Thank you all for your great ideas, and please bear with us. It will take us a couple of days or more to come to a final decision.

Popped back in as we look at our contest designs. #92, #82 & #83 are great App logos. I would be attracted to any of those but #82 still catches my eye the most. Best of luck.

Today, we started to try some of the logos and put them as the launch icon for our Android app. For this, we had to create different sizes of the image, the smallest one being 48 px by 48 px. Please check your suggestions that they don't contain too many details, or that they degrade gracefully at smaller sizes.

Also, the logo has to work well on dark/black backgrounds.

Here is an online tool that can be used to test images quickly: http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/icons-launcher.html

As an inspiration, we like the charisma of the middle character in this cartoon quite a bit:

Please ignore the other two guys. Also, ignore the weird goggles which the middle one is wearing.

Hello everybody,

This is becoming an impressive collection, thank you all for contributing your ideas!

We just eliminated a bunch of icons to gain a better overview. Sorry if your work was among the eliminated ones. We still thank you, your submissions definitely helped to get closer to an amazing result.

Just posted a contest today and saw yours. As an avid App shopper, I can say design #47 (currently ranked 5th) would be most likely to catch my eye. It looks professional, unique and purchase-worthy. Just a thought. Good luck

The idea of our platform is more about bringing people together to interact, less about learning in books.

Entry# 15 & 16: I can't help but reading "L1" with your suggestions :) also a nice none boring shape, however that type of shape seems to be "reserved" for antivirus apps https://play.google.com/store/search?q=antivirus&c=apps

Entry# 14: One of our favorites so far! For an Android logo, the blue background square would have to be removed though, since according to the Android style guidelines posted below, the app icon should have a distinct shape without background.

I like about entry# 10 that the logo contains distinct elements like the letter art, and is not just a square or round shape. The concrete shape might be problematic though, because it resembles the actual superman logo too closely; we don't want to get into trouble with the rights holder of "Superman" :)

Also, to spur creativity, the logo doesn't necessarily need to have a circle shape – anything "hero-like" works as well :)

Let me reiterate that we're seeking to use the logo as an app launch icon on Android. This means it should have about the same width and height. Also, it does not need to contain the actual name "Learn Hero", since that will be printed below the logo anyways.

There are two sources online for design guidelines:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html
http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html

It should also be possible to derive an iOS style version from the logo later, but that is not part of this contest.

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.

 

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 revisions to designs that you request from the designers can be emailed to support AT(@) logocontest.com and we will enter them into your contest for you.

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.

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.
