Logo contest: Elon Summer Storage

Welcome to LogoArena

Here are some helpful tips for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses.

1. Rank design entries daily, this will encourage participation. It is non-monetary means of showing appreciation for the Designers' hard work.
2. The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see (you can do so by clicking on the logo you want to give feedback to). It will also guide the designers in the right direction.
3. Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
4. Designers earn points for top 10 ranked designs. We recommend ranking different designers for top ranks, It encourages more participation.

The LogoArena design community wants you to get the best possible logo for your business.

Thanks for using LogoArena.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted a design so far!! They all look great, and we are very appreciative of the effort!

Based on these submissions, we have the following general feedback:

1. Let's see if we can get a little more sleek and sophisticated with the overall feel of the logo. Too simple communicates cheap or budget branding in our opinion. We don't want to come across as simple in that way. We want to come across as simple, as in easy to use and efficient, and premium. Like Apple or BMW.

2. Maybe just a little more playful, too, since we're dealing with college students--primarily females. Something eye-catching. It has to grab your attention. We aren't dealing with subtle branding.

3. We need to do better at communicating what we actually do (pick up items for summer storage and re-deliver) in the logo. So any kind of images or designs that communicate the service of delivering bins, and picking up stuff for storage might be a winner.

4. we have some initial pages up for our website...it's very incomplete but it gives you an idea of how we'll engage our target markets: www.elonsummerstorage.com

THANK YOU ALL! The designs look great so far, but this is our 6th logo arena competition we've hosted for our businesses! We know they just get better and better. You all are a great group of designers, and we are so happy to get to do this again!

Another bit of feedback--Elon University is predominantly female--so if we can, may we try and make the designs a bit more feminine? Not GIRLY, but feminine...they are all very hard lined and striaght-forward--which is good--we've been asking for that--but something in the feminine way is missing.

A few additional general comments:

1. We do not want any submissions with the "ESS" any longer. While it is an abbreviation of our business name, we do not use it to market or advertise. Also it wants space/opportunity in the logo to communicate more of what we actually do. We want to do as best a job as possible in the logo communicating what kind of service we provide :)

2. Visit www.storabin.com. This is our other business, and we use the same bins and process to provide the storage service to college students. The summer storage is a version of the storabin service.

3. Visit www.elonsummerstorage.com. We have some preliminary web-design done, and you can see how the site looks, so you can imagine what kinds of logo designs would look best on that site :)

Thank you all so much for your submissions so far. They all look really great, and we feel very lucky to have such talented designers submitting work!

Looking forward to more submissions!
