Stephen Matthews – “Here is your new logo – a cardboard box. It symbolises all that is happening today. The board itself sheds itself of wealth. The hand-made ethos stands for ‘do-it-yourself’ and it has a second use as a guinea pig cage when my sons’ pets come over. It could easily become a low wattage light giving off typographic shadows, or a planter, the possibilities go on…”
“This is an attempt to show the box in motion, a living logo.”
“I’m sure you’re wondering how this might actually be used as a masthead. Being 3D it allows for interaction with it’s background. lostateminor is 3-dimensional in content and it’s participants are 3D, now its logo can be.”

Daniel – “For me, the first things that came to mind: E minor = Guitar; and Lost = Torch. Put them together and you have this. I was trying to give the impression of guitar tabs and also combine the O and the T to formthe torch. Enjoy!!!!”
______________________________
Mark Bol – “Based on the web, it is one word, spaces don’t work, capitals are not required. It carries real information, facts, and opinions of substance. the classic serif font embodies this.
Many forward slashes come together to form lostateminor. it is what it is. The white is larger than the black. the black, the addresses. the white, the filtering, the collection, the interpretation.
Lostateminor is transparent, the banner art is as a background is not obstructed. Intelligent content which does not have to rely on tricks and effects.”

Romualdo Rommel Perez – “I made the e in a stylized vortex and made connections with the other texts to form the logo.”

Adam Okrasinski – “This version has a gradient fill, but it would change to reflect colors from the banner it sits upon.”

Mike Frank – “Simple typography with a nice thick modern san-serif provides a window into a moment that can rotate. Use with or without a background texture.”

Alisha Watford – “My interpretation of discovery, creativity and artistry in a ‘Lost At E Minor’ logo.”
______________________________
Francisco Galárraga – “Lost At E Minor is all about discovery, and in your face content. The type is direct and easy to read, even in it’s slanted form. Coming from the beyond the top right corner the logo “comes to view screaming “i’m here!” to visitors. The transparent text area gives equal importance to the visual content as to the brand itself.”

Tiffany Hancock – “The name ‘Lost At Eminor’ immediately made me think of being lost in a maze, which fitted in with the idea of discovery. I also hand drew the lettering to give a sense of fun and creativity.”

Tara Higgs – “It’s different. I hope you like.”
______________________________
Joanne Lam – “Inspired by the lines of musical notations, as derived from the “e minor” part of the name.”

davemanc – “Negative space agogo, would need tweaking and font experimentation for final, just throwing an idea at your thought wall to see if it sticks or dribbles down in to the rejection gutter. Lots of options and playability, featured image taking negative space etc.”

Daniel Sicolo – “A clean modern logo with samples on both light and dark backgrounds.”

David Marc Marinelli
______________________________
Ben Hill – “Lost at E Minor is a place where people come to gorge themselves on creative inspiration. That is the essence of a site like this… It’s all about the work showcased. This logo is the stylish unassuming partner of the featured artists and projects. The circle serves as a place where featured projects and the logo cancoexist. I hope you dig it.”

Jamie Strand Roscini

Tara Higgs – “I created this logo to show mostly what I think Lost at E Minor is…discovery (looking, listening, reading, learning and immersing).”

Daisy Kannis – “I aimed to treat typography like a maze…’lost’ in a maze of thoughts in the mind of a creative person/creative environment…yes, sounds corny/obnoxious, (spinning **** IS part of validating a design…no?) but i actually DID have that in mind when coming up with it…tried to show options of how it could look on your banners.”

Tim Eggert – “Four logos shown here pretty much without color.”

David Marc Marinelli on his favorite logos
You’ve probably noticed our new logo sitting next to the rotating banners in the Lost At E Minor masthead. It was the fruits of an on-site logo design contest and is the work of London-based creative director, David Marc Marinelli. We asked David to give us the rationale behind his winning entry and to tell us about some of the logos that have inspired him over the years: ‘The Lost At E Minor name already speaks in volumes. It stands strong and its complexity commands attention, so I knew early on that the logo needed to be a typographic treatment. It also had to be unconventional, and appeal to the diverse but ultimately design-inspired readership. It needed to compliment the content of the site and have the ability to sit next to any piece of artwork with ease’. Read more

