Photoshop Study: melamorsicata and excuse the "racket"

I publish this post now for reasons of fairness! The site MelaMorsicata.it had launched a contest to redesign their logo . The deadline for participation was (is) on March 15, that's because of this waiting ... I did not want in any way affect anything. The contest could only send a logo or, better, you could participate in "competing" with a single logo. Some participants, Duren the course of the contest, resent variants of the logo (header?) Replacing the previous ones.

Unfortunately I have not had much time for him, given the numerous other requests for "makeover" that I have received - among other things, I apologize to those who have asked me to redesign logos or ideas and still have not received my answer! But time is a tyrant as ever! However I have not forgotten anyone, I swear! So be patient ;)
What I'm sorry about the contest MelaMorsicata.it , is to be the cause of a pseudo-debate on the progress of the contest! Which, of course, was light years away from my "original" intentions. Propose again here the proofs of the logo and story after what happened during the contest.

PROPOSALS

melamorsicatamelamorsicata-02

THAT I HAVE INVATO

melamorsicata-05

Sorry for the "racket"

During the contest proposed by MelaMorsicata.it was born an interesting discussion between (me) some of the participants and the site owners. The question, most likely triggered by me, focused on the essential difference between a logo and a website header. Some of the jobs submitted to the contest, in fact, despite the undoubted quality and originality, as reflected in my view the study of a web header logo. It all started when the third gallery I left the following comment:

A lot of creativity! congratulations! Do not confuse the head of the website with the logo itself! I would not want anyone fraiteso the creation of the logo with the creation of the magazine website.
Well done to all ;)

The site manager (Kiro) so I replied:

Well the logo is to be inserted in the header so we can go ;)

At the fifth gallery I enjoy other proposals and comment:

Simplicity wins - Andrea good beef! Beautiful studio on the apple "twice" "bitten" ;) The others are "flashy" but I'm not a real logo (I still look like headers)
However, all works fine! congratulations!

At this point Mario_design "intercepts" my thoughts and replies:

Also nice to thank is my Mario_design ahahaha
melamorsicata.it still think it needs more than one header of a logo ..;-)

At this point, gambling:

I ventured a proposal ;) We make a separate contest for the header, after the logo was chosen ;) )

Kiro, the site manager, replies:

@ Giovambattista Fazioli: I think the two things are connected. It would be unsound to have a way of logo and header of another ;)

I realize that I have inadvertently triggered a controversy when half Mario_design:

Kiro I think you are confusing the logo with the header are two distinct and separate

A logo, or logotype, is a graphical representation suitable to represent, in general, a product or a trademark.

More precisely defined as the logo font (the font) that differs from another company. A logo is not composed of drawings or pictures, otherwise it would be a pictogram or an ideogram. (Source Wikipedia)

while the header is (the top) only and exclusively a blog or site, in fact they are sudduvisi in header, footer or main

thus the logo is not the header ..
thanks

and then:

At best you create the logo and then you make another proposal, maybe you guys say this is the header logo costruitemi in accordance with the logo .. would be a good idea

Kiro is adamant:

You will know. But if you create the header can be derived from within the logo, it is important to define the graphics ;)

At this point I feel really guilty and try to calm things down:

As we say in Rome, did not want to raise a "racket" on the issue vs. header logo! However I can only agree with Mario_design especially because it is far from clear (@ kiro) that you can "extract" a "logo" with a header.
A process would be more correct to outline the logo and then insert - Retouching, doing it in 3D, coloring, etc ... - in a header that the site's decline. In practice the same logo can then be dressed (or declined) of different graphic. An example is the same as Apple's site, while still maintaining the same logo, over the years has changed and improved its graphic. And that, ultimately, that is for all the "places" ;)

I apparently unleashed Mario_design:

I agree completely with Giovambattista Fazioli .. at most it can be extrapolated from the logo header not vice versa so I guess we have to redefine the contest this is just a suggestion nothing more

aspect of news ..

that is correct:

... You can extrapolate from the logo header '

Sorry I meant to create the header does not extrapolate ..:-)

But Kiro is rightly focused on the website and not on the brand:

For me it is important that it gives the graphics work. Then logo and header can be defined with the winner.

The situation seems to deteriorate! Mario_design "attacks":

Excuse me for saying so, but this competition does not do anything or need to redefine the points or delete it because it makes no sense ...

however, you notice you are comfortable with the ch andnot web
and tells you who is doing an academy of web and graphic design designn ..!!!

and big toe "defends":

Academy of belonging, in the end he is the one that I am He's got the site! I also know that before you create the logo, monogram or who knows what! Everybody knows, but I think it's normal to think as early as one application of the logo to the header, I'm sorry Mario, but not ask He's got a logo for a t-shisrt!

The sixth gallery opens directly with a "correct" specification of Kiro:

[...] Before starting with the sixth gallery, dissolve a doubt that he hit someone. The question was whether the competition was important for a header or logo. The decisive factor that will push me to choose is really impressed with the graphics work, in the sense that it is a logo that a header is going well. I will try to extrapolate the winner by the elaborate logo and a header, of course, ask for help for the operation, the creator himself.

As often happens is quite clear that everyone has their own "personal" reason! My only regret is useless to have ignited a fuse ..., (
