I’m looking to have two banner ads created to represent www.oilprice.com They will be running on multiple sites – so I would like them to be VERY professional looking and generic as I am trying to bring Professional Traders and Fund Managers on board. Prize: $100 - $50 for each design Competition: 468x60 Banner and 180x180 banner Contest End: Thursday 11th Feb at 18:00 GMT Please post entries on the thread – NOT via PM Regular Feedback given I would like the ads to look very professional. They are appealing to a very sophisticated audience. I would also like you to use Animated GIF as it will be necessary to get the info in the ad. If you have to cut certain parts I’m also willing to take a look as well. I’m pretty much open to all ideas at this stage – but I do like HYMarkets ads. They are always very professional and appeal to the right audience. If you want to use the logo go ahead – but I DO NOT want the ads to look too busy. The information must be well spaced out and easy to read. These ads also represent our site (which is serious) so this should be reflected. Ad details are below: 468x60 FREE Daily Intelligence Report! Global Big Picture Analysis for Traders and Investors Previously only available to govt’s & Intelligence agencies Covering Energy, Economics, Geopolitics & Risk management 180x180 (I’d also like it to work 180x150) FREE Daily Intelligence Report! Global Big Picture Analysis covering Energy, Economics & Geopolitics If you can put it in please insert: Get tomorrows news today! But I don’t want the ads to look too busy. I look forward to seeing your designs.
Do you want a flash banner or only animated gif?? As the HY Market's banner at your site is a flash banner.
just an animated gif - Flash isn't necessary. I just used the HYMarkets as an example of a nice/professional looking ad
To be honest i'm open to all ideas at this stage - all i can say is that i would like it neat and professional.
I can change text speed to slower or faster if you want. If you like this version, I will make it in 180x180 too
Okay guys – thanks for your entries – here is some feedback: TindiRindi – Thanks for the entry. It’s neat and clean – but really not the sort of thing I’m after. The logo just takes up too much room. Thepunnisher87 – it’s interesting – but it’s just too bold – it needs to have an element of subtlety to it and the Harsh red really doesn’t achieve this. Gladiatus – it’s interesting and subtle – but this is the other way and is a bit too subtle – you could miss it. Hpgraphic – I’m not keen on the letters you’ve used – it just makes it difficult to read. For the 468x60 it’s nice – but just too busy – people won’t read all of the info. Thepunnisher87 – For the 468x60 you are definitely on the right track – I’d like to see it with other colours and maybe have less space devoted to the OilPrice.com logo Looking forward to seeing more designs.
Competition to be extended by 24 hours Hi everyone – here is some more feedback: Thepunnisher87 – I like these colours – the black one looks pretty good and gets the message across. Biruhato – Very nice – both are neat and professional looking. The 180x180 – The first words: FREE Daily Intelligence Report – are good – but just a bit too in your face. Is it possible to have it with the sentence: Covering, Energy, Economics, etc… As this will help balance it out – but I would like it to stand out as well. The 468x60 is nice – but it just looks a little squeezed – is there anything you can do here? Yugo – it’s an interesting idea but I’m afraid it doesn’t work for me. Xiaeron – it’s nice, simple and professional looking – I don’t really like the way the words populate the space though – it’s a bit aggressive. Looking forward to more entries.
baps - i like them - a lot. Very neat and they also get the info across. Will you be able to do a 180x180 design as well. You are in 1st place with Burihato a close second
