Hi,

I'm after a few banner designs to use for www.notsounknown.co.uk, the full site will be launching next week. I am looking for mainly 468x60 designs but would also like 125x125, 120x60, 88x31 and 120x600. I am willing to pay for each one that I like, $10 for 468x60 and 120x600 and $5 for the other sizes (via PayPal). I know this isn't much but you are free to submit as many designs as you like as we want quite a few.

You are pretty much free to do what you want as I can't really come up with any ideas. You can get the site's logo from www.notsounknown.co.uk/images/NSU_logo.png, feel free to mess around with it for the banners, ideally I would like to keep a similar colour scheme.

The site is for unsigned bands to sell their music in MP3 format so I will be advertising the site to 2 different audiences. 1) Unsigned bands 2) People to buy the MP3s. I have a few slogans that I would like included (if you can come up with any others or something without them it is fine as long as I like it!);

1 - For the bands;

Unsigned bands...
Wanna screw over the record companies?
Sell your music with notsounknown.co.uk

2 - For the customers;

NotSoUnknown.co.uk
The alternative MP3 download site

3 - For the customers;

Listen to and download tracks by some of the UK's best unsigned alternative artists


The site also offers free downloads, message boards, articles, radio, gig guide, gallery, reviews and more. Feel free to add this to designs if you like.

Banners can be animated or static and I would prefer .gif although may take any good .swf's.

Due to recent problems with people not paying for designs please WATERMARK all images so I cannot be accused of doing this!

The 'contest' is over the weekend (from now until around 8AM GMT on Monday 14th March). I will keep the post updated with any designs that I would like to buy. Any questions or whatever please post here.

So, get designing, lets see what you can come up with...

Many Thanks
Simon

Nice one, I like the way you've used the headphones for the dots. The only thing is, it doesn't explain what the site is or anything.

Static images are visual images that do not move

grammapecos; "obviously watermarked(they are trust me LOL)." - Is there some neat trick you're using here?

Sorry, I should have been clearer the 120x600's are meant to be skyscrapers. Did I put the dimensions round the wrong way?

Look foward to seeing some more.

Sorry I'm a few hours late closing this one, I was tied up earlier. As there seems to have only been 1 taker so far I will be extending the deadline another 48 hours from now. So it will close at 17.00 GMT on Wed 16th.

Thanks
Simon

Still no takers? I've been busy fixing my PC after a crash today so have not had time to check this.

As much as I don't want to I'm going to extend a little further until Friday 18th at about 17:00 GMT.

I hope that someone might have something by then!

As I said in the original post I am mainly looking for 468x60 banners, I thought I would allow people to design them for other sizes as well if they wanted to as I am not just after one banner but want a few, hence I would not be picking just one winner but will be purchasing each one that I liked.

To simplify, please only submit 468x60 banners now, unless you have started one a different size of course.
