    Total Prize: $40
    Design: Very Simple banner type design
    Contest End: Thursday 21st October at 18:00 GMT
    Entries: Do NOT PM me your entries – Please post ALL entries on this thread.

    There may also be more than one winner – if I see lots of great designs that will suit – I will award the 1st prize up to 3 times – so 3 people can win $40 each.
    I am looking to have a peak oil countdown clock created. This is an incredibly simple design.
    Take a look at: http://www.energyandcapital.com/
    Go down the page and on the right hand side you will see the Peak Oil Clock

    I would like the Title to be: Peak Oil Clock
    It will need to have - Global Oil Consumption (in Barrells)
    Then to have the two countdowns. – with the same language.
    Underneath the clocks maybe in the box or maybe outside the box as on: http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/flower-clock-widget
    I would like: Get the Peak Oil Clock for your Site

    The design must be simple and able to fit on any site or blog and it would be best if it was only 140 pixels wide – so as to fit on the majority of sites out there. (actually it will be in a few sizes – so it will need to look good both large and small.

    Please also take a look at: http://www.energyandcapital.com/peakoilclock/
    The peak oil clock design on the right is interesting – if you can do something similar (but nicer) there may be another prize for designers.

    The main thing for me is that it looks very neat and professional – and it must be a big improvement on the ones you see.

    Looking forward to seeing your designs.

    Thanks Sarah - it's missing a few things - could you please put somewhere - Global Oil Consumption in Barrels.
    Could you also remove the time until the peak - as this design won't be having that.
    I would also prefer something similar to their simple design on the homepage: http://www.energyandcapital.com/
    Hopefully you'll get a chance to have another go.

    Thanks for your entries – here is some feedback:

    Sarah – yes that’s the sort of thing i’m after – clean and neat – but it shouldn’t have all of the text from their site.

    Monty251 – Thanks for the entry – but it’s really not the sort of thing i’m after.

    Todd – This is quite nice – but very large – it would need to be much smaller.But you have the general idea correct.

    Divineworld – It looks quite nice – but please do look at the instructions, i don’t want any of the text from their site – just the text i have above. This will have a Big effect on the design.

    Natali77 – I quite like this – could you make it a bit smaller and the get the peak oil clock for your site, could you please have outside the bix. Also i’m not too keen on the font for the peak oil clock and Global oil consumption – it’s too blurry. The writing and design all need to be sharp and clear.

    Pamugasay – Sorry but this isn’t for me. You also have the text from the other site which i wasn’t looking for.

    Nidhi – Thanks for the entry – It is interesting, but feels very disjointed. I’m afraid it won’t work.

    MA.Gfx – This is quite nice – but i’m not sure about the colour. Also the Global oil consumption – the font is too much. Could you also make it a bit smaller and have the get widget outside the box. Still it looks quite nice.

    tried to make it look like an actual widget. Resizing won't be a problem.

    Feedback appriciated.

    Here’s some feedback.

    Sarah – yes – that’s the sort of thing i’m after. Could you make it a bit more compact though. It’s clean and i think could go on almost any site which is what i’m looking for.
    Could you also make the Get Widget button a bit smaller. It also needs a ltllle something more and it should be just white – the small writing going through the design doesn’t work for me.

    NightVision – This is really neat – very nice! Can i see it a bit smaller – a few different sizes.
    Also the get widget button is a great colour and i like the position, but can you make it separate to the design – so like it’s stuck on (i have my reasons for this) – still it’s very nice.
    Is it also possible to see it in white and a few different colours?
    I’d also like to see how the YTD figure looks with 9 numbers – as this is what it will be for the rest of this year.

    Natali77 – It’s a nice clean design – sadly it doesn’t make it into the top group.

    MA.Gfx – It looks pretty good – but feels disjointed to me.

    Divineworld – it’s a nice look – could i see it a bit smaller? Also i would like to see numbers instead of just blocks – as the spacing and look of the numbers is very important.
