Graphic Design Contests

**Gaffer Sports** · 10-16-2008, 07:53 AM

I am looking for a logo/banner for a site that I never got around to starting but now feel I can do something with. The concept is simple, it is a site for PC and Console addicts and not simply for gamers - news and discussion.

Name: pcandconsole.com

I do not like animation in any of my graphics, so please be aware of that from the outset.

Although I have not been active in seeking graphics on WT for a while, all members who have done work for me before are open to participate.

I am giving you a blank canvas on this one, so enjoy!

Note: As like previous contests I have ran here, the winner will most likely be asked for other graphics within the theme at a later date, on agreement of price.

Well I didnt know if you were looking for more of a simple logo and a crazy one, so I'll start if off with this crazy one. Feedback appreciated.

**Gaffer Sports** · 10-16-2008, 08:45 PM

You make a valid point.

I am more so contemporary than gaming/cartoon.

Therefore, I would love to see a contemporary banner that indicates a wonderful world that includes PC's and Consoles, and maybe even Macs. Gaming is definately not the major attraction/keyword to this site.

By the way, for what it is worth - I loved your animal care logo attempt:

That is not a bad effort but I do not like the lightning effects that are splattered around the graphic.

If you introduced a Logo'esque right side filler rather than text, I would love it, and maybe a Wii graphic

I know you are trying your best mate but none of those right sided ideas are jumping at me. Again, they seem to be a last minute addition to very good graphics work on the left hand side and overall banner.

This might just be me as I am clearly not a graphics man

**MrNova** · 10-19-2008, 03:21 AM

Well, I like doing graphics so its no problem to me, I just have no idea what your looking for. You have to give me some idea of what a good logo to you would be.

**gilmojoman** · 10-19-2008, 03:48 AM

My concept with a variant
*Watermarked

**MrNova** · 10-19-2008, 05:44 PM

Alright, so hers another go at it.

**Mark Henderson** · 10-19-2008, 07:04 PM

Sure is a lot of work for $25 MrNova - I personally wouldnt do this many revisions even for a client... Will of the warrior, you sure deserve it, haha.

**007G** · 10-21-2008, 04:45 PM

Actually, you'd be surprised how easy it is to do any of those banners...It's all about copy & pasting...First get yourself some clipart (any kind, based on the subject your working on) then just open your graphics program, create a BLANK banner in the size you want, and paste things into it...You'd be surprised how good a banner comes out...It's all a breeze. Believe me...Of course, don't ever forget about the Font... 1001 Free Fonts should do just fine for that.

Tip: One sneaky trick in all graphics programs is the Edit -> Paste Into feature...Ex: You have an image of a beautiful plasma tv, and you want the image on the screen replaced with one you want...You simply use the selection tool and use copy / paste into and there you go. Of course, you don't think they actually draw those images, do you? They just goto a pc site, and steal the images...If anything, you advertising that machine in the banner for them, not stealing it.
