Contest Poker Logo Contest - $50

    Howdy There,

    I am back at it again because the last design just did not work. I am working on a large scale redesign and need a modern, fresh logo to help the updated look of the site. Here is the site's new header design with the old logo (actual size if opened in new tab/window):

    [​IMG]

    I am looking for something a little more modern that blends better with the newer design. Here are some guidelines for the overall design:
    • The design must keep the same aspect ratio (i.e. do not post something that is very tall and thin).
    • The upside down spade aspect must stay for branding purposes. You may redesign it however you want, but there must be a upside down spade encompassed by a circle.
    • The logo must be able to be both greyscale and color for marketing purposes.
    As the contests progresses I will quote designs that I think exemplify what I am looking for and why. I will most likely not be able to give feedback on each individual design, so please take a look at my comments and adapt them to your design.

    This is a collective contest, which means I will not accept submissions via private message.

    Best of luck to everyone and I cannot wait to see what comes out!

    I like the design here but I do not think the font blends well with the overall design of the new site.

    I like this design, please place it on the header so I can gauge how fluid it is with the site design.

    This is nice, but I think the spade is a little too big and the outer circle a little small. Take a look at some of the other designs posted above.

    I like the first design, but the font does not blend well. I like the thick font, but the site it majority serif based and it looks like you have a sans-serif based font here (i.e. Arial versus Times New Roman).

    This is so much fun to watch on DP. Played in the Pokerati game at the Palms quite a few times with Dan. Is he still running the site?

    Yes he is! I am working with him to get Pokerati back to its prime with a new look. Unfortunately when it comes to graphic art, my level of expertise is equal to a few crayons and a piece of paper.

    Nice Design! Can you put it on the header and turn the spade upside down?
