Graphic Design Contests

**bige2533** · 03-10-2010, 12:59 PM

I'm looking for a banner ad that will be displayed on other sites. I would like it to include the site name (trailsticker.com), a couple examples of the stickers, and something that lets customers know sticker prices will be $3.99 through the end of April. Feel free to add any additional verbage that you think will enhance the banner ad. Animated gifs are ideal but will consider jpeg file types. The maximum file size is 35k. First time posting in the contest section. Let me know, if you have any questions. I'll be checking the site frequently to provide feedback on the designs.

Slightly bigger than 35k but I accidentally saved as a png so it will be lower in jpg

**bige2533** · 03-12-2010, 11:52 AM

Great. I definitely like the look. Can you show me a couple more with different fonts for just the "TRAILSTICKER.com"?

**Bakerbaker1-9** · 03-12-2010, 01:35 PM

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it. Here are a few more font variations (serif and sans-serif)

**RobK** · 03-13-2010, 12:51 AM

I will give it a shot.

**bige2533** · 03-15-2010, 01:51 AM

Thanks, right now I think I prefer it with the original font.

Well, thanks for the feedback. If you'd like to see any other variations just let me know

i'll give it a try...

**Madman340** · 03-17-2010, 12:43 AM

Here's my go. Hope you like it.

(on the final state, "sample" pops up, wouldn't be on what I give you)

**fromthehip** · 03-17-2010, 04:36 AM

I tried to go with a more rugged outdoorsy look, hope you enjoy:

**bige2533** · 03-17-2010, 12:32 PM

I think the animated entries do draw a little more attention to the banner.

Bakerbaker, is it possible to make the $3.99 part flashing or have the entire "All Stickers $3.99 through the end of April" flashing?

**Hazard** · 03-17-2010, 02:28 PM

my try...

**bige2533** · 03-18-2010, 01:06 PM

Here's a couple comments on the animated designs.

Hazard, it looks like that file is too large for my requirements. I need it to be under 35kb.

fromthehip, I like the ovals going from left to right but I don't care for the font of the Trailsticker.com on the right hand side.

Thanks for the feedback. Here's my revision:

I kept the original concept, used your websites font, and changed the background to a sketch I did in Illustrator. Don't mean to jump the gun but as I kept looking at it it seemed too Hitchcock-esque. All feedback is dearly appreciated.

ok here it is one with 17kb size

**bige2533** · 03-20-2010, 08:11 PM

I definitely like the new background a lot more!

Sorry for the delay in getting these done but here are both examples with flashing text

**bige2533** · 03-23-2010, 11:11 PM

fromthehip, one last change please. Can you make the trailsticker.com part stand out a little more? The beginning "t" gets lost in the trees in the background. Thanks

I like the prior one with all the colors in the background. And since we're at the deadline. I'd like to declare the winner. It was a tough decision as I liked more than one and I appreciate all who submitted an entry.

The winner is fromthehip's entry. I will send you a PM to get your info to send payment and have you send the files.