Hi Selene, the deadline is May 8th. Thanks, Zolton
Whitey said | 28 April, 2009
Some great stuff here – loved the simple execution by Mark Bol (and the rationale behind the design) as well as the playful nature of Tiffany Hancock’s illustrative pieces.
dmitch said | 29 April, 2009
I really like the idea behind the negative space one..davemanc? Kind of envokes ‘lostness’ but then something found within. Shame it all looks a bit small and compressed here but think there’s something to it. Like David Marc’s too but it’s a bit too ‘Life Lounge’ maybe? http://www.lifelounge.com/default.aspx hope you guys find something you like!
Daniel Meyerowitz said | 3 May, 2009
When I decided to make a logo, I worked at it for a long while. But going through the other submissions nearly made me embarrassed!! All of the designs submitted are nearly immaculate, my personal favorites being mine , Andrew Tiller’s, Gabriel Towles’, Alisha Watfords’, TJ Lewis’, and Neeraj Sarna’s.
Punk Boy said | 9 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff’s is perfect! That’s my pick.
Steve Matthews said | 9 May, 2009
Sara James has cracked it. Using twine to find your way is clever, plus it looks good. The two maze concepts are my second choice. Well done everyone.
Sonya said | 10 May, 2009
chris gordon’s maze .. great , best so far!
Cory Gerard-Little said | 12 May, 2009
JP Schmidt’s third design. So fun.
SNAP! said | 12 May, 2009
Paul Ilkin or Steven Matthews!
martha said | 12 May, 2009
There are so many awesome designs. My favorite is Sara James. I love the use of twine to create cool variations on the logo.
kingsley said | 12 May, 2009
JP Schmidt’s 1st & 3rd logos are really what this blog is about. plus they got some design know-how and modern flare. done and done!
nicole said | 12 May, 2009

daisy a.m. said | 12 May, 2009
i really like taylor jones’ work. don’t ask me why! but really, jp schmidt’s third logo is my favorite. i love the colors. cute. funky. quirky. hip.
dk said | 12 May, 2009
so…when do we find out who’s won?
the suspense!!
Zolton said | 12 May, 2009
Stay tuned guys! We’ll be conferring and soliciting more feedback over the coming weeks. We’ll have a winner soon, though. Some great submissions to choose from.
raw ham said | 12 May, 2009
Looking at all these i’d have to say Daisy Kannis is the better design, simply because it’s a better concept.
Ed said | 12 May, 2009
I really like Daisy Kannis’s creations
Mihoko Hakata said | 13 May, 2009
HOW EXCITING….!! Some great designs here 
I wanted to add the link below for a better quality image:

