I am starting a new online store called "Field Day Gifts". I need a logo and header for the site currently located at http://www.fielddaygifts.com. The current logo and header are for test purposes only. Please see site for types of products being sold. The logo/header should look clean/simple, creative, professional and portray a level of sophistication. The header size is currently 800px x 120 px...but I can adjust it to suit the design. I may add a few tab navigational elements to the header in the future as well (ie. Home, New Products, Specials, My Account, Contact Us) The logo test should be "Field Day Gifts" or "Field Day Gifts.com"...really, I'm open to whatever looks best. There is no tagline currently...but one may be added in the future. Colors...I'm open. The current logo is ok (it was done by me)...it's not polished. I'm open to a modified version. My only other idea is a logo consisting of 3 small icons...representing the words words "field", "day", "gifts"...icons might be tall grass, sun, gift respectively. I'm open to ideas...that's what the contest is for...right? The final deliverable should consist of the logo in vector format (.ai, .eps, etc.) The header should be a layered PSD file. Payment will be made via PayPal. ($75) Contest to last 7 days. (I would prefer to choose a winner sooner!) I reserve the right to extend the contest and/or not choose a winner if not satisfied with the results. ***Note: if you are also interested in making some minor enhancements to the overall cart template, please let me know. (ie. custom buttons, region headers, etc.)
Still looking for submissions...feedback will be provided for all submissions. If you are only interested in designing a logo...that's fine. I'll give at least $60 to a logo-only winner. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Ariestoteles for the entry... Unfortunately, this is not what I am looking for. (The palm tree definitely doesn't work...the gifts on the left are to "obvious"...for lack of a better term...and the gift box near the logo seems out of place due to the colors, etc.) I'm looking for something more professional...think Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware. Focus more on the type/font...and then a visual element. The header graphic/background doesn't need to be much with a strong logo.
I have a concept...Im just working on how to make it a reality...hopefully will have something posted by tomorrow.
Here is my first attempt: The grass for "field" the sun for "day" and the gift for well "gift" Anything can be changed. Feedback appreciated! -ATF
AddictedtoFate... Although I do like the concept of the field/grass, sun and gift...I don't feel that the work well as presented (to combined) The font and color scheme look ok though. Feel free to take another stab at it with this concept...but I encourage you to also submit additional concepts. Looking forward to see more...
I put the logo into the banner size you had posted...but have the image part of the logo saved as a seperate file much larger.... I may still update this...but feedback is welcome, its not quite whats in my head...so I may try again.
Scarletwolfe... Thanks for the submission...but overall the look is not what I am looking for. I don't care for the font. As I stated to Ariestoteles above...focus on the font first...the visual element should compliment that. Looking for something more professional...more sophisticated.
I couple more tries focusing more on text....left very basic for now ....no sense going all out til I know if Im going in the right direction even lol
TDGraphics... Great effort...I like the simplicity...but the font doesn't seem right. Too large? The overall layout needs a lot of refinement. (I think the overall design I'm looking for is more similar to www(dot)picnicfun(dot)com) AvalancheCreations... Interesting idea...creative but not quite what I would consider a contender. The grass is a bit chaotic...and I don't like the 3 color text. (actually this idea is so similar to a concept that I tried for a while myself...I could never get it to quite work...but I encourage you to keep working on it) ScarletWolfe..."left very basic for now..."...got it. Remove the tag...Try putting the grass to the left fo the text...I'm not sold on either font...be sure it says "Field Day Gifts"...or "FieldDayGifts.com"...(case does not matter...whatever looks best) The sun seems like it was just thrown in...try using the sun as a small icon. As per my original posting...maybe 3 icons...grass/sun/gift along with the name? Everyone...please let me know if the direction is not enough...
A font , a font...my kingdom for a font....ok so here are a bunch of different fonts...we are on a font hunt.
