I've put submission #220 in the #1 spot, not because it is ALL the things I am looking for, but because it has elements that are exciting to me. I am still hoping for a symbol or a stylized human form that is in motion, rather than meditation. The "human butterfly" is the closest so far to embodying this idea. LuvEnergetix is about moving energy through one's being. So while the meditative posture sitting in a flame or a heart kind of works, it's not quite it. Thank you so much for all your work!

Hello Designers!

Thank you for your amazing submissions! Thank you for making my job of choosing so hard! As 2 days remain, here are some things to know:

1) COLOR: I'm highly favoring designs with a gold/rose/purple palette. Look at the current shortlist to see several designs with these colors.

2) FONT: The winner will understand my entire post on fonts. Note that you cannot directly use any of the fonts I linked, as they are all premium fonts. Your choices are to find a royalty-free font, create your own, or at least make sufficient changes to the font to make it unique. If you do not do this, the highest rank you can have at the end is second, and this is if I decide I am willing to pay for more than one logo design. I've uploaded two handwriting samples you can use as a basis to creating a unique font. In fact, if any of you are skilled in font creation, message me, as I could be willing to pay for my own font. I want to avoid any font that requires continued royalties.

3) DESIGN: I'm still looking for original concepts utilizing the info I posted. And please, if you can share designs that do NOT have a meditating figure in the middle, I am very open to seeing them. I'm obviously okay with the meditating human--just still hoping for more variety of concept.

That's all for now. Thank you very much for all your creative work!

In the energy of love and joy,
Sunlark

DESIGN:

So far I've posted about font and color. And I honestly wouldn't be able to write these if it weren't for all the amazing submissions that are helping me get more clear about what elements work for my sensibilities and what elements do not. Many are awesome but not in alignment with this specific brand. Others are awesome and also catch a strong sense of what LuvEnergetix is about. Those that are ranked are designs I would be happy with if the contest ended today, and we still have 5 more days for you to participate and show me new ideas.

If you desire to make more submissions, I love seeing your creativity--especially when it is both original work and incorporating the information in both my page comments and, where applicable, in the private notes I have posted to individual designer pages.

At this stage it is very tempting to copy other designers, so I want to suggest some new ideas that have not yet been tried so that you can unleash your unique creativity more fully on this project.

1. Using a human form is great, but so far, every human form has been in the classic meditation posture. Why not try a standing or dancing human?
2. Also, I prefer, if you use one human form, be as androgynous as possible. I do not want to be able to have certainty over whether the human is a man or woman. OR go ahead and use a feminine form as this work appeals more to women than to men. Just please avoid any forms that are clearly masculine.
3. Using a symbol is great, and this is a bit harder to suggest what to do, as my hope is that you create a new symbol. Elements I love in symbols would be the 8 directions similar to a compass and the gold-on-blue logo I uploaded in the examples. It is the same one that is on the manipura chakra with added heart and symbol design I uploaded. That is more complex than what I want, but I love the colors and that it might inspire something new.
4. If you do a symbol, thoughts about how human energy works are great. This is why the hearts in infinity is such a sweet idea. Several of my uploaded samples and some of your submissions capture this concept well.
5. The way I work with energy also incorporates the energy of the earth/Gaia and the heavens/stars/Universe. It is about connecting with the energies of your own heart, with the energy of Gaia, and with the energy of the Universe.
6. You can meditate on chi/ki, life force energy, the energy field of the human body and/or of human-to-human connection.

Some designs are beautiful but do not work for what I want, so here are some things to avoid:
1. Single-line drawings. I want a more grounded, embodied look.
2. Too many sharp angles. If your design has some points, that can be okay. But I am not looking for something boxy.
3. Too busy. I want a clean design. While I will choose a colorful logo, it should still be something that can be translated to grayscale or even better to black-and-white and still be recognizable. So either a logo that can be directly translated to black-and-white OR two versions with slight modifications so that the black-and-white version can still pop. Please don't upload any bw versions until I ask for them--just be aware that I will want to be able to make a bw version of the final.

And, of course, read ALL my comments fully before going to work as you are much more likely to hit the sweet spot!

With deep gratitude for all of you and all your beautiful work!

COLOR talk:
Thank you sooo much for the lovely submissions! So many beautiful colors and concepts!

I would like to see more use of gradient designs between 2-3 colors rather than the full rainbow. I would also like some reduced saturation options. As I linked to fonts that I liked in the last post, I'm going to link to 1st place winners right here on Logocontest.com to showcase designs I think do a fantastic job with color. Please look at the first place winners for how the color choices contributed to an amazing logo. Thanks so much!

FONTS: Let's talk Fonts!

For this logo, I am looking for something that flows, most likely a script font. I also want the bottom of the V to look like a V and not a U. So this eliminates MANY font choices. A script font with a point on the bottom of the letter V. And flowing, not jangly.

For the V, here are some fonts that give the idea:
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/retro-supplyco/palm-canyon-drive/regular/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/jprintstudio/emalia/bold-italic/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adam-ladd/braisetto

For the overall flow though, something more like these fonts:
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/typesetit/corinthia/pro-medium/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/laura-worthington/shelby/basic-bold/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/typesetit/waterfall/pro/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/typesetit/waterfall/butterfly/

Of course, submissions should only use completely free fonts or fonts of your own creation or ownership.

LEGIBILITY/VISIBILITY:
Please make sure that your entries have contrast between design and background. If one cannot read the entire word and/or see the full symbol, then please tweak your designs to be easier to see and read.

YOUR FEEDBACK AND QUESTIONS are welcome. If something doesn't make sense or if there a design issue you feel I should be made aware of, please let me know. This is a collaborative endeavor and working together will yield the best result!

Thank you for the beautiful submissions! While I love the rainbow effect, for new submissions I hope some of you will try other colorful approaches as well. I would also love to see a bit more sparkle, especially in the words. Also, I am hoping for some sort of creative Word Art or even a Wordmark. Ideal is a unique symbol and a unique font and possibly some combination of the two. Again, the tagline does not need to be included. I'm more focused on a symbol and word art that flow well together in color and style. Again, much gratitude for the beautiful work! <3

Happy Monday for you designers where the sun rises early! I've added a few more images that speak to the concept of love as energy aka LuvEnergetix. All of these images are owned by others and are here to give inspiration for your unique creation! I recommend that you take a moment to connect with your own heart, as the best designs will spring from the energy of love. Thank you sooo much for your heart, your talent, your creativity, and your willingness to co-create a logo that will become part of the work itself. <3

I am looking for a symbol and/or WordArt for this logo. Ideally, it could work on both a white and a black background while being colorful and radiant. Thanks!

Good morning! Thank you to the first 3 designers who have plunged into our project!
As promised, here is my feedback based on submissions #1-7.
Seeing these, I recognize I am looking for more softness, more color, more vibrancy, more motion, and more heart.
I like that #4 shows motion.
In #2 I like the glowing heart, as well as the flower-like symbol around it.
For the name, LuvEnergetix, I am hoping for a softer flowing font.
And no need to add the tagline at all. I don't associate taglines with logos, and they are easy enough to add later, if desired.

Hello Designers! I am looking forward to the emergence of your designs, and will provide feedback throughout. I am looking for a logo that captures concepts of energy in motion and the energy of love. While these might seem challenging to incorporate into a logo, I trust something beautiful will emerge. Thanks so much for your talent and time!

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 RANKED #1.

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.
