I need a logo designer

Contest Brief

The Business is construction in Hawaii. Building new homes, and renovations.
The name of the business is Da Kine Builders. Please note the spelling, some artists are getting the spelling wrong.
I would like to include the Hawaii flag as part of the design. I am a cutting edge, High end builder.

I am thinking I would like the name Da Kine Builders to be bold.
Under the name I would like in smaller print to read
You Deserve the Best (if you know a better way to say You deserve the best I would love to see it.

I do some graphic design with Illustrator. I would like to have eps files of finished design, incase I decide to change the tagline, or ?

DAY ONE UPDATE. I would like to thank all of you in advance, the designs that have been submitted are amazing. Through all of your hard work, I have learned more of what I am looking for...

Please submit all work on a black background. I am going to use this artwork on the side of my white van, but with a black background. I think the contrast will draw attention and pop off the van. I will also make business cards, and I think with a black background with a glossy card it will also look amazing. Additionally I will design a website and use the logo there.

Please do not use the American flag in the design. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, and I love the Hawaiian flag. I think the hawaiian flag must be a part of the design. Your art has far surpassed my vision. My vision has evolved due to the amazing work that has been created so far. I wish I was rich, I would buy them all! I am thinking I will award the winner an additional bonus in payment on the side, you deserve it (through venmo or something).

I think the final design must have a logo including the DKB along with the text of name and tagline. Please do not submit artwork that has shapes of houses, buildings or tools, although many amazing artistic work has been created utilizing those elements, I think it is too cliche, or normal, and I am anything but normal. I love art, and unusual designs that are one of a kind creations. Many have been produced so far. I feel I cound end the contest now ( I hate the word (contest)! Art should not be judged by another, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in my humble opinion you are all artists, and winners, and I wish you all much happiness and success in your life.. I digress... I have studied and practiced buddhism for the past 25 years, and I feel truly blessed by what the Universe has brought into my life, you my friends are part of those blessings!

It has taken me some time to figure out how to utilize the tools on this website, forgive me for wasting your time in the beginning, as I was unable to communicate effectively. I will attempt to be quick to update, delete, rate designs, and make comments as we move closer to the end of this process. I do some basic graphic design, but definitely not on your level, I am in awe of your creativity, sincerely, Ron Hughes

Employer Feedback

“Working with Prasenjit was a great experience. He went above and beyond from day one until after the project was finished. He listened carefully to all my ideas, and he brought his own ideas to the table. He far surpassed my expectations. I have worked with many designers in the past, and this surpassed all of them. His professionalism, tireless work ethic, and attention to detail is unusual to find these days. I believe Prasenjit is a fine, reputable, and talented young man, that will go far in whatever he pursues. ”

    Aloha dear friends, I have been away from the computer for many days. I have been working on my Kona house. I finally decided to live in that house, and I have been collecting used furniture to make the house a home. It has been nice to sleep in a real bed. I went almost 4 years sleeping on the floor. It was not bad, just not as comfortable as in a bed:) Life is good, you just need to see the good. if you choose to see the negative, your life will be filed with negativity. The Universe has a way of bringing to you what you feel and think about, so have positive, optimistic thoughts, and the Universe will reward you greatly. I am off to work on my other house in Papaikou today. Have a beautiful day, Ron

    After 7 days of doing this. Jack finally said, yes Ron I have a job for you. I got the job. I was 17 years old. I lied, and said I was 18 years old to get the job, they never checked. I got to be the manager within 6 months, then 3 months later, I organized a strike to improve working conditions for all the workers. This is the power of not accepting no for an answer.

    Dear friends, I know some of you have not been able to do your other jobs because of the corona virus. I would like to share with you a way to get a job that is not available. I did this when I was 17 years old, something you might try... I applied for a job once. They said they are not hiring. I came the next day, and I bought a box of donuts to give to them. I asked again to apply for the job. Again, Jack the manager said there is no job opening. I said okay, thank you. The next day I came again, and now I knew Jacks name. I said Hey Jack how are you? Is there a job opening today? He said no, I said okay thank you. The next day I came again, and I said Hi Jack I just stopped by to check if there was a job opening? He said no, I said okay, thank you...

