    Greetings,

    I have a new site and I need a logo and favicon for it.

    The site is located at www.kids books 4 you (dot) com

    Logo will go in the upper left corner where it is light brown. The area is small so the logo must look good small, and it needs to be something more than just the title text.

    Post your questions and entries here. Contest will run for 48 hours from the time of this post, and a winner will be declared.

    Thanks for the entry.

    But I'm not very high on this design. The logo 'book' to the left of the text looks more like a barcode that a book, and the text looks like it reads Kids4BooksYou instead of kidsbooks4you. I'm also not real fond of the font.

    Thanks for the feedback, i'll try something else later. By the way, what about the favicon?

    I like the font, and I like the book. I wouldn't mind seeing something a little more vector as far as the book goes. I'm not sure about the background you have it on. Looks odd. I think a plain background would be fine. you might try putting the text underneath the book for this design.

    Favicon is solid. I'm hoping for a favicon that is a mini version of the logo.

    Thanks for the entry.

    I like the simplicity. And I like that the favicon matches the logo.

    But the book looks a little too much like a mustache. And the font is a little old fashioned looking. I need something a bit more kid friendly.

    Thanks for the entry.

    I like the font alot. Very professional looking.

    I'm not particularly fond of the child the book or the stars, or the favicon.

    I'd prefer not to use that green background. I'd rather have ti on the light beown background in the area where the logo will go on the website. I also think I'd like the book better if it were just an outline of the book from that angle, instead of an actual photo image.

    Tell me if this is somewhere in the lines of what you are looking for. If not I will start from scratch.

    Thanks for the entry.

    I like the simplicity. Neither the books nor the font is bad.

    However, it's a little difficult to read, the books are a little too bright, and the various elements of this design seem disjointed.

    Thanks for the entry.

    The colors are a little over the top. I don't think they would go very well with the site.
