Who likes a challenge??
I have had enough!....
I have been working on a logo for Jemima Loves Big Ted for a loooooooooong, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time and I am totally at a loss. I hate each and every design that I have managed to come up with, and I think its now my turn to put it out there to you fellow designers to help me with it.
I am willing to pay, however having just finished being a student and not having loads of work right now, I am not rolling in it. Would saaaaay…. $100 be enough to tempt some people?
I am going to follow along the same sort of guidelines (and thanks for the inspiration Dan) of Tate in his quest for his look and that is -
1. I will choose my favourites from the submissions and put it to a public vote.
2. I may not decide to use any of the submissions, but if I do choose a logo that knocks my socks off I will pay the designer $100 cash or equivalent in any other form of currency or services (I am a great cook and love gardening, I even do lawn mowing)
3. You have until 23rd October to get your designs in (is that long enough?) After which voting, then choosing.
Inspiration – Ummmmmm….. Damn, I don’t feel particularly inspired right now and have been going over this for years so whatever you can come up with is probably better.
Colours – Not the biggest fan of pink, but will certainly allow it, if it looks UBER Cool within the design.
Note: It does not have to be a literal interpretation of my name.
If you need some more help with this, please bmail me with any questions you may have.
Have fun peeps!

Paul McClintock
Okay, first sketch… I went with literal…
jemimalovesbigted replied
oh my god that is so unbelievably gorgeous Paul!
jemimalovesbigted replied
I think you have scared everyone else from having a go at this Paul!! haha
Paul McClintock
I’d probably put it in a circle or something, and make the lines more solid to be more logo-ish. But essentially the idea is ‘what would Jemima and Big Ted look like in real life?’
Soxy Fleming
super cute Paul. How can anyone compete with that! (but I might have a go yet)
jemimalovesbigted replied
I think you should you are on a winning roll right now =D

Nick Ford
Now this is a challenge! Not sure what your after in the logo sense of things, i’m guessing you’ll want limited colours? ... but I’ll have dig!!!!
That sketch is killer Paul!
jemimalovesbigted replied
yeah something logo-ish is all I can give you… I like silhouettes…..? the problem is I don’t know what I want, I am the worlds worst client and I hate myself for it! I would be honoured if you gave it a whirl though Nick =D
