Graphic Design Contests

**spiralfive** · 08:55 AM

I'd like to see if you guys could make a better logo that I can (you probably can

) for WikiSchool. The winner will get a free .com, .net, .info, .biz, .us, .ws, or .org domain name from 1and1 (registered through me). All logos are accepted, but I've been wondering for a long time if anyone knows to make a logo like the Skype logo or picpix.com. That would be awesome. Of course, like I said, all logos are appreciated. WikiSchool (http://www.wikischool.be/) is an open-source general purpose wiki used to store tutorial like lessons for a wide range of topics, focusing on k12 schools and webmaster topics.

The logo should have a solid background (ex: gray), it will be placed at the top of the page like this: http://yd8.info/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page (with better design). I'll also add a credit to the WikiSchool about page honoring the winner for designing the logo. Also, it should say "WikiSchool.be" in big text (main), and have "yd8.info's" at the top of that, much smaller. So, it should say "yd8.info's WikiSchool.be".

Wow, no one?

**zemadz** · 03-21-2006, 09:59 AM

I'm sure there will be plenty of entries.
At least expect one from me soon.

**zemadz** · 03-21-2006, 12:26 PM

Ok, here's the first one. Is this the "Skype" kind of style you've wanted:

**zemadz** · 03-21-2006, 01:13 PM

I adjusted it with your wishes in your post.

**spiralfive** · 03-21-2006, 04:01 PM

I like your's zemadz. Could you make the white text bolder/bigger, and the border/stroke a little thinner? Also, could you make the glare effect contrast more (brighter)? Oh, and a white background is fine. You can leave "yd8.info's" off.

**zemadz** · 03-21-2006, 04:46 PM

Is this one better?

**moto526** · 03-21-2006, 09:22 PM

Is this one still going on?
I'll work on one for you...

**spiralfive** · 03-22-2006, 05:11 PM

moto526: Sure is.

zemadz: That looks great. So far, unless anyone can beat that, you are the winner.

And, to make sure there is a clear end time, the contest is over Friday at 1:00 PM.

**SpottyDog** · 03-23-2006, 07:13 AM

Heres my entry

can be customisd if you like

**spiralfive** · 03-23-2006, 08:28 AM

Hmmn... I like it. Take off the shadow effect and you'll be in the lead.

**SpottyDog** · 09:17 AM

When does this comp end?

I've got some new ones for you with different fonts:

**SpottyDog** · 03-23-2006, 12:11 PM

Here we go... More for you to look at.

Of course all the images can be added to different fonts with different colour etc.
Basically you can customise these how you like. If you want different images, let me know

Cheers

**spiralfive** · 03-23-2006, 03:39 PM

Wow, these are getting really good.

It's getting hard to choose a winner.

I really like these two, though:

If these are easy to make, I'd like who ever wins to make me one for 2 other sites (using the same font, effects, etc.). I'll try to make the award better, perhaps 6 free months of hosting at Outhost.org, a free domain, and 10 (SEO friendly, One-Way) backlinks to your site on 10 different PR3+ web directories.

**spiralfive** · 03-23-2006, 08:53 PM

I think i'm going to end this early, and declare two winners: SpottyDog and zemadz.

SpottyDog, reply with the domain you'd like and nameservers. zemadz: make me the following logos (with no shadow, just like the ones in the post before SpottyDog's) and i'll buy you a domain also:

yd8.net - orange
yd8.info - green
qio.be - blue
takebacktheweb.be - orangeish-yellow

Thanks for your help guys.

**SpottyDog** · 07:19 AM

Hi, I'm going to register your domain in a few minutes. Could you make me 1 more logo, like this one....

... except using #FF1C66 as the background color, a bright pink text color, and have the text say: "the dirty blog".

Now I'm going to go buy your domain name.

Oh yeah, about the nameservers , please visit Outhost.org to update them in the future.

**SpottyDog** · 03-24-2006, 02:14 PM