    Greetings dear friends. I have successfully purchased many designs. I still have a few more that I will purchase. I will contact you directly to make my offer. Thank you to all the designers. who created amazing work here, and was generous enough to deliver files to me. I know I can never use all the designs (?? maybe I will figure out a way to, voila I just came up with an idea... on my new website I will have a page with all the designs on it :) Anyway... I am having issues getting freelancer to accept my payments, and getting my bank to make payments. I hope this will be resolved shortly. I am at my wits end trying to accomplish this simple task.

    I think I mentioned earlier that I uploaded my first Youtube video. I thought I would share it with you all, just for fun. Please be advised that this may be the worst youtube video that you have ever watched. it is only 2-3 minutes long. The music is copyrighted, and way too loud (it was playing in the BG I wont do this again. It is a vertical video, (I will probably do this again). I didn't add any info that would be helpful. I will fix all of this once I get up and running. I just purchased a Canon M50 camera, some mics, lights etc. so in a month when this equipment arrives, I will start producing better videos. but for now check my first one out, if you like? https://youtu.be/Oj-oaM9Vtfs

    This morning I attempt to sort things out, and now I find out that Freelancer.com may be the root of the problem, as I contacted my credit card company, and they said they never rejected any purchases, it was Freelancer rejecting them? WTF they work for you, why would they reject my purchase... Anyway I digress.

    Anyway, I had to drive to the other side of the island last night. I was very tired when I arrived. when I got online this site was exploding with messages etc. I tried my best to chat with each of you, and process orders, and answer questions, but I feel I failed miserably. Partly because I was very tired and not thinking clearly, and also I was having weird computer issues. You all know how that disrupts workflow. Then I had credit cards rejecting purchases, I would change to a different one, then it would happen again. Oye Ve!

    His name is Prasenjit N. That said... I also love so many of the designs that have been created by other artists. What I have done is rejected the designs that I feel don't fit my vision. I analyzed each designers work individually as a whole collection. If I contact you to purchase your work, I would like to receive all of the "selected designs" (the ones that have not been rejected), including the various modifications that have not rejected. (I hope this makes sense), I can only hope that this will be agreeable with you. I do realize that we have mostly been looking at mockups, and most of your work is vector without mockups, (although I understand some are in vector with fx). This is okay, as I have Illustrator, and Photoshop, and a fairly good working knowledge to be able to do the fx that I like in post production. Please bear with me, and have patience, as I feel this process of communicating with you will take some time. Many thanks to all of you! Ron

    Okay, one last comment in response to a question of how I quit smoking. I used to smoke regular cigarettes. American Spirit Gold box to be exact. I have always hated the taste of menthol cigarettes. So I devised this plan to torture myself until I could stand it no longer...

    I started smoking only menthol cigarettes. My smoking experience changed over the course of about 1-2 weeks. I no longer enjoyed smoking as the menthol was unpleasant. I still had the craving for Nicotine, so I would smoke the nasty menthol cigarettes when I needed my fix. I smoked less and less each day, until one evening when I decided to quit. I crushed the remaining unsmoked cigarettes, in a ritual that I will always remember. I encourage any of you smokers that desire to quit to get creative with how you quit. It can be done. You owe it to yourself, your family, and friends. Choose life, health, and good breath :) over this bad habit. It won't be easy, but the rewards will far outweigh the agony you must endure. You can accomplish anything that you desire!

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so please know that my selection (S) are just my opinion. Not right, not wrong, just my humble opinion. I have chosen my favorite designer, this young man, I feel got inside my head early on, and understood what I did not fully understand... if that makes any sense? I loved his original designs from the start of this project, and still love them.

    I hit the wrong button, dolp! Anyway... My friends that I have consulted with, all think I am crazy. I suspect they are right, but I be who I be, and I usually do odd things in the course of my life. I would like to purchase many designs from many designers. I will contact each designer individually that I feel have put much effort into this project. I cannot utilise all the designs for my intended purpose, but having options is always a good thing.

I couldn't have created this myself, I simply do not possess the skills that you all have. You should all be very proud of your accomplishments, and skill level. I am very impressed. It was like you raised the bar, each and every day, taking this to new heights.

    Selecting one design... impossible. I can't do it. From what I can see there were 227 designers that submitted 1,956 designs. I am unaware if this is normal, and is done every day, but seems pretty amazing to me. So in my twisted, demented little pea brain I have devised a way forward. Not sure if it makes sense, but I will attempt to move forward with my idea, and see what transpires.
