**$50** Website/Forum Logo Contest

    OzCommunity Forums <http://www.ozcommunity.com>
    OzCom has been around for a few years, but its time for a total redesign.
    I am offering 50 for the best logo of my choosing.

    Description of forum:

    OzCommunity is an Australian based forum, with topics ranging from technology, sports, politics, movies etc. Pretty General. But is based on australian topics and interests.

    Logo Brief:
    The logo needs to capture 'Australia' and its theme. National colours are green and gold. Images used could be our flag, kangaroos etc.

    I Would also like it to capture the idea of a community, or social elements.

    High quality bitmaps are fine, vectors are good obviously. i will accept any format really, psd, ai etc. But would like original source, not just jpg.

    It needs to fit well with the new style (see attached). Note that this style can/will be modified abit once the logo is chosen, to suit the logo.

    Prize: $50 USD Via PayPal, preferably, but can make other arrangements.

    Ending: Undecided as of yet, will make a decision with plenty of warning once entries are made.


    I will make as many comments/feedback to anybody who creates a logo, so you can revise.
    I will also consider a $10 prize to the 2nd placing logo, as a thanks for the effort.
    Bonus marks to anybody who makes suggestions on how to improve the new style. :p
    If anybody would like any more details, or images they could use id be happy to try and source them.
    Thanks to all that participate, and good luck. :p

    ** Image Link, Of New Style as attachment wasnt working? **

    Just to clarify, do you want us to create a header with the logo design for the forum? If so, what size....

    yes it will be places at the top left of the site, so it is a header/logo. size doesnt matter, i will change the design of the site to suit. but it keep it relativity standard banner sizes.

    @watari:
    this entry looks very nice. youve actually chucked it over the old design, the new one is like this (http://www.ozcommunity.com/ozcom1.jpg), but doesnt matter. :p
    I Like the way you have done the lettering (z)
    I Like the addition of the map, didnt think to mention this in the brief. but it works well.

    @HairlessTaco: the map in the background is nice. but other than that it might be a bit plain to what i was looking for

    @pinky92: whats the thing at the left? maybe that could be changed to a map/flag etc...

    @watari: Thanks for the revision, looks very nice. would you be able to intergrate the idea/theme of a community into it? i was thinking a siloutte of 2-3 people over the community writing? not sure how it could be done. but i think something subtle would be great. Also could you have a play, and maybe use the Z to conitune and be an underline of the 'community' writing? just an idea?

    @lunamaya: thanks for the submission. i think the map over the (O) looks a bit odd

    @jackieh1791: is that just over the old background on the old style. cause i am not usuing that old style anymore, i am making a new one (see OP). The kanagroo in the background looks nice.

    @jwilkins: The globe is a nice addition. I would prefer the heading to say ozcommunity, instead of the abbrivated ozcom however.

    @eCovers4uGfx: your 3 submission all look good, i like how you used uluru as the background. and the jumping kanagroo is good too.


    Thanks to everybody who has submitted so far. i will definitly leave this for a few more days for any revisions and new entries as not many have jumped at me quite yet.

    @Lukero: you right i totally missed your entry. its nice and simply, i like how the kanagaroo fits in well.

    @DodgyAnt: this looks very nice. however it is really the wrong size for a header that i am after. could you maybe shrink the map and make the text extend out further (over the map). just to make it more of a wide header.
