$40 Logo / Header Contest for Forum

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by ouzome, Nov 18, 2007.

  1. #1
    I am starting a new forum / message board called Indiana Discussion.
    It will be about politics and life in the State of Indiana.

    I need a logo that either has a transparent blackground or a logo / header that fades out on either side, so it will work with any phpbb template.

    The logo should be at least 300 pixels wide and the header option 600 - 800 pixels wide.

    100 pixels tall.
    Main color should be dark blue.
    An outline of the Indiana state, other Indiana symbol, or a general "talk" / forum type symbol may look good in the logo.

    The slogan / tagline is: Discussion on politics, news and life in Indiana.

    This contest will be open for a few days, winner paid $40 via paypal. Please post all images and questions in this thread.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick entry. I'm not really liking the red ribbon.

    I need the logo to have the text "Indiana Discussion" in big dark blue letters.

    It doesn't have to have the tagline in the logo. If you do include the tagline, please make it small.

    Thanks again.

    Whoops, after seeing the subline in print, I'd like to change it to: Politics, news and life in Indiana
    Again, you don't have to use it.

    hash9999: Thanks and not bad, but it might be a little generic. Maybe a different font that is a little bigger and has more spacing, and a different logo. It kinda reminds of a spaceship or something. It's cool, but not for this one. I'm also trying to stay away from purple.

    shibligd: I think I like your 2nd entry better. I'd like to see the title text stand out more, and the subline to be smaller and near the bottom. The title text may look better on the right side where the subline is.

    Can you make the background text change to a dark blue, instead of purple, and have both sides fade out? If I use a variable width template I'll have to center the header in the middle and have it fade out into the template headers background on both sides. Thanks for your entries.

    Aristotle: Nice work. Is the background of Indianapolis or just a generic city? The title text doesn't stand out enough to me, maybe it's the color. I like the state in the background, but maybe the balls could be changed up. The one in the back could be a basketball, and the one in the front could be a dark blue ball with the state flag yellow symbol on it. Just giving out ideas. I would need this to fade out on either side, too. Thanks.

    IQdesigns: Sorry for the confusion. I am looking for a logo, or a header with a logo, but would prefer a header with logo if you can fade out either side and make it so I could use with a blue or gray background or other color in the future.

    But if there is a logo only that catches my eye, I'll pick that, so whatever you feel comfortable with.

    Thanks everyone.

    shibligd: Can you fade out both sides of the header so that it goes transparent?
    Also, change subline to "Politics, news and life in Indiana" and place it on one line in the smaller yellow font. Looks good, thanks.

    Ariestoteles - that's exactly what I need regarding both sides fading out.
    Can you change the main text to white or yellow to help it stand out?
    Maybe change the subline to light gray so it doesn't stand out as much? Thanks.