Crossing my fingers + hairs + everything else~!!! ;D
gina skoutas said | 13 May, 2009
Daisy Kannis’ concept of typography as a maze is mesmerising. A highly crative and thought provoking approach.
MarkyMark said | 13 May, 2009
if i had to pick only ONE i would say JP Schmidt’s first one – SPACE – good font, layout and concept.
but i also love Michael Kleinman’s first one, it reminds me of Back to the Future and Jenna Read’s light bulbs.
Paul said | 14 May, 2009
I like Mihoko’s pink maze logo. Easy to read but still conveys the idea of being lost.
rhonda said | 14 May, 2009
Mihoko Hakata’s design offers a unique and distinct style that sets itself apart from the ordinary. Her bold choice of color, combined with a font that is both playful and mesmerizing invites the reader to dream beyond the limits of the known; her logo embodies the true spirit of your website.
Kat said | 18 May, 2009
I love the treatment of Daisy Kannis’ logo and her use of typography. Good work!
Andrew said | 18 May, 2009
Daisy Kannis’
meets the brief, looks good.
Linda Cummins said | 18 May, 2009
WOW! There are some great designs here…I don’t know how you can choose just one…LOL Stephen Matthews…EXCELLENT VID!
I found your site through your logo contest and thought it would be fun to submit a logo. I want to tell ya…your site is awesome!!! I check it all the time and find myself getting LOST clicking from one feature to the next. When I designed the logo I was going off the concept of being “lost” and thought of arrows and compasses. Now I realize just how appropriate the arrows and compass really are. I find myself going in one direction and reading the story and then seeing another cool picture to click on only to discover another awesome feature! Your site provides the perfect compass to give direction to yet another discovery. Keep up the good work! You have found a fan for life!!!
XOXO, Linda
penn boysen said | 19 May, 2009
I really like Andrew Tillers and those of Murphy Spence. I think that they would look great as a logo. There are some good ones here….
Colby said | 19 May, 2009
I like Rev Jeff’s the best. I like the idea of being lost in a maze, but it is still readable.
Javi said | 19 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff is simple, clean, and so much better than the crazy big, boring logos that are repeats.
Adrian said | 19 May, 2009
The ideas of the labyrinth/maze make sense.
Daisy Kannis has executed it best…i’d wear that on a tshirt.
Brent said | 19 May, 2009
I’m really feeling Rev. Jeff’s, too. Definitely has a Saul Bass flair and is distinctive, legible, retro yet modern.
Amy said | 19 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff’s is the best.
Kara said | 19 May, 2009
1. Ben Hill’s designs with the images behind the type
and
2. Adam James
Cheers
Ashleen said | 19 May, 2009
Hard to choose between Mike Frank and Javier Del Rio (6 down)
Both represent Lost At E Minor so well.
artifice said | 19 May, 2009
is the contest finished?
Carolyn said | 19 May, 2009
i’m a daisy kannis fan. and anna chard.
KC said | 19 May, 2009
I vote for Jeff Nesmith’s logo: smart, purty, interesting.
Jules said | 19 May, 2009
I vote Grant Clark’s,
However, if we’re meant to choose on the basis of both look AND concept then it’d be Daisy’s. not sure how well Rev. Jeff’s would blend with the variety of banner images…plus it doesnt feel ’solid’ enough. Daisy’s are both tight and (especially the second version) would integrate well with any image, and at the same time hold it’s own.
…so when’s the big announcement?
Dave Hall said | 19 May, 2009
Rev Jeff hands down.
RetroFusion said | 19 May, 2009
They are all very good! It is hard to pick just one. I am partial to #4 (Linda Cummins). I like the idea of the compass and arrows – it makes sense and is easy to read!
Patricia said | 19 May, 2009
i like mihokos design. the design doesn’t end on pixel boundaries or live in tight symmetries. much more evocative of human art and emotion. makes it feel more artistic and less like a stock logo from some brand/marketing/design firm.
Diana M. said | 20 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff’s is my favorite… it creates a journey based on the name that works. Love it.
ds said | 20 May, 2009
I love that Rev Jeff could distill his ideas into a single excellent logo. By far, the most professional-looking, creative one of the bunch.
mandata said | 20 May, 2009
I really like Rev Jeff’s logo. I love the way the E is nestled in the middle of a multi directional labyrinth. It has a great visual rhythm and focus.
Melanie said | 20 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff is my vote.
jenniferjennifer said | 20 May, 2009
rev. jeff! sharp and fluid.. nice contrast
Benjamin said | 20 May, 2009
Kannis’ second option and Kleinman’s first option and are my choices i reckon.
So we’ve heard from everyone else…but what do YOU guys (at Lost at E minor) think?
Benjamin said | 20 May, 2009
it IS going to be your logo after all…
Phil said | 20 May, 2009
Hi, ive had a look at all the designs here and i have to say that i reckon Daisy Kannis’s one’s seem to be the most intersting one’s of them all.She has given 6 different examples and they are all pretty cool actually. My fave one’s would be the 3rd and 5th one. They just really stand out from all the others.No offence to everyone else work here, just my opinion.Thanks
Kerrie said | 21 May, 2009
All very well done but if I had to choose my bet would be on Rev. Jeff’s design. It’s clean and simple and makes the grade! Good job everyone & good luck!
Lisa said | 21 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff’s is lovely and exciting and clean. I embrace it.
Jennie said | 21 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff’s is clean, simple and interesting. Great job!
PunkBoy said | 22 May, 2009
Yeah, LAEM guys, what do you think?
Zolton said | 22 May, 2009
Hey guys, we’re about a week away from making a decision. As you can appreciate, we want to get this right, so we’re paying close attention to your feedback and that will be guiding us when we make the final call. Watch this space!
