I'm liking #7, #1, & #5 so far.

#7 makes me see the . in TheFret.Net as a fretboard dot. I've never thought of that before. Maybe that could be made more explicit.

For example, TheFret.net could be the inlay on a fretboad, but that'd probably be too complicated.

You should have made sure that they include the word "amph" someplace :)

IM liking 12 to myself.

hey robert just wondering but how would one acquire picks and t-shirt once this contest is done.

T-shirt and picks are just suggestions at this point. Nothing has been decided yet. That will be the next step once the logo is chosen. Can't really say anymore than that at this point, because I do not know.

so, once all the designs are in, and posting ends, we vote on the logo?

Robert
July 8th, 2009, 11:34 AM
After the contest is closed, I will pick out the top 10 or so designs (based on my judgment), and ask the members on this forum to vote. The logo which gets the most votes is the winner!

I'm kinda diggin' #10. It's got that whole "James Bond" thing going on.

#8 is pretty sweet too.

Spudman
July 8th, 2009, 04:48 PM
#8 is my favorite so far. It works on light or dark backgrounds. With just 2 screens you have all the options covered.

I like the top section of #8 so far.

I like #8, too. Lots of good ones there, though. I'm really impressed by the overall quality of submissions....

There are some very nice submissions so far, and I expect the creative logos will continue to improve as this nears the deadline.

Interesting group of submissions so far. Some very nice stuff. Very "electric" oriented, which is representative of the group.

ibanezjunkie
July 9th, 2009, 01:18 PM
^^^ electric is probably best, since ive never heard of anyone on here playing exclusively acoustic guitars.

other than you, keel =]

right now I am liking the 12, 16, 17 thing myself. This is fun!

2 looks promising.

i think 'Serone' deserves a boobie prize for most ideas submitted/.

I'm diggin serones stuff either it be the ibanez or strat headstock.

ibanezjunkie
July 10th, 2009, 12:15 PM
half of his stuff has an ibanez headstock, and i think he realised that and switched to a strat headstock.

now im waiting for a les paul and a tele headstock to crop up.

evenkeel
July 10th, 2009, 07:08 PM
Good designs keep coming in. Serone certainly gets kudos for quantity.

#8 and #20 (sort of a variation of #8) are my favorites. Very strong, bold design that would translate to lots of different applications.

I like #7 because it sort of removes itself from the rest of teh pack while still keeping the theme. It is followed closely by #8.

Pongo

Lots of really nice choices on there.

Definitely the best group of "make a new logo for _____" I've seen on a web group.

currently leaning towards #21

The white one on #29 guys. I got the 3d effect of coming out of a pick. I like it. Just gotta erase the line across the thumb.

Monkus
July 12th, 2009, 08:06 PM
lol I got it now, my webpage background is grey so I highlighted it by mistake and.... voila !!!

about #29, is that a Gadd9 with an A....??? lol

and he's fretting it too high, its a wonder it sounds at all !!

If I had to wear one of those on a t-shirt, I would go for #14 Pongo's pick design (sans guitar neck). It has a nice retro quality about it which I like. I seem to have an aversion to anything with a neck or headstock printed on it.

ibanezjunkie
July 13th, 2009, 10:38 AM
#33 is just totally random :rotflmao:

i like #27 though.

contest ends in under 50 minutes.

based on the entries so far, whats the favorites?

sumitomo
July 14th, 2009, 07:18 PM
So when do we vote I when through and picked 6.Sumi:D

Pongo
July 14th, 2009, 07:36 PM
I like a bunch of them.

My favorites in no particular order
#8
#12 (I won't list the other variations of this one since they are all mostly the same)
#19 These would look good on the webpage,... they might get a bit small on a pick though.
I won't vote for my own, but I like those too! ;)

ibanezjunkie
July 15th, 2009, 02:21 AM
contest over!

61 entries.

"This contest has ended, the contest holder has 1 week, 6 days remaining to pick a winner or withdraw the contest."

i think 60 and 61 have some kind of retro quality to them.

#36 is an interesting concept: computer mouse = strat cable jack withe the mouse's wire the Dstring of the guitar. But overall it may be a bit busy.

I'm digging MRobert's stuff (eg #42). It would look cool on a shirt (or socks ;)).

#26 by HECA with the world map as guitar body is nice given the international appeal of this place.

Perfect Stranger
July 15th, 2009, 07:25 AM
I'd have to go with #46

Spudman
July 15th, 2009, 09:09 AM
So far all the logos by Smackdesign are what I like the best. They are clean and don't require more than 2 screens to produce to print.

July 15th, 2009, 10:46 AM
I think I like 21 the best.

Still in the running 61 and/or 60 get my nod.48,57 and another look very similar to 8 which is also still being considered.like 61 if I had to choose between 60 and 61-just my humble opinion
