Graphic Design Contests

**watchitmister** · 07-01-2010, 11:25 PM

Need a Logo for my Luxury Houseboats Marketplace. This page will be used to buy and sell luxury houseboats.

There is a free option so could probably incorporate that into the design somehow. "sell your houseboat for free"

I am pretty open to ideas. I will let you know what I think needs corrected. Just keep in mind, I am dealing with luxury customers and want it to look professional.

Here are the two colors I incorporate into my website alot: 0066cc , ffcc00.

I dont plan on using the design outside of my page, but in case you need it, Luxury Houseboat Accessories is the name of my company.

Thanks. I will be checking on here constantly. Thanks.

You might want to update this thread so nobody is confused if they planned on entering: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/20-and...ouseboats.html

**Madman340** · 07-02-2010, 04:16 AM

Oh, nevermind then.

**watchitmister** · 07-02-2010, 11:30 AM

definitely would like it today....within the next 8 hours...i will be here all day

I'm working on something for you if you don't mind waiting a bit

May I ask what color the background of the website is? I'm not sure the yellow will show up very well if it's a light color.

**watchitmister** · 07-02-2010, 03:32 PM

These are the two colors I use throughout the website: 0066cc , ffcc00. Whenever I use the yellow, I make sure I put the blue around it. It makes it stand out more.

No problem. I will be available all night

How's this? Not sure if it's exactly what you were looking for or not; your first post was a bit confusing.

**lynxus** · 07-02-2010, 05:01 PM

That looks good! Great idea to meld the house and boat.

I was trying to think of a way to do it, Looks like you nailed it there

**watchitmister** · 07-02-2010, 05:08 PM

though i do like that design not quite what im looking for. I will try and be a little more specific. Just looking for something to advertise the marketplace on my website not really a logo. My website is Luxury Houseboat Accessories, but I also have a marketplace where people can buy and sell houseboats. I am going to place the winning design on my homepage and link to to the marketplace from there. Its more of a banner for the luxury houstboat marketplace than it is a logo, i guess. Sorry for the confusion

Okay. I was confused since the intro post said "logo" then the description said "layout." So this should be more like a banner with real pictures on it?

Also, how does this contest differ from your $15 one (I was looking at it earlier). Do you need a logo like the one I posted above for either?

**watchitmister** · 07-02-2010, 05:14 PM

yeah the other one, i need a logo similar to this. This is more of a banner, i guess i should have labeled different, sorry.

Would you accept the above logo for the other contest? I'd hate to see it go to waste.

**watchitmister** · 07-02-2010, 05:25 PM

yeah i will definitely consider it for the other one. A few guys are working on logos. So i can say whether or not youll win it but i like yours alot so far. Just need to mod it. The name of the company is luxury houseboat accessories. Could you throw a gold background behind it. Well the color I listed above, just to see what it looks like

we can talk about it on the other post just so we dont confuse anyone

Okay. I will put the changes and post it on the other thread.

**watchitmister** · 07-02-2010, 11:14 PM

still need a logo by tomorrow for this one. Think of it as a banner ad for buying/selling houseboats. Remember, the size is 420x260 and in jpg format. Thanks

**antivortex** · 07-03-2010, 12:20 AM

Are you looking for something like this?

**watchitmister** · 07-03-2010, 01:08 AM

something like that but the whole idea is to showcase the buying and selling of houseboats or the luxury houseboats marketplace as we call it.

I do like the design though, but not quite what im looking for. Something like List Your Luxury Houseboats.

Dont think you really need a bottom like that or maybe change the color and make it luxury houseboat marketplace instead. Somewhere in there you could put about listing your houseboat for sale for free. Targeted Buyers. No Broker Fees.

I'm not quite sure I get what you're saying.

Maybe if you could provide an example of the type of banner you're looking for?

I'm not sure where to fit in all the text; it won't show up well on a picture background. Like I said, if you could provide me with an example that would be better for me and you.
