    The proper forum for this is offers and requests. Moved. Also, try to give more details as to what you want, possibly examples too.

    oke the things that have to be in the logo are the letters tsd, it has to have something to do with music and/or light(as in dj and vj)
    the reward will be the amount of credits i have and thats 39 at the moment.
    i will upload an idea(a drawing, and my drawing skills arent super good so beware) later on.
    if you can come up with something yourself, please dont stop.
    but remember this is for a drive in show company.(and some effects in the logo would be nice)
    only the best will get the credits and i will keep on updateing how large the ammount is :P

    thanx all!

    you could make the drawing a bit bigger and also use a ruler for straight lines .. if you can do that, I'm sure people can trace the drawing in PS and make it look good

    First off the four examples you posted aren't logos. They're advertisements. If you tried using something like that as a logo, you'd be completely missing the point of a logo, which is a simple, clean, concise, memorable piece of imagery that can be easily associated with your company. Second, one of the most important aspects of a good logo is scalability. Sure, those images look good at an appropriate distance in the right size, but from a distance, or at a small size, they're far too detailed to be recognizable.

    In the first sketch you did, the logo is easily more than double as tall as it is wide. Consider the logo's function. Most uses of logos are business cards, letter heads and signage. In order to fit a logo of those dimensions onto a standard sized business card you'd need to shrink it down considerably, leaving massive whitespace on either side. You can pretty much forget using it as a letterhead.

    The second logo has some merit, but is far too generic to create any kind of branding. Expecting people to associate any kind of connotations regarding the event or themes with something so plain is plain silly.

    We need to know more about the event to offer any real insight or concepts for a logo. What kind of music is played? what kind of artists are involved? A "dj clubbish thing" tells us absolutely nothing. Is it an event held regularly at a nightclub? In which case I fail to see why you'd want a logo. The only logos needed would be those of the venue and sponsors, and all other imagery would be unique to the advertising material.

    Also, if you want results you're going to need to offer some kind of incentive. I do a lot of pr.ofessional logo/branding work, but I would never ever let a design of mine walk out the door for nothing.
