SuperTeacherWorksheets.Com - $50 for the Best Header

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by fireboat, Oct 7, 2007.

  1. #1
    Looking for a new header/logo/banner/whatever-you-call-it for the top of my webpage. The current one is my own creation and is, well, quite... boring. I need some of you cool artsy-graphics people to help me out here.

    Prize: $50, to be paid via paypal

    Site: www.superteacherworksheets.com

    Size: About 745 x 110 pixels (or any size that might look good at the top of the webpage, preferably not taller than the current one)

    Text: Super Teacher Worksheets

    Optional Tagline: Feel free to make up a catchy tag line if you want to.... (note: the current tag line mentions ebooks and articles... don't mention that sutff... just free worksheets.)

    Color scheme: Anything that blends well with the site's current green and yellow scheme

    Deadline: The contest will run until I find what I'm looking for. (Hopefully no more than a week or so.)

    Have fun... Be creative... Ideally, I think I'd like something kind of cartoon-ish, whimsical. professional.... Something that looks cool. :)

    I appreciate any and all entries... I've seen the creative stuff you guys come up with.... it's freakin' awesome... I'm excited to see what you come up with.

    THANKS.... and G'LUCK!

    I received one super-good entry via PM! Thanks DanieGB! :D

    I was looking back at some of the other contests and I find myself really drawn to some of those cool, bold logos that look all glossy and reflective and modern.... anything along those lines that would be awesome!

    Hmm... maybe a mascot? Maybe a play on the word "Super" (of SuperTeacherWorksheets) by including some fun-little teacher-like animal with a superman cape? Just a thought.

    Feel free to ask questions... Good luck... and keep the entries coming. :cool:

    So far, the only entry I've received is from DannieGB... who has a good design, BTW.

    Anyone else want in on the contest??? Let me know. :)

    A few points of clarification---

    - Shape-- I don't car about the shape. Use your imagination.

    - Colors-- Use whatever colors look good.

    - Size-- 745 x 110 is my preferred size.... but it's okay to submit something that is a different size.

    - Yes, I will probably be having more graphical work done to the site after I get a header I am comfortable with.

    - What I'm looking for -- something imaginative and cool that visitors will remember. :)

    Thanks for reading....

    Okay.... I got two more entries today...

    Little Honey -- Very cool fontwork.... but I am leaning towards some of the entries with graphics or logos.

    Mikeisme submitted one yesterday too -- it's sweet!

    Just waiting on Luke and Catakbaju.

    Hopefully I can announce a winner this evening.

    I can't believe how many people are in on the contest -- you guys rock. And the quality is outstanding!

    Last call for entries..... winner this evening around 8:00pm or so eastern time... (after I get home from work)!

    Thanks everyone!

    Yes, put your watermark on your graphic.

    But I assure you that I will make good on my promise to pay... and I will only use the winning design.


    THis is my first experience with a contest-- but it has been a very fun experience. :)

    Okay..... I think I know which one I'm going with....

    Am I allowed to post the winner and runners up here? I want everybody to see how good that are.

    First off, a runner up..... this one was my wife's absolute favorite... she's mad that I'm not picking this one. An awesome design by DannieGB123:

    [​IMG]


    Secondly.... another runner up... I absolutely loved the mascot in this one... I thought for awhile this was definitely going to be the one... My page's visitors love "cute" stuff like this..... A very sharp, crisp, modern, professional design by Ariestoteles......

    [​IMG]


    One last runner up... I got really attached to this one because of the superhero S in the beginning.... The colors were bold and demanded attention, which I liked... Phenominal job to MikeEisMe...

    [​IMG]

    The winner of the $50 prize....... JBoo14 !!

    This is the design that really got me the most excited.... It is hilariously funny... My visitors will remember the logo... and it blended very well with the site's current color scheme.... I just loved this one.... How can you not smile when you look at it? Absolutely perfect for what I need.....

    [​IMG]

    A super big thank you to all who entered. You time and efforts are appreciated.

    JBoo... I'll PM you to get your paypal information....

    Looking forward to more contests with people on this forum in the future. THis contest thing is way more fun than I expected... and I couldn't believe how high-quality the entries were!
