Description

Dear designer,   

We would like your help in designing a simple character. The concept we are looking for is simple unique. For example, like twitter. http://goo.gl/D5rEM

We want a logo that is a person/character. Click on the link below to see our first draft.

This logo is the Chinese word for “ten thousand”. We do not like this logo. The problem is that this design is not unique. We would like you to design a person/character inspired by this Chinese word. When a person looks at your logo carefully, he or she may or may not recognize the Chinese word.  

For example,

We really like the sample logos below. We would like you to get inspiration from these five logos.

RGB (255, 255, 255) #ffffff

RGB (91, 196, 191) #5bc4bf 

RGB (244, 69, 38) # f44526 

RGB (251, 218, 75) # ffda4b   

FINAL DELIVERABLE: Adobe Illustrator (*.ai) file.    

Thank you in advance for taking on this project.     

Regards,

The TWD Team    

    

Further requirements

I really like design #113 & #142 . Then, I realized that if you turn the logo counter-clockwise 90 degrees, it spells the word, "OK". For example, see the attached file. Next, if you put a "1" in front of the "OK", it becomes the word, "10K" or 10,000. Our company believes that to learn something well, one must do it for a long time or do it for 10K hours.Therefore, I would like all of you to try to add a "line" on top of the "OK" and make the character look like "10K" when turned counter-clockwise 90 degrees. The designer who does this successfully, will be awarded the prize. I am so thankful to all of you for your efforts that I am guaranteeing the prize. Good luck and thank you again!
