AlanS 1 #1 September 20, 2014 Hello, I've stated a poll to design a logo for a product I'm working on. The link is: http://99designs.com/logo-design/vote-pk8sm2 The project will let a user use there cell phone as a remote control when presenting PowerPoint or Keynote foils. All you need to do is upload your foils to your DropBox account and have the software installed on the machine (not yours) connected to the projector. Then it will figure out that your cell phone is the remote control to go forwards and backward through the file in addition to displaying your private slide notes to yourself. The part of the logo design contest is focused on JUST the icon as a concept. After the concepts are selected, the next phase will be on making the entire logo look nice. So for this poll, do worry about the color scheme or text or polish. Just look at "the icon as a concept" to see if it conveys what the project will be doing. I would appreciate anyone that looks at the poll and gives feedback. I'll have a few more during the next few days. Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #2 September 20, 2014 AlanS Hello, I've stated a poll to design a logo for a product I'm working on. The link is: http://99designs.com/logo-design/vote-pk8sm2 Made you a clicky. I like #168 the best, but I have no idea what a foil is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiverMike 5 #3 September 20, 2014 I've never heard of a foil either, but I like 164 For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,372 #4 September 20, 2014 In geek speak; it's a form of touchpad. Not unlike a keyboard membrane that you place on a table. The Surface Pro keypad is a type of "foil." Having said that, you both bring up a bigger issue for consideration regarding, "Branding." ETA: I too; chose 164.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that, you both bring up a bigger issue for consideration regarding, "Branding." And I still have no idea what a foil is. I vote #97, 'cause I do know what a cloud is, and I assume that's where you're sending this hypothetical 'foil' thing. Don"When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band.

AlanS 1 #7 September 22, 2014 In this case a "foil" is a "slide" in a PowerPoint presentation. The reason it is not called "slide" is I couldn't find a short domain name for sale with the term "slide" in it. So, when this web-site is up in a few weeks it will be called www.sendfoils.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Yes, the idea is if you create a PowerPoint presentation, you can upload it to your DropBox account. Now if the computer connected to the projector has my software on it, all you need to do is bring your smart-phone to the room with you. You type in a code (to identify it is as you) select which PowerPoint presentation to show. It then downloads it to that computer, and you can then use your phone (iPhone or Android or Blackberry) as a remote control to go forward and backwards in the presentation. You don't even need to have to log into the local WiFi network. If it detects that you are not connected to WiFi it use the cell phone network to send commands to that machine.

AlanS 1 #9 September 22, 2014 New poll here: http://99designs.com/logo-design/vote-uby11d Thank you to everyone that looked at the poll and let me know which ones were your favorites. I'm now on day 4 of this logo design contest and it is time to select 6 of the 33 designers to make it to the final round. I've created a second poll with 8 designs from different designers and would appreciate it if anyone can take a look and vote. The best way to vote is select your favorite design and give that one 5 stars. Then just as important select the WORST design and give that one one star. For all the other design give those between 2 and 4 stars based on how they compare to others. If you like you can call add comments for any design to describe what you like or dislike about them. Here is a link to the poll. http://99designs.com/logo-design/vote-uby11d The feedback is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #10 September 22, 2014 Not to pooh pooh your idea, but I thought bluetooth projectors were already on the market - in which case all you need is powerpoint on your phone (which already exists in app form)...
