After the public rejection of AppleXY's logo, and facing a short timeframe for the site to go live, I offer you the VCENotes logo competition:
Firstly, what's up for grabs?
- Your name being credited at the bottom of the VCENotes main website
- A post in the Announcements forum declaring your glory for all to see
- A custom user title
- *cue inspirational music* The respect and love of the entire community
Guidelines
- It MUST display the words "VCE Notes" in that exact capitalisation in some form.
- The background must be transparent
- It must fit the grey/blue theme of SMF
- It must have some relation to 'notes'
Submit entries to: [email protected]
Thank you. :)
btw, I'll be posting up the submissions and their submitters here for all to see. I don't want to put it to a vote, simply because I can foresee arguments and such if there are 2-3 hotly contested logos. But I will take into account your feedback in choosing the right one.
1) Entry from nak:

2) Entry from ice_blockie (note that the background is perfectly transparent):

droodles submit yours we'll all vote for u
note: "we" is only certain for myself atm xD
PS i'm being serious, i think droodle's logo is catchy and plainly smart and cool. moreso it reflects the spirit that we need, where quality (content quality as well as the individual creativity that makes us stand out) is more important than flashy presentation (and such attitude is also required for success)
-
... >_> Please, serious submissions only.
-
I hope you don't moderate entries on your own volition...let the people speak!
-
If it's clearly a joke, I.E. droodles' entry, then I'm not putting it up. But any serious attempt will make it to this post.

This has quite a bit of merit behind it - I like this idea. It also has an aura of community (doesn't feel pretentious and formal), but I'll consider the other ones too of course!
-
I'm not denying it isn't clever, I had quite a bit of lol myself looking at it. I would just like a more professional bit of work is all.
-
guys it's just a parody of applexy's failure relax.
BUT OK LETS ROCK AND OR ROLL
ill make something different tomorrow, not this.
-
Love the signature
-
Yeh, the signature is not bad..
-
is there any size requirements? or are any logos required?
-
i cbf now, logo looks fine. no need to change
-
are we able to submit multiple entries?
-
are we able to submit multiple entries?
Sure, why not? The goal is to get a good logo, that means we want as many options as possible.
-
What coblin said. Nak, I received your first entry and will put it up ASAP.
-
NEW entries (see main post). Personally, I think nak's isn't quite what I'm looking for. I am quite impressed by ice_blockie's effort, though, and would like some feedback from you guys on it.
-
I really like the second logo...
The first one was alright
-
Are the symbols in ice_blockies just for looks, or do they mean somthing?
-
aesthetics, I assume
-
well the coloured squares are meant to be flashcards...you know those cue cards things or sticky notes...coz when i thought of 'notes' i thought of post it notes which i use a lot....the circle circle dot dot stuff it just a diagram about thinking ie connected ideas...related to study...so yeah...blah ....(runs away into obscurity)
-
cant we just add our submissions directly here?
-
i'd be interested in entering a logo, just need to what dimensions will the logo need to be in pixels (e.g. long horizontal, square)
-
...add ... submissions directly here...
OK

