Logo Contest Round 1

yuris-night

Well, the weekend is here and I hope your weekends, gigs, get-togethers, BBq’s and so on go bananas. Two points of business we must manage before I take the weekend off myself to play a gig in San Diego.

First, There is a cool event in SF this weekend that is all about hi-tek futuristic music concepts, a subject we are all certainly very fond of. Plus its held in some sort of a NASA research center, so that alone makes it fairly cool. Its called Yuri’s Night and our friend Peter Kirn from CDM will be there judging the Futuristic Music Controller event.

Next, the Logo contest: check bellow for the final submissions and vote in the forum on your favorite.

Big props to all of you that took some time out of your weeks to put something together. I really enjoyed seeing every-ones take on what dj tech tools represents for them. It was very cool and we hope to find more ways to continue and involve you in the future.

Vote for your favorite in the forum :

    I love the 1st one…its a killer, the rest are more like playing to Founts. THe 1 is a real Log.

  • Bruno

    Danm the 1st one is great love the heads…..

    Perhaps I am crazy but I think I have seen that image (#1) in another place- on another logo? any ideas?

  • Nonulio

    I vote for logo #1

  • rBob

    I must be crazy, but #1 looks pretty dull. It's either 4 or 6 in my book.

  • http://www.myspace.com/djnunas Nunas

    Am I allowed to vote for my design? anyway If I'm, I would like to first congratulate designer 4 and 6 but I still vote for mine #1.

    Now Ean Gold, you're right it looks like you've seen somewhere because I've use common design tools that are very catchy to the human eye. Sillhouettes , repetition and headphones is nothing new but the way I've put it together was my vision.

    Cheers everyone

    I vote for logo #1

    All day. Take it and run Ean.

  • RJW

    I like 6 best apart from the knobs. but 4's also good – def easier to read from a distance. 1 reminds me of an apple logo for some reason, its very i-DJtechTools lol

  • http://www.bluegrassbeat.com DJ MoRice

    #1 for me.

  • MD

    # 6 please.

  • http://www.eangolden.com Ean Golden

    # 6 please.

    make sure you vote in the forum! thats where the votes will be counted

  • Jungelist

    I think #4 is pretty good. But there is something about #1 that i like more. Maybye it's the use of symbolism. Why don't you flip the logo horizontally, so that the heads becomes a "D" and the headphones becomes a "J". Or is that to obvious?

  • Anonymous

    vote number 1

  • DJ Pep

    Number 4 looks good….my number 2 pic is number 6

  • http://www.thefacebook.com Jackson

    I think #4 is ok, but in my opinion a dj techtools logo should be more expressive — I think #1 is the best logo

  • lyndon

    i'll preface this by saying that i'm a working designer in the bay area…this is what i do for a living. seems like a lot of people like #1. i personally dislike it. first, the type work is shoddy. looks like the designer didn't really think about the placement or typeface. i don't understand the inner heads (outlined and solid). they feel useless and just trip with my eyes. compositionally, it's awkward. and frankly, it's drab—it's a washed up concept (napster, ipod, ijigg, etc). i'd like to see djtechtools with an identity that emphasizes how they stand out from the rest of the crowd, not one that employs the already overused headphone silhouette to brand. i DO, however, like it's black/white scheme (it encourages the "tech" in djtechtools) and the rounded corners are a nice touch.

    i feel like #3 and #4 would be the most easily implemented on this site (look/feel). with the better colour scheme, number 3 is easily the most solid contender in my mind. #4 has the ultra-techy (almost nerdy) appeal, but #3 feels like the correct identity. if #1 wins, i would encourage djtechtools and the designer to take the identity a few more rounds before implementation.

    best.

  • will davis

    # 4 is the cleanest and would go great with this site. number 6 is also really good between the two i would go with number 4

  • Danilo Nhantas

    The 1st one is the best by quite a stretch. Number 1.

  • http://www.digiboy digiboy

    I think the #1's designer have lot of friends :)

    but it is ugly. And is the #7 a joke?

    #4 is the best. The more professional.

  • http://www.designs24seven.com PEDRO

    i go for number 1

    its more professional and says allot

  • dthree

    I wanted to enter but didn't have enough time to work on it. That said, I'll pick #4 because it's the one that I wish I had designed.

  • aiden

    I was gonna stay out of this cuz i dont love any of them. But, i definately dislike #1. I still think the original is the best!

  • Lewdlesion

    As another graphic designer, I have to agree with Lyndon's argument.

    #3 is by far the most appropriate for the identity of this site.

    #6 looks like the cover of some a campy horror film with a killer DJ involved!

  • http://www.eangolden.com Ean Golden

    Wow, thanks for all the feedback guys. Although its certainly impossible to please every persons taste we firmly believe that this is a collective site so your opinions about how its represented are valued. We are working on some ways to get funding to improve the situation around here including hiring a bad ass team to really hunker down and create the perfect logo. For now it looks like number 4 might be the winner for temp logo, we will be sending out a winners package to the runner up as well though.

    It reminds me of the Institubes records logo. I still like it though.

  • Javier aka Einsamer

    hmm…. no doubt number 4 is the cleanest.

    vote for number 4.

    anyways… like number 1's logo, not the letters.

    why don't combine 1 and 4 ?

  • Javier aka Einsamer

    could be something like this:

    I’ve got an idea for a disk inside the head of a spanner (or wrench depending on your location), but no time to work it up right now. Give me a week.

    I like the first one, but have seen something similar before.

  • zAzi

    can i bring up any more logos for the Contest??
