Hi! Okay, this contest is for a blog logo to be used in a site header. of a wordpress blog The site is a website for our Dayz game server. Not sure if you are familiar with dayz mod for arma2 or not, but it's a zombie mod for the popular arma 2 game. The server is called 'Petunia Server' (domain name: http://www.petuniaserver.com/ - although empty and standard theme at the moment!) I am thinking, for the logo, perhaps being a little bit cheeky and using the dayz logo style (http://dayzmod.com/) but spelling 'Petunia Server' - and an image of a guy with a gun (*similar, but perhaps not the same, as on http://dayzmod.com/ header), but with flowers coming out of the end of his gun (Petunias, specifically! – https://www.google.co.uk/search?um=...2.2.0.74.980.20.20.0...0.0...1c.1.kOY3WJFI5W0 This will kinda be like, 'Petunia Server' in DayZ header logo style image, with a guy with a gun (like dayz, but slightly different - lots of image examples here: https://www.google.co.uk/search?um=...75&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=arma+2+fan+art but with Petunia flowers coming out of the end (you probably know, but it's a historical thing - e.g. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J9NaTcd78nY/Tbi3KYF3T-I/AAAAAAAAATQ/z7fAdyXI9z0/s320/flower+gun.jpg – (Or more stylised): - http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R_3v9eUp0eY/TeppYJQDsOI/AAAAAAAADYs/5YF2Pfubg-0/s400/Graffiti013.jpg or istock even, lol - http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-10176739/stock-photo-gun-and-flower-on-a-white-background.html Added to this, we want to include ‘black knights’ in the image (the animation) – like: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=e...dsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:0,i:136&tx=133&ty=57 DIMENSIONS are not set yet, as we are going to modify this theme (http://www.petuniaserver.com/) so I guess the image should be the same width as the black menu bar background, and around the same size as the area that currently has the words 'PETUNIA SERVER {DOT} COM – THE WEBSITE FOR DAYZ GAMING SERVER COMMUNITY' (no higher/taller than this, as we want lots visible below the fold!) Let the contest begin!
Had a PM asking for dimensions.. Sorry I forgot that I had the 'page under construction' plugin running Please take a look now at the site (http://www.petuniaserver.com/). I have take a screenshot of the image, and add it to a post Here is the actual image: http://www.petuniaserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dayz-header.png Although the image may not show full size, it should give you an idea of the size in relation to the rest of the page on: http://www.petuniaserver.com/ Let me know if you have any more questions Thanks! Mike.
This looks quite good actually One thing, the weakest part of this i think is the flower - it has too much contrast I think... and maybe the head of the flower is a little too big. COuld you tweak it a little? - Pehaps if the guy was holding the gun 'to attention' kinda thing? just a thought - Or take the flower away, and have a guy in the background standing to attention, with a flower in his gun?
Thanks for uploading the theme ! I wil need to redo some of the work but i think that's a very nice theme !!! Hope i will transform my banner to match it
Perfect, thanks I have also had an entry via PM too, from muddy786 Thanks to both of you guys for your entries
Hi Cassius_18 ! By the way, in the thread, we also mentioned the black knights logo. I would like to make a bit more of this if possible... the black knights were a group of freedom fighter types from the animation Code Geass. One image is on the opening thread to this contest, but also maybe something from the cartoon would be good? Here is a link to the youtube search for this, for more info - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=code+geass+black+knights&oq=code+geass+black+knights and a decent screenshot type image of the characters: http://geekoutcentral.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/watashi-wa-anime-ga-daisukidesu-code.html (hint: doesn't have to be colour, or too prominent - so b&w faded background or something is an option!) Note: We will now also need a facebook header image, and are happy to pay an extra $10 to the winner, to tweak the design slightly to fit Facebook's dimensions
