    SORRY, I MEANT TO PUT $15 HEADER CONTEST!!!!!!

    I need a header for my website. It has to be 955 x 455 pixels. It's for a social group for plus size women. I do want the words "Curvy Nation" and room for a tagline when we can think of one. lol

    It has to use the logo from my previous contest.

    [​IMG]

    But, I'm looking something that goes along the "nation" theme....and that can also keep in line with the roadsign logo. I'm flexible when it comes to colors, because I can fix the colors that work with the website. My idea was maybe to have it like you are sitting in a car and you are going down a road and you see the logo on the side of the road. Kind of like this.....

    http://us.fotolia.com/id/7970244

    But, I want the place that you're going to, to look "inviting"....more color than that picture......more lively.....blue sky.....or, maybe instead of a city....there's an amusement park....I don't know...just something fun!

    It's just an idea that came up. If you can think of something better, then feel free to do what you feel.






    I will pay the winner via paypal and will do so within 12 hours of receiving the files.

    I will pick a winner no later than Thursday the 15th by 10pm. If someone submits one that I instantly fall in love with, the contest will end sooner. If no design wins, the contest will be closed with no winner. However, I don't foresee this happening because I've been browsing logo contests and I've seen WONDERFUL submissions.

    You can NOT use copyrighted graphics or content.

    I will have full rights and the designer will not be able to distribute the logo elsewhere. I will give credit to the designer and he/she can give me a banner to put on my website for 1 full year free of charge (to possibly make more money with designing).


    I will leave feedback for each and every design. Please keep in mind that I don't live on the computer, so it might take a little while for the feedback, but it WILL be left.

    Good luck and I can't wait to see the entries!!

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Oh, I don't want it to look "cartoon-ish"...I want it to look more realistic. And, maybe add a speed limit sign or a few other road signs on it. That should be really nice. Thanks!

    Something like this...but leading to a city would be perfect for the background and then putting in the logo and name....

    ASKAG, I like this angle, but if you can get one without any hands in it, it would be great. I just don't want anyone to feel like it's JUST for men, with a man hand...or JUST for women with a female hand. So, just the dashboard would be so much better. And, can you bring the background up more, I can't really tell what that is.

    And, now that I see it, I would prefer a city instead of an amusement park, but I like the car in rear view mirror idea.

    good designer, I REALLY like the car. The road seems a little off on the bottom right. And, like I said above, I think think the amusement park throws it off a little so can you just use a city? And, it's just a little too close up. Can you make it kind of like this?

    but with all the color of a beautiful sky and city...

    Yes Redders, kind of like that...but can you get rid of the trees and it just make it grass? And, Yes, the AUDI sign would have to go. I don't want them to sue me. lol I don't know if this is possible, but can you make the city a little more vibrant in color? And, the logo seems a little too close to me....I don't know, almost like you're getting ready to run over it. lol Or is that how it has to be in order to see it clearly?

    Made changes (grass not trees, sign adjusted and audi logo covered). Tried to brighten up the city a little, can look for alternative, more vibrant city if necessary?

    Ok, don't laugh....I know I said more vibrant....but it's night time...lol

    But, I like it and I love the fact that it's Atlanta. Can you do this one? You might have to change the vibrancy (is that even a word? lol) But, you might have to change the colors in the car and grass to look more "night time" but keeping the fact that you can see what is. Maybe have the headlights shining on the sign? I don't know...lol I'm just throwing ideas out....but I like this skyline.

    I believe this is Atlanta. Darkened grass, inside car and added a headlight shine.
