Graphic Design Contests

**K22** · 10-25-2005, 08:01 AM

My new website needs a logo that will be kick azz. It needs to have a look that makes people WANT to own a baseball cap or t-shirt with the logo on it.

Give the site a look: http://www.justraise.com Disregard the bug playing cards and the ace jumping up at the top.

I NEED SOMETHING THAT WILL BLOW PEOPLE'S MINDS!

If you provide me with a great logo and concept for marketing I will forever give you credit and a link to your business somewhere near the logo on the front page. Or, I will gladly pay you $$ for your design. I will NOT pay cash up front for NOTHING but a promise to make a logo. Been there and done that and was not happy.

I think I have a few ideas, I will post tonight

**Xnhlfan** · 11:40 AM

theres my attempt... XD

here it is on a t-shirt

here it is on a baseball cap

Thanks for the try, but that is not what I am looking for. It needs to be a powerful logo that will apply accross the board.

See this banner and look at where the bug playing cards is. I want to replace the bug with a new logo that will be good for ball caps t-shirts. etc..

To make things even clearer so someone can help. Here is my header image. I want the bug on the left replaced with a logo and a variation of that same logo can be used for the "Team JR" jumping spade on the right.

Actually the smart thing to do would be to save the above header to your graphics program and just use that as a template as it will have to fit into that anyway for brand name recognition.

Let me add some more thoughts to even help you zero in closer on what can work. I think the above graphics are too immature and appeal to a 'cartoon crowd' and may be potentially drawing kids into playing online poker, which I do not want. I want to create a logo that is more of an adult theme. A logo with class. A logo that makes your eye naturally look at it and not be tacky or hard to digest. My mind is locked up at the moment and that is why I am putting it out for anyone interested.

How much are you offering on this?

**K22** · 10-25-2005, 05:52 PM

**0beron** · 10-25-2005, 06:34 PM

This the sort of thing you want?

Rather than eat up all the bandwidth on this forum, you can reply at this thread.

**0beron** · 10-25-2005, 08:44 PM

Or this, one for the left graphic and one for the right:

The left one keeps the basic graphic from the full header, and the right one creates a creature from the same shape to replace the grey spade with eyes from the old header. The right one is a tad on the experimental side but hey...

**K22** · 10-25-2005, 08:58 PM

OK, the right side of the header is finalized. $50 was awarded for this. The left side is still up for grabs.

**dcahrakos** · 10-25-2005, 10:12 PM

ill see what I can so, so just the left side, where the bug is playing with the cards is the space where it will go?

Correct!

**dcahrakos** · 10:46 PM

well, heres what I came up with, I used the bug without cards in one of them, although I dont really like it, I just tried it out., then poker chips in the other, then nothing in the last one, so if you like it but not whats behind it, then you have have the psd, or I can change it for you to whatever you want

**MissLee** · 06:32 AM

Feedback is welcome & appreciated.

Here's the logo & as it would appear on a tee-shirt.

And here's the banner header:

Just realized I left out the bit about the JR Team headquarters...will be happy to add that or make any other changes. Also just realized that you've since nailed down the middle and right. Well, let me know if you can use any of it, I'm flexible.

**everlastingeye** · 10-26-2005, 06:33 AM

thats very good!

**K22** · 10-26-2005, 06:53 AM

Yes, that is a great effort, but what I am looking for is just something to replace the "bug playing cards" at the moment.

I am happy with the middle text, and the right side logo for the Team JR was given $50 for his design. The left side is still up for grabs for $50.

See this: http://www.justraise.com/template_header.htm

I do like very much the concept of "The Card on Fire"

Maybe a pair of aces that are flying through the air with simple flames or an indication of speed or movement?

NOTE: I am happy with the white space in the header. I don't want it to look "too busy."
