Logo for a Private Poker Lounge

The Backroom Card Company

Cards. Community. Fun.

No

The Backroom Card Company will be a private poker house where people can come to a comfortable setting with like minded people and play poker. It's a BYOB place and regular drinks will be available to all members of the club. Additionally, the company will also have other poker related offerings such as an entertainment-only poker table in other clubs and be available for private events and tournaments. Looking for something that expresses poker/cards and subtle.

Was initially thinking something in a brown or earthy tone. Or, perhaps something in a blue or green. Open to a good design.

The only thought that came to mind was an old, wooden door (like from a cabin or something) that was slightly open with a pair of Aces peeking out from behind the door. This is just an idea and not exactly what I'm looking for. A previous logo I used (and one I like) is here: www.turnrivergaming.com. A similar business to what I'm building is here: www.texascardhouse.com. Not interested in anything with hard lines/corners (like Metallica's logo). Also, it should be something that can have the name with it or not. The name could be The Backroom or The Backroom Card Co. or The Backroom Card Company. www.turnrivergaming.com is a good example of a logo that can be alone or with the name.

    All: With the contest coming to a close, I'll be online as much as possible to work feedback and try to finalize designs. Feel free to submit often and I'll return feedback as quickly as I can.

    Draft #67: this is looking very close to what I would like to see. Still need a bit of tweaking... Perhaps a design on the door, maybe a different door knob. Angling the door I think looks better now that I've seen it both ways.

    All... I'm extending the project another 3 days to allow for more time to complete some designs. What I've seen so far is really good. But, nothing ready to finalize yet. I'm hoping the extra 3 days will allow for some finalization.

    I haven't seen any new drafts posted in the last few days. Are there no other submissions?

    Draft #21 and draft #22: I like this layout. But, the cards in the door don't seem right; like each card is its own door to make up a door. Also, the Card in Card Company could move a bit closer to Company as it seems to be hanging out a bit. Though I personally like colors, not sure they fit the company motif.

    Draft #19 and draft #20: these harken back to earlier drafts; not much change. The color is a bit too gold-ish. Also, the suit motif is still a bit much.

    Draft #15, draft #16, draft #17, draft #18: This looks really nice. But, there's inconsistency in the card logo: in the second two, the center spade is missing at the bottom; in all of them, the spades at the corners are cut off. Additionally, those these look nice, they are a bit too fancy I think with the lettering and a bit too simplistic with the single card logo.

    All: "Card Company" is not required in the design. Perhaps this might help with some design options. I would accept designs with or without "Card Company" in the design if they look good. What I would ultimately like to see is a design where the logo can stand on its own or with the name and/or the tag line. Draft 74 here (http://orders.logodesignguru.com/contests/logo-for-a-poker-casino-company-1) is a good example where the logo can work on its own or with the text.

    Draft #13 and draft #14: the color palettes here look a bit too simple. But the design isn't too bad. Again a bit too heavy on the card suit motif. Draft #14 looks very professional with the enclosure.

    Draft #11 and draft #12: I like the colors here and the text. The logo in draft #11 looks a bit sci-fi-ish. Draft #12 logo is too heavy on the card suit motif.

    Draft #9 and draft #10: This design is looking good. I like the colors in draft #10 more that draft #9. Not a big fan of the suits peeking out like that though or for the door knob. Looks a bit cheesy.

    Draft #7: additional note: I do kind of like the style of The Backroom. Has the right feel to it. But, not the stencil effect.

    Draft #7: This is a bit too generic. Looking for a logo that can also stand on it's own without the text. Though, I like the colors.

    Draft #5 and draft #6: These look better palette-wise, but the logos still look a bit too close to TRG. See comments for draft #3 and draft #4.

    Draft #3 and draft #4: These look nice, but they are too similar to the Turn River Gaming logo. Font included.

    Draft #1 and draft #2: A bit too abstract and a bit too green. Logo should represent company like Apple or referenced project Turn River Gaming.
