    Hi Dp'rs

    It's been a while. Back once again with a contest that I think you will all like ;)

    Brief:
    I am starting a new concept site for the Dance music / DJ community. - The site is www [dot] DesertIslandDecks [dot] com (Please translate [dot] to . )

    A logo is required that is themed around a DJ and his/her decks playing on a desert Island. DJ Silhouette's I think work best. Against colourful Desert Island, needs to be bright / funky / pastels / retro / modern. Colours used will be the basis of the eventual site theme and template. No Dark themes please.
    Think HedKandi without the beautiful vector ladies.

    The background must be scalable as it will be used on the landing page until the site is up and running

    Important Points.
    • No crowd should be shown. The DJ is on a deserted island after all :)
    • No direct copies of this Image of Desert Island Disks.
    • The text for the www. & .com must be on a seperate layer to the logo. - For easy removal and changing to other TLD's - Please dont use an obscure font that I cant find. Google Fonts are preferred. Full details of font used must be supplied at contest closure.
    • End file format should be in layered PSD.
    • Should look good in web and in print and be scalable.

    Bonus
    A Bonus payment of $15 will go to the winner if they deliver a suitable Favicon & Avatar (One suitable for Twitter / Facebook / Google+ etc)

    Deadline:
    24 hours from now - Sunday 15th April 21:45 (CET) (Extension only if nothing suitable)

    Payment:
    Prompt payment Via PayPal.

    Cheers & Good Luck,
    2xs

    P.S. Please do not submit entries via PM.

    @Faizann20 - I like both of these - Can you show a lighter colour scheme for the top design with a more defined silhouette. Thanks

    Hi DP'rs,

    As there only 2 hours to the original deadline with 2 submissions from 1 artist, I am extending the contest deadline by 48hours.

    If any part of the brief is unclear or anyone needs more information, please reply to the thread or PM.

    Here is hoping that we get some more entries.

    If you are planning to enter and it will before the contest finish, just write 'Im IN' in the post.

    Thanks,
    2xs

    Hi Logos4all,

    Thanks for entering. 2 small change requests.

    Remove the bottom www.desertislanddecks.com and increase the hight of the block lettering to take the space.
    Show some different pastel variations in the background colour - but your on track... Sunset, Beach :)

    Cheers,
    2xs

    Hi Watari,

    Thanks for entering, your submission is appreciated. Couple of quick points.

    Can you add an extra turntable.
    Change the rapper to a DJ mixing or DJ Silhouette
    Enhance the palm trees to be a little less colour saturated and more real.

    Thanks,
    2xs

    Hi Logos4all,

    Great revisions, thanks. The first one is my preference to tweak.

    Can you bring down the water level, so that its highest point is below the Seagull on the right.
    Make the decks a bit more Technics like and add a mixer. Something similar to below, but not as detailed:

    Great effort so far.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    For this take the concept - A Desert Island = Beach (No better place to party - except the DJ is on his own)
    More info on the original concept can be found here and here

    I would like to see a wide range of entries. The site theme has just been chosen upon and it will look like a old run down beach shack.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,
    2xs

    Excellent revisions Logos4All and Watari.

    My partner will now review all submitted so far and give her input. You cant beat a woman's attention to detail :)

    Thanks for the effort so far :)

    Hey qw3rtty,

    Good see your submission - My contests are not complete without a qw3rtty entry.
    As with the others can you add a mixer.
    Bring down the height of the waves, it looks like a small Tsunami is about to hit :-D
    Thanks,
    2xs
