Graphic Design Contests

**Padawan** · 02-20-2005, 04:27 PM

I'm in the process of building my site - www.info-sales.co.uk - and feel it needs a professional looking banner and logo.

Anything you produce needs to blend in with the blue on the site already.

Logo (top left corner) needs to be 150 pixels wide, the banner (running from the logo all the way across) around 775 pixels, but I have the table it will go in set to 100% so this isn't imperative. Height-wise I have 57 pixels at the moment but feel this should probably be bigger - I will listen to suggestions on that.

As for the design itself, well I'm not sure what I want other than a professional look, so there is plenty of scope to play around with it.

Best offering will receive $15 (I know it's a paltry sum for what I'm after) as long as you can accept paypal payments.

Here's an idea for the logo... feedback? I think it needs some more frills, but what do you have to say about it? I, personally like the blue/orange (not the most original, but tried & tested), but it doesn't fit with your current colour scheme so I made other iterations also.

Here's another one that uses a logo not unlike those information desk ones... If you like it, I can add more jazz to do it or try variations on colour.

carsncars I'm liking the bottom logo, like the information desk, most so far.

keep them coming folks........

i might give it a shot

**guitrmn** · 01:17 PM

Here's my attempt a the logo: I can change the colors, sizing, font...anything you need.
I will work on a banner as well.

**guitrmn** · 01:23 PM

Can't figure out how to add a second image...

They can both be seen here http://www.eval-techs.org/infosalesbanner.htm

**Padawan** · 02-22-2005, 04:27 AM

guitrmn, I really really like the logo but the banner doesn't seem to match it very well. Perhaps if you could adjust the style and colouring a little.........

**carsncars** · 12:01 AM

Here are some more... Spruced up the logo a bit, and added a simple banner. Looking at your site, I went with a cleaner, sleeker look.

...and font variations:

...and just tweaked your site's colours a bit. And added those couple head graphics.

**carsncars** · 02-23-2005, 12:40 AM

One more logo style...

**The Jasong** · 03:07 AM

Alrighty, I started making what you said and then I got sidetracked a bit

But I'll go ahead and post it anyways!

I have another version of the logo, if you like what I have below I'll upload the other version.

Comes with psd and full sized photo.

**Vicki** · 02-23-2005, 03:14 AM

Here's my first attempt at the logo:

Thank you Padawan! Thank you to all the entries, they're all great!

Now I just need to get my butt home and get you the original files...

**Padawan** · 02-26-2005, 06:55 AM

Or, Leoj, I could go to my own website and download pretty well the same package from my server that I am selling for less than half of that price !!

Less than half of $13.99 is awesome! Still, $13.99 for 1000's of templates, etc. is less than 1/2 the price of 1 template from most sites online! Looks like we both have good deals, lol!

Take care my friend
