    - We need a logo and a banner for this website: bwatersprinting [dot] com

    - It is for an e-commerce store that offer printing services (post cards and newspapers) so try to integrate such theme in the banner

    -The banner should have 4 menu buttons

    - Attached is the original logo designed by the store owner, you can use that (add to it or improve it), but obviously change the black to blue, because the website has a blue theme.

    - looking for a new and fresh design , i don't want something you took from free designs

    - The design should include a NEW logo design or an improved logo.

    - looking for a clean, fresh, web 2.0

    - will run this for 1 day - deadline is Wednesday Noon EST (NY time)

    - I reserve the right to not choose any design entered if none suit our needs correctly.

    - I will give as much feedback as possible to help everyone develop their ideas in full

    - User will have to send the .psd file with all the images he/she used .

    - Payment via paypal only and once payment is made, we become the owner of the psd file

    price : 30$

    Bonus : 10$ if the design make us :eek::cool::eek:

    So... I guess I kinda ignored your mentioning of integrating post cards and such into the header, so sorry for that. Also, its pretty dark compared to your current site, so I don't know if your into it.

    But anyways, regarding the design: The blue "About Us" button is showing what the button would look like if you were to "roll-over" it. Also, I redesigned the logo, but kept with it's basic design and tried to make it look more Web 2.0.

    If you have any suggestions or want me to change something in the design, just let me know. =P

    Good job guys, here is some detailed feedback for everyone, please work on them quick if you can:

    1) edzzus07:
    Please use 1 color (blue) instead of two colors, and use the blue color we're using on the site. Are you going to work on the banner too?

    2) Frenzi:
    Looking forward to see your change, because right now, I am not crazy about it. We are seeing better.

    3) Tgeo888:
    I like your menu buttons, but the banner is too dark for our site. We are maintaining a blueish theme.
    The logo is pretty basic.

    4) RNHalawi.com:
    Please try to use blue as a main color, not black.
    I like the website at the bottom, that was a nice integration.
    I hope the buttons change color when hovering.
    The logo, I think it can be better still.
    I like it the way you're thinking.

    5) V99:
    I like this design, But, I am not so sure about the water.
    Do the buttons have hover affect?

    Over all, I'm seeing nice designs, but everyone ignored the addition of newspapers and/or card images in the banner.

    You can be innovative, look at these examples and see if you can get ideas:
    http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/images/nns/common/vp_logo.gif?langid=1
    http://www.overnightprints.com/ (notice the postcards on the right)
    http://www.postcardpress.com/cgi-bin/postcardpress/?gclid=CKGk2YTUjJECFTgrOAod0wuyGQ
    http://www.printingforless.com/images/newlogo3.gif
    http://www.cactusmailing.com/


    Don't take any designs from these sites (or any other sites) these just to help you think along those lines.

    Good luck everyone
    looking forward to seeing your updates!

    Thank you :)

    Here is the update:

    V99:
    Much better! I like it a lot already:
    -can you make the pictures clear, not blurred out?
    -can you take out the c from the logo?
    -Also, would u add a stack of newspapers to the pictures? a small picture, doesn't have to be big.

    RNHalawi.com:
    Much better too! I like it:
    -I wouldn't change anything at this point, but please try to incorporate a stack of newspapers as one of the pictures or something.

    Tgeo88:
    -thank you for the input, I think it's a bit busy though.


    I am sending all three to the website owner for review, I will send him the updates as I get them!

    Good luck everyone!

    Another take:
    [​IMG]

    I'm not entirely sure about the guys above, but if you choose me, you can be completely confident that nothing in my banner is copyrighted. How do I know that? Because the pictures in the post cards are ones I've taken myself.

    Hi all,

    I got the review from the owner of the website, and here they are:

    V99:
    He really likes your banner, but would like to take out the words below the pictures "Prints Postcards.." Please take them out.
    Thanks for the new addition!

    RNHalawi:
    Your banner is a favorite as well, but would rather use font similar to V99.
    Thanks for adding the newspapers in there!

    Tgeo88:
    I will submit for review with the others today!

    If you make those small changes tonight, we'll pick the winner tonight!
    Good job everyone!
