Yugo, There's not enough of a holiday color and theme. Can you use 1 or 2 of these items instead? For Jewelryvortex.com use: Scooby, I like the Christmas theme because it's catchy and obvious. Can you include some animation and also the items I mentioned above? Also, it's hard to read the "jewelryvortex.com"
Here's a revised copy. Hopefully the site's logo is easier to read now. It would help if I had a better copy of the logo. I also had to eliminate the rounded shadowed look of the banner because the GIF format will not produce that very nicely and PNG / JPG format does not support animation.
9Design, the banner doesn't have a holiday feel or classy look to it. It's a bit too flashy MN, There's not animation, but I like the color and font. It looks clean/elegant. The bottom yellow line is broken. And there's no animantion. Duez, I like the clean look. Is it possible to add a little green somewhere? Scoopy, You don't have to include the logo. Please remove if it makes a better ad. The font for jewelryvortex is Monotype Corsiva. Can you include a call to action button? ie. Click Here, Shop Now. And can you replace the 3 rings with the image I included with the ribbon? Currently, it's a toss up between Duez and Scooby. Thanks! Contest ends today!
here the revision of my enties , hope you like them. for goldenmine.com http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=goldenmine468x60jy2.gif for jewelryvortex.com http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jerwelryvortex468x60ad5.gif feedback please, if you need to change anything about this design, just let me know.
Congrats to the winner... but I don't get it ??? You have asked us all for certain things (Holiday theme, animation, green, action button, etc.) and the winner has none of this. This banner is also sub-par with its type quality (jagged edges in the "A" in "SALE" and whats up with the word "Free" ?)... plus the ring is even out of focus.
Its not jagged edges.... my bro..its a shadow......and What is the problem with free and by the way ring is shining not out of focus!....
