Graphic Design Contests

**sassie-girl** · 01:11 PM

I am looking for a logo for a new coupon website. I have found and tested out a graphic from istockphoto.com that I will purchase and provide to the winner to use with the final logo. (If that's not the right way to do this, please let me know what is).

Here is the graphic: NO LONGER IN PLAY...

On the stock image, one of the ladies has her hand up in the air - would like to see if it's possible to put some "coupons" in her hand as if to show that she is traveling off with her coupons. Maybe coupons flying out the back? We do want the graphic flipped so they are traveling left to right.

Am looking to you guys to help decide whether graphic should be smaller or not, what color text to use with that site.

Other thoughts have been having some sort of tracks or exhaust or ? to show the car in motion. And maybe a sign in front of the car that says "Savings Ahead". Just ideas... anxious to see what you come up with.

Thanks for looking and entering!

PRIZE UPPED TO $40

Hello there. Here is my input but I don't know if I speak for all designers that may join this contest. I don't think it is very smart to have to many graphics on a logo, there are certain things you want to have a focus on, you mentioned adding a sign and adding coupons flying out the car. When your customer sees your logo, what do you want them to see or be the main focus?

Do you already have the stock image purchased? Also, it sounds like you want a lot of custom graphics added, I will do my best in my entry but a lot of designers usually would want to see a more prized contest for adding in their own custom graphics such as exhausts and such.

OK, thanks for the feedback. Big issue here is that we have a very limited budget for this very start-up site. I'm hoping someone will stick with us here and put something up given the following changes:

payout increased to $40
forget the car graphic and all the other stuff mentioned. Just come up with something that you feel fits the site knowing what you know. pink/brown theme.

thanks!

Okay well I guess I'll start things off, let me know what you think.

Nice on MrNova.

Currently busy on work so don't have much time, but will post a design asap.

Ugh, due to the negativity on this contest, I am just going to close it and go elsewhere. I've even gotten PMs over this and just don't feel like it's worth my time to continue it. Thank you for whatever work has been done already on this.
