    Hi All

    I am in the process of building a new magazine style blog.

    The site is going to be called: Disturbed Magazine
    Site URL: http://www.disturbedmagazine.com , you can visit the site at the moment but ignore everything on it including the theme as that is just temporary.

    I am going to use the Revolution Pro media theme for the site, so this will give you an idea on the layout and color scheme.

    Im looking for a mascot and logo design.

    This needs to be created on a the same color background as the Revolution theme. ( I think its #1C1C1C ). Colors for text are up to you but should fit with the color scheme of Revolution Pro Media.

    As for the mascot, ideally I would like to see a face. This could be a smiley face, or a normal cartoon face. NO REAL FACES! But basically the face needs to look "disturbed". It can be a very basic disturbed too.

    Here are a couple of ideas that can give you an idea of what I am looking for.

    http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/SCR/1857~Evil-Clown-Face-Posters.jpg

    SIZE
    Height: No greater than 100 pixels
    Width: No greater than 500 pixels

    TEXT
    Disturbed Magazine

    A crazy/disturbed font would be good too. Some of the fonts on this site will give you a better idea: http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/scary-fonts.htm

    I may ask for a tag line to be inserted at a later date. I just cant think of one at the moment.

    WINNER WILL GET $40 + Footer Link to your site (ie Logo designed by: Insert Name Here)
    Winner may also get future business for banners etc if I need them

    Please do not hesitate to ask any questions....

    I will leave this open until I am satisfied with an entry. I will update this thread regularly to keep you all updated.

    Thanks and good luck

    Here's a Shot at it - 100% Vector -
    (Note: I originally presented a variation of this concept to a media company a few months ago & they declined it due to it being too disturbing & graphical in nature. I still own all Copyrights to this design & felt it would complement your company seeing that "Disturbing" is what you are after here.)
    Design was modified for your needs

    @raymondgill08
    Not bad. Size is too big though. Face is really large and I think it overwhelms the text


    @alztudio
    Not what Im really looking for.

    @scorpionagency

    Love it. This is along the lines of what I am looking for. Do you think you could move the word magazine to be alongside Disturbed, so it appears as one length? Starting at 9 O'clock and finishing at 3 o'clock?

    @ALL
    Im still looking guys. Please keep em coming.

    That one of Scorpion's scared me the first time I saw it a month ago and it scared me now, i don't think it could be more 'disturbing' if it tried!

    @ALL

    I would also like to see the word "Disturbed" in a mad/crazy font and then magazine in a nicer font. Maybe under the word Disturbed, or off center to the right...

    Does that make sense?
