Hi,

I did these up for you.

These are both .png one is 265x83 for your website. The other is a smaller altered version for your business cards etc. The text on the right can be changed to your liking.

The .psd is available as well.

Cheers

Wow some great submissions.

Cambridge I like the simplicity and modern feel of yours.

Sparkylinked you have totatally nailed my biz with the background that looks like a decorative finish, the column. Unfortunetly, every other decorative artist is using the column and I am looking for something different.

Gx3 Grafix I like the direction you are going. Don't care for the colors.

Thank you for your submissions.

Here's my first try:

I messed up the colors a bit, but it could be improved, if you like the idea...

**aatiis** · 11-14-2007, 09:46 AM

Oh, and sorry, I forgot the 's' in "designs". I was a bit hasty... I'll fix it.

**sparkylinked** · 11-14-2007, 10:23 AM

Yes, the first thing that popped into mind was a column, like everyone else.

Well I heard you mention the words simple, so i did a remake of the original.
2 toned the Faux, and added a little shadow to make them split nicely.

Cheers

I'll change the colours and see what happens. Just so you know, my logo has a transparent background. The background I posted with is just the background from your site where the word 'dimensions' is and where I figured the logo would go. ; )

**katers** · 11-14-2007, 12:21 PM

Ok, thank you. Using it for the website is of course important, but not a priority. The most important is having it for print ads, business cards and t-shirts.

Here is one I used for a while which I like, but it was never in a format that I could use and the colors didn't show well for things, nor were they the right colors. I also thought some kind of graphic added would have been great for especially a t-shirt, although I could be wrong about that.

Same design For web:

**aatiis** · 11-14-2007, 02:13 PM

Wow G3x Grafix, you don't seem to watermark your entries, even though they're quite large. Should I consider myself out of competition?

**Gx3 Grafix** · 10:21 AM

I usually do but I've been talking with katers, this is not the first contest and I believe that we've built up enough trust. It's case by case for me really, if someone wants to steal a logo bad enough, a watermark isn't going to stop them. The images may be large but they are saved for web and not in vector format which will be needed for this contest as it is going to be for print.

Thank you for your concern though.

Thanks Kimberly, no worries about me using something without paying for it. It isn't like no one knows where to find me, lol.

I like how you made the word art bigger, very eye catching. I don't care for the squigley line.

I need to go out of town today for an emergency and will be back in a couple of days. I will narrow down my choices by then. It is going to be hard because there are things I like about all of them. Something I wasn't expecting. You are welcome to submit more if you would like.
