Well I'm not good at drawing cartoons or people, but I'll see what I can do

[bobbobicus]

It doesn't have to be what i said, there is free range to do anything you want really.

"but feel free to use/do anything." is what I said.

Please feel free to do whatever comes to mind, i am fairly open about the logo.

Thanks

As someone who has been through lot of contests, Id sugest you dont make such long contests...
In a lets say 7-10 days contest youll get equal numbers of entries...
This way, everyone will wait the 7 last days then submit something...
And designers can provide you with an awesome logos in a day or two, and noone wants to wait a month for something

No offense or anything, just my humble opinion

P.S. Ill probably wait till the last couple of days first entrants never win

Competition ends when there are new updates due to be released for the site hense us doing it this way

[legendaryfox]

Hey zymurgy, just curious, is the link you provided to (best-insults.com/beta) the *new* layout it's going to be like? because it looks the same as the one on best-insults.com...don't wanna be designing for the wrong layout, cuz you said you had a new layout going...

[bobbobicus]

sorry, should have said, new layout was released yesterday. apologies.

[bÆko]

count me in.

[bÆko]

a couple of ideas.. more sketches than logos as it is now, but if this is not at all what you're looking for - in this direction, please let me know.

I like the concept of the bottoms ones, however, you cant see the word insults and as this is part of the sites name i would require it to be seen. Great start though.

I like it, symbolizes the "best" part of the name more, thats great

also coincides with an idea for an update sometime this year so could be a possible there

again, great start. I am quite pleased with the ideas that are coming out so far and look forward to sitting down with the rest of the team of best-insults and picking the final design.

I know there is a while to wait yet, but i could end the competition earlier and it wont matter because the logo wont be added till the updates released on the 28th of Feb.
