- Brief Summary
-
Atlas Lounge will opening in near future. We are looking for a logo that can not only be put on the outside of the entrance, but on the website, menus, flyers, and other forms to identify who we are and represent. Lounge doesn't need to be after it. Use your creativity. This will be for A level clientele who are trendy and on the move. Think Entourage meets Pussycat Dolls type of appeal.
Something that can be used in Miami, NY and LA.
After some thoughts, we're thinking possibly of a maroon/red/gold/black theme without a slogan/footer. And it can just be "Atlas" with a globe as well.
No cliparts please. Also feel free to submit logo's without taglines...
Update: fyi as of right now, we're leaning towards #24 and #118, but please continue to bring in the great ideas! thanks everyone!

"they aren't similar enough to be considered infringing copyright"
This is simply not true. They are way ahead of being not similiar enough, I know this from my own experience with registrating brands for customers. You need to know that you really have to pay attention in this case, because it's amazing how expensive this can be.
To be honest, i've done registrations with a globe spired design, quite close to your design and wanted it to be registered by the international trademark association. To do so, you need it to be authorized by a trademark lawyer who accredits that you don't touch incorporated trademarks - you know what, he didn't accredit it. Because of this http://blog.maxxxblack.com/wp-conte…ed_dot.jpg existing trademark...
The lucky thing about this was, that in comparison to a possible infringement of trademark and the costs of this, I got away very cheap with asking a lawyer.

Guys, please keep these discussions out of contests, it's becoming a real problem. There are similarities between the logos you mention, especially after some photoshopping (surprise, surprise), but at the end of the day, they aren't similar enough to be considered infringing copyright. Give it a rest, or at least keep it to PM please.
Just remember what these sorts of flame wars do to your professional credibility.

Elle Apple Inc. did win but at what cost, both sides bore huge legal fees and battles over the years. As
for this case here all I can say is good luck to the winner and host. The new designer is nice but your
portfolio piece could come back and haunt you as you pointing out ENTZ dirty laundry. So quick to attack
others when your in the spot light neuromancer. Don't think of me for you as or supporter or against you
as I am not a party of this! ~Bob -

@ neuromancer
You are welcome, I think your entry really deserved to win, that's why I stood up for it. The other proposal is in the same league, so congrats again! :) -

Well.. tried to be a good samaritan and that's what i get. Do whatever you like Neuromancer. Maybe you should convince the CH to use the winning logo then. My mistake in pointing it out. If it's so not different, we should all be convincing the CH to go for the winning logo. I'm all behind you Neuromancer. Let's all rally and push for this design!!
But wait! Why did you do a different design? i mean, if you are so convince it's that different, then you should go with your guts and push for it. Come on! i'll support you on this one.
And for the fendi thingy, the client wanted it to be like that. I've tried to reason with him, but it was his own sketch and i've just replicate it. So, i guess it's my mistake again. But thanks for pointing it out again.

maybe you should check faya's entries as well, its his alter ego. :)
For the record, I don't know neromancer, never noticed him around before this contest, but come on, 99.9% ?!?!? Its clearly an unfortunate coincidence, but coincidences occur, the 2 logos are not by far that similar. Bottom line, he entered a superb logo, its a well deserved winning. I looked closely this time, the shapes and colors are different, the arrangement is somewhat similar when you flip it, but that's not 50%, much less 99.9%. -

neuromancer, similarities occur yes. And there's a lot out there. But this one is 99.9% the same. If David R Kern decides to use the logo in monotone, it will be the same as the one you created with the seperation outlines and all. I'm not saying you cheated or anything. You already won the contest and i only saw this after you've won. Maybe is it conincidental, but it looks way too similar. Bob posted the 2 logos side by side, and do you see any difference? What if the other company decides to sue you and atlas lounge? Better be safe than to end in court. I maybe be wrong as well, let Atlas Lounge attourneys see if it's alright. It is really a nice logo. Sorry and keep up the good work!
Cheers!
Denis.
