Logo revision with Exceptional Flash header $65

Edisonian · 11-05-2005, 04:52 AM

I want a really cool flash header for my blog h-o-t-t-i-tude.com [remove dashes]. The header should be the exact same length but NOT as tall as it is now. I want this site to stand out, and people to remember it so the design should be exceptional.

The blog covers entertainment, celebrities, tv, electonics (mainly gadgets), deals, and hotties around the internet.

The logo and header should be sent seperately, but the header should have the logo on it. The logo can be found here...http://www.h-o-t-t-itude.com/images/auto_header.jpg

For the logo:

I like the idea of an equalizer that is a rating guage. I tried to capture that with the existing design, but it's just not that good. I need a good artist to come up with something really creative. Don't be limited to this though, use your imagination. I welcome changes to the original logo, but if you do change it needs to be exceptional.

For the header:

The header should work with the existing color scheme, and work well with the logo colors. However, if you create a logo in a different color that is extraodinarily great, I may be convinced to change the color scheme of the whole site.

Someone did a hollywood/entertainment header on another recent contest that was totally amazing!!! I want the header to be entertainment themed but the design should reflect a broader scope (electronics/gadgets, savings, hotties)

The design should be compelling but not too over the top. A blend of fun and professional. It should target college students and working professionals --men and women.

Please also provide a static image version of the flash header.

The contest ends Monday at 6 PM, but I reserve the right to end this earlier.

Your work must be 100% original --no copying will be tolerated.

I will retain 100% exclusive rights to the logo.

Please provide the image in and JPG, fireworks file, and the original photoshop design.

I'm assuming that we can use licensed stock photos if we want for the header correct? It's not copying... gaining licensed rights to use them for the application.

oh and also, the link you provided wasn't working for me. not sure if it's suffering downtime or what... ???

will7 · 11-05-2005, 05:42 AM

Sylense, I think the reason the link wasn't working because the contest holder included dashes in the link.

Which works

Sylense · 11-05-2005, 05:46 AM

oh i see... thanks. i kind of skimmed right past the [remove the dashes] at the top and forgot about it by the time i got to the link... excuse me; i'm still in the waking up phase lol.. not really a big morning person. i may enter something for this... we'll see.

andrewasmith1 · 11-05-2005, 08:17 AM

will i like that but in the topic didnt it say flash?

Edisonian · 11-05-2005, 08:28 AM

Hey will7. Please edit this and remove the link. The reason I added the dashes was because I don't want it to show up in results. Please be so kind as to remove this...thanks

Yeah, I know it was yours but I did not want to single you out ;-> Yes, you can use licensed stock photos for the header (not the logo revision) part if you want.

Thanks

Edisonian · 11-05-2005, 06:04 PM

Is anybody participating in this one? I hope I can at least get two or three people to give it a shot.

cybore · 11-05-2005, 06:21 PM

They are probably busy working on it.

Edisonian · 11-06-2005, 07:13 PM

Any takers?

Sylense · 11-06-2005, 07:36 PM

do you have any idea of anything in particular you want on the header? it seems a little TOO broad and if I or anyone else partakes in this I'm sure no one would like to license a photo for it to be unacceptable... so a general idea of something you might want to see on the header would help... i'm going to work on the logo revision now and work my way to the header...

guetizo · 11-06-2005, 07:39 PM

Hi Edisonian,

I'm working around the logo first...

Sylense -- that's a good point. Let me clarify. You don't have to license any photos. I initially expected something similar to what you had done in the hollywood concept but focusing on entertainment and gadgets. I did not excpect anyone to use licensed photos, just an artistic design.

Guetizo -- great. I am look forward to seeing your submission.

I very happy you two are participating in this contest.

Sylense · 11-06-2005, 09:24 PM

here is my submission for the logo redesign. i was going to just recreate and improve the current logo but I had a more creative design in mind. this is 100% original vector artwork made in Freehand and I have already toyed with it in Flash and make the thermometer (acting in place of the "O") temp rise bottom to top... hope you like!

will7 · 11-07-2005, 12:15 AM

Thanks for editing my post True_Snake

Haven't checked the thread for a while

cybore · 11-07-2005, 03:49 AM

Very nice Sylense.

I'll try to have something by deadline.

guetizo · 11-07-2005, 05:11 AM

Hi Edisonian,

Here my entry. 100% vector artwork. As youknow anything can be change according to your likings.

EDIT: White background version

Feedback is appreciated.

Edisonian · 11-07-2005, 06:56 AM

Thank you very much. I appreciate that a lot. Will7, please don't take offense to that.

I really like this concept. I like the creative use of the thermometer and the equalizer. Is this the logo itself (just blown up larger), or the header? Nice job.

Very creative rating symbol. I like it a lot. Two comments. (1) the font is kind of plain and too text like, (2) I would love to see the equalizer bars worked into this somehow.

This is the logo which of course I made it to where it can be easily transferred into the header... and like I said, it's already ready to work with in Flash

*btw, nice entry Guetizo.. I started to do a rating scale pretty similar to that myself but I didn't want to stray too far from using the equalizing bars...very nice though.

Was this comments regarding my design?
If it is. I'll work on something right away!

Sylense · 11-07-2005, 05:34 PM

hey Edisonian, i'm working on the flash header now. I will have it completed within the next 30 minutes or so... about to eat and then apply the finishing touches

cybore · 11-07-2005, 05:38 PM

this contest ends tonight right?....if not, lemme know

Edisonian · 11-07-2005, 06:16 PM

Yes, it was about your design. I love the rating symbol, and I would like to see a similar concept but with better font and an equalizer.

Edisonian · 11-07-2005, 07:20 PM

WOW! This is really great. You integrated all of the elements perfectly. The only thing I am stuck on is the font. It does not seem compelling enough. Note sure I like it so narrow, leaning back or the two lines above. The more I look at it the more I like it.

The header is outstanding. The flash is outstanding. I am not sure about the logo because of the things I mentioned.
