hi don i kind of took this idea from your original logo....thx

Hi Dave,

That's nice!

Can you make the black background white or a lighter color? I think the black may be too much, which is one reason I wanted a new design.

Thanks everyone, I'll try and get all these posted to my blog over the weekend and see what my readers think. These are excellent and I appreciate you taking the time to submit them.

I'll come back here after the I get reader feed back and let you know who the winner is.

While we wait can we get some feedback of ur own personal oppinions on each of are banners?

**Scarface1429** · 08-21-2007, 12:17 AM

Any updates?

**Popeye** · 08-21-2007, 09:02 AM

Okay, I have them posted up on my website now. By the way, if any of you want a link back to your personal or company design website, let me know and I'll post it under your entry on my site.

As for feedback, here are my thoughts off the top of my head.

@UMXCA - I like both designs. I think the one with the lighter background is the better of the two.

@Scareface1429 - I like this entry quite a bit. I could do without the ribbon on the left, but this design is creative and I like the "eye" thing with the icon.

@giche - Very creative. I like the blue in the background of your first entry but the word "watcher" nearly blends in with the background and is kinda hard to make out. May be just my monitor though.

The second entry is more clean and simple. I also like the animated one, but I don't do animated logo's! LOL

@Critizin - Nice work. Very simple and clean. One of my favorites.

Just my input....it kind of seems like no one is getting original with their designs here. Scarface seems to be the only one.

**Critizin** · 08-22-2007, 02:25 PM

Freki all scareface did was take a picture off the internet and add some fonts!! i didnt want to bring this up but im now going 2 Popeye dont you think you would want something that isnt stolen off the internet... just makes the site look cheap. everyone else that submitted a entry here spent time to make what they made all scarface did was take a cartoon of a guy looking out a ripped newspaper off the internet (Stolen) then add font while i had to do all the effects same as the others....

**Scarface1429** · 05:38 PM

@Critizin - its not stolen, it is a modified clipart and those are 100% free to use. The text effect and banner are both Web 2.0 and do take talent to make. People are liking mine a lot on the message board. Even tho the 4 people that voted for you came from the same IP Address. Also they were all your feedback was submitted by you - hence why they are all within a 5 minute time range.

Good Luck!

Ok - you can have your friends vote.

BUT

He is using a simple comment script - you can easily get IP's through cache.

**Critizin** · 08-22-2007, 05:57 PM

yes and i just looked not the same ip addresses at all.. -_-
cliparts might be 100% free to use but really why would u use it? something like that clipart is really really really easy to make why didnt u just hand make it instead of copy and paste.. i wish i got paid 30$ for copying and pasting stuff... as for the font and the ribbon that is like 1.5 minutes of actual work.

No not really. Took me 45 minuets. And the clipart didn't look like that. I had to make adjustments. Let the people decides and stfu because you are flamming the thread and will probably get warned for it.
