[02/01 11AM New Poll] DDMS Redesign Branding - Help us choose A Logo

[aygart]

a prize would be nice (you can exclude DDF mods if you'd like, I don't have an eye for design anyway )

The designer should definitely be paid for his/her work.

[Abebee]

So far 2 takes the cake, but a contest would be nice

[MeirS]

I'll echo what others wrote:
1. All three are - no offense - fugly, even the existing (DD back to back) is better than those.
2. There should be a none-of-the-above option in the poll. 1 and 3 definitely resemble beatz
3. There should be a contest with DDMS voting, a prize would be nice (you can exclude DDF mods if you'd like, I don't have an eye for design anyway )
4. Is DDMS getting a facelift as well? Very exciting!
5. What's the full scoop on the legality of the apostrophe?

Doesn't your brother do design/web design?

Lol, I haven't seen any of these logos or slogans until right now.
Not a fan of any, so you don't have much to worry about.

Since when do you have a say in this?

I do have to agree that both options 1 and 3 are quite similar to the beats logo. A contest would probably yield the most creativity being that it is from a group rather than an individual. Maybe a contest for a slogan would work too?

[Something Fishy]

We already had a contest (or discussion?) about a new slogan, IIRC there was weed involved.

Glad there's consideration for a new site (also happy to see pictures recently). Much hatzlacha.

In short you can't trademark the word deals. Gets complicated past that.

Even a supplemental register?

Of course you can't register common words.

[Yammer]

Of course you can't register common words.

I was referring to the words Dansdeals. Is the issue that the term Dansdeals is discriptive? I've gotten approved with such an issue for a supplemental register.

I agree with you guys about a Design Contest, I think it's a great idea (I would obviously be excluded from it)

Just some ideas I sketched last week:

Why the new color?

[Mordyk]

Why the new color?

+1. Its hurting my eyes

[as2]

Color is the easy thing to change. I like those designs. Particularly column 3 row 2

[Yammer]

Why the new color?

It's called change.

+1. Its hurting my eyes

That does happen sometimes...

[aygart]

Why only green?

[Suave]

Why only green?

Right now the entire new design is green (although I personally prefer blue) because I think it will be easiest for users to get used to the new design based on there being lots of green in the old design....

Just some ideas I sketched last week:

Why not think about what the site is about, and try to convey that (to a certain extent, without creating too much clutter) with the logo, rather than just the name?
