$30 Logo and Header Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Brewster, Oct 25, 2007.

    Site background: My new site is called "DVD for a dollar" (www.dvdforadollar.com) and displays ebay auctions for cheap DVDs

    Look: I want a simple/subtle, web 2.0 looking banner that contains a brandable logo. The banner size should be 760 x 140. At the moment the site does not have any colour, and as I am not very good at choosing colour combinations, I will leave that to you to suggest.

    Prize: $30 via Paypal

    Time: Contest runs until Saturday, November, 3rd. However, I may cut the contest short if I receive an entry I like

    Thanks and good luck!

    Thanks for the entries so far. However I am not seeing anything that catches my eye. I want a logo that represents cheap DVDs in some way.

    Neil: Yours is the best so far, however the logo needs some work, and I think the colours need to be more eye catching

    TDGraphics: Good effort, however I want something a bit more original and not based on ebay's logo.

    fxuxl: Good effort also, and it is growing on me, but at the moment it has too many colours.

    Looking forward to seeing more entries

    Thanks for all of the entries. Here is some feedback.

    matafixer - Your entry doesnt feel like a web 2.0 design to me. I am after more colour and a simple brandable logo.

    DoubleJ519 - This is getting closer to what I am after. I like the concept. Could you smooth out the jagged edges on the letters and make the background cleaner?

    LoneWolf9378 - A nice simple design which I like, although I am not sure about the circle with the dollar sign in the background. If you want to resubmit, could you change the wording to "DVD for a dollar" instead of "DVD's for a dollar". Excellent effort.

    NsaneNoob - Your design is too dark for my liking

    Thanks again for taking the time to contribute.

    Thanks for the feedback, I've smoothed out the text and have 2 different backgrounds. One is lighter than the original:

    And here is one with just a pure white background.

    If you have any other ideas in mind for the background, please let me know! :)
