best Buy, Radio Shack, Walmart, Nike all have logos that do not resemble their store. If you start to look at popular logos, almost all logos are this way. This is why I didn't add a plug or anything to my entry.
Did you create the font, it doesn't show in your sbs except the addition of the lightning on the one e. Could you show how you sketched out your font in a more detailed sbs?
author says:
I made some changes... please see the sbs... thank u for your comments!

It sure looks good though

beautiful logo
Nice one...Simple yet beautiful....
nice and simple!!
Anything pre-made is not usable, by the description of contest. Font or Leaf.
So... I suppose the only thing to do is... using pen tool and creativity and do the letters yourself! - that's what I'm trying to do...
alright annabat.. I'll edit it today evening.. thanks everybody for your comments and guidelines..
I can't wait to see the edit! Go get em!
hello people, I've edited the file, I know its not that affective but I hope you all like this as well..
Really like the edit, the idea is very clever!! I really like the use of negative space to create an object.
This is very nice! I like it a lot...
I'm a fan of negative spacing and always wanted to try it.. couldn't miss the opportunity to try my hand at it..
the gradient is great
Nicely done........GL
i think its better now gl author
