$75 Logo and Header contest - Football (Soccer) Site

[goal442]

Hello Everyone,
I recently started a contest and was hoping that I would find a logo and header that would be perfect for my site - www . futbolwallpapers . com
But unfortunately none of the designs where what I was looking for.
And I'm assuming the reason for that was the small budget that I had set up for the contest.
Link to previous contest: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1150608

Now I have decided to start a new contest for the same purpose but with a higher budget. And I hope that I can attract more talented designers this time.

My site is about football (soccer) wallpapers.
When it comes to colors, I'm going to leave it up to you.(preferably matching the entire sites colors).
The domain name "FutbolWallpapers.com" must be shown in the logo.

Logo width: maximum 270px
Logo height: maximum 90px
The header background should be maximum 900px in width and 150px in height.

Here are two examples of what I'm looking for (NOT a requirement):
Logo example: http://voetbalwedstrijden.net/img/logo.png
Header example: http://www.goal442.com/misc/header-sample.jpg

This is my least favorite part of the contest, but I still need to advise you:
If I do not get a logo that I find good enough, I reserve the right not to pick a winner.

Now to my favorite part of the contest:
The $75 prize will be paid to the winner by PayPal.

Please post all your designs and messages in this thread. Do not send me any PMs.

Good Luck to all!

[twizzlers]

Interested in submitting a design -

Is there any way the logo could be bigger? 270 width is kinda small especially when 'futbol wallpapers' is such a long domain name. There's lot of space in the header for a bigger logo

[goal442]

adishpatel - thank for trying, but all three logos are way off.

V99 - I love the background with Ronaldinho, C. Ronaldo and Rooney. Is there any way you can bring all three players to the right side and have the logo on the left side by it self. Also if you can come up with a different logo. If possible, I would like to see a logo similar to this one http://voetbalwedstrijden.net/img/logo.png or even the logo that I have on my site right now - http://www.futbolwallpapers.com/images/logo-2.png Also please try to keep the logo to about 260px by 80px.....Thank you.

[goal442]

twizzlers - I would prefer to have it about 260px just like the one that I have on my site right now - http://www.futbolwallpapers.com/images/logo-2.png - but if you really have to make it bigger, then feel free to do so.

[Gladiatus]

Wait my entry please.. I will post it soon

[goal442]

reezluv - I will probably keep the contest going until the end of this week.
reezluv - You are the first person to understand what I'm looking for. A logo that can stand by it self and the header background that matches the sites theme and goes with the logo. You got the concept, but the design is still not making me fall in love with it.

sheriffonline - Thanks for your new designs. The background is good, but I need a logo that stands out.

chlopzmazur - Your entries look nice, but they look more like banners then a logo for my site.

blankeyecue - I like the background. But again.....As I have mentioned to other designers....I'm looking for a logo that stand out. But...you do have a really nice looking background.

Gladiatus - I haven't fallen in love with any of the logos, yet. And I'm going to keep the contest going until the end of this week. So you still have some time. Thanks.

[sheriffonline]

here is my updated headers for you... let me know your feedback...

[goal442]

Gladiatus - That is exactly what I'm looking for. Beautiful. Thank you. Is there any way you can change the players..I would rather have younger players, like C. Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi, Walcott, Rooney, Fabregas, Gerrard, Pato, etc......So fare you are way ahead of everyone. If I don't see any other breath taking designs by the end of this week, I will get your design. BUT I do have a few change requests.
Please make sure that you have 2 different image files. I need the logo to be an image/file by it self (with a transparent background) and the header background an image/file by it self. Also, this is an additional request, and I hope you don't mind the extra work.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could make me 4 different variations of the header background. Actually, the header background it self can stay the same...just put different players on each of the 4 backgrounds. I would my sites header background to change every time the user reloads the page. Thank you again. I'll be waiting for your updates.

[goal442]

mkviral - Thank you for your design as well.....If I hadn't seen Gladiatus's design, I would say the same thing to your as I have told him.....It's a great design....logo as well as the background. Your design is second right after "Gladiatus". I will definitely consider your design before I make my final decision.

[TDGraphics]

How do you like mine?

[goal442]

TDGraphics - I'm sorry, but I can't see you design. there is no image. Please try to repost it again.

[goal442]

StealthGFX - I like your design as well. Even though it looks more like a banner then a logo, I like the design. I will keep you in mind for the final decsicion.

Here are the standings so fare:
1. Gladiatus
2. mkviral
3. StealthGFX

[goal442]

I would also like to see a few design for the logo only....without the header background.
Thank you.

[goal442]

ploomer - thank you, It's a nice logo, but I'm not sure if I like the wallpapers next to the writing. Maybe if you put a player or a ball instead of the pictures.

jokomamamita - same here....nice logo, but I don't like the wallpapers.

alygames - Thank you. It's kind of a simple logo compare to the once that i have already seen.

[athar_418]

I need some help....i am not able to attach the files with more space..if any one could help me to do that.....

[oneightwo]

Please let me know, if you want more changes.

