Description and What We Do: Competitive 4 way Formation Skydiving Team, Coaching Business -- Primarily used for a competition Skydiving team, secondarily for coaching business. Think Professional Sports team first. SDC Rhythm XP is one of the top 4 way teams in the world, aspiring to be the best in the world. SDC and XP are our two largest sponsors. SDC stands for Skydive Chicago and XP is for Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving Wind Tunnel. Rhythm is the team name, however SDC and XP should be included too. We do not want anything Music related.

#16 - we like this a lot. wondering what it will look like on a white background. also, prefer the font and placement of sdc and xp that #2 has. for one thing, the slanted M in #2 leaves more space between lettering so it is clearer to see from far, and secondly we like sdc and xp next to instead of above the rhythm, especially the sdc a little above and xp a little lower.
#2 - we like this font the best
#18-21 - we think this is also going in the right direction. we like 19 and 21 the best of those. would be nice to have a fifth element but we don't like the dot in the middle so much.

Love the ideas that are coming in!

Like the font on submission 2, 5, 9 and 10.

For designs that have elements of 5 people, like #9 and #12. Our competition actually has 4 people in formation and one cameraperson usually above. If those designs could be adjusted to look like 4 people in the formation and one a little above / out, etc. that would be more appropriate. See pictures above.

Sumbission #6 -- we LOVE the icon! Can we see in different colors? perhaps silver and blue. Also maybe a different font?

Submission #7 -- Like the style and simplicity. More ideas similar?

In the previous comment, I had the submissions mixed up -- Comments for #2 should be for #3, and #3 for #2.

Submission #2 -- going in the right direction. Not a big fan of the font. Something simpler? Concerned that the orange haze may not look good with embroidery, etc.

Submission #3 -- Like the simplicity, and clean lines, and the font. The design just happens to look like a person flying head-down, which is a different skydiving discipline. Appreciate the symbolism -- maybe not the V specifically?

it does not have to have a skydiver on it, but if it does, it should have 4 skydivers in a formation, or some stylized version of that. it could also include the 5th skydiver on the team, the videographer.

Submission #1 -- We like the colors. The skydiving images here are a little old school, specifically the body position of the skydiver, and the shape of the parachute. I will post some photos to show.

The skydiving reference doesn't need to be so literal.

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND SELECTED.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

 

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

 

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!

Please recommend us to your friends and business associates for all of their logo design and web page design needs.
