    Thanks gibblet but that is still not full size. Is there any way possible you can show it to me full size? Or even simply send the image file to me in email if you're having a problem with it getting automatically resized when you upload it.

    Frikusha thank you very much for that.

    We're in the process of evaluating all these on our site template.

    My suggestion is to lose the .com part.

    My opinion is that most of these logos look bit aggressive for christian community, but again most important opinion is the one from client.

    Hey thanks for resubmitting that one, actually I do think the second one should be included in our finalists to show to our members, so I will be showing it and getting a vote.

    UPDATE

    Hey guys please bear with me, this is the first time I've held a contest.

    I'm showing different designs to our members and getting their honest feedback. Strange, different people have very different preferences!!! Some say one design is the best, and some others don't like it. It seems to be like that for every design so far. So we're trying to narrow down to the one that is most universally appealing, and that's not easy.

    I'm also having some unanticipated issues. Many of you did fit your logo on my template as requested, yet your design is not actually 48 pixels height, and I actually do need to limit the height to that, otherwise it messes up the template of our site (adds more height to the header).

    Also it's really best if I can actually try out some of these designs on our site. In fact I'm trying out one right now on our site -- one of unique-i's design. He is NOT the winner -- not yet -- but we're just trying it out and we're also trying others and showing others, to our members. It also took me time to modify it, find or get the right fonts, etc., so this is actually a lot of work.

    Actually I already advanced "consolation prize" money to unique-i for each of several logos that he submitted because I'm sure we'd like to keep them even if they're not the winning design. I'm making that same offer to some of the other finalists here. And once our site members select the most appealing design that looks right on our site, we'll send the full amount (or the remainder if they already got advanced) to that winner.

    Please bear with me! This is a lot more work than I expected. :) But we're narrowing down to the one most liked by our users and we'll announce a winner here this week and also offer consolation prizes.

    Not bad Khai, but it could look better. The world map could be a bit more noticeable. And I think at 48 pixels height that will be even more of a problem.

    One big problem I'm having now, even with the finalist logos, is getting them to 48 pixels height.

    But I actually do like your overall design. You could show it at 48 pixels height, and make the world map a little more noticeable. The slogan may get too small when the whole thing is scaled that small. What I had to do with one logo is to extend the slogan to the right side. Height needs to be 48 px but the width can be up to 550 pixels. Here's an example of what I did to one of unique-i's logos that we are considering:

    This a a process... an elimination process... we're trying out the finalist logos on our site and showing our users, and comparing. I'll keep posting here the ones that we've eliminated.

    These two finalist logos from unique-i have been ELIMINATED (sorry) :) just coz our users voted that another one was better for our site.

    ELIMINATED FROM THE FINALISTS

    They are good logos (in fact we gave a consolation prize for each and bought them) but there's another logo from one of you guys that our users like better, so we're going to keep eliminating.

    So far the one that is winning is from Ciul3x, but we're gonna keep comparing and eliminating.

    Frikusha,

    Our users said that this one is your best one:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1n4fy8whemihuy/Preview2.png

    That's actually the one before your final revision, so stick with that version. But we wonder if it's possible to change the gold color slightly, to a bit more orangeish. A few of our users didn't like your logo actually, but some others thought it was THE BEST of all the ones we showed, so I wonder if you changed the color then maybe it would be even more universally appealing.

    I'm about to make an official poll on our site which will include your design so I wonder if you'd like to try a slight color variation.

    Thanks Frikusha I think those are better. May I suggest one more variation to see how it looks? Just a simple combination of the two:

    Take Preview2.png and replace the yellow "Chat" text with the orange "Chat" text from PREVIEW.png
