Quickie $15.00 Header Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by lhd333, Jan 2, 2008.

  1. #1
    I'm launching a new blog about my adventures in internet marketing. Need a quickie header - something that compliments the current theme - http://closeenoughtotaste.com

    I'm looking to end this contest by Friday if not earlier.

    Winner gets $15 by paypal.

    Note: theme is fluid width, please make your entry compatibile.

    Close enough to taste implies that I'll taste serious internet marketing success!

    Thanks folks!

    Sorry for the low prize - can't put much money into this one (there's another contest I'm running in the sig as well.

    Looking forward to your entries.:D

    Responding to a PM for everyone's benefit:

    So it's clear, I welcome full creativity to your entries - the blue/black color scheme will stay but don't limit yourself when creating the logo. Also, the buttons to the right will expand as I add more pages.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the entry Marky D.

    The squiggly strip interferes a bit with the text - I was thinking about putting the actual url off to the side or underneath. Let me think of a "slogan" as well before you do any other work.

    Thanks for the entry!

    One more thing...it'd be kind of neat to have a little icon (like a slurping tongue or something to that effect). Again, I know it's a small prize but I've seen some of you throw some wild graphics together quickly.

    Thanks!

    Ha! Great tongue. Thanks for the entry!

    @caj

    Interesting fonts, a bit menacing for my taste though. Thank you for your entry :)

    @markyd

    Cool graphic but I agree, a bit erotic. Any way to make it look like a mouth licking itself (like it just ate something yummy?)

    @metalwarrior

    looks more appropriate for "close enough to rape". HAHA. jk, thanks for the entry.
