Title: Logo contest!!! Win $35!!!
Post by: sheepdog on February 24, 2013, 08:11:28 PM
Create the new logo, winner gets $35
(paid through Pay Pal only)

Due Date will be Friday (March 4th) 8PM central, however I hope to have the new site up before then, and the colors will then be adapted to integrate the logo so use any colors you want. Try to use a clear background and fit the size constraints listed in the notes.

Submit as many as you want, simply post a small low res copy (500pixels wide?) here in this thread.

This will not be voted on, I will simply pick the one I feel will work best on the new site.


Important notes:
It should be rectangular. Approximately 5:1 (five times as wide as it is tall I.E. 500 wide x 100 tall), being off some is okay. I just don't want a square or super wide rectangle.

I will need all of the files used to create it (fonts, small images, etc..), and all rights to ownership of it. This way if I need to recreate it, use parts of it to create buttons, or anything else, I can. This is a deal breaker, no files, no money.

I would prefer that the logo be high res., this way should we decide on some products, it can be put on them without a lot of hassle. The higher resolution the better.

Regarding logos:
No direct copies. We don't want any company thinking that we are trying to make people think we are them. BMW logos shouldn't be used, but something similar to a roundel is safe, just don't make it the prominent feature.

Time extended to Monday at 8 central.

I haven't been able to get the conversion software working how I want, I either lose all attachments or all passwords need to be reset. One option stinks, the other creates a massive nightmare for you guys and me. As such, there is no point in ending this before I have a working converter.

I've made a few small touch ups to my original design, message me if you'd like the source files SheepDog. Additionally It looks as though this banner and even the previous we're not large enough in width. I can correct this without stretching the banner and degrading the quality. Message me and we can iron this out.

Anyway take it or leave it, no harm no foul.
