48 Hour $40 Logo + Banner Contest

Hey all,
I'm starting an online site, called willread.net, which sells fashionable branded menswear, aswell as own-brand menswear, to the UK market. I've traded loads on ebay before but i feel it's the best business decision to try and ebb away from that and toward our own site.

Whilst i'm still exploring options for the actual site (If you can skin ZenCart PM me ), we've launched a landing page and a myspace account. What i want is a logo for these, and a header image for the new landing page i'm making which will have links to our products on ebay.

The stats:
Header (Banner) image & General Logo needed
$40 for the winner
Paypal Only
We reserve the right not to choose a winner (Although i'm sure we will choose a winner, it's just to cover my back)
Influences: Abercrombie & Fitch, AE.com, Aeropostale.com, topman.co.uk, burton.co.uk. etc etc etc. Please keep things very 'summery' if possible, we'll have seasonal header images, like the above sites do
Ends 4.30pm GMT, 3rd May 07

I'll provide constructive criticism and the winner will almost definately be first in line for any other work we'll need doing. Please post replies/entries here!

Cheers,
Will

Here is my logo option.
Very classic, shows high quality.
Take and example abercrombie or AE.


Feedback please so ill continue with the banner

 

Very nice idea, maybe make it a bit bolder if possible? Love the main feel of it though

Logo entry.

 

Really like this but is there any chance of it in white/blue with text either white or blue? More summery etc.
Will

 

will prepare my set soon

 

Thank you so much.
White and blue version.


Another color variation.

 

My try:


Please imagine it on a t-shirt or something similar

Feedback appreciated

 

here is my entry

 

Hey,
Whilst I like the look of it and appreciate the work that has gone into it, it's not really what i was after as it doesn't suit the criteria of a Menswear fashion store. Try to think of something that would make you want to buy the clothing!
Will

 

ok thank you for the feedback i will submit a secon and maybe third entry later on today

 

nice retzseo, but i seen that somewhere before, abercrombie and finch perhaps?

 

retzseo I, personally, think that your second logo looks like a "College Clothing" not like a stylish store as Willread.

 

here is a idea with a few variations, can be altered, feedback appreciated

 

*heh* maybe, but I'm not a fan of the clothing though so I'm quite not sure
it's one of the shirt designs getting popular in our place. anyway... back to the ol drawing board

 

lol me neither, just though i seen that somewhere before

 

Really like these, however as mentioned they're very much like abercrombie and fitch designs. If you could create more that are a little bit less like other brands i'd love to see them
