Notion Ink

The Final 10

Posted in Uncategorized by Rohan Shravan on October 28, 2010

Dear All,

So here we are with the final 10 logos. In general the original work always looks better (as you might see in lots of entries here). I have noticed the comments as well and have tried to add those here. No wild card entries even though we received more logos after the deadline. No more words from me now, lets start voting (I will have to keep the voting secret as else it will hint the new voters, remember you get tracked, so can’t vote more than once!)

Remember:

  • You can vote only once
  • Voting ends on 30th 11:00AM IST

Happy Voting!

With Warm Regards

    Go for no 1!

    I vote for number 3. Please let me know when this is on sale so I can buy this instead of the iPad.

    If #2 won, I think it needs to be modified too since it is a generic illustration of stock photos on the internet. I made my own mod. Please check it out and comment.

    I’m partial to the 2nd one I did and I hope NI revises it to something like that. However, I kinda prefer the font of the 1st one because the 2nd O is right smack in the center of the logo which gives it a more neat and balanced look.

    #1 or #4

  10. Gigantor said, on November 3, 2010 at 05:17

    I would think Notion Ink will make revisions of the winning logo. I thought Logo #5 was going to be the winner but Harun said he didn’t receive an email on Halloween’s Eve. Be that as it may, in case he won, I made revisions of his logo because I’m not big on the almost Nook look-a-like of it (the logo will remind people more of the Nook than Notion Ink company). Please check it out and I hope you guys like them. They are the first 5 slides.

    I also made changes on Logo #1 which may be the winner. I think the shape is weird so I thought I could improve or refine it. I hope Bjorn, the author likes them. They are slides 7,8,9, & 10. I would appreciate comments from everybody.

      Good job. Yeah i dont like the nook ones and the omni group N that is the current #9. I also find that the N! and NI ones remind me and too many people of Monty Python’s ‘The Knights Who Say Ni!” sketch.

  11. Xen said, on November 3, 2010 at 02:52

    I knew that I had seen that N in number 9 before! I just couldnt place it until now:

    dart missed the vote

    I would have voted 2

    but as corporate logo especially for the business market i can see a lot in 9.

    it took me a moment to understand it but very corporate

  13. harun said, on November 1, 2010 at 07:56

    this commnt to round the no. of comnts to 500 ! ! :-P

  14. Tarwinia said, on October 30, 2010 at 15:34

    Now that the poll is closed I can safely say that I voted for 2. It’s a nice design and it reminds of ink droplets or pen nibs coming together in a cooperative manner. Now to wait and see who won :)

  15. harun said, on October 30, 2010 at 09:17

    if it as the time said by Rohan,
    the poll shoud hav last for 2 more hours!

    • inmypjs said, on October 31, 2010 at 11:46

      Actually when it closed I saw that there was actually 8 hours still available before closing, unless i’m looking at the wrong clock that was posted here (for India’s time) by someone, I don’t get it too. Why Rohan hasn’t explained the reason for doing it just escapes me.

      Rohan said he’s going to use the winning logo for their company. That means he really likes the winner. I just hope that he will make revisions to the logo since it will become their sole property. Like for example, logo #5 looks similar to the Nook logo. If that won, then I would make the N in the logo a little different. Maybe something like the UNicod Sans Bold font:

    WTF…it is 10.45pm Central time on 10/29 – i.e. 9.15 am IST on 10/30 but I can’t vote even though it says polls close at 11am IST on 10/30.

    If you care to add my vote (in good desi estyle) – #9

  17. Gigantor said, on October 30, 2010 at 07:17

    Thanks to all those who responded on my early posts regarding my logo designs. I appreciated the nice comments. I would like to know which one are your favorites and perhaps I would make a poll and create a screensaver of the top 10 favorites, this time with some graphic treatements. Here is a slideshow.

    Thr 4′th has a bomb. The light bulb is actually a black grenade !

  21. Gigantor said, on October 30, 2010 at 02:44

    2 of my favorites didn’t make it to the top 10. The Sanskrit font NI and the N Factorial concept. I made modifications of these at the request of the authors. Please check them out and tell me what you think.

    i liked logo # 4 can’t wait for the adam to be real

  23. Gigantor said, on October 30, 2010 at 01:56

    Logo #1 should have the typeface of Brandon Grotesque Bold. I think the company name should be larger and it shouldn’t be condensed.

    http://www.zeldman.com/2010/03/29/brandon-grotesque/

    Logo #2 should have the typeface called Sone. Very elegant and yet still modern.

    http://www.typographyserved.com/gallery/Sone-Font/226554

    Logo #3 should have had Platform One typeface for the company name and should be bigger. I can’t believe that was not even revised. I wonder if the author even bothered.

    http://www.typographyserved.com/gallery/PlatformOne-Typeface/272238

    or a little variation of it which is the ArchiType Bayer font.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ABayer.png

    Logo #5 A little difficult because I do not like the frankfurter style of typeface for the company name as it will look too informal since the logo itself is already playful. Something that’s not too casual is Martin Gothic (in small case)

    http://www.ascendercorp.com/font/martingoturwtbol/

    Logo #9 I’m ok with the typeface but the Notion should be in regular as it depicts an intangible connection to the implicit N while the Ink should be in bold as it is a tangible object.

  24. PaniK31 said, on October 30, 2010 at 01:56

    I had another idea for the logo (ok, I know this is too late but when I have an unfinished idea in my mind… ;-) )
    Because the screen background light of the Adam can be turned on or off, I used black text on white surface and white text on black surface in my previous logo attempt ( http://imgur.com/QqlTj.png )
    I now used the same technique but using some kind of a book as background ( http://imgur.com/3ulIl.png )

    I never use http://www.conceptfeedback.com but I hear that´s not a bad website to get reviews on a concept. If there is someone with some credits there he/she could post nr. 1 there as that´s recurring choice.

    It would enormously broaden the focus group and I believe most of the people there are knowledgeable in graphic design. The reactions on 2: an for sale logo which is often used and the current nook like as presented are predictable. The same goes for 9. So that leaves 3 if someone else has some credits there. The rest can of course be done as well.
