Contest $50 to help in modifying a wordpress theme website along with logo and headers, etc..

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by hiddenox, Apr 4, 2010.

    UPDATES: Agreed for contesters to do the logo first with how it should look on the website and paper. And the winner of the best logo and a portfolio to show there capability in wordpress and theme authoring, will take half the payment to continue working on the theme customisation... Also Prize for all the work is increased :).

    Logo need to look very professional, shows innovation and creativity. However shouldn't avoid big companies from contacting us so needs to look serious. Current logo is basic text however we like it as its serious and consistent on websites and on paper. Also consider the logo goes to any ifon or application we develop so it needs to fit there. And also would be good if the logo has a symbol which can be used as a favicon


    Original Post

    Okay, here is the plan, I bought this theme: http://bit.ly/9ZGuAA

    And now I want to modify it to look professional but its ending catastrophic. I used my basic logo *As seen in the snapshot* but I am not feeling comfortable with it.. Headers as you see isn't looking good. And the promotional area isn't looking good. I want you to get ideas to make this theme look unique and professional on the website. P.S: you can change the background color of the content from the backend through the theme settings if you have a killer concept to make it look Really good and professional.

    I was also looping for icons to use in the minifeatures area that look good. This business help small and medium businesses to develop ifone apps, mobile apps, marketing strategies, process improvement for the companies workflow. And the key that it gives each business one consultant that they can speak with directly any time 7 days a week. and the consultant coordinate all the work on there behalf. The work done is based on innovation, creativity, Being unique and effective.. And very professional.

    Submit your entries and if you need access to the server to test the components directly, PM me.
    I prefer if you good experience working with wordpress. And am open for your suggestions

    P.S: If your work is outstanding, I am willing to work with you on long term and may throw a bonus paymnt too for this work. Make me happy, and I will make you happy :)

    Be VERY careful with that. Giving out 3rd party server access to some random person off a forum is risky to say the least.

    Doing it, for accessing the server for me that's no problem, I did it with another user here and sent me positive feedback for this. You can check my first Itrader point.

    Another version: I tried adding some glow but no, glows are not a good option especially if you want something printable and elegant.

    I am preparing something different for the start button.

    Just for documentation purpose. This was the feedback given yesterday.

    We think the first one is okay. Second and third isn't good.
    Details:

    We like the power icon. However if we can make the power icon look very unique that would be perfect. So when people look at this unique power symbol anywhere they would remember us.
    Power button perhaps to have some glow to make people feel we empower there business. Perhaps black and glowing red?. I don't know..
    Colors are a bit dull we think. * if the power button is black and glowing red, perhaps change it to match these colors?.
    The logo should look good when printed on business cards or website or when posted on an application.
    Perhaps loose the line splitting consultants from the middle and just keep it for Said only.

    Would it look good if we have a version that Consultants written under said to save space when put on ifon application's about page or on letter head paper?
    I like the Said Part with the wave inside.
    Strap line is good. However if you have any other suggestions let me know..

    If you have any other innovative concepts, please let me know....

    Too classy. Fit more estate agent compaies. Not for creative and innovative consultancy company that empower people's businesses through technology.

    I like your previous entry more with as power button has the wave inside it filling it. Perhaps a combination of this version with the brushed aluminium and the previous entry together as explained in the feedback will do. (i.e. including the wave filling into the power button in the brushed aluminium. "This will also make it look less like apple's product")

    Here are the points:
    Try another color variety. Perhaps Red?
    Loose the line splitting consultants from the middle and just keep the wave for Said and the power button.
    Power button with the blue wave is good. Perhaps just a bit tweaking to make it look like the blue area is a progress being done. So people when see it would have the feeling that it is getting filled. This gives the people that we are empowering there business.

    If we went with this. I would then like to have a gif with the wave filling the power button.

    On another note. Strap line is good. I would be very interested to know about your thoughts if you have any other strap lines on your mind.

    No, We wanted it to be filled through waves as the wave in Said in the other logo. Same two color shades and moving as a wave.

    Can we first try try other color scheme in the logo and put the wave in the power button as Said in the logo.
    These are good color schemes:
    This green on the top bar: http://bit.ly/cd1xPP
    This Orange in the logo: http://bit.ly/aMxlpK
    A Dark Glossy Red that looks fluidy..



    A note to everybody, if no more posts added before 12 AM GMT. *One hour time*. I will close the contest. From the private PMs and public ones, YoGem is on the top of the list so far . :) .
