Okay I’m posting a $150 header/logo contest. The contest will last 2 weeks…ending June 13th. I reserve the right to cancel the contest early if I find a design I want to use. I also reserve the right to not choose a winner if I don’t find a design I would like to use. I will be paying the winner via paypal. If you do NOT have paypal please PM me to discuss other payment options BEFORE you post your attempt. If there are any further questions about the rules of this contest please PM me. Now on to the good stuff… The banner/logo is for a sports website I’m creating. The site is called TheFanPit.com “the ultimate in online tailgatingâ€. It’s a sports site designed for the everyday sports fan. The main feature is forums. Our goal is to eventually discuss topics on almost every sport but as we start we are focusing everything on the NFL. I would prefer a logo that doesn’t limit the site to one sport or another but if it does I’d prefer the NFL for now. I really want the logo to focus on the fan. Give the sense that this is the online hang out for fans everywhere. A place where fans can learn, voice their opinion, and occasionally talk a little trash to each other. I would like the logo to be something we could simply transfer to a t-shirt, flyers, stickers, etc. I don’t really have anything in mind to start with. I’ll try and give as much feedback as possible as we go along. In the header you can use actual pictures of real people or cartoons. I’m really open to seeing anything and everything. May the most creative win!! The one idea I had (and please don’t limit yourself to this because I’d like to see other stuff too) was a font similar to the logo here http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/. And the “The†would have a football field background, “Fan†a baseball diamond, and “Pit†a basketball court…almost like a cookie cutter. Just an idea. Feel free to do anything and use any colors!! Enjoy!
Hey guys, sorry I didn't really mention header sizes in my initial post. I'd like as close to 800 x 200-300 pix. Nothing over 800x300.
I’m impressed with the three entries so far! I want everyone to know I have some partners in this website. Before I give feedback I want to get their opinion. I don’t want to tell someone I really like their design and then my partners hate it. It wouldn’t be fair to flip flop like that. The reason I’m telling you is because this may slow down the process of me giving you feedback. I know when you submit your design you’re eager to know what the person thinks about it. I apologize for any delays but please know I WILL be giving feedback as fast as possible. I’m just trying to be as fair as possible in my assessment. Thanks for your work! Things are looking good so far!
Will try and get a submission in later tonight; got a backlog to clear first! Good luck with contest.
Sorry Mac, I don't know how to make it big like the others. At least now we can just click on it. It looks good!
