I need a Logo!

[FromThatShop.com]

Hi all,

My website is nearing completion and I just cannot put together a design I like. So I need a logo for my website. My website is almost nearing completion and I just feel that a really well designed logo would set off the whole site.

The website is:

From That Shop

The website will be going live on the 29th of November, but ideally I would like the design completed asap.

The website will be stocking gadgets and toys.

My only brief for the logo is that it must fit into the colour scheme or use the colours on the website. It must also have a an emblem for branding that can be used as a favicon, letter head or on vehicle vinyls etc etc etc. Similar to how McDonalds have the M or Pizza Hut have the image of the hut as their logo. The logo must also represent what will be sold on the website.

I am willing to pay for anyones services. The person with the strongest CV gets the job. Although, if you were to post designs of the logo up here I will more than likely buy whatever I see if I like it, even from multiple different designers.

Once again the site is From That Shop

Can anyone help?

Please respond below.

Thanks a lot

Did you get my design? Let me know if you require my services.

Don't do that. You're giving away your work for free, and probably not putting as much time and effort into it as if you were working on a paid job. (If you are, you shouldn't be). If you've done logos before, show him those. If you haven't, do some for yourself.

It was just a quick low res example of what I could do for him if he hired me. I've got examples of logos on my website which I also gave him a link for.

I don't give my work away for free but I didn't see the harm in a quick example so he could see my style etc.

If I were being paid I would have put time and effort into it, although even without the time and effort I would have hoped to have recieved some kind of reply from him by now. It's mildly disheartening when you don't even get a "message recieved" or anything like that. Might as well be whistling into the wind.

But you wouldn't have given him something that you didn't like or you wouldn't have sent it in the first place. You might not have received a reply because you sent him an idea, if you know what I mean.

Yup that's true.

There's every possibility he's nicked my idea and ripped me off. But honest to god what can a guy do, I spend my days bidding for work on every freelance type site I can lay my hands on. Over and over again pitching for jobs amongst tens of hundreds of other artists desperately selling themselves out and uncutting each other in the hopes of maybe, MAYBE, one day, having someone turn round and actually HIRE you.

Sigh....

It's more than a little disheartening to say the least. Every day you have to pick yourself up again and think maybe if I trimmed a little off my quotes, maybe if I included a free sample...maybe, maybe, maybe...

But still nothing. Not a damn thing.
