Contest ($25) Logo contest for car forum

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Wimbledon, Aug 3, 2012.

    This contest will be open for 72 hours and payment by Paypal will be quickly made to the winner.

    Here is the situation. I own one of the larger forums for the new 2013 Dodge Dart car (more information from Wikipedia). My site is at DodgeDartCentral.com.

    2013DodgeDart_400x240.png

    Another competing website just created the design below (4 example pictures) for their website. They will be printing stickers of the design to be attached to their car windows:

    1) http://i47.tinypic.com/5o6p07.jpg

    2) http://i45.tinypic.com/28ai8hz.jpg

    3) http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt130/jeremydobbs42/Dart/sig_nepo.png

    4) http://www.dodge-dart.org/forum/att...73505-dodge-dart-org-logo-decals-img_2387.jpg

    I need a similar design that will instead promote my competing website at DodgeDartCentral.com. The design that you will make must:

    1) Have a similar look using only two colors. Please submit a vector file, so that I can change the size and change the colors. A larger file is better so that the sticker printer can have a high enough resolution image.

    2) Make a different silhouette of the front view of the car. Do not copy the same image that they are using.

    3) For the area on the left, it looks like a brush was used at the edge? I like the idea of a brush, but use a different one so that the logo is not the same.

    4) In the middle, do not write Dodge. Please write there, in Helvetica or Arial font, "DodgeDartCentral.com"

    5) The Dodge Dart can be ordered with two different front ends:

    - Dodge Dart Rallye (middle bar is black):

    http://stwot.motortrend.com/files/2012/04/2013-Dodge-Dart-Rallye-front-1024x640.jpg
    http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt130/jeremydobbs42/Dart/sig_nepo.png

    - Dodge Dart Limited (middle bar is the same color as the car):
    http://homeautodesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/2013-dodge-dart-limited-edition-picture.jpg
    http://i47.tinypic.com/5o6p07.jpg

    Please make two versions, one for Rallye front and one for Limited front. All you need to do is make sure that front middle bar appears or does not appear, as shown in the photos linked above. It would be excellent to have that front middle bar as its own layer, so that I can make the layer visible or invisible as I need it.

    I am excited to see what you can do!

    Here is mine. Front bumper is in its separate layer. I could do something else with the left band if you would like.Also,may I use other font than helvetica/arial? Feedback appreciated.

    rockafello, great work! I especially like the silhouette you made. One improvement that I would like to see is more definition of the 4-pronged crosshair grille, like the example provided.

    Fee free to try another font that you think would fit better. I like the lines underneath "DodgeDartCentral.com".

    I like the current left band, but would like to see a different brush on it -- I think it might be able to be improved.

    What file type is this? A large PSD?

    erichexpert, thank you for your time. I suggest that you read the original post one more time. The car featured must be a 2013 Dodge Dart.

    So far, I really like rockafello's efforts and he is in the lead.

    ataks, thanks for entering the contest.

    However, please read #2 from the original post:

    ---

    2) Make a different silhouette of the front view of the car. Do not copy the same image that they are using.


    ---

    I do not like the colors or left side of your design. A new silhouette is needed.

    Jerlene, thanks for entering the contest.

    The original post mentions that this image needs to be rendered in only two colors.

    rockafello is still leading the contest.

    You want the silhouette of a full front view, or a trimetric view (as been posted in #4)?

    Trimetric is the more accurate term, thank you. A trimetric view is desired.

    My sticker printer just informed me that only vector files can be selected. I apologize if this causes anyone any inconvenience. I can extend the contest another 24 hours if this did inconvenience you.

    crowquill, I am so impressed by your design! Fantastic!

    Was that made as a vector file?

    Is there a version with and without the front bumper insert as described by #5 in the original post? I am actually not sure if that requirement will be necessary, but I would appreciate two versions if it does look good.

    If I were to have my sticker shop print a version in another colour, say red, would your design allow him to easily change the colour?

    Yes Wimbledon,
    It is in vector format (.ai file). Can be enlarged to any size with no loss in quality. You can have one version with no bumper inserted. The colours can easily be changed.

    The designs can be delivered in vector format. I will post another version of my design later today.