Jeve said | 22 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff all the way. : )
Janet Kim said | 22 May, 2009
I vote for Rev. Jeff.
penn boysen said | 23 May, 2009
Ugh,,, when will this be decided on, I would think that instead of a popularity contest, those at e minor would want to pick a design that they feel best fits. There are some really impressive designs, however not the turnout I expected, nor the quality.
Just pick,,, this will be your design….
Lynda B. said | 23 May, 2009
I like Rev. Jeff’s. also. It has a shape and feel that are compelling… fun to look at.
Sam & Mads said | 23 May, 2009
Rev. Jeff’s design grabs my attention and makes me wonder what this Lost at E Minor is all about.
kd said | 23 May, 2009
i agree with penn. maybe its taking long because the right logo isn’t here? Perhaps, if there’s one you (at laem) do like, but is not quite ‘there’ yet, maybe you could work with the designer till it is?
….not sure how reliable these ‘votes’ really are anyway…
anna-marie said | 25 May, 2009
Stephen Matthews! love that monumental feel
James said | 25 May, 2009
kd – ditto. Maybe treat this as a conceptual stage?
Heather said | 26 May, 2009
Top 3:
Rev. Jeff
JP Schmidt – #1 & #4
Chris Alcantara – middle two examples – clean, simple,
RetroFusion said | 26 May, 2009
My favorites are:
Stephanie Cummins
Linda Cummins
Daniel Sicolo (top 2)
Jenna Read
sgresh said | 27 May, 2009
Rev Jeff’s is one of my favs, the “readability” aspect is questionable. Anna Chard’s is fun, but as a graphic designer, I was always taught–one trick per logo. So, I like Anna’s, but I wish the “e” didn’t have arrows (maybe just a color?)…
Mark Ruffalo said | 27 May, 2009
I think you guys should do a new blog post with like the top 5-10 you are considering. It is really hard to look through all these submissions and the majority are embarrassingly bad (see Mel Colvin, and April Laws for example). I dont mean to talk shit on people who contributed (because I didn’t) but you should really take this competition more seriously if you want your readers to care about it.
Vaughn G said | 27 May, 2009
have to agree with kd also…you rarely ever crack a logo on the first go…saying that, i do think Daisy Kannis’ comes close.
klokie said | 27 May, 2009
Andrew Tiller’s street signs
Zolton said | 28 May, 2009
Hi guys and gals, a BIG thankyou to everyone who took part in this contest and who spent some serious time creating all the interesting, vibrant and fun logos that are sitting on this page. We’ve been literally blown away by the response and the quality of the work. Thankyou also to all of you who have left a comment on the post telling us which logo is your favourite. We’ve been following your responses with interest. And so we can tell you now that we have made a decision on the winning entry, and we will be announcing it next Tuesday under this post. So tune in then and see what logo will be adorning the Lost At E Minor website!
j shields said | 28 May, 2009
jose castro and ali arad. they came with it. fun while remaining simplistic and easy to recognize
Shicco said | 28 May, 2009
Here are my thoughts and the stuff i like:
Mark Bol for the concept
Grant Clark although seems like i seen it before
JP Schmidt the execution, colors & diversity of the options, but i like the 3rd option the most
Chris Alcantara for the type thus it seems like it still needs lots of work to do as it’s only applied with “minor”.
Thanks to all
Zolton said | 3 June, 2009
HI guys, we’ve had a long deliberation period and have debated pretty heatedly the winning entry and have reached a conclusion. The designer who has created the new Lost At E Minor logo is David Marc Marinelli! We liked his simple but stylish design and the legibility of it, which will translate nicely to the top of this website. David will be refining his wining entry a little bit over the next week and we hope to have the new logo live next week. A big congratulations to David and a huge thanks to everyone who has submitted an entry and commented on those that we received.
Adam James said | 3 June, 2009
Congratulations David.
Stephanie said | 3 June, 2009
Your a lucky guy!
Congrats David!!!
Linda said | 4 June, 2009
Great job David!!!
Matty said | 4 September, 2009
There are so many good examples here for a new logo and so so many to choose from. I would list my favorite but there would have to be quite a few as am not sure which one I like the best.
HAVE YOUR SAY
Richmond-based graffiti artist Chip7 has a style that is at once urban and also vaguely tribal with their crude lines and rich patterns. Read more
Haunts is one twisted, skewered, pulsating, gyrating disco tune. Seriously. Jacob Safari, aka Bark, Bark, Bark, sure knows how to take a dirgey chord progression and dress it up in layers of disjointed, unsettling noise.
I’m so digging the work of Santa Monica artist Andrew Hem. Painting seems to have become relegated in the illustration world these days, so I’m pleased to see Hem rocking it in a big way. His bold brushwork, lush colors, puppet-like figures and painted type make for a body of work that really hits the painted spot.
Musicians in Jacksonville, Florida, often plop themselves amongst breakfasting families to nurse their hangovers at the Fox Restaurant. The food is a step above normal greasy spoon fare, but is just as cheap, with a full breakfast costing as little as three dollars. They even offer bananas as an alternative to grits or hash browns.
Improv Everywhere strikes again with a spontaneous musical in a Los Angeles mall. Wireless microphones hooked up to the mall’s PA system ensured the feeding masses didn’t slip into Cinnabon-induced comas until after the show was over. Note especially the angry dude in sunglasses at about 2:51 — apparently he thinks nothing can ever top Rent.
Pioneering Australian designer Kara Smith can definitely give Urban Originals a run for their money. She creates the most innovative handbags for those that truly want to stand out. Detailed with lovely pockets and vintage buttons, Smith’s retro inspired designs literally transform original vintage fabrics into ‘one-off’ clutches, handbags, totes and accessories. I’m in love with her clutches!
