- Brief Summary
-
We are looking for a Logo that is Engaging and Welcoming. We want it to express a Fun, Hip, and Modern feel, with just the right amount of Retro infusion.
Our original ideas included: Font only, possible Neon sign usage, black and white color.
But as I have been watching and studying the site and all the contests, I have been so impressed with the submissions that I am choosing to keep any 'limitations' very light. I am Very interested in seeing any and all Creative (!) ideas. So please stretch and submit anything that "Feels" ...oh I don't know...Oddly Compelling.We hope to use the winning design for the storefront sign, all stationary, marketing, web, etc.
I will log in, rate, and give feedback everyday. I really hope to find a winner, because all the next steps to opening our business hinge on this decision!
So: 5 stars = Winner!
4 stars = getting SO close
3 stars = heading in the right direction
2 stars = an element could be developed
1 star = thank you for trying - Actions

Hello Everyone!
Here it is Saturday night already! Well after putting a lot of thought and consideration into all the designs, we have finally decided on a winner.
And the winner is...#67 by penflare!
But as I wrote and described in the above comments, I am SO thrilled with the results, that I would also like to award 4 "runners-up".

#126 by SMTI am very interested in using these winning entries also, for different marketing events, etc. So I would like to contact those designers for further options.
Once again, what a joy it was working with all of you. Best luck to each of you in your endeavors, and thank you for your participation in mine.
Be well,

WOW, I am overwhelmed by all the great people, with so much great talent! You have all done just wonderful and amazing things here. I truly had no idea how this would all turn out, and you all came, and conquered.
In fact you have all done so well, that I have completely reevaluated the how, where, and why I would be able to use so many great designs.
So with that in mind, I would like to award more than one "winner"! It is my understanding that the system currently only allows for one designated "winner", but I am hoping that I can have, and name several second and third place winners too. Again, it is my understanding that I am able to contact you individually regarding a private purchase of your design, and then I can add notes into mine and your comments section to allow for the acknowledgment of designing a winning piece.
The contest closes in just about an hour, and then my work really begins...the choosing! After the final choices have been made, I would like to contact those of you with (for lack of a better term) second/third rankings, and discuss the possible purchase of the design you submitted.
As a final note, I really and truly want to thank each and every one of you. This has been a wonderful, fun, exciting, exhaustive, and inspirational week. I ran to my computer everyday, excited to see what had come into the contest. And I was never disappointed. So Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...and I look forward to seeing you all down the road in another contest!
Be well,
SP.Dough -
