    As some of you may know, I have recently had a re-design of my site. Here it is:

    Directory Critic

    Obviously, the site is a directory list and resource. My target audience is webmasters. I need something that fits the color scheme of the site, can work on multiple backgrounds and is easily brandable for banners and promotions.

    You can see on the site that there is a 370x100 space allocated for it at the top left of the site. So that's the size I want to see when you post examples.

    Competition ends 21st March 2007

    The competition winner will be paid via PayPal on receipt of the logo and psd files.

    Any questions, post here :)

    Is there any specific text that should be on the logo, and if there is what is accented?

    NRL, Nice one. I liked it better when it didn't have the spikes around the edge.

    But, it has to cover about 370px wide. So maybe take the text out of the circle and put it to the left?

    Edit: I see how you've layed it out, thanks for posting it. I do like it better without the spikes around the edge though.

    Mendes, that doesn't at all fit in with the site. The colors aren't even the same.

    So far NRL's is looking the best. Can you do a bit more with the title text mate?

    Mendes, the logo is meant to blend in with the site...

    Yeah sure thing. I just threw that together in about 15 minutes. I will work on the logo in the next few days when I have more time.

    If you have anymore input, let me know.

    Thanks.

    Here's my effort - I tried for a while to think of some kind of imagery to use on it but drew a blank so for now it's text-based!

    Thanks for all the entries guys.

    DaveyBoy - I like the text, but it really needs some sort of visual element.

    Concoon - Colors are good, but the tick looks a bit like some of those free logo templates you can pick up.

    AddictedtoFate - Same comment as concoon

    Constance - Not really a fan of the animated banner, doesn't really fit with the site

    TheGrin - Sorry mate, not really a fan of that one.

    NRL - are you going to post some further developments of your design?
