$30 Paypal - Banners Contest - Clean Web 2.0 Design Needed

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by jg123, May 12, 2008.

    Hi, I need a set of three banners (same design, different size and text) for my site, www.torontoSEOfirm.com

    Design should be simple, web 2.0'ish and the sizes are:

    234x40 - using text similar to this - Click here to request a complimentary search engine ranking report.

    234x40 - using text similar to this - Click here to receive a free quote on a monthly SEO/SEM package .

    240x120 - using text similar to this - More info on custom SEO/SEM packages starting at $300 per month - Get a free, no obligation quote now.

    I am ok with a small amount of animation as long as the file size stays small. I might offer a second prize of $15 if there are lots of quality entries.

    The contest will run for at least 72 hours or until I find a suitable winner. I reserve the right to cancel this contest if there are no quality entries.

    thanks

    Ok yugo I will keep an eye out for your entry.

    Please no submissions via PM, you must post them here. I was also asked about the color scheme and my reply is to just use what is on the blog now, colors a fairly basic.

    thanks

    Thanks for the entries,

    ECO4 I am looking for something a little more professional.
    YUGO heading in the right direction but need them to be more creative and clean.

    I will let this contest run for another 36 hours.

    So far all the submissions look about the same - I need a little dash of creativity in them, they also need to look more professional - I can barely read the text on a couple of them.

    A variation of the text that might fit better is taking out the words 'click here'

    thanks

    graphicsunplug better than the ones above you but needs some work to be near twinklestar.

    twinklestar that is the quality I have been looking for - the 'click here' could be a bit smaller. Could you use a different color than the yellow (it is a bit loud), something other than the arrows would be better in the first one

    I have two versions of the 240 x 120 banner here - one with a background thing and one without. If you like them, I will make similar themed versions for the smaller sizes.

    Thanks GreenleafElf17 - Looks nice, for the small version I don't need the graphics in the bottom left though. - I don't see a difference in them?

    Can you do rounded corners and take away the words 'more info'

    Mainly, one has a subtle couple of "waves" in the background and one doesn't...I'll admit they're a bit hard to see, heh. Anyways, fixed the banner...more rounded corners?...too much?...just tell me what you think!

    now that there are less words greenleafelf17 could you make the font a little bigger? Also could you make the background a little lighter to better match the blue of the site?

    thanks

    Made the font several points bigger, and used colors directly from your site. What do you think? :)

    GreenleafElf17 Can I also see one without the click here button, instead it can say Click here to get a free quote now?

    I also want to give twinklestar a chance to submit some changes.

    thanks

    How's this?

    And that's understandable - I'll just be off finishing cooking dinner, so I'll be back later. :)