-
Yeah, much better than my attempts, Kudos :) Srsly, that's one sexy logo :D
wait a minute... has reg deleted his a/c? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo why?
-
Well now who the fuck do i credit for that submission? I was probably gonna pick that one :( It was either that, or the spiffy one by ice_blockie. >_>
-
LOL
He makes the winning logo and then deletes his account. *sigh*
-
here's another entry...
EDIT: To prevent confusion I'm calling this the ATOM LOGO!!!
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/VCE_logo.png[/img]
or without shadow...[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/1_logo.png[/img]
although i still my like my first the best :)
-
I... really like the 2nd one.
-
I'm in love with the first one.
-
Wait, ice_blockie's first one?
-
Sorry.
I meant the first example of the second contribution.
-
Uh, the shadow is kind of annoying, don't you think?
-
2nd one no reflection
-
which one? lol...
anyway my last entry for the whole comp...
EDIT: These are called the PAPER LOGOs!!!
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/more_logo1.png[/img]
and alternative
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/more_logo2.png[/img]
shadow can be removed...example shown below
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/more_logo3.png[/img]
okay...enough posting of logos...kthanxbye
-
i like the shadow when it appears on a white background:
EDIT: These are called the umm...SHADOW LOGO lol
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/3/example.png[/img]
but it seems that you guys dont..my one with no shadow...okay here it is for you to inspect and have a look at the difference:
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/more_logo4.png[/img]
what do you think?
EDIT: Wait...CONFUSION...Sorry Argh..I'm so confused...which ONE do you guys like lol....
-
btw...when are you going to pick one enwiabe lol :D?
-
ice_blockie, wow, great work mate! I really liked both your ATOM and PAPER Logos. Simple but elegant.good stuff.
-
Hey guys...I gave each logo a name so you can refer to them without confusing them.
First Contribution: The one with circles and four multicolored cards is called the Shadow LOGO
Second Contribution: The one with paper in the background and circles of colours around the V is called the ATOM LOGO
Third contribution: The simple one with bits of paper texts is called the PAPER LOGO...
these are all sriously really corny names but the point is to stop confusion so yeah...
-
ok... i sent enwiabe my submissions earlier but not posted yet... so might as well post it here :P
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/note.png[/img]
and
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/notecoffee.png[/img]
-
i made my logo entire logo transparent because it gives it a paper feel, so when you put it on top of words, images or backgrounds, you can see though it abit just like a piece of paper :D
-
ice_blockie i like your atam logo, very cool!
naks is also cool
-
ok... i sent enwiabe my submissions earlier but not posted yet... so might as well post it here :P
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/note.png[/img]
and
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/notecoffee.png[/img]
hahaha that was exactly what i was thinking of doing, but i'm glad you saved me the effort. looks great, like the coffee spot just needs the text a little more bold or of larger size to stand out i think to be perfect.
-
They're all pretty good... I think it might just be best to hold a poll and leave it up to public opinion. I wasn't actually expecting to get this many submissions of such high quality. :P
-
Wow. I like nak's one. They are all really good in fact. When will the poll be held?
-
The one with the coffee stain is awesome. It feels more teenager-y, rather than einstein-y. And I think the majority of VCE students are teenagers.
-
I like nak's one. But imho, it really doesn't blend, I dunno, it just doesn't seem like a logo. A banner, yeah, but not a logo.
But on the other hand, ice_blockie has done some great work :D
-
I think they're all brilliant. It's going to be very difficult to make a choice.
-
That's why I'm leaving it up to you guys! *absolves self of responsibility*
I'll hold the poll tomorrow. :)
-
But look, you left it open a few days and the quality of the logo has gone up so much. Leave it open a couple more so a few more people can have a shot?
(http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/2/vcenotes.png)
(http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/3/vcenotes.png)
da navy blue is the same navy blue as the smf theme bold text
(ofc can have a lame quip like "THE ONLY REAL VCE COMMUNITY")
-
I... really like the 2nd one.
Me too! And I love reg's submission (probably the 1st one, but the 2nd one is classy too!)
-
i like =] though i wud be careful about using vcaa's logo

It is a question of time, however. I would like to get the logo going with the launch of the main site and to put on the flyers I'll be producing.
-
Also reg, the text you have there sound like the keywords I put in for ad and google searches. :P I'll think up a good slogan for the site for you to replace it with.
-
Reg's latest entry is very nice. It's exactly the 'classy' I was referring to. The text quite frankly though is very simplistic and boring. I would go with something a little bit more 'clever' like some nice proverb or a nice slogan. Also you might wanna make it a little bigger? it seems a tad too small to me as a logo... :/
-
best one: (http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/32/logo.png)
-
Yeah, brendan, that was one of the ones I was leaning towards.
-
pity i plagarised the hat from http://www.antistudy.com/!
i vote 4 droodles sig
plz give more time to submit legitimate entries kek

LOL IM SO SORRY im artistically retarded :(
-
So I thought maybe the logo could change as you enter different sub-forums.
(http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7889/50764380gk5.jpg)
Maths one
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/2631/22333236lv6.jpg)
English or Lit
I took a minimal approach
-
You two have made really nice attempts! I think the bookshelf one should have "vce notes" in blue though, or some other colour because it's not that visible.
Oh, and that's a good idea droodles, but I'm not sure if all these logos could adapt to the layout.
-
I still like reg's and ice_blokie's one :)
-
fuck layout, I DO WHATEVER
-
i still think this one is the best XD
(http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/32/logo.png)
-
okay, im sorry i just to add another logo....the latest logo is of web 2.0 influence (for all you web and graphics know it all) and it is one of my best work....
hope you like it...
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/web2logo.png[/img]
and as always colour and size can be modified...(sorry about how big it is)
-
i like the way you did "vce" and "notes" but i don't think the brackets are necessary nor the "supporting success". I think if you combine ur logo with my recommendations with reg's academic hat thingy then it would be good http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/32/logo.png
-
oh i very much like ice_blockie's latest one, though i personally do like all of it apart from the lameness of the slogan :p.
i still think this one is the best XD
cant use it cos the hat is plagarised lolz
-
well heres the alternative with brendan's suggestions BUT as reg said the hat logo is copyright so i wont be using that.
so heres the one without the brackets and without the corny slogan...
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/revised_logo.png[/img]
any suggestions for a pic above the words??? or more suggestions :)
-
That's a nice submission. I think we should start shortlisting these down to a few, and then discuss slight variations. You guys are awesome, thanks for the hard work you've put in to it!
-

