I cant believe this. . . . . [size=5pt]Mediocrity being celebrated as usual. . . [/size] No offense Kemji, but i wouldnt be eating at that "Joint" |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by sojioguns(m): 2:49pm On Feb 15, 2009 |
Gamine, which mediocrity are you talking about? As per whether you won't eat at the "joint" you haven't even tried the noodles and you are criticising it. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by annekix(m): 3:53pm On Feb 15, 2009 |
i think i know what gamine is referring to, it has nothing to do with the noodles its the logo, imagine this, ur driving down ikoyi, would kemji's logo be eye catching enuff to make me pull over and see what the new joints about? Personally i've been thinking bout it too, it seems kinda too simple i think thats what gamines talking about i feel their woulda been a whole lot more competition if more entries from diff applicants came in. the WOW!!! factor came in with the 3d models and the uniform, thats what won it, if only i knew how to work in 3d!! crap!! any way, I thought myself photoshop now i'm gonna teach my self 3d designing pronto! no offense- i'm not trying to pull jabs at u kemji no vex but i feel the logo and the title dont really go together,to me the logo looks like a big steaming pot of Soup, and looks almost african, so if it was titled "TASTY CARIBBEAN STATION" " AFRICAN STATION" may have been better. hey i aint saying my logo is perfect O! after all soji criticized my logo and i fixed it, and i'm sure other flaws may still be there. i take everything as constructive criticism. i know i criticized ur logo kemji but guy i dey feel your 3d modelling, thats some skill, |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by sojioguns(m): 4:21pm On Feb 15, 2009 |
As per being eye catchy, i think Kemji's logo is on the busy side. As an outdoor sign/logo, colour and not form is what catches the eye and it should be in the region of bright colours. A nice background and very simple text would be the kind of logo we are talking about. The text on Kemjis logo would be difficult to read from a distance. But honestly his logo works for the brand. Just a few tweaks and it's a hit. Also as for the African theme to Kemjis logo, I see no problem with it. The restaurant would also sell African dishes won't they? I am guessing even the noodles would have an African touch to it. Design shouldn't always be "Show and Tell". I must also say they look very good on the staff uniforms. Kemji, you suppose start clothing business. |

good day what are you guys saying @gamine my dear,i ve been in branding business for the last nine years and a well simplified and colourful logo is the first stage of the many stages of brand oxygenation especially related to food business,if any one can beat what we have chosen bring it on(well it is your opinion which you have right to but to say the logo is not ideal when we finish with the other stages of our branding layout let see if your friends would not force you to come to nuudlz ztation |

@All Graphics Guys & Chics Thanks for all the commendations, praises, advices and comments (including the bitchy ones like Gamine) . Its nice to see the Graphics Section is waking up again, thanks to this logo design competition. Gamine: @Gamine I no know whether na logo human being dey chop nowadays abi na food? Besides, where were you when the competition was ongoing for a whole month? No offence but Graphical Hypocrites like you should have your place. I used to admire your works girl, but I guess that's all past glory now. If you like, beef me fromm now till next year, de cash no go ever enter ya hand bag! @Boomtowner Oga, thanks again and again for hosting the competition. especially for hosting the money which I won! LOL De money dey under my pillow and I dey look am every morning to make sure e still dey there! More power to your elbows and success in your food business. You can bet I'll be honoured to be eating there with my friends and family anytime I'm passing through! @Annekix Hard luck man. Your logo was tight though, but you'll agree it was a lil too complex for a brand logo (take a cue from the likes of Microsoft, Sony etc etc) You don't need another headache when reproducing the logo, or perhaps giving it to an artist to do a banner and stuff. Think of that in the next competition. Simplicity still works even in our complex world today. Anyways, it's safe to say congrats man, you came in second best on that one i'll give you that! @Sojioguns Hi man, I know we're always on the wrong end of comments and advices, but I really appreciate your having my back on this one. You still are more experienced in the advertising business and so your opinion is ususally never biased! I know there may have been better entries than mine only if people took the deal more seriously. But it would only have challenged me more, to do something much bbetter! See all the entries pouring in now the competition is over? And finally, for those who requested a 3d music video from me, here's a lil somethin' somethin' from Kemjisuper Xtremme Studios, LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Z8xZKwLkA |

