First of all, find our site at the link in my signature. If anyone knows why the menu works in IE but not Chrome or Firefox, please let me know, now on to the actual contest: What we are looking for? A logo design with text that reads ' Anatomy, Altered ' Our site is basically a forum with a picture gallery frontpage designed for tattoo, piercing, and scarification enthusiasts. We are looking for something that would appeal to this demographic. The design should be a little more on the artsy side but should still be easy to read. It may also be used in the watermark applied to our pictures so it needs to still be legible when put into grayscale. We would also like to be able to separate out an icon to use as the site favicon, we will however drop this criteria in favor of a design we like, at which point we may pay you to design a matching icon. Maximum logo width: 400 px (our current logo is too long to rest along site the header banner) The current banner is only a ghetto placeholder we threw together in gimp. Slogan Contest: We have been throwing around the idea of a clever slogan but have not been able to come up with one ourselves. We have no idea what it should look like but if someone comes up with one we like we will throw you $10. All payments will be made through paypal within 24 hrs of contest closing. We will officially close the contest at 9 pm (U.S. Eastern Time) on Sunday evening. I will drop by every once in a while to provide feedback, but will not be available on Saturday evening as I may be going to a party after which I will be in no condition to type let alone give constructive feedback My partner will get off work in a couple hours and probably correct my grammar, but the idea should remain the same :-p
I like where we are going with skratte's submission. We don't want it to look too refined or techy. @skratte, if you could simplify the bottom right piece it could work well as an icon, in it's current state I don't think it would be legible at 16 x 16 @jjeezy and carelessstudy, looking for something a little more interesting and artistic feeling @chris.B, interesting piece, I'll have my more artistic partner take a look at it tomorrow, but I think you're going in the right direction too @jokomamamita, that is too much of a techy feel for our demographic, give it another go! @zasul, a little too clean and corporate feeling Thanks for all the submissions so far! Keep em coming!
Thanks, DFred. So, am I to understand that you would like something that can be resized down to a favicon? I tried to size down the image you chose to 16x16 (minus the "anatomy, altered" of course), but it became very jumbled. Still toying with a few things though. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
After consulting with my partner we have chosen skratte's design. We're looking to use your text for our main logo. If possible, could you take the lower right design from your first post and put the text over it like in the lower left design? We're thinking about using that as our watermark. We'll also use the icons you redesigned for us. Get in contact with me and I'll give you an e-mail address for the file and get your paypal info
