    Quick update, here is the header aspect of the actual site layout design I have just finished. This might help give you more an idea of what i am going for. Please ignore the text logo I have used it was just a place holder.

    Can anyone who is still planning on submitting an entry let me know just so I know if to expect anything.

    Also in the event there isnt a logo I actually want to use I am going to award a best attempt prize so all is not lost cause it is possible I am just too hard to please. This prize will be for $40 or £20 if your in the UK :) and I wont require any files or anything it will just be a token of my appreciation.

    sairos & amaranthine: It just isn't what i am looking for, You can see the site header at the top of this page. I want a professional logo to use with the site and any promotional material i do int he future. It needs to be easily resizable and aplied to any color background.

    I am going to end this 24 hours from the last submission, unless I get a specific request from someone who needs more time.

    sorry but I am really confused here, the header image you posted doesn't really look "pro" and it's hard to make a pro logo for this theme.
    so yeah, 2 hours of wasted work

    Firstly thank you for your opinion on my design, but at no point did I state how professional i thought it was. I stated I want a professional Logo to go onto it. It's ok reading properly takes time.

    Secondly If what you submitted took you 2 hours to acheive then yeah damn right it was wasted. If you don't like peoples opinions of your work and can't handle a bit of rejection then your in the wrong place.

    And if you want to further this please feel free to do it by PM.

    1. When you ask for a professional looking logo, provide as much information as you can (like what you want to see in the logo etc.)
    2. If you are not a designer or you are but you are not good enough to make a logo, don't come with fast decisions, what I did is not only text or googled images pasted here and there
    3. I can handle negative or positive feedback, I'd just like to hear something more that "you are going in the wrong direction", something that could help me improve the design
    4. I am here for money, I don't care what do you think about me now but I will enter with another version of the logo...

    Ill point my reply so you know what I am replying too.

    1. If you read my first post all the information you should need is there. If I knew exactly what i wanted then i would do it myself and not run a contest.

    2. I am not only a designer I have ran a successful design business for over 4 years, I am also more then capable of making a logo for myself, but I like to get other people to do some stuff as it usually reflects a different style from my own.

    3. Ok you can handle it, just not very well. And there was nothing I could say to IMPROVE that design i didn't like it full stop. if I liked it but it was just missing somethign I would have said.

    4. Feel free to re-enter I am not in the business of falling out with people. End of the day you posted stating I wasted your time and I replied. I don't think anything less of you, just maybe a bit short fused.

    Anyway if your next entries amazing and exactly what i want im hardly going to say no just because I didn't like your first *shurgs*

    Just to add to help if I can help anymore. The site is Vampire, werewolf, zombie related it doesn't mean I want them things as part of the logo. But it does reflect the darkness of the site and I do want the logo to reflect that. THIS WILL be used on t-shirts so it shouldn't really be over detailed as this won't transfer well. If some sort of image is going to be used try to make it like a character or icon or something.

    Please remember it has to be of highest quality output 300 dpi or preferably a illustrator file. And sorry in advance if I don't like your design and don't go into depth on why. There will still be a prizes/prizes for attempts even if I don't wish to use them. And I love you all. (if it wasn't the internet we could hold hands and stuff)

    neilparnham: I do actually like that logo but I am not going for that look, but too child cartoony, I want something that looks good to teens/mature audience. Really good effort though. Cartoon reminds me of sloth from the goonies :)

    TDGraphics: I look forward to seeing your entry.

    Here is a few logos I found I think are quite good/well done.

    http://www.zombiechow.com/images/logo.png
    http://www.hauntedatlanta.com/mb/images/logos_speculo.gif
    http://www.rabidbadgerstudios.com/Graphics/PHOTOS/VirusMAG.jpg

    Just thought I would add this one cause to be honest, well I still would? Anyone else?

    The images on that site ARE EXACTLY what I want for the top bar header images. Not so much the logo but yeah that style is kool. If anyone can produce stuff like that then I would deffinitly like to hear from them.
