The Logo Men
A few months ago, I stumbled across an interesting Facebook Fan page called The Logo Men. They are comprised of Pinoy graphic designers who create logo designs for businesses, brands, and websites at a very very affordable rate (you will be surprised). They offer 5 kinds of packages - Hero Pack; Superhero Pack; Character Logo; Themed Logo Design and Logo Repair. They offered to provide me a Hero Pack for Boy-Kuripot in exchange for a feature.
The Hero Pack costs P1,950. This includes 3 unique logo concepts/studies and 4 revisions until you are completely satisfied. Check out the complete pricing for all design packages
Ordering the Hero Pack was easy enough. I logged into logodesign.ph website and clicked on the order button found on the services page. It then brought me to the registration page for access to the website. After that, I was brought to the order information page where I needed to fill up a slightly lengthy form about the look and feel of my logo design so they could properly create a design I wanted. It probably took me a good 15 minutes to fill-up that form.
Once the order information page has been processed, I was brought to the PayPal payment portal. I found this very advantageous because it is fast, secure and payment is easy. If you don't know how PayPal system works, don't be scared. All you need is a VISA, MASTERCARD or AMERICAN EXPRESS credit card to register for an account. If you haven't created a PayPal account yet, you should do it now. You will most likely use it in the future.
But if you really don't want to set-up a PayPal account, you may also deposit your payment through BPI or UCPB. Just close the PayPal window and email Contact@thelogomen.com or send them a YM at thelogomen@yahoo.com (they are usually online) to coordinate with the payment
5 working days passed and I was sent my initial concepts which was viewable on the thelogodesign.ph website. This was my feedback:
I sort of like the 1st logo except for the mascot. The mascot looks fat and has an awful hairdo. The 2nd logo has too much colors and design. I remember writing that I want an elegant and simple design. I like the 3rd design but it reminds me of a logo of one of my competitors. I think it can do without the cash and gifts as a background. Try to remove the cash and gifts on the 3rd logo and let's see. Remember, try to make the logos simpler. We are aiming for elegance and style.
After another 5 working days, I got these revisions. I liked both option 1 and 3. Option 1 had a cute mascot and the shape and colors of the Philippine flag was incorporated into the text itself. Option 3 had a huge font size and a great choice of font type which was easy on the eyes. I also liked the fact that the word Kuripot was inside a speech bubble that sort of connotes someone calling out Kuripot. I finally made up my mind by choosing option 3. My only request that they make the font of the caption a little bit smaller to make it more legible.
And here is the final output.
I also requested the logo to be placed on a black background to see if it works well in black as it does on white. Below is a black and white rendition.
Below are some of the logos they have already done.
