STUNNING animated Header wanted for 'Link Heaven' Directory **$50**

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by thudufushi, Mar 3, 2007.

    Contest winner will receive 50 Dollars by PAYPAL. I will judge the entries on Wednesday 7th March. Before that time, any I like I may put live to see how they look and guage response, so it would be appreciated if you DONT put 'Sample' on your entry. Dont worry, if its your logo there after wednesday you WILL be paid 50 dollars.

    Now, I need a really striking header for my directory www.linkheaven.net

    Width: 790 Height: flexible

    I want something eyecatching and memorable, any colours you want. I will change the css for all the text on the site to fit the new header.

    I would like to be able to use part of the logo on its own as a 'Link Heaven' logo.

    I have this idea of an animated header which has text that would rotate with 3 messages:

    PageRank all the way to SUB CAT Level
    Upto 6 Deep Links
    No image verification / 24 hour approval

    Please dont use existing logo,be imaginative, have fun. Remember, memorable, eyecatching, striking, quality!

    I will provide feedback between now and wednesday so you can revise and review if you wish, no limits.

    Thanks and good luck
    Steve

    Thanks for the entries, however I am surprised you have used the existing logo. I really dont want that used, its not very good. Something totally new is what I want, striking and memorable.

    8everything, quite nice work.

    We can use a new logo design? ;) (That was the only thing that was limiting me)

    I'll be submitting something fresh and new soon (second entries are okay?)

    Yes, new logo, complete blank canvas to design what you want within the spec above.

    As many entries as you wish is fine.

    Best wishes,
    Steve

    Hi guys,

    Really hoping for many more entries, at this rate I might have to void the contest. I am surprised because the $50 is twice what I normally offer and I normally get more entries!

    Best wishes

    No worries, I certainly wouldnt void it before Wednesday.

    TIP: My vision of heaven would include the colour blue in some way or another, or at least some shade of blue, somewhere within the banner

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Overall Comment: Halos are GOOD (over the i perhaps?), Clouds are GOOD, angel wings would be good.

    Daveyboy - 1st entry, nice, linkheaven logo a bit kiddy looking. Like the use of the full domain in the corner. The transition of the messages looks good and is slow which helps.
    2nd entry- prefer the first one

    Tropica- sorry its not working for me. Too plain, I want imagery.

    Rajatoo - well! It takes a half a page so makes a statment but not quite working. The leaf pattern in light blue isnt the right theme for heaven. Overall its a bit too much with the reflection too

    Linkweb: Too plain, no imagery, sorry.

    Thanks guys, look forward to seeing more.

    Thanks for feedback - never thought of the logo looking kiddy-ish till you said it, and yeah it does. I'll work on it, cheers.
