$50 Logo Contest

    Hey,

    Please take a look through this thread: Directory Logo's

    And then look at my site: Directory Share

    I think the problem is obvious, my logo / header doesn't even compare with pretty much all of the logo's which are on display in the first link.

    What I am looking for is something much more professional looking, cleaner, crisper text, etc. The logo must fit in with the existing color scheme, I will not be changing anything beneath the header, so blue is important :)

    Maybe add a little character to the logo like some of the examples in the first link, but something that makes it stand out from the crowd.

    You have a maximum width of 780 pixels, but this does NOT mean you have to use it all. There is no max or min height. I am open to just using a logo aligned to the left and leaving whitespace on the right side.

    Ummm what else.... will leave the contest open for the next 24 hours and see how things go, I am not stating a end date at this time.

    Otherwise, any questions, feel free to ask.

    Here is my entry, with a preview of how it would look like on your site. It is the exact dimension of your current banner, so all you would have to do is upload and pop it in. :)

    Thank you everyone for participating, here is my feedback on the entries thus far:

    simplyg123: Nice effort, I think it would be better on a blank canvas, switch the lettering to blue and move the icon to the left or right. Remember this logo will replace everything including the two blue lines, just like Scarlet Edition's example.

    Freelance GD: I am looking for a bit more creativity, thanks.

    Scarlet Edition: Nice, just a couple of things, not sure the color's quite blend in. Also the name should be either all upper case as in simplyg123's sample, or with the first letters of each word, as in AddictedtoFate's example.

    AddictedtoFate: Very nice, currently my favorite. Is the icon stock, as in I won't get any copyright issues? Otherwise, just add a bit of extra spacing to the letters, but I like it.

    Cipixxx: Again, I am looking for more creativity, look at what I am competing with in the form of the logo's I linked to in my first post.

    Thanks to everyone for participating thus far.
