$15 Header Contest - ends Sunday midnight EST

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by SeanIM, Mar 21, 2008.

    could end earlier if a great entry made - i make fast decisions!

    Here it is -

    I need a header graphic to replace the existing one at http://talkingpanther.com

    I'd like one to look

    1. Less serious - more comedy or 'CARTOONY'

    2. Goes with theme/ color etc so it 'fits like butter" as one of my other logo contest winners would say! :)

    Blog is more about real estate now SO would like you to ideally show a header that is cartoon figure of a 'panther - not pink so I don't get any copyright infringement :)

    and just say on it somewhere -

    Talking Panther Real Estate

    Thanks!

    Good Luck

    Here's my shot at it - I hand sketched the panthers using a genius 340 Graphics tablet (So they are unique)
    If selected, I'll remove my copyright from the image, it's actual size, so feel free to test it on your site to see what it will look like.

    Matchstick - you seem to win my contests alot !!

    Like the play you did here - just take the words out after talking panther

    The only words I want on it are

    Talking Panther

    then sub headline

    Real Estate Talk and News

    Thanks!

    ummm, I don't like designers that rip work from others & call it there own: http://ready-aim-misfire.blogspot.com/2007/09/biology-birth-xxx-birth-death.html
    Also in his flicker portfolio here: www.flickr.com/photos/coghillcartooning/page2/

    [​IMG]
    See the copyright on the bottom of the image? (c) coghillcartooning.com
    When you google "coghillcartooning pink panther" all the articles on it say that it was originally designed for "Sugar Frosted Goodness".

    I'm out of this contest, clearly my style of design is not whats wanted here. Good luck to everyone else!

    contest isn't over...and I like the 'look and feel - more lighter'

    BUT - I think the pink panther on left hand side is a copyright image and I can't use it ...

    Wow - thank you for addressing this for me as I would never on purpose use a copyrighted image.

    If you could lighten yours up to be more cartoony - with the subtitle 'real estate talk and news'

    That would be great!

    Ok, I lightened it up & changed the colors to be a little more cartoony
    Figured I'd at least give it one revision to see if my style is usable here before I end up archiving it.

    HI Everyone -thank you for your entries!

    I'll make a decision tomorrow between the following 2 with a 2nd prize bonus... on this

    Patricksea2007 - nice - I like how it fits with the theme - can u try a different font for the 'Real Estate Talk and News" ( a font same as or similar to font used in the menu tabs) and make it in Pink to carry a 'flow ' from the pink panther (and i hope that isn't a copyright issue of the panther image)

    Scorpian Agency - can u put caps on the "Real Estate Talk and News" - thanks!

    I don't know why I even bother entering these contests sometimes, I mean come on people, doesn't anyone do stuff from scratch anymore?
    I don't mean to be a tattle tail, it's just that when designers do all their work from scratch, it really Upsets them to see others winning with scrapped images that aren't even their's to begin with (I only bring this to everyones attention because it WAS stipulated to NOT have any previously copyrighted images & that the CH wanted something Original). Sorry guys!

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    These images are all over Google Images.

    I must ask that I am NOT selected as the winner by mere technicality, If my design is not what's being looked for please DON'T select me. I appreciate the opportunity of this contest, However your request for NO Previously COPYRIGHTED images of panthers seems to be misunderstood, & eliminates any real competitive edge within the guidelines. I just wouldn't feel right winning now, maybe if a few others entered the contest it would help out.

    I look forward to more entries​

    Hi all - I'm letting this contest continue this week for more entries -

    Scorpian - thanks - this is a information lesson for me


    I do like patricksea2007 design the best -how the buildings reflect real estate and the 'cheekiness' of the cartooony pink panhter' -

    but - Patricksea2007 - I can't use a copyrighted image - one option - can u contact the owner of said image to see if he would allow me / give me rights to use in the blog header at http://talkingpanther.com

    Thanks all!
