Slingshot - $200 - May 31st

Forum Username: Nek

Type Of Contest: Logo Design

Contest Title: SlingShot

Contest Deadline: May 31, 2009

Prize Amount: $200

I have a brand new, patented product, soon to go to market. It is called the SlingShot, and it is a tall (3") shotglass you wear around your neck. Based on the nature of this item, I am looking for a fun, exciting and dynamic logo (possible cartoonish), which would be relatively simple and clean to reproduce on my website and literature. I do not wish to promote irresponsible drinking with the logo, but do see the Slingshot as becoming the next big bar and nightclub craze.

I received this from the CH:

Can you add this, including the attachment, to the SlingShot post??

"Well, Ill make it easier. Attached is an idea I like, pencil sketched it myself. As you can see the shotglass forms the "t", as the ears which form the cross of the "t" are used to attach the string.

I just need help with final touches, lettering/style and colors."

Hello

Thank you.

Whew, I started getting a complex.

The good news is, you pegged the look of the glass, and the tilting of the lettering. Is it possible to see the glass hanging from the "g", possibly tilting a bit like the existing "t" with the liquid inside splashing around a bit???

I think I prefer the lettering in sample "a" without the bordering.

Great start!!!!

Thanks

Thank you.

The glass is more cylindrical as depicted by nhr. Still like the letter plain without any background.

Also, is it posssible to have the string look more like a string instead of a "bucket handle?"

Thank you very much for the feedback More splash inside glass will ruin "t" I think ( after some experiments )

So, my suggestion is this design:

Daphne, we really like your lettering and the string on your glass is awesome. We like the lettering style, maybe just slant them in different directions a bit. Like the way the glass stands out.

Nhr--Love the look of the glass (is there a way to make it "pop"??). Anyway to make the string look more like a string?? Also, the slanting on the lettering is perfect, although looks too blocky (if that is such a word) and my eye is drawn immediately to the very large "o" in Shot.

We are very, very close.

Thanks.

My revision coming later today. Thank you.

Daphne, great!!

Not liking the bubbles (looks like we might be drinking acid). If you could show 'movement' to the glass, you are there.

OK, thanks to all.

From the bottom up.....Daphne, you are there.

Vovikus.....Dont really like the uniform letters or the style for the glass/string.

Illumina....Like the colors, not really the style of the letters. Glass is a bit lost and hard to make out, but do like the way it looks like it is coming towards you.

NHR....everything is good except for the style of the letters. Looks a bit elongated, but we like the glass, and tilt of the lettering.

Thanks again, this is probably the last round of constructive criticism.

Thanks Illumina, we really would like the lettering less uniform and more odd shaped and slanted.
