The design should bit in with our overall brand and should use colours safe for print. Would also be nice to have our site address on www.csnewmedia.co.uk

Hey cs49. I am currently working on a design, and I was wondering if you know what font you used in your logo? I've been able to match it pretty close, but I'd like to know for sure. Thanks!

**cs49** · 11-23-2006, 06:52 PM

Thanks, I'm not too sure. I think it could be in the Myriad font range. I could be wrong though.

**Daniel Cummins** · 11-23-2006, 06:57 PM

I gave one a go :

**TrentonD** · 11-23-2006, 07:11 PM

Okay, I will check for any better-matching fonts in a little bit. But for now, here are 3 variations that I just completed. There's not a whole lot too them, but I feel thats what a mouse mat should be like. Of course, I am willing to make any changes to any of these designs. If you chose one of my designs to be the winner, I will remove the small watermark, and will send you all required file formats.

I appreciate all comments and criticism! Thanks!

Can do edits on all of these BTW

**jason_bristol** · 11-23-2006, 08:21 PM

Here is my attempt.

Just to note. The back ground glare was done by me and the font used is Myriad. I have a PSD copy at 24.5 x 20 at 150 dpi.

Thought I'd see what my designs looked like on a gray mat instead of white. Here they are:

There was some quality loss, but that's because they are only average-quality JPEG's. The psd's are still fine.

**borzoid** · 11-23-2006, 10:54 PM

I used the background pattern off your header for this. Full size is much better quality.

**TrentonD** · 11-23-2006, 11:28 PM

Hey borzoid, I was just about to try using the same background in another design of mine, but you beat me to it. Do you mind if I use the same idea?

Thanks

go for it TrentonD

**Skorpija** · 11-24-2006, 08:37 AM

cs49. Maybe just an idea.

I think there should be a good reason for people to use your mousepath instead of the normal one they have.

Here where i work they did it rather smart. They also put some helpdesk phone number on it. (actually several important phone numbers for users)

**Paige with an i** · 11-24-2006, 09:20 PM

Added the website!

**TrentonD** · 11-25-2006, 04:15 PM

Hey cs49, I was wondering if you have chosen a winner or not? You said the contest was going to close last night, but it seems like you haven't visited back yet.

**Daniel Cummins** · 11-28-2006, 01:57 PM

is this over or not?

**TrentonD** · 11-29-2006, 03:44 AM

Well I guess thats some work gone down the drain...

**borzoid** · 11-29-2006, 10:56 AM

A quick not to say that my sites are down (host is down too). and that is where my images are stored. I will load all of my images to picture trail or some such as soon as I get home from the office, even if my site's problem is resolved.
