*****ShoeBox Logo Contest!!!! ******

[AGD]

AO,

Because you have done such a great job in the past, I am once again coming to you to create the logo for my latest creation. I am looking for a logo that incorporates the name ShoeBox with the word Compressor optional. I need something that can reproduce on a black and white printer or t-shirt and still look good so don't get too fancy. Something that represents its small size is encouraged. It would be nice to be able to read it from a distance. Adding "4500 psi" is also ok.

The winner will get a compressor FOR FREE!

Post your entries IN THIS THREAD in a small format but do the original design in at least 2000x2000 pixels or better.

Now for the legal stuff. ALL entries become the property of Technicor Industries. If we use your logo we will give you a compressor as complete and final payment for the logo. You agree to relinquish all rights to the design. If two people submit the same logo, the first entry will be the winner so get them in FAST. Must be a US citizen over 18 to enter or have your legal guardian ok your entry. The winner will be notified in this thread. No drinking, smoking or loitering on premises, lurid behavior will be dealt with under maxim penalty of law.... yada, yada

Good luck!!

Something simple like this?

[Beemer]

One more thing..........DONT edit your post if you submit an entry. If you make a change make a new post and refer to your original post. :cheers:

[xero28]

How final do you need the entry to be. I mean, can we submit a "draft" to get out idea out to you first and then submit a "final"?

[AGD]

Yes you can submit a draft but winning will be dependent on you coming up with a final first. If we like it I will ask you to do a complete workup before we make the final decision.

AGD

[xero28]

Thank you Tom. With that, I'd like to submit my first draft. Please note, this was a 10 minute exercise, a more complete version, can/will be produced. Thank you for your consideration.

Just an FYI for anyone designing a logo, you want to be aware of any copyright issues. This means don't use any images you find via google images and the like.

There are a few good free stock image sites out there that should be accomodating.

[p8ntballin007]

My humble CAD skills. I would need to do a final in photoshop to get the desired resolution, and shading affects.

<a href="http://s982.photobucket.com/albums/ae309/rreines/Random%20Stuff/?action=view&current=logo.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae309/rreines/Random%20Stuff/logo.jpg" border="0" alt="shoebox logo"></a>

[AGD]

FYI we are also looking for a stylized version of the word "ShoeBox". That could be the logo by itself.

AGD

[Arstron]

I kept the design pretty simple, the first one is a plain vector and the second I simply added some bevels in photoshop. Nothing fancy, but your able to use it on anything. I can supply these files in any format you want. I also could give you a pretty good deal on stickers, banners, what ever if needed. :hail:

I read this post late last night.. thumbed up a few ideas.. and came up with this. "ShoeBox" is designed with my own font, so no worries about being sued. The other font is Orator, which is a default font in a particular program. Royalty free baby. This is a vector file, so print size can be infinite. I added the (R) marker as a place holder. Color can be added later and what not. I still have some ideas brewing in my head. Comments and feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. :cheers:

I was thinking along the lines of this font too. The only thing I was going to add was

"4.5Kompressor" as a german car knock-off. ;)

When is the deadline?

Also just to clarify, you’re looking for “final” artwork not just concepts, correct?

[fishmishin]

Second submission:

Instead of shoes, use tanks sticking out the box, like with the tank and the reg itself barely sticking out. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm thinking that the "laces" will be fill hoses, maybe throw a couple of gauges on there.

Definitely like this one best so far....it is easily transferable to different items such as t-shirts or larger advertisements. Simple and yet still looks pretty cool. Good work.

Definitely my favorite so far. Simple, sleek, attractive, and would go on anything.

"4.5Kompressor" as a german car knock-off. ;)[/QUOTE]

hehe, that thought also crossed my mind. But I wanted to keep the aspect of it being made in the USA. (unless im totally wrong..)

@ sslecyk03 and 3migo - Thanks guys! By chance did ya notice the other design feature of "shoebox"? Its 6 sided. If folded, it would make a box. :ninja:

I have no imagination, so I'll just vote for this one. I like the crossword puzzle feel. Hope you win.

recommend adding a notch on the right hand side of the B? it looks like an 8 right now.

looks sweet though.

option 2:

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x57/smoothice15/forum%20pics/shoebox2.jpg

I have a few buddies who are great with illustrator. If either of mine are selected I will have them turn these into vector art.

Does Technicor have a logo? If so I would add that to the bottle on the side of the box.

[Smoothice]

option 3:

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x57/smoothice15/forum%20pics/shoebox3.jpg

With a picture of the actual compressor I could make the picture look more like it. Also I could add some more stuff on top of the boxes or remove it. Just trying to make it fun and give people a sense of size.

Not my prettiest work, but a quick pass. OMG why is it coming in so huge?

[luke]

Just a note, I think the name “Shoebox” and the word “Personal” indicate its small size.

Ive started to just nitpick on this design, but I think I like where it is right now. On a side note, I came up with another name for this thing: MiniComp45 or Mini45, but as it turns out, a Mini45 is a Mini 45 Pistol.

I (actually do) work for branding and corporate identity, so I'm really getting a kick out of a lot of these replies.

Really? It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It's probably the best drawing I've ever done.

Paint it however you like, do you think the hexagon and logo lettering style was a coincidence in my drawing?

[doc_Zox]

the Olde skool AGD Automag logo has huge slab serifs and really tight kerning pairs

Tom prolly doesn't want the logo to be too AGD but I had the automag file from 3 years back...

[nobloodloss]

Tom, if you call your new air compressor FUSPUCTT, I would buy one.

[FHC_WidowMaker]

so no canadians then?

I had a really sweet logo drawn up of TK putting a big pile of Shockers in a car crusher, then I realized that wasn't what this contest was about. :(

I think you should put the Technicor Ind on the logo under the "BOX" area. ShoeBox and under the OX of box put "by Technicor Industries"

Or under the Shoe part..

Hey DM,

Ive been fiddling with that option aswell. I really like how Technicor Ind. looks. I originally had it that way, but the type I think, just became too small to read. After looking back into this version, Im starting to think the text is standing apart from the actual logo. Im currently trying to combine the two via positive/negative space and shapes.
BTW, anyone happen to know the face plate dimensions? This way, I know how small the type can be. Thanks to everyone for the comments and feedbacks.
(Im sick right now, and have nothing else much to do..)
