dear competitors,

while designing your ideas please also pay attention to the fact, that the logo should also be clearly visible/recognizable in lower sizes (e.g. the sitepoint-preview size of 120x90 pixels).

thanks for your attention and all the fine entries yet!

hello again all you great designers,

as it was not totally clear, please pay attention to the following: the emphasis of TalentRun is "singing and competition" and NOT "listening to music", so please no more headphones! ;)

considering all the great entries i would like you to concentrate on following ideas:

- an included (hint of a) micro as an icon and no (or little) other musical elements like notes etc.
- preferaby Talent & Run colorly separated
- maybe a little runner (with a mic?)

thanks a lot and keep 'em coming! ;)

hi everybody,

thanks for all the great entries so far! as we seem to get too much entries with focus on our ideas of a music emphasis let me concretize some things we like you to create:

we are looking for a web2.0ish logo (e.g. wazap.com or skype.com) that MAY include one or two of various musical/songcontest/karaoke items/aspects listed below:

- Preferably (a hint of) a microphone
- maybe small runner(s) similar to e.g. the AOL-runners

also a possbility, but DON'T let these thoughts of logo-elements narrow your imagination:
- Loudspeakers on either side of the text
- Text a top of music notes
- Text written as a sound wave
- Text in stage spotlight
- Treble and bass clefs
- Headphones wrapped around text/logo

thanks for your attention and eagerly awaiting more of your great work,

benni

excellent, i'm anxious to see all your great entries!
