Up to $300 dollar Blog header Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Hammer107, Jan 3, 2008.

  1. #1
    I am looking for a blog header for my make money online blog.

    I am looking for something unique and brandable and I would like both a logo and a backdrop for the RSS section. I have an RSS section backdrop that I like that I can provide if I find the right looking logo but I am very open to input from creative people.

    The header height can be changed easily...let's assume something around 250 pixels to be in the ballpark...and it is 955 pixels wide. I am not stuck on red, I could go blue or gray just as well.

    I, like everyone else, want something brandable so I am wide open to input and suggestions from those who might be far more creative than myself.

    I will pay up to 300 dollars for the right design but I would have high expectations at that price range.

    Let's see what you guys are made of.

    Interesting, I will enter but my entry will be HEAVILY watermarked, as you have 0 itrader, and is offering such a high prize.

    I SUGGEST EVERYONE WATERMARK THEIR ENTRIES

    Don't take it personally, I don't trust anyone with 0 itrader that much untill they actually pay ;)

    When does this contest end?

    No offense taken.

    I don't really have an end date....we could say a week from today to get some entries but if I find what I like I reserve the right to end the contest early as well.

    The site url is in the original post and I already said I am open to colors and input and I am looking for suggestions. Size was listed at 955 wide and the height is a bit flexible but 250 is a good maximum height.

    If YOU want to earn the big price, then you should be more professional and read what I wrote. I am offering more money than normal because I want input from people who can design, not just slap a photoshop premade logo on a banner. If I had any creativity or ability I would make it myself...that's why I am here.

    As for everyone else if you could post your entry here for review and feedback I would appreciate it.

    Also bear in mind that this is a blog header....I know a lot of "Internet Marketers" and website requests get posted here but in my opinion a blog header and a website header have a very different look.

    If you look at bloggerunleashed.com or john chows blog at the RSS section you will see something like what I am after for that section.

    The logo will be something different but you can get an idea for the kind of look I am after.

    Color wise I lean towards the grayish blue colors.

    Yugo...I like the background....don't care for the RSS section....Reference the two sites I mentioned earlier for a rough example of an RSS I like.

    I am also not crazy about the logo...I like the mirrored effect just not the font.

    I have changed my site some since posting the contest. I want to keep the style of the graphic behind the lower header although it may need to be cleaned up to match the header graphic.

    I like most of the RSS section.....but the rest of the header isn't at all what I am looking for.

    Hi there, Hammer107. Here's my try.

    [​IMG]

    I wanted to try to add some coins/money in, but I don't really like how the B and the E turned out, so this just an experiment. If you like it, I can keep it, however. I also made the RSS buttons myself.

    [​IMG]

    And if you want me to change the color scheme, I can. I did a crappy job with the green color job, but I can do any color you want.

    [​IMG]

    And here's how it would look on your website:

    [​IMG]

    If you want anything changed, please contact me, and ask me =]

    Thanks, and feedback is appreciated.
