Header/Logo Contest for Au Pairs Site $30
Old 07-03-2008, 02:12 PM Header/Logo Contest for Au Pairs Site $30 - WINNER announced

I need a new logo/header for my website - http://www.aupairsunite.com

This website is for Au Pairs from many different countries who have come to America through many different Au Pair agencies to help American families care for their children. It is a way for them to find each other, share information about how to make their time here easier and more fun and to share lodging when traveling the country, etc. Au Pairs are typically female, however there are some male Au Pairs. They are between the ages of 18-26.

Here is the current logo/header which I am not crazy about because it is very hard to read the text and I don't really care for the logo on it. The template itself is red/white/blue, I don't know that I want to keep so much flag in the header.



I am actually pretty open to what I'll consider. The current template I am using is red/white/blue - but I would consider changing that too. Especially if the winner of this contest is also a template designer.

I would like for there to be a logo of sorts as well as the name Au Pairs Unite! on the header. I would like to see what you can also come up with for adding the "Uniting Au Pairs Across America" in there too. I would like to have the logo in a separate PSD file that I can change to any size for including on logo merchandise in the future. But I'd like it incorporated into the header file (PSD, JPG as well) for the top of the site.

Please let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks for your time!

I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with!

Color Scheme: red, white & blue - willing to consider others   Type of Design: Logo   Desired Dimensions: vector/resizable 500x100   Desired Filetypes: psd, jpg   Prize: $30   How prize will be delivered: PayPal   End Date: when I see something I love! :)

Good post, very informative. One thing - you want it to be vector/resizable, yet the two filetypes are not vector.

Thanks Harry! Shows how much I know about that! lol

OK - so I guess what I want is a logo that is vector/resizable, but to have that image then also incorporated into a header image that is not. Is that correctly put?

Thank you Katesrobin! A great first submission!

One thing - it's AuPairsUnite.com - not UniteAuPairs.com

I like the logo with the "people" of different colors - nice!

I'm thinking thinner letters would be better - perhaps just because the old logo is so chunky you can't read well at all.

I am anxious to see what some other folks come up with as well.... hope everyone has a nice holiday!

Thank you everyone so far! Here are some comments...

go0t: the people on the earth was semi-interesting, but the image in general was pretty plain to me. Thanks for your entry!

universifier: You also have an interesting take on the logo - I like that the varying people are actually on the American flag - speaks well to the site's purpose. I don't care for the green font - the red one is ok. I'm not crazy about the corner graphics either.

katesrobyn: Your design is still my favorite so far. It seems trendy and cool. I actually liked it better when the words spanned the entire header. Even though I can tell you used a skinnier font, it became harder to read because it was in a smaller space. But on the second set, I do like how you included the "Uniting Au Pairs Across America" slogan. This may be a long shot, but is there a chance that you could find a group of people that is more female? I love this concept, but this one seems like there are mostly males which isn't quite the population of this site.


I would still *really* like to see some other takes on this before making a final decision.
