Please Read the ENTIRE description, so that you can understand what I want fully.

My website/blog url is(So that you can get a feel):

Well here are the logo details:
Please note that the header has a black background. So do NOT use BLACK.

Size: height: 100 pixels
width: 420 pixels
Note:I'm Willing to increase the width by upto 10 pixels.
I'm willing to increase the height by upto 50 pixels.

Logo:
Ah*Rev*iew.*com (remove the stars)

I'm dividing how I want it to be designed into 3 easy to follow steps with examples. Use this as your source for the inverted commas references:

1. I want "ah" to be placed inside like the "shop" in the "Shop Black Friday" logo BUT instead of it having a rectunglar shape with round edges. It has be like a CROWN of a King OR you could use a Star.
2. I want "Review" to be a combination "Secrets" with a magnifying glass in your "Directory Submission Secrets" logo and the inside of the magnifying glass(inside the circle)....should have be like the sun.
You can get some inspiration for the sun from here:
http://www.viralking.com
3. I would like you to add ".com" in the handle of the magnifying glass.

COLOURS: Please use colours of your own choice matching the feel of my website.


Tag Line:
"True Product Reviews"
Do you see the "Charris" logo....The nike like thingy going from the "h"(the second letter/after C)...
Well I want my tagline to be placed within that.
However that "nike like" line has to be in the form of 5 stars and the tagline placed within.

ALL STARS/CROWNS HAVE TO BE GOLDEN. But at the same type you must use different shades/brightness of the golden colour.

Feel free to use any extra special effects.

Fonts: Please use fonts that depict royalty and class, but at the same time they must be modern/web 2.0.

Example of the fonts I like:(I ONLY liked the fonts of "ah" and review. I do NOT like the design OR the other fonts, so do NOT copy from this!!)

Please watermark your images.
Payment will be made once the design is accepted by me.
Just so that I know you read everything start your reply..whatever it may be a question/comment by saying: 'I understood the requirements.'

While I want this to last for 24 hours, I'm willing to extend this by upto 7 days until I get the design of my liking.

If you think you have a better design concept than the above mentioned, feel free to give your imagination a run for the $10 bucks...

 

Anyone....of our capable designers on DP??

 

TDGraphics: I have sent you a PM.

Others: The Prize money has been increased to: $12.50

 

Woo hoo 2.50 more. Are you joking? That is pocket change. I gave you a 25$ logo and you are complaining via PM.

 

I didn't put a gun to your head and force you do the logo...

If this is, as you claim a "$25 logo"...
I feel really really sorry for your clients....

I can also see that you have absolutely no regards, bringing up the issue on a public forum, while I had the decency to send you a PM...

Joke...
You didn't even get the name of the site right...
$25??? LOL...

 

this is a lot of request but i'll try to do this

 

Excuse me sir but are you kidding me? You raise the price by 2.50 and you expect designers to "Jump" on this? You my friend are the joke. I am glad I put an extra S for watermarking purposes.
"I feel really really sorry for your clients...." I feel bad for you only having 12.50 to spend on a logo. Welcome to 2008. We dont pay 5 cents a coke anymore.

 

Yes, that logo is certainly worth over $12.50 but hey I suppose you only expected $10 when you entered it lol.

At the end of the day, the only way to stop people offering insulting amounts is to stop entering their contests.

To the contest holder : Try showing some respect to the designers entering your contest. After all, if it wasn't for us you would be spending a lot more on a design company. Some of the guys here enter your contest and you insult them? Not the nicest of people are you really?

 

Im aware that this is only a 10 dollar contest and thats all that I was expecting but this was more of a practice logo. This forum is a place where I come and just see if I can hit the jackpot but most importantly while improving my skills. Is very amusing how someone such as this contest holder can expect entries and then insult entries. Half of the designers in the world wouldnt open Photoshop on there computer for 10 dollars.