@Kemjisuuper LoL. Congrat again O! I knew you will win from the beginning. Don't mind some haters in this place sef. they just showing themselves. I hope to see more works from u, you inspire me |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by dansmith1(m): 2:56pm On Feb 16, 2009 |
Kemjisuper ur designs r really good. And the 3d modeling is great too. looks like uv been in this sorta business b4. Congrats, i knew u had it in the bag the minute i peeped the logo, brilliantly crafted and simply decorated. annekix ur design is nice but man its a bit too complex 4 moi o, 4 instance ur fonts r kinda bizzare. Big ups to u designer folks! E no easy, but u go make am |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Neptune(m): 3:05pm On Feb 16, 2009 |
em, this is a "Joint" we are talking about right? not a restaurant. i want to believe there's a different between both. correct me if am wrong. so kemji's logo fits for a joint. and i like neo's logo. it's simple, fits a restaurant. to talk true, if there were judges in this competition, kemji would have been second. but its a one man show. 9years in the branding business or not, it still comes down to what u (the owner)likes. when it comes down to things like these it does'nt just come down to 'simplified and colourful logo' ur location is also very important. doest that logo fit well into ur area say for example u want to hang a billboard. what kind of people are u inviting in, yahoo boys or business men. kemji's logo is very good but i can't blame boomtowner too, there were very few entries. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by CGKing(m): 5:55pm On Feb 16, 2009 |
Pleasssse, you people should leave tkovie2002 alone, cant you see he is running a Nigerian business. Nigeian business dont pay, THEY BEG. Begging is good enough for Nigerian freelancers @ktovie my guy, keep begging. @all on Kemji's I have found out by painful experience that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have dont exceptional designs in the past that was rejected and had a very poor approved by the same client. So its not new to have dissenting opiniions on this competition. @kemji, my main man, Dont be afraid of criticisms, no matter how you feel about them, they will make you better each time. For me i love ya, not the logo, but i love ya bro. and for me - if i were the judge - even if you didnt win cos of the design, you sure would have got me because of your fine attitude. And really, that matters alot in the world today, You are the best. See, you even have idygurl running after you. Iv been trying to get her attention since last year. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by annekix(m): 1:57am On Feb 17, 2009 |
hey it wasnt dat complex now, shoo the fonts were supposed to be oriental, ah wateva! yeah, yeah i give up alas. annekix walks away sulking , defeated, patiently waits for his " 3D modeling for beginners" to finish downloading. He hee! @ kemji, with Grin on his face he says in an arnold shawzzeneger accent "i'll be back!" |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Kemjisuper(m): 10:14am On Feb 17, 2009 |
annekix: Kemji: Blowing off the smoke from his smoking gun with which he totally neutralized Annekix replies ", and I'll be waiting! |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by mikedanza(m): 12:46pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
I'm impressed I must say. How much will if cost to buy off the rights for a logo design? I need to do a logo too. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Kemjisuper(m): 2:36pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
Try $100. I guess its fair enough! |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Nobody: 3:58pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
Nice contest, but i guess this is wot big companies in nigeria should do instead of spending outrageous bugget on logos, intercontinental bank's new logo makes me laugh, from good to bad. @kemijsuper, Congrats. that was nice. i guess i av to get ur add cos i av some questions to ask and i guess we could also share creative ideas, my email is wagijones@yahoo.com thanks |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Gamine(f): 4:59pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
The Logo. . . . is still Crap in the plainest of terms Money. . . .the love of it is still the root of all evil |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by sojioguns(m): 5:05pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
Kemji, do you and Gamine have scores to settle? Haba! Gamine, relax I know it is your opinion but the CLIENT has made his choice and as you know, the client is King. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Gamine(f): 5:12pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
The Client is king. . .bla bla Does it mean we have to keep churning out nonsense, whatever happened to a sense of worth i have NO problem with Kemji, only a problem with Mediocrity |

Welcome to Nigeria!!!! |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by boomtowner: 5:54pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
