$150 Logo/Header Contest - Web 2.0 Format

[DeluxeNames.com]

To celebrate the Grand Opening of WebmasterPost.com, the contest for the new header and logo for DeluxeNames.com & DeluxeHost.com is now open and will end Saturday, December 16th. The winning designs will use the Web 2.0 format as seen in the examples of this thread: http://yh.yayhooray.com/thread/90661/yh-collab:-redesign-famous-logos-in-web-2-0-format?page=1

If you may be interested in participating, please post your entries here in this thread at NamePros

Web 2.0 format is basically using rounded corrners, lots of gradient, Out-lines (also known as strokes, especailly outlined letters), fun colors, the "shadow" affect (aka: "shading"), and different fonts (not just "ariel" or "times new roman"). This format sometimes gives logos a "shinnyness" to them, but doesn't have to. (if anyone can explain this better than I, feel free and thank you).

To enter, you will be submitting two versions but they will be exactly the same except replace the word "Names" with the word "Host" in your second version. So really, the two versions will be virtually identical.

I don't like the current design and logo but you can view it at: www.DeluxeNames.com. The current design and colors of the site will be changed to match the winning header so the header should not be based on the current design of the site. The height of the header should be around 116px high and the width should be at least 745px.

I am open to any color choices. My favorite colors are blues, and white.

One of the keys to winning is to use a web 2.0 logo, not just the words "DeluxeNames" and "DeluxeHost". This logo could be some abstract rendering of "Deluxe" or just something totally abstract and yet fitting.

Please use this slogan on the "DeluxeNames" header:
"Owning a Domain Means People Can Find You...Anywhere"

Please use this slogan on the "DeluxeHost" header:
"Hosting At It's Best: Quality & Integrity"

The winner will need to provide the layered header image, and logo with a transparent background.

Besides the pride of your art being displayed for all to see at DeluxeNames.com and DeluxeHost.com, you will receive $150 USD via Paypal (from a verified Paypal account). The Moderators (who don't enter the contest) and I will be the judges. The Moderators and I will review and vote and the winner will be chosen and paid by 11pm EST on Sunday, December 17th.

You're probably going to have to fix your links, since they're broken.

Thanks Steve, links now fixed

Great Hayes! Looking forward to seeing your entry

All contestants please note: Until December 11th, I will only be online twice as I'm on cruise ship in the Caribean Ocean (Roayle Caribean) and interenet access onboard is very expensive.

I'll probably log back in again in 2 days. After Dec 11th, I'll be online all the time to give great feedback. Thanks for your understanding :tu:

First designs: feedback, i;ll change this edition first before rediting for second version.

also, does it have to be 116px in height? because i think it would look better if i could increase that by a pxls.

Wow, I like this submission Zik, I can't think of much to change.

You asked if you could increase it by a pixel and yes, you sure can increase the size by a little if you want to, fine with me.

Perhaps the slogan is missing a word on the end? Slogan should end with "...anywhere"

Thanks for entering!

Feedback appreciated.

Not bad, could use a different logo. I do like your color choice and I like the background pattern. I guess I'm not feeling the bubbles/circles. Maybe use a similar font but one without the strange "e"'s.
Good start
