    Hey, looking for 2 things.
    Our website is autoink.ca
    I like our current logo, fairly simple, clean, but think it needs a little something more. Maybe the same style font, I like the lower case "A" and stuff, but maybe a little more squared? and I like the green dot in the middle of the "O" but think maybe we should add somethin to make it a little more "ink" related, like just using the same color splash of ink to dot the "i" in "ink", know what I mean?
    Pretty much if you can show me something I like we'll quickly send you $20.

    Secondly, we need a good high-definition wallpaper for the site. I want it to be black, but with texture, something crisp and refreshing. We like the idea of a checkerplate design or maybe diamond plate. We want it dark black, maybe with the occassional line of Dark green to match the site just for shading or whatever inside the checkerplate.
    I couldn't find a good sample but this is what I mean by checkerplate: image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/77/77,1107979901,2/stock-photo-checker-plate-floor-surface-texture-steel-grip-metal-grating-144170.jpg
    This will also pay $20

    Don't message me on here, send me an email or add me on gTalk at
    Thx

    Also, please don't pm me asking me to award you this job.. If you can do it, make it and I'll pay you instantly, water-mark it if you wish, but I am not prepaying before I see the work. This should be a 20minute job.
    Thx

    Hey guys, thought i'd give a little more detail.

    for the logo, i think we'll try this. keep the "auto" a similar style, classic font, but i think maybe try somethin slightly more squared? then use the same blob in the middle of the "o" as for the dot on the "i". And i thought of a way to tie it into the site better. you see the "scribbled" effect on the character and on the vehicle on my homepage banner ( autoink.ca ) ? Why don't we either write the "ink" in scribbled lines like the same style in the banner? I realize this will probably require Illustrator.

    for the wallpaper, i tried to find some stock images/textures of what i wanted; checker/diamond plate, dark black and glossy, i want a clean look. The best i could find was this: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=diamond plate&order=9&offset=0&offset=48#/d2j4w4v. It still needs to be darker, and a little cleaner, but its a good start. Here some other decent stock images to work with, though none of them are totally right, it will have to be made from scratch:
    http://rebstile.deviantart.com/art/Black-Diamond-Plate-70290129?q=boost:popular+diamond+plate&qo=0
    http://noucamp99.deviantart.com/art...-35857872?q=boost:popular+diamond+plate&qo=23
    http://ocdfx.deviantart.com/art/Diamond-Plate-Texture-90945846?q=boost:popular+diamond+plate&qo=2
    http://alecmagician.deviantart.com/...-157302601?q=boost:popular+diamond+plate&qo=7
    you get the point. also, is there any way to incorporate kind of subtle green in there? like on the occasional line or shadow? i dunno, just want to look good on the site ( autoink.ca ).

    Thx!