 

Bla...bla.... blaa....
The "joke" is I didn't like your design.
So....
Shut up.
And the botton line is, no one forced you to enter the contest, so if I don't lke your design and your inability to read, there's nothing you can do about.

Oh look....
I didn't know designers had cheerleaders too!!!
Yea.....adding some spice...cool...
Like I said, your free to enter....your free to NOT enter.
Got it?

To DaveyBoy: Try and stay out of matters that do not involve you. And definately stay out of matters of which you don't know the details.

 

From a very experienced designer...

Take that and think about it. Im not being half as insulting as you. Its not a joke that you dont like my design. That is reality. I get it everyday. Not everyone has the same liking. And how you are acting on here (like a 10 year old) noone is liking you. Nice way to promote AhReview.com right?

 

To a self proclaimed "very experienced designer":
You raise the price by 2.50 and you expect designers to "Jump" on this?
Its a free world you know. If you want the job do it, if you don't...bugger off... anything more to be said...

You my friend are the joke.
Really... How much did you laugh?? I'm glad I could reduce your inferiority complex.

I am glad I put an extra S for watermarking purposes.
This again shows that you do NOT read instructions. I have already requested all designers to watermark their designs.

I feel bad for you only having 12.50 to spend on a logo.
Oh, how kind of you to share your sympathy......

Welcome to 2008.
Same to you mate.

We dont pay 5 cents a coke anymore.
You forgot to add the 2 before the 5..Coz that's what I pay....Thanks for promoting coke though....

Im aware that this is only a 10 dollar contest and thats all that I was expecting but this was more of a practice logo.
Well your "practise logo" is not up to the mark. So I guess you need a lot more practise....

This forum is a place where I come and just see if I can hit the jackpot but most importantly while improving my skills.
Glad you shared that with us.

Is very amusing how someone such as this contest holder can expect entries and then insult entries.
I really did help your inferiority complex problem...

Half of the designers in the world wouldnt open Photoshop on there computer for 10 dollars.
Now the dude claims to know the half of the designers in the world. What next??....wow!

And the botton line is:
No one forced you to enter the contest, so if I don't like your design and your inability to read, there's nothing you can do about it.
So get over it!

 

haha ever heard of majority? How old are you 8th grade? I actually had a great time laughing at this post. Please if you wouldn't mind post a logo you have created in the past. BTW your 8th grade English teacher taught you how to use the term "Self-proclaimed" wrong. I like all these other entries coming in. Looks like people love you around here.

 

What are you...... a fortune teller??....LOL
Its time to throw away your little crystal ball....
Get over it....
I didn't like your design....
But don't hang yourself for that...
YOU ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH

 

oh ho ho good one kid. Get a life and get out of here. Noone likes you and your 10 dollar contests. Keep your 10 dollars just leave. You are pathetic! Open up your eyes... DaveyBoy has more expierence than you could ever wish for and you are trying to tell him off? Nice one kid.

 

oh ho ho good one kid.
I know...I'm good...sorry.... BUT can't say the same about you.

Get a life and get out of here.

hmmm....This aint your mommie's home...So shut your trap...

Noone likes you and your 10 dollar contests. Keep your 10 dollars just leave.

You are pathetic!
Really...More likely I got on your nerves....LOL

Open up your eyes... DaveyBoy has more expierence than you could ever wish for and you are trying to tell him off?
You need some serious therapy...When did I ever claim I was a designer?? Just shows you "assumption" abilities.

Nice one kid.

haha.. you sound like the 10 year olds of this world... "Its a free country"! haha... whats next you going to say I have "cooties"

 

haha.. you sound like the 10 year olds of this world... "Its a free country"! haha...
Dude you can't EVEN quote me right!! LOL
I said, "Its a free world..."
....when I was in 8th grade....they told me there's a difference between "country" and "world"...
Just proves your inability to read...Once again.....
By the way....who were you expecting me to sound like....Uncle Sam??

Your wife/gf..if you have one... would be able to elaborate on that..LOL
