Here's my attempt:

Captor of Sin: I like your concept, but goldfish are not a marine animal.

JoshChris: I REALLY like your design. Way to impress on the first try!

So what about logos...?

**JoshChris** · 09-04-2007, 07:22 PM

How about a simplified version of the banner for a logo?:

**freki** · 09-04-2007, 08:20 PM

Well when I speak of logo I'm thinking of something that could easily be scaled into a favicon. I really like your banner, but for a logo I really need something favicon-able (that's now a word haha). Even something as simple as the letters "SWT" made fancy...I try not to be too picky.

**JoshChris** · 09-04-2007, 08:43 PM

okay, I can do that. Give me an hour or so...

**JoshChris** · 09-04-2007, 09:44 PM

Okay... something like this?:

**freki** · 09-05-2007, 10:52 AM

Hey...that's pretty good. That's about the right idea yeah.

**JoshChris** · 09-05-2007, 11:04 AM

Anything I can do to make it better?

**freki** · 09-05-2007, 01:34 PM

Not off the top of my head. So far you're settin pretty on this one. I'm just curious...did you come up with all that stuff on your own or is some of it stock-type stuff? It's very impressive quality.

**JoshChris** · 09-05-2007, 01:47 PM

the fish are stock images...

**freki** · 09-06-2007, 07:56 PM

Cool, I was just curious. It doesn't change my opinion of it at all

**freki** · 09-07-2007, 06:59 PM

So are we gonna have any one else enter this one or is it a one-man competition?

**JoshChris** · 09-07-2007, 07:22 PM

hehe... lol - Let's just let it be a one-man competition :-P

**mrJC** · 10:32 PM

Alright just finished my work, here they are both banner and logo.
The logo was made at 400 x 400 and can be downsized to whatever.

MrJC: Not bad. There's a few things I would change though. The orange fish...I'd like it to look a little more marine/exotic. Maybe if it was simply changed to clownfish (similar look )? Also...I don't like the dark text. Otherwise, it's a good start

**woosh** · 09-08-2007, 08:58 PM

Okies here's my idea....

**mrJC** · 09-08-2007, 09:46 PM

Alright heres the fixed version with a clownfish instead, i actually agree with you it does look a lot better now too lol. Clownfish much seems like a much friendlier one then what i had, anyways here ya go...
