With the contest to design the logo for Unintentional Entrepreneurs at a close, we’re pouring through the great logo submissions and pulling out a few of our favorites to show here.
Designer, Jim Valenti came to the event with a few idea from a take on our favorite potato to the various ways a tie becomes an accessory for new entrepreneurs. He strongly professes, “Everything produced with respect to a logo is the marketing for a business”. Ask Jim about choosing a logo design; he will tell you, “It is vital that you choose an identity system that properly represents your business so customers are able to make informed decisions about whether to deal with you or one of your competitors”
Tokyo artist and designer Kiona entered a minimalist and iconic approach. It was an vertical “un” “en” entry that first caught our attention; followed here by a horizontal presentation of the letters as the logo.
The fairly anonymous in_5_ide, who has nothing but a cute baby photo on their profile, went a few different directions with their entries. While the first few played with the “un” “en,” a popular theme, it was this very divergent submission that we thought worth sharing. The use of the entrepreneur’s “R” to create the logo, resulting in an almost lifelike icon.
dlogan22, who has picked up a few awards for his work, recognizes the ever working gears and creativity that goes with starting ones own company.
Finally, surprisingly only one entry paid homage to that honored paper signifying your forced departure from gainful employment. From 808, the “designer your art teacher warned you about,” we get a pink slip.
Stay tuned, we’ll announce our winning design shortly and feature the logo in a redesign of the site. If looking for a designer for a project of your own, check out the other great work from these artists and peruse other entrants for the Unintentional Entrepreneur.
