I will post my entry very soon
Thanks.

 

sarsh11- The lower right one looks good!

 

Hello,
Here is my entry:

Hope you like it,
Thanks.

 

I have a few ideas for a favicon...here's a couple of them.

 

*removed* only to be reuploaded..

 

That "100% original" grass is the 9th one of the stock shapes in my Photoshop. lol

 

Thanks for the contest. Here is my first try. You said you didn't want text in the header, but I wasn't sure if that also excluded the logo. It can be removed if you like.

 

edit: new version posted below

 

Yes, but not 100% original.

One other idea for a favicon.

 

Original idea, and image is 100% original thanks for the heads up bros

Feedback appreciated!

 

The heads up?! As if you didn't know you were a liar and we did you a favor by calling your attention to it? LOL I'm speechless.

 

Well i guess i was an idiot and didn't realize that i had infact used the photoshop custom shape. Dude drop it and contribute some work and quit wasting the contest holders time

 

here is my design .. feedback please

 

"Dude", you need to scroll up.

 

xxxplatinium - Looks great, can you make the text a bit smaller or the sphere larger? The logo looks disproportionate with the empty space above the company name.

GreenleafElf17 - I love the leaf Favicon!

jackieh1791 - Great job for your first submission! Both shades of green in the logo look good, but the drop just doesnt do it for me. I know I was vague with hat I wanted in the header, I just need a plain header without a logo or text in it. At the bottom of this post I have listed a site with royalty free, public domain images, I hope it helps!

thelebeau - I did state that listing non royalty free images will disqualify you.. one question that needs to be answered is- Is the plant in your logo your own creation or was it based off of the stock shapes in Photoshop, as jackieh1791 said?

itrungs - Your submission looks great, would it be possible to use more green rather than an all blue image?


I've noticed there was only one header submission. I understand its difficult to come up with non copyrighted images so I found a site to hopefully help with that topic:

publicdomainpictures.net lists royalty free stock photos, all images are free for commercial and personal use and would be great for a header in whole or in spliced together:
http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/hledej.php?hleda=field
http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/hledej.php?hleda=green
http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/hledej.php?hleda=biofuel

Maybe someone creative can take a few pictures and splice them together?


Thank you all for your submissions so far

 

Thanks for the feedback. So you don't want anything but pictures in your header? No logo?

 

Thanks tons for the input. As I'm not the greatest with logos, I'd also like to possibly make a header entry...so I shall try and find time tonight (or tomorrow) to put in an entry. (Finding time for stuff like this is crazy when you have a 2 month and a 2 year old to keep tabs on, LOL!)
