Hi every one, I am the administrator of http://www.bcmtouring.com and we are currently running a banner design contest on our site. BCMTouring is a travel portal with a strong bias towards road trips and we are looking for a banner which would be able to project just that. Apart from the cash reward for the winning banner, we will be acknowledging your effort and hard work by creating a permanent thread in the announcement section with your contact details and your winning design to ensure that you get due credit and exposure. Here is what we are looking for: * Banner should be 980px in width and no more than 180px in height. * Logo in the banner should have symbols/objects to ensure it is easily recognizable and memorable. However it should not have a plane, ship or tropical theme based logo. * It should match with the current color theme of the forum and main website. * It should be able to project the India travel/road trip theme of BCMTouring. * It should contain either BCMTouring.com or BCMTouring. * It can contain the following tagline. The road ends where your imagination does! * Web 2.0 style would be preferred. * Wining banner would have to be provided to us in the PSD format and all the layers should be in unlocked form to ensure we can edit them in future if the need arises. To take part in the contest, please email the jpeg version of your design to or signup at our forums and post the design in the contest thread, which we would prefer since the contest is being promoted at various forums and all the entries would eventually be directed towards this thread. Participating in this thread would ensure that you are able to get a proper feedback for your work and at the same time you can check out your competition. http://www.bcmtouring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2857 Last date for entries is 17th of January 2008, after which the BCMTouring moderation team will decide the winner and the winner would receive US$ 20 and a thread will be started in the announcement section, which will contain the name of the winner along with the winning banner along side your contact details and a link back to your portfolio to ensure you get due credit for your hard work. Payout is through paypal; however in case you are in India, we can discuss alternative payment options.
It’s a simple yet attractive design that does gel with the main website, however considering the current theme of the website (India travel + road trips), it looks a bit dull and uninspiring. Especially considering the fact that our website receives majority of our traffic from India, which actually doesn’t needs elephants to symbolize travel in India. Ps. BCMTouring = Bike + Car + Motorcycle Touring
Itaydr nice design, however I didn’t like the left side of the design (I felt it was a bit busy), though I loved the right hand side of it, however the shack doesn’t look Indian.
Itaydr this one is quite good and does projects the India travel theme very well. There are couple of things that I would like to see changed here: 1. green bars on the right hand side of the banner, if the opacity of it is reduced by 30-40% or if they are completely removed, banner would look much better 2. The same goes for the blue dashes on the top and bottom of the design
Aight loved the design of the logo, can you move it to the left corner and add collage on the right hand side?
Silentmafioto that banner does not meet the India Travel Theme of BCMTouring.com, though it does have the road trip theme. For now Aight's first submission is leading.
