$20 Avatar (kind of) simple contest, payment via paypal

Hi talented people,

This is a simple one. I need to have some kind of avatar for ebay that needs upgrading badly. This is the current avatar (which needs changing):



Requirements: must be square I have found when displayed on ebay a square shape looks more noticeable.

Must contain the picture of this bag below



Must contain the picture of the attached milk logo





Must also contain somewhere the words: pr*oteindirect (remove the star)

The picture does not need to have a red frame like in the original avatar. You can also change the colour of the background. You can write pr*oteindirect at the bottom if so you wish or on the side.

The milk logo must be part of the avatar and it's ok if it covers part of the bag. Although the milk logo must be part of the avatar it can appear small and not fully readable.

Winner gets paid via paypal. I will let this run for 2-3 days but if I see something I really like I will close this sooner.

I realise the prize is not that big but please note proteindude always picks a winner and I always provide feedback.

Any questions please ask. Winner gets $20 via paypal. When submitting entries please show the entry the size of a typical avatar.

Feedback is appreciated.

 

jokers, thanks for getting things started. It is a touch plain. The colours you used for pr*otein and direct are not me. I like something a touch brighter. The one thing I think it looks good is how you wrote pr*otein in a bigger font than direct.

 

hi julian ... nice to see you again

 

Lady, definitely looking good and thanks for entering this. Stylish and elegant. My only suggestion would be to use red instead of gold and I tell you why: when you see many avatars when you do a search on ebay gold doesn't seem to stand out. It looks stylish but doesn't stand out. Also with avatars I personally like to use as much space as possible. That is why I would make pr*oteindirect bigger and I would perhaps move the milk logo at the bottom. Don't get me wrong, I am not asking for changes, I am just giving you my feedback. However if you want to do changes you are more than welcome to do so. I usually just pick a couple of finalists and that is when I ask for changes.

watari: good to see you too mate. Thanks for the entry. I'll get straight to the point because I know you can take it I don't like the font you used for pr*oteindirect. It looks too average. Also, I like brighter colours and the red you used doesn't look bright enough especially where it fades into some shades of pink. Other than that it looks good.

Tranzemaniac: thanks for the submission. Looks good but still a few flaws: although I like the extra two bags, I get the feeling they may look like something's wrong with the picture especially when it's going to be the size of the avatar. I like that thin black line all around the avatar but I think it would look better in red. However, what I'm not a big fan of is that gold you used for direct. Looks on my screen like army green. I also think the milk logo would have looked better if it was tilted on the left corner not on the right one as it is at the moment. I'm not asking for changes but I like to give contestants my thoughts which can be wrong sometimes But at least you know how I feel. Just now I noticed the ones with a golden background but they are definitely not me.

LucyChase: thanks for the entries. I appreciate the bodybuilder, good idea but it needs to be removed. That is because many of the clients are women and I'm trying to promote more of an inclusive image rather than a bodybuildery one. As far as pr'oteindirect fonts and colours I like the silver one especially on the yellow background. I'm not sure but the bag looks a touch squashed. The one I like the most is the yellowish one even though I think I'd prefer a red background (your red background one is not bright enough for me). Overall I think your entries look a little (just a little) older style and I would prefer something more modern.

 

Here's my entry.



Please give feedback.

 

hiii there julain how are u ??

thanks for the contest

here is my concept



thanks again

 

webtechnocrat: thanks but it's not something I'm after. pr*oteindirect font you used doesn't look modern enough for me. Also the blurry part is not something that I really like. The stripes on the side also make the photo look a touch blurry and if anything I would rather have the photo of the bag and the milk logo stand out.

evolva: good to see you again. The bag and the milk logo look sharp which is good. The gray background is not doing it for me. Also I hope you don't mind me saying it but it looks a little unbalanced somehow. I think pr`oteindirect should be going from one side to the other rather than be somewhere in the middle.

Guys, thanks for the entries and I will be back in a few hours because right now I need to do something millions of Australians do every day and that is to get some rest

 

One more attempt
