$30 simple design competition +$10 bonus (Easiest comp on DP)

I am looking to have a great looking RSS box created for the website www.OilPrice.com
If you take a look at the site – on the right hand side under the charts you will see a box with a blue top and white letters that says: Receive Free Research & News.

This is what I’m looking to replace.
I will need it to fit in with the rest of the site – it must look classy and professional – no garish colours or anything too clever as the audience is very unforgiving.

Prize: $30 paid via paypal to the winner – I always pay
Prize for words: $10 – if someone comes up with some great copy for the words to use that will help persuade people to join I will pay them $10
Competition end date: 21/11/2009 at 12:00 PM GMT

I would like to see individual designs and also for the ones I like superimposed into a copy of the site.
So basically if you’ve ever seem a great looking/worded RSS/newsletter sign up box – do something similar for this 

The size is pretty good as is – but I’m willing to look at slightly larger boxes.

Here are a few ideas: www.Theglobalguru.com www.goldandoilguy.com

Good luck

 

Please give feedback about these:





Thanks.

 

Thanks...

 

Thanks for the entries – here’s some feedback:

Buncoh – I like it. It’s clean and professional looking – just right for the audience.
The only thing is it’s too big – could you please make it a little smaller. Also remove the logo as it really isn’t needed – still – it looks good.

Klavier – I can’t see anything – please re-post.

Looking forward to seeing some more entries.

 

Revision:

 

if you want it to be a bit more catchy

 

Bezzina – I like it – very good colours and looks good on the site – could it be a bit smaller though – as it is just too large. The second entry is also good with the flashing Free – I will need to think about that one a bit more

Nidhi – Thanks for the entry -sadly it’s not the sort of thing I’m after

Buncoh – Very nice – it’s much better now – is it possible to shrink it a little more and see how it would look on the site?

 

227x330 pixels.

 

196x312

There it is resized a bit smaller. I can also do a larger button if you would like, as well as stop the animation!
Let me know and hopefully we can work things out!

 

my try...


copy cat....stay away....

 

Here's my concept...

I'll be working on finishing (Font styling and adding more colors)

 

Here's the finishing




Waiting for feedback

 

I will be extending this competition until the same time on Monday.

Buncoh – You are currently in the lead. The design is clear and clean – very nice. Is it possible to shrink it a little more – Length wise (the width is perfect) So there is some space under the submit button and I think other areas where it could be compacted “a little”

Bezzina – looks good – you’re in 2nd place

Ing_pacz – Thanks for the entry – sadly it’s not what I’m looking for.

Xhanch – The size is pretty good – sadly the design isn’t what I’m after.

Looking forward to seeing more entries.

 

Thanks for the feedback..
So, the words OK right? I just need to work with the fonts and background, right?

 

Xhanch - i won't use your words - but you can stick with them for now.
The problem is with the colours - it just doesn't work for me.

 

OK, got it...
I'll be working on the revision
