$15 Banner Design Contest + Free Link

Hello everyone, im running my first contest on DP for a banner! The prize is $15 via paypal, and if I especially like your design, I would be more than happy to put up a link to your website/design firm/whatever.

Now, the rules:

1. MUST BE SIZE 300x100
2. Submit as many entries as you want
3. You may PM them if you like.

The banner will be for my site, http://www.newtuts.com. It needs to say "Want more traffic? Submit your tutorials to the newest tutorial directory on the web: Newtuts.com"

Im not particular about the colors, positioning, etc. I am looking for something clean, and eye catching.

Also, feel free to change up the wording a bit if you think it will catch people's attention better.

Good Luck!

P.S. The contest will end tonight at midnight, CST

I am extending this contest to last till Sunday, July 12th at Noon CST. The reason for this is that I need to get some shut-eye and wont be able to judge all the entries tonight. So, tomorrow at noon I will post the winner and PM him/her for their Paypal email address. Please, rest assured you will be payed. Thank you all for trying. Feel free to continue submitting till the new deadline.

 

Here is something simple by me :

Hope you like it. Thanks

 

I like the simplistic design, and I really dont have any other suggestions for you. Right now this is my number 1 pick. Keep the banners coming!

 

Thanks for your submission. I dont really think anything animated like this would fit in with the websites I plan on putting a banner on. Feel free to try again!

 

Thanks for trying again, however I feel this is a little too simple.

 

Much better! I will let you know if I end up choosing this one! Feel free to submit more.

 

Thanks. A slightly different version:

 

One sample:

 

Looks ok, too dark though.

 

Sorry, but I dont like either one of those designs. They are both too bright and kinda hard to read. Thanks for trying.

 

Better?

 

Much better! One question though, where did you get the stop light image?

 

just in case

 

Well, I'm still toying with ideas - but here's one:

 

WirelessDesigning: All of the designs you have posted look great!

Gamergirl: Your submission is ok, I dont particularly like the background you used.
