    Hello,

    I've added some effects and colors so it has more of a web 2.0

    feedback appreciated,

    Thank you,

    Bucko

    Bucko thanks for the effort, I wonder if the green circle rotated slowly if it would solve the 'reading' the text problem?
    MantisArt good try but I need something more unique, ribbon and globe is pretty common and clipart'ish
    stellah57 still looks very much like a few cliparts put together, really want something unique with some sort of 'wow' factor.

    If anyone needs to modify the text a bit to somehow make their graphic work that is ok, my words are just stating the message I want to get across .

    hello,

    thank you for the feedback, although I must admit I don't know exactly what I should do with the circle. Should the text start elsewhere? Is the graphic apart from the text OK?

    Thank you,

    Bucko

    l3fty bright but not exactly what I am looking for
    Cissed still not that unique looking

    here is a sample of one I like, not to mean I want ours to look anything like that but this is a good example of a well made badge http://350.brighterplanet.com/

    As I said above, I DON'T want ours to look like that one. I want something unique.

    hello

    a new concept, everything except the grass in the badge is custom drawn (grass is actually a symbol from illustrator, but I can redraw it myself if necessary)

    The size is not exact (not 160*160 but somewhere around 160*169, 120*127...)

    If there are any color preferences please let me know, I can also apply light or more shades if necessary to make it glossier and more web 2.0

    Feedback appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Bucko

    added some effects, and made the text look like it's coming out fo the surface, not as flat as it was

    not: if the upper light reflection is too bright I can reduce it, same goes for everything else

    feedback appreciated,

    thank you

    reduced opacity of the light + noticed that the right lower edge is a bit strong so I changed the color


    feedback much appreciated, and if you don't like it would be nice to know also :)

    Thank you,

    Bucko

    warpser I like the band of gold at the bottom but the rest looks very clipart'ish

    well with that sort of feedback I can hardly make it better can I :)

    if you tell me what doesn't work for you I can maybe make it better, otherwise I wish you good luck with the contest

    regards,

    bucko I think for that design is good and I don't have advice to make it look any better but it just is not unique enough to be what I am looking for. Maybe with some better images in the back and another color (blue) implemented it would look better. I just don't think that specific design has the 'wow' factor I am looking for.

    I am also a little surprised I did not get more entries for the prize offered, it seems much higher than the standard $25-$40 most are offering for a logo.
