Are You Ready For an Adventure?!!! $35/72 hour Logo Contest!

    Payment via PayPal to the winner immediately.

    I need a Logo for my Wordpress site. Please be sure to make it the correct size and colors to work on the site. I may also use the logo on T-shirts and other products, so keep that in mind. The logo will replace the theme name that is at the top of the home page now.

    The Wordpress site is Sgt. Adventure.

    (Sergeant Adventure) http://sgtadventure.comGo to the site and have a look.

    The target market for Sgt. Adventure is guys from 8 – 15 but it will also appeal to guys from 16 to 88 and maybe a few ladies. : )

    Here is an excerpt from Sgt. Adventure’s About page:

    I will be bringing you how-to articles and videos as well as videos that showcase some of my own adventures. I will bring you great outdoor adventures that include fishing, hunting, camping, aviation, survival techniques, primitive skills, rock climbing, archery, and more. I will also experiment with crafts such as leather work, wood-burning (pyrography), flint-knapping, building home-made bows and arrows, building model cars, building and flying model rockets and more.


    Please have fun with the logo design. I am open to your ideas. Be creative. Be Adventurous!

    Thanks brain surgeon. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. After you finish with this project I have a few people I would like you to perform a lobotomy on.

    Brain Sturgeon....Here is one observation I have.....while the Eagle does represent adventure, it also reminds me of the rank insignia for a Colonel. Could you somehow work some sergeant stripes into the logo....not necessary to replace the Eagle....just play around with it if you don't mind. I really like the colors, by the way. The eagle is really bright and stands out against the background. Besides....it is an adventurous color.

    All I can say is WOW! I am never disappointed at the results I get here. I like the changes you made brain surgeon....nice touch changing the V into Sgt Stripes....

    I'm liking all of the entries right now. Unfortunately I will have to pick one when the time comes.

    Keep up the good work, folks!

    Eternal Light...I like your work....is it just me, or are the 3 stars slightly left of center over the SGT?

    That's IT?!!! No one else wants to get in on this? I think we have some great submissions so far, but the contest is not over yet. I always like to see a good competition. It brings out the best in people.

    brainsurgeon,


    I am sorry you did not win. I liked your design as well. I just couldn't buy them all, and it is always difficult to choose one over the other. Please do not be disheartened. Hang in there. There will be plenty more contests and I will be running more in the future myself. I am always working on new ideas, and I need creative people like you to help me with designs. Thanks for participating and best wishes to you moving forward.
