Artixanz - Minimalist Logo & Brand Design

Status: Open
Prize: $300
Entries Received: 28

Contest Brief

I'm seeking a talented designer to create a unique, minimalist logo and brand treatment for my artisanal company, "Artixanz".

Key Brand Aspects:
- Modern and Trendy: The logo needs to reflect a contemporary aesthetic, appealing to a modern audience.
- Minimalist Design: I want a clean, uncluttered design that embodies minimalist principles.
- Monochrome Palette: The brand colors are strictly monochrome - black, white, and grey.
- Timeless Design: Ensure that the design maintains a timeless quality and does not follow fleeting trends.

Design Requirements:
- Non-Typographic: The logo should not simply be the letter "A" or the word "Artixanz" in a basic font. We are open to typography logo's but they must be truly unique or combine typography with unique framing or design elements.
- Versatile: The design should be suitable for various applications, including apparel like hoodies or hats, as it will represent a lifestyle brand.

The company will showcase a selection of unique, high-end, handcrafted pieces from various artisans, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and jewellers. Therefore, the logo should subtly convey the concept of 'Artistic Craftsmanship'.

Ideal Skills:
- Strong portfolio in minimalist and modern design
- Proven experience in brand development and logo design
- Ability to create non-typographic, unique designs
- Understanding of lifestyle brand aesthetics
- Excellent communication skills for understanding and incorporating feedback.

Please provide examples of previous work that aligns with this project.

The logo should primarily convey a sense of artistic craftsmanship.

A shame that @marcusodolescu / Sodolescu wasn't brave enough to write this in a new comment so I could hit reply.(because it was for Muhammad)

That's right... blame the host. I've been the creative director behind design hire for 15 fortune 100 companies and hundreds of projects for brands that I bet $1000 you have purchased at least one of.
Ok. The fact you spend so much time to argue with everyone here instead of of choosing a design...trust me, this is not what a "creative director behind design hire for 15 fortune 100 companies" does. have a nice day. (please don't bother me with your response)

  How do you think designs are chosen exactly. We shortlist our favorites and choose at the end. So I have all the time in the world during the holidays to "Argue with everyone here" while I wait for the end.
  
  I see why you work here. You don't have the interpersonal skills to work in the real world and for a designer you're not accurate in thought.
  
  "Argue with everyone"? No just you. When YOU directkly argued with my statement and accused me of being the problem. Odd that 25 people agree with me from the designer pool.
  
  "Not what a creative director does" If you'd like to DM me for my resumè I'm happy to do so for the sake of embarrassing a child into better behavior.
  
  You didn't address anything I said about your ignorant comment. Just an argumentative nature to feel clever.
  
  You're a 2nd rate debater. A fifth rate designer. A first rate example of all the worst parts of freelancers.
  Only cowards or liars beg someone to not respond. I look forward to your message.

  I'm still desperately trying to understand what on earth possessed you to comment on my original complaint. Ai is over used here. people steal designs here constantly. 90% of people ignored the brief of my contest. What on earth are you talking about criticizing me and contest holders that they likely just choose an over used concept anyway.
  
  That had nothing to do with what i wrote or your equally uninspired designs that were rejected. You need to grow up.

3000 entries doing the exact opposite of what I asked. Hundreds of duplicate entiries. A logos and lazy off the shelf font based logos. 12 entries that I liked, revealed to be stolen with a simple reverse image search on google. This used to be a space for professionals. Seems to be almost exclusively a place for people to ai content, copy paste their lazy designs into every contest posted with minor tweaks and somewhere to steal and sell copyrighted material. To everyone to whom this applies, thats a good 1500 of you, you are the reason this site is dying. You should be ashamed.

  Hello, I would like to share a few suggestions regarding this contest:
  
  1. Open the Contest for Transparency:
  Would it be possible to make the contest open so that all participants can view the entries? This would not only help us understand the design direction you prefer but also allow us to report AI-generated or plagiarized designs, ensuring the quality and fairness of the contest.
  
  2. Design Preferences:
  I have submitted a design that was created with original concepts and careful thought, but unfortunately, it was declined. It would be very helpful if you could upload references or clarify your preferred design style, so we can better align with your vision.
  
  With these suggestions, I hope to contribute to a more collaborative and productive contest environment. Thank you in advance for your attention! ?

  I am so so happy to see you here.
  I left this website just because of shitty people calling themselves designers, using AI, and winning the contests too.
  
  You have rejected thousands of submissions at the same time, and reading your comments and replies makes me think that I should give this project a shot.
  
  You will be getting my submissions soon.
  Thanks for the opportunity.

  Don't blame the thousands of entries ignoring the brief. Don't blame the theft. Don't blame the lack of creativity or people submitting dozens of the same design or submitting the same designs to hundreds of contests.
  
  I feel like your feelings are hurt because I immidiately ignored your dsigns.
  1. Your anvil design. I received 183 anvil designs, 65 of which were better in my opinion than yours.
  2. Your painter/artist deisgn played nothing into the concept beyond the "on the nose" idea of an 'artist' being an 'artisan' anf frankly it looks like the pied piper.
  3. Your asymmetrical fleur de lis design. Original, uniquem obscure and boring.

  For the record... you incredible, all knowing design savant, if you'd like me to go through your portfolio here on freelancer one at a time, I've already seen 4 examples that I can point you to a brand/project that's been using a logo 85% similar longer than youve been holding a pencil. I see why you're an expert on "overused concepts". You should hope that when you see what I choose that you do think it's an overused concept, that's literally the way you're making extra pocket money.
