$20 Infinity symbol contest! Needs are described perfectly...

    The winner of this contest will create as close to an exact match of the logo below with my edits and keep the glossy 3D effects the same ;):
    [​IMG]

    My edits:
    Change the main color to green and orange (shown below) while keeping the 3D/shiny effect. My paint demo sucks ha ha but you get the picture :p There is a small smooth gap/space between the orange and green pieces. The orange niche should have the glossy 3D effect as well:
    [​IMG]

    Again, the winner will be the closest to the original 3D and shiny effect (with my edits) as possible.

    Here is the original png file online:
    http://thumb9.shutterstock.com.edge...nity-shape-over-white-background-34781197.jpg

    I need a transparent background (PNG). The Business name is "Niche Consulting" (in green) which I would like to see it underneath the design and on the right of it as well. The tagline is "What's your niche?" (in orange)

    The font is on this theme (not sure what type it is):
    http://themeforest.net/item/display-3-in-1-business-portfolio-wordpress-/74542

    This contest will last 4 days unless someone nails it before that time. I am on MSN messenger as much as possible if you need to chat.

    Who has the best design skillz???

    Good luck and have fun everyone!

    Do you have a specific size or do you need it in vector?

    This can be any size you need it to be. If you have photoshop I will save it as a smart file which means you will be able to scale it up and down without losing quality. If not then I'll simply send you a high resolution version of it :)

    I just PM'd you. Can you enhance/increase the lighter areas more? Make it more glossy? Also, I need a little more of a space between the orange and green (See my lame paint drawing above).

    arunefx - While I really like the brightness of your entry, it does not have the gap I requested between the orange and green. Also, The orange niche is not in the right place. The edges need to be rounded as well a little. I am looking for an exact match of the original design model.

    ILLEGAL!!!
    if you want the exact shape, you need to buy it from shutterstock.com!!!
    it doesn't matter if you'll ask somebody to make it from scratch, it is still stealing. it's like you ask from someone to make the Google logo from scratch and use it. Google can still sue you.

    i have an idea for you: buy the image from shutterstock.com and than open a contest and ask for editing the picture without recreating it. you can than ask for less than 20$ because it makes the job easier, and you will also get exactly what you want. i prommise to participate if you'll do that :)

    hi baker
    photoshop is not scalable although thats smart object or high resolution ..
    easy change colour on photoshop .. just colour overlay and adjust the transparancy. or duplicate layer with different colour ..

    Actually mine was done in illustrator not photoshop so it is scalable, but most people don't use illustrator so I was simply offering to export it as a smart object which is fully scalable. And if ever needed can be but back into illustrator and edited complete with layers. I've done it many times.

    With regard to this being illegal, it's a shape not a trademarked logo. 1) You can't trademark a shape and 2) It's royalty free meaning it can never have a trademark attached to it. Not only that but because he's modifying and adding text it's not considered a derivative and is perfectly legal. If he asked you to trace a cube would you say "No, that's illegal!" Of course not.

    @HerDish, thanks. I use illustrator all the time so this is definitely vector 100%, even the shadows are done with blends, not drop shadow :)

    Here's my revised image, I simply added a few more highlights to make it shine more, hope it's okay.

    Trojan Pro is going to be the font for this. Not sure on original or bold... Maybe the "Niche Consulting" part in BOLD and the tag in original..

    I do need one with the text on the bottom and one with the text on the right as well as just the logo design by its self. Transparent and scalable.

    I just want to make sure but is it Trojan or Trajan. I have Trajan pro but I'll look for Trojan if I can. This can be easily done though and I'll make sure you have something transparent.

    Can the logo be smaller next to the Company name or is this something I can do myself in PS?

    I can do it for you or you can do it yourself in photoshop, either way. If the logo and the text are on separate layers then you can adjust their sizes independently, that might be the easiest way because you'll get it exactly how you want it. I'm willing to change the size for you if you'd prefer though :)