@ gamine i m not in anyway oblige to answer you but as a creative mind i want to find out about how crappy the logo is,is there any logo designs amongs the entry that you feel is worthy of the price money,or can you show us from any logo on the worldwide web that you feel is a perfect logo for a noodles,fresh food making eatry,please do let us see that logo so as to know your mind set of a perfect logo creation that befits this eatry.like i rightly told you there a lot of steps and stages to branding.i m very sure if the NIKE logo was in creation you would have a harsh opinion of it's simplicity, we all know today that the brand NIKE is an house hold name. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by sojioguns(m): 6:14pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
@boomtowner, You are the client so your decision is strictly nobody's business. Gamine is coming off wrongly in expressing her opinions. People have different perceptions to brands. Anyways, I am sure Kemji's design is already at the printers so let us all move on to other things. WHERE IS THE NEXT COMPETITION? |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Gamine(f): 6:34pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
Mr Boomtowner, i never directed any of my posts to you except. . .you are the logo I dont know were to begin about the logo, but i just showed a friend, when i told her it was for a food joint, her face turned out like this You wanna find out how crappy the logo is ? Google is your friend sir. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by sojioguns(m): 6:42pm On Feb 17, 2009 |
Gamine, I really want to learn where Kemjo went wrong with the logo. Please enlighten us. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by meta4(m): 9:38am On Feb 18, 2009 |
hello House, i must say that this is the best tread i've ever viewed on nairaland. the contest for one, though the response at first wasn't it, but its well understood since guys were trying to be sure of the reality of it, the maturity of the those that posted their designs and the way they handled the critics, the critics too were matured in doing that positively and you see posters adjusting their designs accordingly, the selection of the winner too,well announced. i'm really impressed. i wished the winner was given the opportunity to be at the opening of the outfit alongside the prize money. hope another one will come up soon,since i was not able to catch this until now cos i enjoy creating designs too. keep it up guys!!! |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Kemjisuper(m): 10:36am On Feb 18, 2009 |
Gamine: , and the lack of it makes people steal! Could all those in the house who don't love money pls stand up? That's what I thought, everyone loves money, including you Gamine! @Gamine Learn to respect people's personal opinion (especially the owner of the logo). I wonder how many logos would have survived if you were to be a worldwide critic. You don't like the logo just cos your friend (who may not know jack about art or graphics) said so. And you're preaching mediocrity? Naaah! |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by CGKing(m): 9:10am On Feb 19, 2009 |
lol Gamine, I think you are just being sincere. I know alot of pple confuse that with the idea of encouragement. Please keep being honest, And if you wouldnt mind, i would love u to evaluate some of my work too. But the fact reamains, my dear sister, beauty is really in the eye of the beholder. It is not a poem, it is real. I dont think it sounds nice to blast a work of art that is cherished by someone before his very eyes. It suggests a lack of quality judgement on the part of the client. So pls out of respect for Mr boomtower, let's not let our real opinions out. I think if you had criticized the logo before it was approved, it would made more impact. @ my guy kemji, I beyond all reasonable doubt support your winnings, sincerely. But if you dont listen, just a little, and pick something from what Gamine is saying, I think there is something value you will miss. That everyone's giving you the thumbs up is really not enough to say you at the top of the game, Many times, that tiny voice in the crowd that's in opposition may be offering what you need to hear. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by sojioguns(m): 10:01am On Feb 19, 2009 |
Well spoken CGKing, very impressive. |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Kemjisuper(m): 10:03am On Feb 19, 2009 |
@CGking Thanks man, for the commendations and encouragement. I've digested a whole lot of great advice from the likes of Sojioguns, OKX and even Annekix (who came in after me if I may say). But where's the advice in saying "I won't eat at that joint", "The logo is crap", "Mediocrity, mediocrity, mediocrity" A good critic would tell you exactly why the logo is crappy, as well as what would make it better! I believe some others mentioned that. All Gamine had to say was she showed it to her girlfriend Abeg where's the next competition jare? |
Re: Logo Design Contest Best Design Gets 100 Dollars by Gamine(f): 3:25pm On Feb 19, 2009 |
Ohh. . .i so didnt want to post here again. @CgKing, i didnt see this thread soon enough i guess Design isnt just about beauty, its about function if a User, who really is the King, doesnt recognise a brand for what it really is, what it stands for im sorry, but that design has failed. Truth Hurts. Design Better. |
