I wish I had creativity for this. I might try something anyway though

You can tell Spenner has learned a little bit from 99designs.com lol.
I highly suggest visiting that site just to get a feel for what a business wants in a logo.

Don't have to be all that creative really...just take other peoples ideas and styles, and apply them to your own work. Sounds like cheating, but that's how art works.

I couldn't think of anything with an engine D:

"Hi this is Xtreme Engines. We're redoing our website and would like a new logo designed. We want something bright red and eye catching. We build big-block v8 engines, so maybe incorporate one of those into the logo as well."

edit: anyway, that should be easy to fix

This. For the majority of cases, being "inspired" by styles of other people's work, things around you etc. is what will get a design kickstarted, or at least will give your own personal style a kickstart. Until you start copying and exploring the subtleties of artwork better than yours, you might be kind of lost.

So yes, I recommend looking at some of those huge 99designs contests where there's hundreds of logos submitted, take as MUCH from it as you can. Judge for yourself why the good ones are good, why the bad ones are bad. Recognize what goes into a good logo.

(not that mine was the perfect logo by any means but it's something I would have been acceptable ~_~)

Think of major businesses. Mcdonalds. If you can make an entire corporate chain recognized with just a yellow M, that is an effective logo. You want an icon that right away tells you what the attached business is. You should be able to glance as a billboard while on the highway, see the logo, and remember what the company was, by the way it looked. Whenever possible, less is more. But think it through.

I'm no good at this stuff but my dad is. And he's pretty desperate for something to do I think. Would it be ok if I gave you his contact info? Here's his resume. And website. He's totally legit. (srs)

Re: Need a job? Artists wanted.

Website isn't working for me and a tip in advance for him: register a domain name. This link is way too long. People who have his business card or anything won't be bothered typing an url that long. Right now the only thing that comes up when I search for Servel Graphics on google is linkedin, and it links to a bunch of other sergio valesquez' as well.

edit: nvm it does work but it's slow as balls for me. Idk if it's like that for anyone else, but if it is, he should find a better place to host cause a normal client would've been like: Taking too long bye

Question:
What is our logo/trademark?
Who do I tell people I work for?

[Nullifidian]

Re: Need a job? Artists wanted.

tell em you're a freelancer?

[darkshark]

Re: Need a job? Artists wanted.

Yep, you're still a freelancer, you're just being supplied with overflow work by another person. If we all get this into a solid working machine, then we can talk about being a legit business. I do have a business license under "iCandi Digital" so you can tell people you work for that name if need be.

Re: Need a job? Artists wanted.

Few month old thread but are you still looking for people for this?

[darkshark]

Re: Need a job? Artists wanted.

Unless you know how to model in 3d really well, or do good web design. Don't need anyone for regular design.
