$50 Logo & Header image Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by webwurks, Jan 14, 2009.

    I a looking for a logo and background image for a new blog site I'm creating. Here's a link to the site in construction:

    http://cheapused.com/blog/

    I want to replace this background image:

    http://cheapused.com/blog/wp-content/themes/cheapused/images/header.jpg

    I'm open to your ideas. Here's mine; I'm envisioning something similar to what is there except the speaker graphics is changed to a flat screen monitor and the "waves" of musical notes is changed to "waves" of the products we will write about on the site. These products are all listed in the top navigation.

    I want the logo to include the following: *.cheapused.com

    The prize is $50 paid by PayPay.

    PM me for more details. I will give my comments and feedback to each entry.

    Thanks in advance for your interest!

    I might enter this contest as well. I was wondering about payment though. You said "The prize is $50 paid by PayPay." Is that a typo for PayPal, or do you mean PayPay.com?

    Yes that was a typo. The payment will be done through PayPal not PayPay. My bad. Thanks for the heads up.

    Okay, here is my work so far. I can provide it in a PSD so you can edit and I can change the lettering to any color, font or style that you want. Everything is in a separate layer so all aspects are editable.

    Hi,

    I wanted to let everyone know that we have an account at iStockPhoto.com if you are in need of photos or illustrations for the background.

    Use the samples for your comp and we will purchase the necessary photos/illustrations for the final version.

    Thanks for all the interest!!! Keep your entries coming :D

    Is this contest still going? I sent you a revision to my first entry a few days ago, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

    I can add in any stock pictures going along the paths and I can also change the font and style of the site name if you want.

    Please don't get stuck on my original vision for the header background. I've gotten two entries (by PM) that are great and do not use my idea of the monitor with products flying out of it.

    Thanks again for all your entries.