who cares.. just add a line and a dot here and there and now its something new :P used their idea but it's not the exact same logo :D
-
ye but it makes the community look cheap and unoriginal if we rip off other websites lolllll (somebody is bound to notice)
edit: s/looks/makes/
-
1. so where is enwiabe when we need him...to start the poll!!!!....
OR should we just shortlist them ourselves???...he did say he absolved himself of responsibility...
-

I love this one ^_^ probably needs that hat though... but otherwise this one is my fav =)
-
Can someone create their own hat, so we're not plagiarizing.
-
its pretty hard to freehand.. unless we just do one in paint :P looks cheap but its ought to catch people's eyes
-
Isn't there a certain amount of alteration that can be achieved so that an image is not now a plagiarism or in breach of copyright?

both look pretty terribad, new ideas gogo
-
... Yeah, I'm gonna leave this open for a few more days. I am so impressed with this... seriously, thank you all for the tough decision. I think I'll set an official date for WEDNESDAY the 6th of February as the deadline before I start the poll. (Yes, it will be after the site goes live but experience tells me that quality of logo increases with more time allowed :P)
Daaaaaamn, you guys are awesome at this.
-
Yes, some of these logos are just amazing.
(I am so noob at creating logos and graphics)
-
Number two does not stick to the guidelines. It reads "VCE notes" when the first guideline states "It MUST display the words "VCE Notes" in that exact capitalisation in some form."
EDIT: There are also others. I'm not just picking on the one person. ;) Just wanted to clear that up.
-
Nice reg that looks awesome - I had a crack myself
(http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9782/vcenotes2pp6.png)
-
Wow... Nice work guys! I love all of them so far ;D
LOL IM SO SORRY im artistically retarded :(
If you think you're artistically retarded, you have no idea :P
-
latest development: real logo...weee called CIRCLE LOGO
EDIT: Logo has been majorly resized. See new post below.
-
this is going to be tough they're all good :D
-
So when is the poll to decide which logo to use?
-
That one is much too big. The poll is coming tomorrow.
-

They can be resized without losing much definition with a little html, it's better to have them that large at development stage
-
Can someone create their own hat, so we're not plagiarizing.
everyone plagiarizes the YouTube logo but they don't care
-
This the new logo resized. I know everyone loves the hat...lol im planning...and i came up with this in the mean time okay!!!...
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/2/small.png[/img]
-
I really like that ice_blockie! :D
-
i hate to be picky... but, can you make the VCE Notes capitalisation more noticeable? If it looks worse we'll go the other one, I just wanna see if it looks better.
-
Reg's one is the best .
-
Change of capitalisation:
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/121.png[/img]
-
o i very much like that
dislike the caps though, i much prefer single case single size
wtf is the point in havin capitalization anyway, its not like anybody reads it vc enotes or whatever.
-
Creative burst of hopeful genius! Take that image, but cut it. Put VCE on the top, the notes logo in the middle under it and Notes under that. Like this:
VCE
(LOGO)
NOTES
-
what? vc enotes - was that the point?!
*slow*
-

Umm...okay...im not sure what your trying to do...do you want the words small and the logo big or the words big and the logo small? There are many ways to do what you said and plainly cut and paste doesnt look too flash...ill do it in a mo though...
-
Just keep everything in the same proportions.
-
Below left is what you want enwiabe...and another alternative is below right...
[img]http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/0/change.png[/img]
-
I've gotta say, I reckon we should just vote on whichever those two people like best. Because they look snazzzzy.
-
#2 etc
make poll
-
So are we gonna have a poll anytime soon? :P...

I like that one, I think the capitalisation looks better:)
