    I need a logo and website home page designed (psd, no coding required)

    The website that we would like to mimic ourselves after is found at the below url:

    http://tinyurl.com/ahvece


    What we like about the above referenced URL is that it offers a clean, simplistic and elegant theme. However, we do not like that it is dark/grey. Ideally we will be looking for a brighter color scheme, such as blue and white.

    We also love how they created their logo. It is creative and unique, thus we are looking for something similar, but related to our domain name.

    The name of our website is [​IMG]

    Logo Details:

    Due to our domain name, we would like our logo to have something to do with Einstein. In fact, here is a link to an image that is similar to what we are looking for. http://www.lasanskystudio.com/images/2007/AlbertEinstein-with-tie.jpg

    If you look at the sample of the website we are trying to mimic, and then look at the Einstein link I just provided you will see how an image like this could work for the logo. Obviously, we cannot use this image for copyright reasons, thus you need to create something on your own. Ideally just an outline / profile of Einstein, maybe even with a pipe ( such as this link: http://www.takui.net/yoriko/blog/media/file_20060303T215437453.jpg - although not as detailed :) ) Feel free to put a graphical, abstract twist on Einsteins appearance ). Just as the original sample was just an outline of an elephant, but they added interesting elements such as an eye glass.

    Home Page Design Details:

    - Clean, Crisp and a little more of a Web 2.0 style
    - Try to use a white and navy blue color scheme
    - One sidebar for navigation and etc.
    - One image that goes in the sidebar which says "Essay Resources:
    - Creative images for the navigation links which are as follows:

    Home - Essay Writing -Admission Essays - Writers' Bios - Order

    The contest will last 5 days. we will be giving feedback on all designs submitted. if, by the end of the contest we do not get any designs we like, we will restart the contest to generate fresh designs.

    Feel free to submit as many designs as you like, the more you submit the better your chances of winning.

    We are leaving it somewhat open ended so that you can use your creativity, so have fun!

    Once we choose the winner we will send the money via paypal. files we receive must be psd or equivalent. we reserve all rights to the material after purchase.

    Thank you - I look forward to your designs.

    I'll see what I can do for the logo, but for the homepage, does this need to be coded, or just the PSD?

    Hello MarioBrowser - This is just PSD, no coding is required.

    Thank you tDesigns - I will look forward to your entry.

    Just a quick update as well - we can not make the image of Einstein look like Einstein, as this has copyright issues, so I just want it to look like a well educated person, possibly an outline of a person with a top hat and a bow-tie.

    Also, we are considering using a chalk board background with chalk as the font - thus it does not have to be blue and white.

    Thanks!

    Look forward to your entry RaduTRIFAN.

    Just an update - my partner did suggest that we could use a variety of creative options, rather than an outline of a persons face, such a a stack of books, or an outline of a brain with a graduation cap on it, anything that represents education.

    Thanks!
