Hi There,

I have submitted my designs and I really appreciate if you can provide me a feedback. Thank You.

Hey everyone, thanks for the designs so far.

I'm seeing a lot of records and headphones for now (as in the brief).
Please note that the website I'm building will grow to a more general music marketplace in time, so not just records.

**** UPDATE TO THE BRIEF ***
The purpose of any logo is of course to:

- identify the brand: NEARMINT: a europe)based peer to peer music marketplace & discovery platform, dedicated to music junkies and people who live & breathe (& make) music. It's about nostalgia, but also about taking the time to enjoy music, to relax, to discover, to share).

- differentiate it from the competition (we are not just an online record store. we bring people together, and create unexpected musical encounters. like finding a treasure in an old attic).

- create meaningful associations in the minds of its customers (the brand should be associated with coolness but not with empty copycat hipsters. It should welcome people of all ages and all musical tastes, although the audience is mostly male & older than 35). Buying on Nearmint should be like giving yourself a present, maybe in a sneaky way without your wife knowing you are spending too much money on records. You are giving yourself the gift of music.

(1) Can you come up with a logo that people can associate with the marketplace aspect (= people buying, selling, trading, discussing, discovering, sharing music) ?

(2) Anyone who has an idea for a more abstract logo, please feel free to submit. I will give as much feedback as possible, and appreciate all efforts. (cf Apple, Nike,

(3) Keep in mind that logo should be usable and recognizable even without the full brand name "NEARMINT"

(4) Keep it simple. The less detail, the better ! I prefer "suggestion" to "being explicit".

(5) If we are really blown away with the final design, it will be credited on our website, so you get some additional advertising :-)

Thanks to all & good luck,

A.

Hey everyone,

Let me start buy saying I'm quite overwhelmed with your response for this project.
I have currently 35+ designers, and 180+ designs to choose from, to reiterate on and to give feedback on, so you can understand the task is not easy for me, and takes time.

Big thanks to everyone who's contributing at the moment, I've seen some excellent ideas, and all of them have helped me to refine my own needs & the brand identify I would like to create.

I will be reviewing my star ratings on some of your designs, just to get some order in the 180+ designs. Please don't take this personnally, I just need to narrow down the choice in a quick way.
