$500 Contest - Web Hosting Template

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by x.marty.x, Mar 3, 2010.

    First, check my contest history, I've held a couple before and always paid out so don't be shy, submit some entries and get involved.

    I need you to design me a very professional and sleek web hosting template for a new company called DesiredTech. You also need to design and incorporate a logo which will be used on flyers and other forms of advertisement that we'll be doing, so be creative, we need something that stands out, something that will be remembered. A mascot that links directly to the company to sit with the logo would be perfect, we want people to think DesiredTech if they see the mascot without the logo. Some of the services we'll be offering at first are shared hosting, reseller hosting, vps hosting, dedicated servers, search engine optimization and web design. I also need some banners designed for advertising and the sizes I need are 728x90, 468x60, 300x250, 120x600 and 160x600 (you can do these once I've give your design/logo the thumbs up).

    - Website size should be about 1000x1000px.
    - Website must be coded when I recieve it at the end of the contest (if you can't code, find somebody who can or take off $100 and I'll take the PSD).
    - Logo and/or Mascot must be created and incorporated into the design.
    - 5 banners must be created once your design has been given the thumbs up (728x90, 468x60, 300x250, 120x600 and 160x600).

    I hold the right to pick 0 (zero) winners if the designs aren't upto par. Let's make sure this doesn't happen.

    Contest ends on March 20th 2010.

    I would join if I could code and/or do a good logo/mascot design. Seems like a good contest, good luck :)

    Just submit what you can, since your website designs look pretty good. I can have the logo/mascot added in last if the design is good enough.

    Wow, long deadline. I'd enter though. Any chance you'd shorten the deadline?

    Is this along the right tracks for you? Obviously there's no Mascot and such yet, but looking to know if i'm on the right route for the template first.

    Even though there's been no feedback on my first try, here's a second one which I hope is better. It also has a logo and brandable icon as well.

    Thanks for your submission.

    It's not really meeting the kind of quality I was looking for, taking a look at these:

    http://www.theplanet.com
    http://www.layeredtech.com

    I'm going to close this contest if we don't recieve some more entries in the next couple days.

    I wasn't sure if I should PM this to you or not since the contest doesn't look closed, but here is the design anyways. In the bar with all the services, the one that has a different background just to show the mouse-over effect. Preview is resized (15% smaller than original)

    It's disappointing that this contest hasn't had better results.. is the contest still going on? I might be able to design something if you haven't found a design yet.
