Enter as many times as you like. Winner will be selected at our sole discretion
2 questions - what is the overall colourscheme of the site going to be as it's currently blank your 'requirements' are a copy/paste that people keep using - do you definitely want an .AI format file as well as .jpg and .gif ?
As an added note, the colors should be similar to the colors used in the las vegas site in my signature
I can design you a logo, but I do not like the contest idea because I can't be sure that I am paid for my work. If you are really intrested in a design pm-ail me and I will work it out for you until you are satisfied with it. If intrested contact me.
i've never had illustrator , maybe it's time to download the trial from adobe and learn how to use it
Ace0 - sorry, but I elected a contest to see who really has talent and who can put some thought in it. If you will check my posts, you will see that I don't mind spending money.
Here are my first ones: These are a little bit blurry, because of .jpg compression, but better quality is not a problem as well as the .AI files. I design my logos in Illustrator.
I have to disagree here... Since it's a vector-based software, Illustrator is the main software used by professional graphic designers to create logos.
You are correct, Illustrator is my favorite software for designing illustrations, cartoons and storyboards for animation. But for contest purpose we must consider other designers who do not use Illustrator for designing. Read Post Sl.No.6 in this thread. He too a professional designer.
I like the look and colors. futuristic. i don't really like the D because you have to guess what it is. We want the name to be catchy because it is a 5 letter domain.
Thanks very much for the submissions. Your color choices are interesting and I like them. We want something more than just the letters to make it a logo. Think major telephone company icon incorporated in the words or major shoe company like icon. 5 letter domain. we want people to remember it.
One more point. The order of letters are wrong in the logo which is which is why I might not have liked the D. In fact, the more I look, the more I like. Can you change the black to a blue to match the blue in wedoitallvegas.com and let me see them side by side?
Hi, this is my attempt. I tried to make it simple, visible, easy to memorize ... Based colors are the ones which you already have on your site. Feedback appreciated
