The Easiest Icon Contest: $5 in 5 minutes

[elkubiak]

Ok, this is simple: I need a GREAT SSL lock icon (image) for my secure booking page (travelling website). I have the standard Godaddy SSL certificate (256b) and all, but I don't like the icon (and I hate the name "godaddy" on it):

So, the contest is very easy:
- post or PM me the best looking SSL secure lock image that you have and that I can legally use, so you I will need to know the source (if you downloaded it from a free gallery, the URL).
- If you PM me, I can give you my website URL, so you know the design and colors of my website (if you need it).
- For an outstanding job, I'll add a bonus. But I think is hard to "amaze" me with just a lock (I THINK).

So, this is like the easiest task ever... for a minimum of $5. What are you waiting for?

People:

I would like something that looks serious (trustable), robust (sturdy, solid) and modern (by modern I just mean, not like this (http://www06.ocmusa.com/scan123/graphics/ssl_lock.jpg)).

You can PM me the proposals or post them here. If you do the last think, I can give you better and more complete feedback.

I'm still looking for something better. I know that you can find (or create) a better looking SSL lock.

I will end this contest on Tuesday and pick a winner. At the moment, navywife_afc is the winner and dxinginfo proposed something very good (he sent me the SSL logo of another company, that was very good, an proposed to design something very simillar... you guys can do that too), but has not send anything yet

[dxinginfo]

Wait I'll Post in 10 MIN

dxinginfo: The lock looks really easy to break and does not follow our website colors (I'm PMing you the exact page where the lock is going to be). But I loved the fact of the image being in the right bottom of the page (that was the idea you first gave me).
Xual: great, I'm waiting. You still have some time.

[dxinginfo]

OK thanks for your reply, as I said before its 9 PM here, will get back to you with new option tomorrow, if you can wait.

Ankur - very nice designs....are they unique or templated icons?

[elkubiak]

Yes, I can wait. Contest is ending tomorrow.
But you have to totally change the concept of the lock. I like the idea of the the right corner of the page (like comodo.com), but not the lock.

ankur0412: your locks are not bad, just too generic (yet) for me.

For every one, just give it a try. It's an easy task.

[elkubiak]

I'm ending the contest in 13 hours.

[elkubiak]

The winner is navywife_afc.

Thanks you all for participating, especially cause it was little money (easy task).
