Question For Logo Designers: Do You Need A Week To Create A Logo?

Eugene Church · 02-07-2005, 01:03 PM

This is just a survey of the logo designers who are participating the Favorites Compilation.

Currently you get about a week to create a logo...if we could cut it down to 3 days, we could complete the 20 logo project a lot sooner.

If you need a week, that is fine.

However, if you don't need that much time, we could adjust it.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks.

well, just speaking for myself, I definitely could use the time. It's already very tight for me as is.

But that's just me.

Well, I can tell you this much Eugene, it seems that there are two different camps of designers.

I generally get half or so of the logos within a few days of the announcement and then another flurry within the last 24-36 hours. The days in between are pretty scarce.

I'm not sure if the later entries are because of procrastination, design time, or just waiting for an idea to pop into their heads.

We'll just keep it the way it is...especially since you get a late flurry of entries.

I am retired and many times forget most people have a job and family outside of OOTPB.

Speaking for myself, it's all of the above.

I'm finally going to start in on my Indianapolis Rounders logo today. Hopefully I can get by the deadline.

As to the current timeline, I think it's working out well.

Wanna trade? I'd much rather spend a couple days a week fishing than buying columns and laminated plywood and Japanese siding.

Retirement is great...I am blessed not to have any financial worry...not rich just don't have to struggle...I was a dj for over 31 years...but don't miss it one minute...It was great for 20 years...and then the big corporations took all the fun out of it and make it a predictable science...and took out all of the sponteneity and variety out of it.

If you are a young fellow...save at least 10% of your pay...sacrifice if you have to...and invest it...especially if your company has a 401 K program...max out on if you can.

Then when you get ready to retire...you will be able to do it comfortably...plan now...cause it will come a lot quicker than you think.

I've only been able to submit 2 entries in 4 weeks due to time. If we shortened it, I'd never get to enter. Let's leave it at one week

The logo pros have spoken...a week it is.
