$15-$25 Logo Design Contest

    Hello Designers!

    I'm in need of a new Logo for my site: CouponPhonics.com

    As you can see, the current logo that I have (in the upper left) is just the block text 'Coupon Phonics' and isn't a real logo at all. I do want the logo to say 'Coupon Phonics' in it somewhere, but something visually appealing is really what I am looking for (maybe some cool graphics too). The site is a 'coupon / deals' site, so keep that in mind. Also, the site uses a very Black gradient theme, so it should mesh with the rest of the site's structure.

    I am looking for a new CLEAN web 2.0 style logo that I can use not only for the header of my site but also elsewhere (ads, print, ect). The logo should have a transparent background (aka, not have a white background), so I can put it over different places without having to worry if it's going to mesh with the background. The dimensions for the logo are: 284x60

    I am also looking for a new background header image. Currently you can see that I am using this background image and am looking for something to replace it and go along with the new logo. The dimentions are 960x140 and MUST have the rounded corners as the current one has. (*the background and the logo should be separate images).

    PAYMENT: If you only want to do the Logo, the winner will get $15. If you want to design both the background header image and the logo, the winner will get $25 (total).

    If I pick the logo from one person and the background from another, the winner of the logo will get $15 and the winner of the background will get $10.

    If that's confusing, let me know and I will try to clarify a bit better.

    I will be running this contest for 14 days but CAN AND WILL stop the contest at any time if a design really impresses me and I call it the winner, so the faster the better!

    Have fun!!!

    That's 'ok' but I can't really read the "phonics" part... and it seems much bigger than a 284x60

    Cool, I look forward to more entries.

    Remember... this is a 2 part contest, so you can go for either or both parts!

    Keep up the good work!

    Not bad. Nothing has really blown me away yet... I'm really looking for something "web2.0" style with the glassy look and feel. Aso, a transparant background would be key!

    Keep it up guys! :)

    Yeah, it guess it just looks a bit flat and plain... I am really looking for something with that web2.0 / 3D glassy feel to it... something that people will remember looking at.

    I know, I know...sounds like I'm being picky, but I love that glassy look!

    That's not bad! Would it be able to be on a transparent background as opposed to the white background?