Thanks

[nelo]

lizzy4 if you don't have ideas by yourself, then don't take part in contests like this.
Stealing ideas from others are so..... lame.
You have copied gladiatus logo in ~95%

[TDGraphics]

Please give me feedback. My idea goes very well with your site.

[lizzy4]

hey nelo,
I did not copied his banner. I remake it from his. You cant say i copied it and paste it and save it. I redone it but in a bad way. His is much better you can see. I didnt copied nothing i did it myself!

[TDGraphics]

Lizzy: As you may not know, in these contests and everything in the internet you cannot plagurize. Plagurism is the copying of not only word for word text but also ideas. You took his ideas and although "changed" them, you still have yet to make them eligible to be a winner.

[lizzy4]

Ok i am disqualificed from this contest fine :D

[StealthGFX]

LOL! lizzy4 - you're funny! hehe!!! :D :D
So blatant but also very funny...

Thanks ;)

[lizzy4]

lol thanks dude :DD

[goal442]

Gladiatus - Thanks very much. I'm definitely getting your headers. But I'm still unsure about the logo. I also just noticed that you have misspelled "Futbol", instead you have "Futboll" with 2 "L".

[goal442]

TDGraphics - I'm sorry if I haven't given you any feed back yet. It's a nice idea but the background is pretty simple compare to some others that I have seen in this contest.

Please let me know if I have forgot to give feedback to one of the designs.

[TDGraphics]

Hold up and Ill make a sick one. in 2 hours ill enter it

[blankeyecue]

Hi CH!

Any comment on my entry?!

Please let me know if I have forgot to give feedback to one of the designs.

any feedback for my entry on page 2

[goal442]

oneightwo - I'm sorry, I thought i had already given you feedback. I like the idea for the logo, even though the font for "Futbol" is bit to big. I also like the the 3 players on the left side, but I just don't agree with the green background.
If possible, can you make the following changes please:
- The Logo: Try to see if you can come up with a new design where everything is on the same line, including a football player, like the one you have right now or similar.
- Green Background - Please come up with something else.
Thanks.

[lizzy4]

Any feedback on mine? lol oh sorry i am disqualicifed. Will make a nnew one today with my own design!!

Any feedback on my new entry?

[goal442]

Sorry for the delay on the feedbacks....I've been pretty busy today. I will look at all the new designs and get back with the feedback in about 2 hours or so.

[athar_418]

feedback appreciated

[goal442]

athar_418 - I'm sorry if I'm going to sound rude...but do you really think I'm going to pay $75 for your design?

blankeyecue - Sorry about the late feed back.....the background is great but I'm more concerned about finding the right logo.....The logo design is not what I'm looking for.

lizzy4 - Even though your first design was very similar to "gladitus", I liked it much better then the second one.

[TDGraphics]

Can you give me some back on mine man? Thanks!

[goal442]

TDGraphics - The logo is very similar to some of the other once I've seen in the contest. the word "Futbol" on top then "Wallpapers.com" on the bottom and a soccer ball either on the left or on the right. Not very original.

[TDGraphics]

Do you have any feedback on my header? Seems like you have something against me...

[goal442]

TDGraphics - I like your header, but as I have already mentioned, I'm more concerned about the logo then the header background.

I'll wait for about 1 more hour then make up my decision.

[TDGraphics]

Ok hold up im gonna make another logo!!!! Do you like a simple ball logo? or a logo with a futbol player in it?

[goal442]

TDGraphics - ball logo or logo with player...either one is fine with me, as long as the entire logo design looks good.

[TDGraphics]

Do you have any professional logos that you really like? More classy, sporty?

[goal442]

TDGraphics - I really appreciate your design and your quick respond...but as I already mentioned...the logo is very similar to other logos that I have seen in this contest......"Futbol" on top "Wallpapers.com" on bottom and a ball or a player on the right or on the left. But I do appreciate it.....Thank you very much.

[TDGraphics]

Ok wait I want to try again. I want this bro

LOL Im starting to feel like the black sheep...no feedback as of yet on my design...please let me know what you think of it.

[goal442]

I want to thank all participants for your time, effort, designs and ideas. I reviewed every single logo and banner and came to the following final decision.
As regards to the banner (header backgrounds) I saw a few that I really liked. One of my favorites are the banners designed by "Gladiatus".
As regards to the logo, unfortunately I did not see any logo(s) that I feel would fit to my site.
I saw many logos that were very similar to each other.
"Futbol" on top
"Wallpapers.com" on bottom
then either a ball or player on the left or on the right.

And a few other logos that are very similar to the one that I already have.

I regret to say that I'm not going to pick a winner for the logo design(s).
However, I'm going to get in touch with "Gladiatus" and come to an agreement as regards to his banners, only.

Again, I thank all participants and wish you the best in the future.
Regards,
Artin H.

[TDGraphics]

No offense but find me a logo that has the text with a image on the right or left of the image. Not to mention if you gave some people the chance with feedback then it would've been a better run contest. You got Gladitus' image in your head and never opened up. BTW my email is industdesigns@gmail.com for the other contest.
