Thank you to all for your entries thus far! For both current and prospective designers, please use the text "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" instead of "Fitness and Training". Thank you!

Good morning, designers! Some additional thoughts on designs to be woven into the logo: In addition to the "black belt" pattern (black with a section of red at the end) and the "black bear" motifs, designs incorporating elements of a "rook" ("castle") chess piece would be welcomed. As clarification on one of the primary activities, when you think "Brazilian jiu-jitsu" think "wrestling, with dirty tricks included" not "kicking and punching"...Thank you, again, for your consideration of this design contest!

Not a requirement, but if you are so inspired to include an abstract animal motif...think "black bear" (not the California grizzly that is on our state flag, as those are now extinct...which doesn't send the desired message...)...

On colors: The images provide context. The one shows a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt (with red sleeve) against a white jiu-jitsu (or judo) gi/uniform top. Hue of red should be that of the red on the United States flag. The two gold medals provide context for the optional gold (or similar yellow?) accents.

Good evening, all! Thank you for your interest. A few notes as to what I am NOT seeking: Either the "TapouT" style logo/text, or the "Affliction" font and associated fleur-de-lis designs, etc. Also, no cage patterns (chain link fence) and no pit bull terriers. All of the above are played out to the point of parody. Also, any octagon shapes may run afoul of the UFC organization and their attorneys. Thank you, again!

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.
