Graphic Design Contests

**MGB** · 04-25-2006, 11:48 PM

Hello! Looking to implement more of a website design for a paid survey portal that I've started (it is currently bloggish and unorganized, so you can't see it. I don't want you to be influenced by the ugliness of the colors). I don't like a techy or gamesite type feel. I like simple looks with bold colors.

I have no request for any specific images; feel free to get creative, but the logo text should read:
go get paid!

Specifically, I like these colors:
#3cc5e7 (blue)
#d9b742 (gold)
#f40e0e (red)
#91e568 (green)

The size should be no larger than 400x150.

I'd like to have something by Monday 4/30. If you need more details, please ask here or PM me. Payment will be via Paypal or money order. Thanks!

Here's a logo that I put together, just 2 variations.

Okay I'll give it a quick try. Feedback welcome.

Hi, DianeD - LOVE the first one. This is what I had in mind. (The first one. The second is cute, but I like the first one better.) Most of the brightness with the red was lost with the shading or whatever (I'm a graphic design newb- I don't know what to call it), can you remove or lessen the shading so the red pops out a little more?

Bitzerotech, yours is nice too, but I wasn't really looking for a banner and it doesn't have as much color as I like. Thank you for trying, though

Let me know how I can improve it, or if its totally not waht you're looking for.

170Designs, both of those are great, but not as bold as I'd like. I also prefer lower case or only first letter capitalized. I'm not big on all caps.

Kawachad188: The first is a nice design, but I like simple (plain) fonts and those aren't quite the colors I was after. The second set- with the character.. I don't really like them at all. I do like the last set (the circle), but not as much color as I'd like. I want something that looks a little more fun, similar to what both 170Designs and Diane have posted. Thank you for trying, though.

Fourtone87: Thanks for trying, but I wanted something with more color.

Can you explain more on what you consider "bold"?

Thanks,
Matt

**MGB** · 04-28-2006, 11:06 PM

Hi, Matt. I apologize for my lack of terminology when it comes to graphic design. By bold, I meant brighter and/or darker- just for the text to pop out a little more. The red check is very bold and the color of the text seems a little washed out next to it. An outline around the text might make it appear more 'bold'.

**170 Designs** · 04-29-2006, 01:17 AM

Any better?

Matt

**MGB** · 04-29-2006, 11:01 AM

Yes, love it

Ending the contest now! Thanks to everyone who submitted. I'm going to go with the last design by 170Designs and the first design by DianeD.

Matt & Diane: Can you both PM me your paypal address? (or mailing address if you prefer money order) Thanks bunches to you both!
