Title: Dart Logo Design, will pay $40
Post by: squirrellydw on December 18, 2006, 10:01:25 pm
I have a full size arcade dart board, a Super 6 Plus 2.  I am laminating it all black and I would like some sort of graphic on the front.  I will have a picture of it in a few days along with the dimensions.  Anyone wanna design a logo for me, I will pay $40 for the one I pick.

Oh, I would like red in it

Thanks

You say create a design but what exactly are you after?

A dart theme logo? or something completely different?

More info is required for people to have an idea of where to start.

Yeah, something that says darts and with some kind of logo, maybe darts, a dart board etc.  Maybe it could include a list of games.  I will have a picture of the dart board and the list of games later tonight.  My artistic ability sucks so i wanted to leave it to the pros.

The logo can be a max size of 24 1/2 inches wide by 25 1/2 inches tall.  I don't care if the games are listed or not.  The games are

301 open in/open out
count-up
tic tac darts
501 open in/open out
701 open in/double out
301 double in/double out
cricket standard
cut throat
team cricket

The picture below is what it looks like now, I am going to laminate the whole thing black.  I would like some red in the logo/design.  I know I am not paying that much so I have no idea what I will get if anything.  Feel free to show me some ideas and we can go from there.  The logo/design will go on the bottom below the coin door where it says ENGLISH MARK DARTS

What would you want it to say? Did you still want "English Mark Darts"?

Also, are you getting this printed somewhere? If so, what type of file would you need?

Here is a quick mock up. what do ya think is this the direction you want to go in? quality id downscaled due to making it jpg. all of this is vectorised.

I really don't know what it should say, I guess it really doesn't have to say anything.  No it doesn't have to say English Mark Darts.  I am going to get it printed at Mame Marquees.

I like the red a lot but not really what I am after.  I really don't know what I want but when I see it I will know.  Wish I could give you guys more direction but I can't.

I did this last night. Just started the concept basically. Let me know what you think.

The dart board was made freehand and not colored yet. I was going to make it the same as the one on the machine. There will also be lettering in red and black on the top.

You really do need to come up with some sort of an idea of what you want.

People are just guessing...which isnt really helpful.

My logo was just one idea....the next would be to put a dart through it....

Again, thats my idea....

Thats the problem, I don't know what I want but I want something.  Maybe one day I will see, tomorrow or next year.  I am in no rush, I just thought someone with artistic ability would be able to help.

Here's a somewhat "finished" version.

Cool. I can swap the black and red in the text if you're putting it on a black background.

It will be on a black background but I like how it looks now.  The dartboard looks a little more orange than red to me though.  I am still thinking about it so if you have any more ideas I am up for them.  I will decide by the end of January.

I can make it orange if you want. If you had a close-up of the board, I'd just use that exact orange color.

I meant this dart board looks a little orange to me.

Ah. Well, that's pure yellow. The reason it may look that way is because it is downscaled in size and the red on the board is "coloring" (read: fooling) the yellow into making it look like orange.

Here is a picture of my dart board now that I have it laminated.  I am still not sure if I am going to use the logo above.  I might have it just say bullseye, not sure.

I think I am going to hold off on the logo for now.  I just want to make sure I know what I want.  Thanks
