Participate & Win: “Makeover Design Contest”
Posted in Design Contests, tagged contest, design, graphic designers, logo, makeover, printers, transparency on November 26, 2010| 1 Comment »
In the light of recent events we’ve arranged a contest for graphic and visual media designers: Set your hand to our lettering, spice up our logo and win shopping credit worth up to 400 euro!
Businesscards EXPRESS became bce-online.com, nevertheless logo and lettering till now were retained unchanged. Now however a makeover of these parts of our corporate design is overdue. As in course of years we’ve amplified our product range, since a good while we no longer simply offer just business cards. What of course remained, however, is our specialization on transparent printed products.
Briefing
Our lettering needs a complete transformation. On the one hand now it should read “bce-online.com”, on the other hand the lettering should transport the idea of transparency and regarding this aspect be intriguing. We ourselves define us as “high touch” online printers, which means that, obviously apart from the quality of our products, for us providing a proficient and friendly customer service is a prime principle. When ever you need help, one of our customer assistants will be happy to assist you (except during the night, though ;). The lettering of our logo should correspond to this human aspect of our coporate philosophy. Therefore it shouldn’t be too “clean”, but appealing. Apart from that, please consider that half of our customers are graphic designers and agencies and that the lettering should suite the taste of this professional circle. We’re sure that for you, being part of this circle, it won’t be a big deal to put yourself in the shoes of our target group 😉
Our corporate colors are green, red and gray. The lettering preferably won’t add a new color. The logo itself shouldn’t be changed fundamentally, in aspects of shadows, reflection , three-dimensionality e.g., in one word regarding the style you chose for the lettering, however, an adjustment surely will make sense.
How do you participate?
Kindly read the text on this page attentively and completly. A PDF file with the actual lettering and logo, which will be of help for your work, you can download here. Please send your artwork in EPS format to germany@bce-online.com. Entry deadline will be December 10th, 2010. By sending your artwork you declare to accept the eligibility requirements. Especially you accept that bce-online.com LLC takes all rights of use on your artwork, and has the possibility to use it also in a second moment, even when your file didn’t make it among the awarded artworks. Bce-online.com LLC will have the right to use it for printed products as well as online. Furthermore you ensure, that the submission doesn’t infringed the rights of a third person.
This is, what you can win
To the best three entries we award a shopping credit worth 400 Euro (for the 1st place) and 160 Euro (for the 2nd and 3rd place, each). From all incoming artworks an in-company jury will choose the best ones. The criteria for the jury’s decision will be the grade of professionalism in the realization of your idea as well as the grade in which we consider you design as fitting to our corporate identity. We’ll narrow down the choice and those contributions, which pass the pre-selection will be published with name and link to the artist on our blog, so that the visitors of our blog will get a vote as well.

Seeking a New Slogan
Posted in Polls, tagged Business Cards, claim, competency, free, poll, printers, slogan, transparency, voting, win, winner on January 27, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Hi everybody! We are currently looking for an appropriate catchy slogan.
First we were considering using ‘High-Touch Printing Service’, i.e. the well-established concept defining the importance of the human interaction in business transactions on the one hand, and counteracting the misuse of automation as a substitute for the ‘human touch’ on the other. Why ‘High-Touch Printing Service’? Because this model defines our approach to customer care, which next to using exclusive transparent materials helps us stand out from the crowd of printers, not to mention the online print shops. Nevertheless, as good as this line might work as a subtitle, it lacks the dynamics of an appealing slogan. Moreover, though an increasingly used term in our field, it might strike our customers as a strange technical jargon – and we don’t want to make it unnecessarily sophisticated, as it should ring a bell as soon as you hear it! This takes us to our second idea, which is focusing on our specialized transparent printing products with a slogan that sounds like: ‘…if you love it the transparent way’.
So, what do you think? You can have your say in this ‘decision-making process’. Get inside the online ‘polling booth’ and let us know your opinion on this. You can also pop in with some other new ideas not mentioned here. You might be the fortunate winner of some nice transparent business cards… and, if you like, of a presentation of your card in our showroom with a link attached. We’ll choose the idea we like best from all of your contributes.
The feedback below from our customers on our individuality is to awaken the creative muse of our new visitors, who haven’t got the chance to be ‘touched’ by our service so far:
- Gosh! What an amazing service! I’m completely astonished and will certainly recommend you to anyone interested!
- I’ve just received my business cards. They look really great!
- I’d first like to thank you for the prompt processing and the excellent communication.
- We are very thankful and appreciative for this level of customer service.
- Thanks a lot for the information and alike. I can’t stress it enough – such a service and support are quite rare. Keep it up ; )
- The service and communication were really excellent J
- It’s now two weeks that we’re using ‘your’ business cards and all of our clients and partners are enthusiastic. On one hand because they’ve never seen such kind of cards and on the other hand because the colors appear so astonishinly brilliant on the transparent substrate. Thank you for your great work!
- Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. I must admit that such great customer-oriented service remains unfortunately very seldom.
- Thank you very much – the cards look fantastic!
