Here is my shot at it... At the risk of blowing any chance of winning this contest, I think your comment was a bit rude. There are new designers who could use encouragement or at the very least a simple, "It's not what I'm looking for". When you don't give any feedback, you can't expect to get a design you are satisfied with.
Agreed. You've got at least 7-8 hours of work here, and the least that you can do is give some feedback rather than just discarding them without a nice comment. It just shows a complete lack of thought, and you're not the sort of person who I would like myself to be working with.
I'll give you some advice mate. Focus on your typography more... why on earth would a finance related site want a typeface that looks like slime? There is simply no connotation of finance with that font.
Thanks. Actually I am little confused of the Thread starter's expectation. He PMed stating he liked something in my try. So, I thought that the font should have attracted him. So, just sticked on with it.
no problem mate, typography is one of the hardest disciplines in design. A good way to start is to get some keywords going. E.g. what do you think of when you hear the word 'finance'? Formal, Important, Authoritative, Elegant/Traditional... methods like this can be really helpful
This is got to be the best I've seen. Great work. This contest will end in 24 hours. If I don't see anything better, I will declare this the winner.
