$35 Graphic/Logo Contest

[zigster]

Hello,

$35 - via PayPal to the best graphic of a Runner. It can be sombody just jogging or running a race.

I only want to see something original -- no clipart. I would like it to be more "fun" like a cartoon Runner. But please be creative and do anything that you would like. Should be in a vector format where it can be resized to properly fit the website. The website is under construction and I don't have anything to show you at this time. I might use the graphic on its own or have it turned into some type of logo. NOTE - may offer winner additional money to add name of website if I use it as a logo.

Please feel free to request any additional details.

I am hoping to end this contest within 3 days at the most. If I see a lot of great entries, I may offer additional awards for the runner-up(s). Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

is this contest still open? I am interested to join..

[zigster]

Certainly, please feel free to join. I am hoping to close this by Wed.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I will be submitting my entry in a couple of hours.. May I know the name of the website so i can incorporate it to my entries? Thanks..

[zigster]

You don't need to incorporate the name. I don't want to give the website because I don't want to influence anybody's design, because that is the OLD website. Plus, the most important part is the graphic of the runner as I might not even use it as a logo -- might just be a standalone graphic on my site.

But, if anybody really wants to include a name as a sample, include "MARATHON RUNNER"...

Thanks again for your interest and I am looking forward to seeing your entries.

My first try... and this is in vector format, so it can be any size you want....also, have the psd file, so if there is anything you'd like different, let me know.

FreshContent -- interesting idea -- very modern looking. But where are the arms :-) Not necessarily what I was looking for -- I think I want something more of a "cartoon" and very "fun" looking if that makes sense.

Sandman -- same thing as above pretty much. But of those, I think the bottom right is the best, but wouldn't the runner be a little skinnier :-)

Thanks for both of your entries! I really appreciate them!!!

Thanks Rotiv -- it is nice, but I am hoping to find something a little more animated.

If anybody else has an entry, please submit it. I am hoping to end the contest within 24 - 48 hours.

Thanks!

Thanks everybody for all the GREAT entries! It has been a really tough decision, but I have identified a winner or winners. I will be giving $35 to each of the following as I think they are both excellent and they both have what I was hoping to see -- they are fun and "cartoonish". I will probably try them both out to see which one ends up being the better fit for my site.

First Place - Crowquill
Second Place - l3fty

Thanks again everybody. I think there were a lot of great ones! In some cases, it might have been a great fit, but these two were what I was looking for today.

[crowquill]
