Logo Contest - Fun AND Easy Money!

    Now that I have your attention :)

    I need a new logo for my up and coming production themeoutlet(dot)com

    I already have a site design, which I've uploaded for you here as a .jpg in maximum quality (sorry for those on dialup!)

    I am after something that looks good and fits in well with the design, nothing drastically fancy or difficult.

    The winner has 2 options:
    - $30 via Paypal
    or
    - 6 month link to any family friendly website of theirs once the site is up and running (great considering it will get a high PR due to the nature of the site)

    Whichever you pick is up to you, I personally don't have any preference and it won't affect my winner selection.

    I'd like to end this A.S.A.P so as soon as I find one I'm happy with, contest over!

    Have fun and don't miss out by entering late!

    If you have any questions, let me know :)

    Thanks,
    Matt

    EDIT: I posted further information below regarding good ideas as to what I am after :)

    Hey :) I looked really hard for matching colors! Used all of these devices too. Worked hard on this one, I really hope you like it! :) If you need me to change things, I can! :)

    This is a greener version, with White, Blue and Green matching the colors of the site.

    I mentioned this to onix via PM and it applies to everyone really (as I failed to mention it in the original post which I'll have to edit)

    I'm looking for some sort of a logo with text rather than just text. It doesn't have to be fancy.. some sort of glass orb with TO in it could be very effective if done correctly. Not saying I want to see a million orbs, but feel free to be creative. Throw some custom shapes in. Throw some butterflies in. Whatever. I love all that creative stuff :)

    The reason I'm holding this contest is because while my logo looked good, it was just text and was pretty plain because of it.

    Looks good ATF

    Little image icons look good. Maybe add a stroke around the text to make it more defined, and make room for a slogan "wordpress theme site" or whatever will suffice.

    Onix yours aswell.

    Can you make the theme and outlet the same height. Maybe use the same font, but make theme bold and outlet regular.

    Onix try making the green in the emblem a bit darker than the green used in my menu. It'll make it blend better, at the moment its a different shade of green

    It isn't the effect I'm looking for with the site :) Not to worry though, concept wise it's nice.

    What I like:
    - The globe
    - The font

    What I don't like:
    - The gradient. It's a different type to the shiny effect used on the rest of the design.
    - The ring. Perhaps change the blue stroke to something more subtle.

    EDIT:

    Atf

    Maybe too much stroke now lol. The green you are using is good, blends well. Perhaps link the slogan in more with the main text using an arrow or something.

    ATF - Sorry but I see the same picture as above. You may have forgotten to copy and paste the new image url.

    RetzSeo - Much better! Make the orb a little smaller, and tie the slogan into the title more (like i've said to atf and onix)

    To be honest your logo by itself is not spectacular, but for some reason I am liking it (the orange/yellow perhaps)

    Got some very good entries so far! Might have to set up a poll to decide the winner if there is a tie, or maybe send $30 to each.
