Contest--> I want a Logo + Design <--Contest

THE WINNER IS GUILE WITH HIS VERY NICE LOGO


Logos of the other participants

----------------------------------

Ok guys, this is an open contest, there will be only one winner who'll take these 50,000 DNF$
- See the bonuses at the bottom for the 70,000 DNF$ prize -

For what?
I want to launch a french registrar with the lowest price in france on domain names. The name of this registrar will be "" it means "Unbeatable.com" (think about the word unbeatable when doing a logo but write imbattable!) And please don't think about the french flag (blue/white/red because it doesn't fit my activity)

What to do?
I want the best unbeatable, massive, imperial logo!! lol !!
When the guys will come on my site they must say "wow, wonderful, this is the best registrar!!" !
You can design a logo squared, rounded, triangle, or whatever, I don't care !
I have a BIG preference for a vector logo so I can print it without loosing quality on t-shirts or maybe in the subway on a big poster lol (who knows?) - If you don't know vectors, do it in "pixels" but with at least 300 DPI -

With this, I want a custom design that will fit this logo perfectly. But don't spend all your time designing fanzy graphics, don't forget that it's a registrar, not a personal site, it must be fast to load, and with a simple/professionnal/modern look! I have a preference in a well done CSS design, maybe include some graphics to round the corners or I don't know what... YOU decide !
In your interest, don't submit your designs now, work on the logo in priority, so you can then work on the design when you'll have seen my first impressions on the logos !

My preferences in terms of color, I don't know but I thought about the "Basic Computing Colors" (white, blue, grey, etc..)
Please no purple, fushia, etc.. lol

If you want to include a mascot or something like that, as you want !
Don't forget that it is a professionnal website please!!

On the logo, there must be either:
- Imbattable
- imbattable
- IMBATTABLE
(try to include the .com, as "imbattable" alone is a TM)

If I had to choose to split the 50k, I would choose 40k for the logo and 10k for the design, this means "work in priority on the logo, i don't care about the design" :-D

Please reply here or send me a pm to tell that you participate to this contest (there's no obligation after that, it's just to know how many potential participants there are)
You can post your logos here (if you have an ftp to put them) or send to my email:
Please post/send web sized logos like it will show up when on the website (72 dpi, and I guess around 200-300 width)


Logos Page (all the logos received so far by mail or by pm)


BONUS: If I say "WOW" when I see a logo, first it means it will be the winner (lol), and then i'll add 10,000 DNF$ to his prize !!!
BONUS 2: If I say "WOW" when I see a design, first it means it will be the winner (lol), and i'll add 10,000 DNF$ to his prize
Note: When i'll choose the winner, i'll have a big preference on those who gave me a logo + design

I reserve the right to stop this contest at any time (I won't cause I need it, but just in case!)
I also reserve the right to not to choose a winner because none fitted my needs, in this case, i'll give away some DNF$ to the participants

Close Date: May, the 27th at midnight GMT FOR THE LOGOS
June, the 5th at midnight GMT for the designs


------------- NEWLY ADDED ------------------------

Several more logos added to the logos page...

After reflexion, I thougt that the contest will go this way:

1) I'll designate a winner but not publicly, i'll contact him by private message and i'll put "There is a winner !" on the first post of this thread. If you haven't received a PM when you see this, it means you're not the winner and i'm sorry because I know a lot of you spent a lot of time on these logos

2) Then i'll ask to this winner to do the second part of the contest (website design)
- If he provide a nice design, he will be the full winner and i'll announce his username publicly.
- If he doesn't, i'll have to speak to him about the prize and assign a part of the prize to the second part of this contest: The website design
And i'll contact by PM some of you to enter this second part. Of course everybody can participate but i'll contact especially some of you because I think they can win. Again, if you were in the first part and i don't contact you, it means i don't really think your work could win, sorry again

Of course, i'll do my best, and i hope the contest will stop at this step:
"If he provide a nice design, he will be the full winner and i'll announce his username publicly."
