Two (2) Days Only Ends on June 8 at 8:00 PM, PST I leave green rep for all contestants. OK, I will pay $35 to whoever posts the sweetest replacement logo/header for ww w. ess aytow n.com/edit orsoft ware/ (remove the blank spaces). 1. I want the concept to remain the same (freeway sign of your design). You can integrate any symbols that you would see on a freeway sign in the United States. 2. Main wording should be "Automatic Editing Software from Ess ayTo wn" [remove blank spaces from last word] 3. Semi-main wording should be "Since 2001" 4. Completely ignore the existing text in the current logo/sign. For the new header/logo/sign that you create, I want to use the following texts in whatever way that you can fit them (animation for this part is OK, as long as it won't make the page slow): "Integrates with Microsoft Word to automatically edit any document" "Instantly corrects errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and word use" "Amateurs can publish documents that would impress professional authors" "ESL speakers don't have to worry about mistakes in their English writing" "Students will receive better grades due to proper form and structure" That's it--let the "creativity competition" begin!
The final version would have fading effects, if I were to be the winner. This is just a sketch. Any comments will be appreciated.
Daisama, I would like to see some color contrast by mixing in some freeway sign symbols similar to those used in my home page logo. I think the flashing text is currently too fast and small, but it's a great start to this contest! I do love the font you've chosen. Green rep given!
Ouch, I just hit my head on the ceiling! That is SWEET, Ariestoteles. 1. I'd like to add one more statement to the animation that I forgot: "Impress any employer with a well-written, flawless resume" 2. I'd like to see the empty center region filled in with images of essays/book reports/term papers with "A+" written on them, and a resume with "Hired!" stamped on it. If they could appear to be "blowing by in the wind," that would be even cooler. 3. Please make the "Since 2001" interstate icon more clear. FYI, you can find many of these types of blank freeway symbol icons at http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&text="road+signs"&filetypeID=7&x=14&y=8 4. Please make the capital F in "From" lower case. 5. I think if the green sign has shadowing, then its pole and the other sign should have shadowing, too. Green rep given!
I think it might be interesting to break this into two separate signs of different size, on the same pole (sort of like the logo on my home page). The smaller sign will contain the animated text. The arrow can be removed. The interstate symbol is nice. You should probably center it at the top of one of the signs. Whatever fits and looks best.
Definitely better! 1. Can you remove all of the sun reflection (leaving only the darker green) and make the blue/red more vibrant? 2. Can you center the interstate symbol better? 3. I'd like to use more realistic poles, sort of like the ones at http://www.istockphoto.com/file_clo...ards/3155011_road_sign_highway.php?id=3155011
This is almost perfect. 1. Can you make your blue and red colors the same as the blue and red colors in Daisama's darker (top) version in http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=3378980&postcount=14 ? 2. Can you make the papers slightly more visible? 3. Can you make "Microsoft Word" italic and place a tiny trademark symbol at the upper-right of "Word"? 1. Can you make the background translucent? 2. Can you make the red/blue interstate symbol smaller and the animated text a little bigger? 3. Can you make "Microsoft Word" italic and place a tiny trademark symbol at the upper-right of "Word"? 4. Can you add one more statement to the animation that I forgot? "Impress any employer with a well-written, flawless resume" 1. Can you make "Since 2001" and "ET" more clear? 2. Can you change "FROM ESSAY[]TOWN" to "from Essay[]Town" (remove brackets) and center it under the top text? (Please leave the top text ALL CAPS.) 3. Can you make "Microsoft Word" italic and place a tiny trademark symbol at the upper-right of "Word"? 4. Can you add one more statement to the animation that I forgot? "Impress any employer with a well-written, flawless resume" 5. Can you make the animation text non-italic and slightly bigger? ------------------------- I am so impressed with everyone's efforts that I am adding 2 additional payouts: 1st choice = $35 2nd choice = $10 3rd choice = $5 I'll probably never use the 2nd or 3rd on my site, but I want to offer something to at least show my appreciation for effort. Only 26 hours remaining!
Ariestoteles, if you can put some tiny text on both of the "A+" documents (similar to the resume text, but different-looking name and paragraphs), and move the "Hired" stamp a little higher ONLY on the front resume, I think you'll be hard to beat.
