Graphic Design Contests

**Scriptz** · 08-14-2006, 09:58 PM

Hi there guys.

I currently have a site that needs a logo with the size 150px by 635px as it will need to fit the default size of the Joomla installation. I also would like just a normal size logo to use for othetr things such as banners and business cards etc.

The name of the temporary site is Hacker 5 and can be found at hacker5.com/public. The name will change in the very near future so please keep in mind that the logo will need to have the ability to change it's name to a slightly longer one.

The site is about teaching people to protect thier networks and how hackers think and act. It will also provide games where you will have opportunity to hack legally into servers bought just for that.

The logo I am currently have in mind would be dark in nature. Something similiar to Black Hat Briefings, Training and Consulting logo. What I'm thinking is a man hunched over his laptop/computer with maybe the screen shining in his face however the whole logo is all black.

If you think you can do better than that or have a better design then please by all means show your creativity.

The prize is $20, if I'm really impressed with the quality, then I can up the prize to $30.

I think the deadline will be within a week unless I'm happy with a design before that then it may end sooner.

Hi. Here is my first entry. The logo can be easily modified for a larger word. I created a separate header and added to the right side of it. That can all be removed if you would rather it not be there or changed if you would like something different. Thanks!

I like it, it's a good design. I like the title font and the colors. The person seems to have a levitating keyboard and mouse which I'm not sure if you can fix that. Also I like the glow from the monitor but it doesn't appear it's actually coming from the monitor.

The key picture doesn't really work for me sorry but I do like the slogan.

Thanks
Shane

How's this?

**snk123** · 08-15-2006, 12:49 AM

im going to post one shortly

jackieh1791: The second one looks empty now, too much space. I like the brighter glow but can you make it darker near the feet? I don't think the feet needs to be seen.

Maybe even try to put a circle around the person and the computer. Think that might enhance it a bit?

SNK123: Thanks, looking forward to it.

Thanks for the concept skippytim. I looks good and I like how the lock is used for the A. There is a lot of blank space and I think it needs more than one color, needs more features, maybe more 3d looking?

It needs that professional feel to it.

Sure, let me play around with it.

Some exploit and payload use in the background.

**skippytim** · 08-15-2006, 03:59 PM

Does this appeal more to you? Its as 3d and professional as it gets:

I'll have to clean up that lock; it looks messier than it did in Photoshop.

eyequizzle: Another impressive piece of art. I am impressed with the work you have done too. Again the 5 kind of makes it a bit harder to change the name. Can you try making the 5 either a red or yellow? I want to see what that looks like. Very good.

skippytim: It does look much better but there still a bit too much empty space. Maybe by increasing the size of the man so his legs aren't showing and just his waist up look better and fill up more room? Not sure
