Wanted: Service I need a High Quality Snooker Logo

alex · Oct 31, 2012

I'm looking for someone to produce a high quality vector logo for snooker.co.uk

At this stage I'm open to suggestions regarding design, so even if you're not a designer feel free to post ideas, suggestions and examples.

Purpose and target audience:

- I'm primarily targeting UK amateur snooker players, but also general snooker fans.
- The site will be targeted towards a UK snooker community. There will be a snooker shop, competitions, directories, virtual coaching, tournament information etc.

Logo Requirements:

- I need a high quality vector image, preferably readable in adobe illustrator, as the logo will be used for large print as well as screen/web etc.
- The logo must include the text "snooker.co.uk".
- I need the logo to fit well as a social media profile picture. Since "snooker.co.uk" is by itself long and short, I don't mind having a separate graphic that sits above the text which could also be used as a stand-alone.
- Maybe incorporate a snooker player, cue, balls etc.
- There is currently no intention for the site to cater for other cue sports, i.e. pool, billiards.

I'm hoping this will be a process of coming up with ideas and examples so feel free to comment with suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've not actually heard of Fiverr.com so will check it out now.

I've used 99designs.com before which could be another option, but I thought I'd post here for inspiration first and see if anyone here would be willing/able.

I recommend you my designer. He's a professional designer but he charges less. You can contact him on his site - OinkyStudio.com.

i wouldn't recommend fiverr for a logo for your site, it's fine paying $5 for a logo for a small site you make, but when you have a top end domain you need spend top dollar on a logo really.

Bit like buying a £3k tailored suit and then buying £20 Tesco black shoes to wear with them

The Nike swoosh cost $35.

The beauty of logos on Fiverr is that you can order a bunch very cheaply from different designers and take your pick. If you don't like any then go elsewhere without losing much. Plus you'll have more of an idea of the type of thing you want from a 'pro'.

I've had carp delivered from fiverr but have had some great stuff too.
