    Hello,
    I require a logo for www.shortcitybreaks.eu. $50 USD will be paid to the chosen winner by Paypal.

    Requirements:

    - Must integrate into existing my Joomla theme (kitn). I want to keep the fading lines in the background.
    - Similar style to the default theme logo prefered. An artistic image must be incorporated into the logo, relevent to european travel (a plane, hotel, city scape, etc). It can be to the left of right of the words, or integrated with the words.
    - A short slogan of your choosing may be incorporated.
    - All source files and copyright for the logo must be transfered to me if you are the winner. Prefer vector format, please advise with your submission what you will be providing.

    Additional $10 bonus for a matching favicon.ico. (To be approved seperately, optionally.)

    Please watermark your entries in this thread, or PM.

    Martin.

    Thanks, same plane image I see on 100 other travel websites ;) The animation is good though, I didn't see that before, thanks. Do you intend to enter for the main logo competition? I intended the favicon 'bonus' more as a bonus for the person doing the main logo design.

    Good question! I will set it tentatively at 1 week from the date and time of post. It depends how many submissions there are by then. Does that suit you?
    Looking forward to the first entry!! :D

    Sam2698, Very nice!

    I'm not sure about the font though. Its a little difficult to read, and definitely too small. Could you offer a few more variants? I do like your idea a lot though, maybe it just needs to be bigger.

    I know its a bit boring, but I am a fan of tightly spaced arial, with alternating colours on the words.

    Martin.

    Deadline is 7 full days from the original post - Feb 6th, 12:15pm (UK time, I think!)

    Sam2698,
    thanks for the revisions. I have a few small changes I would make if I was to go ahead with this, but it is close enough for the entry. Thanks!

    Everyone else,
    I need more entries please!

    Martin.

    Thanks azzumail.
    One more clarification - I want the site name, not the web address in the logo. This is fine for the entry though, but I would need it changed if you are chosen as the winner :)
    I like the buildings, a little bit more 'European' looking than the first entry!

    More entries please! I'm sure there must be more than 2 designers lurking around.

    Martin.

    Hi raghav, thanks!
    Kind of! Quite cool! but,... I had asked for the picture to be left or right of the text (so not on top), and I do need it more integrated into my existing kitn theme. Could you try show it with the fading lines in the background?

    Hope you're all having a nice weekend.

    Martin.
