$20 Logo / Header Contest - 24 hours only

[truckerjim]

Hi DPers:
I need a professional logo and banner for a heavy truck dealer in Kansas City. The name of the site is Best Trucks KC. Visit temp site (http://69.89.27.242/~besttruc/)
The banner needs to be the same size with the rounded corners. It must be professional, show a semi truck, possibly a cityscape of Kansas City and the logo that say's "Best Trucks KC". If you want to use a slogan, "Quality Used Trucks". Here is the current site for reference http://besttruckskc.com/

I will paypal the winner $20 within 24 hours or earlier if the right entry comes along. If I don't find the quality I'm looking for, I will not award a winner, but I'm pretty easy to please.

Good luck and Thanks for your entries.

anidesign...nice job. I like the transition from the blue sky to the red, try without the red on the left. The "best trucks kc" a little larger and maybe a different font, for the slogan use "quality used trucks" and make it easier to read. If you are able to find a newer looking truck that would be better too!
Thanks

anidesign. I like the colors of the first one better, even if you have to use the same truck. And the truck in the new version is a european model and we need an american truck pic. Thanks, good effort!

[dulcenegosyante]

Any feedback for my entry? :)

anidesign, better. Can you make the fade to red better? Soften it or make it sharper? and "Quality Used Trucks" bolder. (Caps on first letter and black color)

[truckerjim]

P4jek. I really like the style, I don't like the logo too well. I would like to see something more pronounced, and the catch line should be "Quality Used Trucks". Looking good!

[truckerjim]

anidesign...I like the truck, and I like the red, I don't like the way it fades. Can you do anything to make that better? and Quality is spelled wrong.

Is it better?

[truckerjim]

P4jek....I want the BEST TRUCKS KC to stand out. Maybe block letters, a little motion?

[truckerjim]

anidesign...yes it is better, you're in the top two so far, thanks for your entries.

[dulcenegosyante]

Hi... any feedbacks from my design yet? Is there anything else you want or something? :)

[truckerjim]

dulcenegosyante....sorry I thought I replied to you. I like the motion in the logo, the truck needs to be changed to a sleeper type truck. "Quality used trucks" can stand out more. I'm not too sure about the background.

[truckerjim]

untitledstudios...pretty cool, can you try to define the truck a little more.

[dulcenegosyante]

No problem. Here's a revised entry. I don't know much about trucks but I'm willing to learn. Watermark installed. Hoping this is a "sleeper type" of truck. :)

By the way, you have already changed the header of your temporary website (http://69.89.27.242/~besttruc/), does that mean you have chosen a winner already?

[untitledstudios]

Yeah, I'll make the changes tomorrow. No time now.

[truckerjim]

dulcenegosyante...yes those are sleeper trucks, I liked the logo you had before better. If you can find another truck that would help. So the 2 trucks are not the same. And no I have not chosen a winner...Will choose today at 1:00pm Eastern time.

[dulcenegosyante]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do the proper revision in a couple of hours. I'll keep you posted. :)

MY TRY HOPE U LIKE IT

[truckerjim]

P4jek....I like the logo in solid block letters and I think it would look cool with a slight "blast" effect to add some motion.

[truckerjim]

surenther...I like it. I'm not sure about the background for the text or the way the text is laid out. Can you try a few variations of the text. Maybe try to break out "Quality Used Trucks" from Best Trucks KC.

[dulcenegosyante]

Here's my revised entry.

dulcenegosyante....looking good, I don't like the star over the B, otherwise you're looking good.

[truckerjim]

surenther...The letters are better but a little heavy on the black border, Maybe a little different font would look better.

[truckerjim]

P4jek....sorry I just don't like the lettering. One hour and a half left in the contest.

[dulcenegosyante]

Hi Jim,

Yeah, sorry about that... I forgot to take it off. ;)
