$30 logo design contest! Hotel rating site

[Masterco]

Yes yes.. as you can read another logo contest for one of my projects.

Concept
I will start my project Hotelratings.eu in a short term. It's a hotel rating site targeted to hotels in Europe. See here a website from The Netherlands that looks like my project: www.vakantiereiswijzer.nl

Ideas
The logo need to look professional, because there are many hotels in Europe capital cities like London, Barcelona, Paris etc. where a lot of visitors will come with business purposes, but also for leisure, so make it fit for both target people. It's about the ratings what the domain said, so maybe stars will be nice? Well.. Let me see how much inspiration you have!

The layout of the site has not been created yet, but I will also start a contest for that.

When will the contest end?
The contest will end on Friday 23 of June. I appreciate if there are some concepts in the meanwhile.

When do I get paid?
You get paid immediately after I pick out a winner by Paypal.

Good luck!

UPDATE: need a design as well!
I need a template as well for the design of hotelratings.eu. Just make it like www.vakantiereiswijzer.nl. I just rate the design for the looks, so it don't have to be definitive.

Important things to know:
1. make it just like www.vakantiereiswijzer.nl but it has to be a redesign with new and better colors that need to look more professional.
2. I need space for advertisements; one vertical banner on the right and one block somewhere on the top: the advertisement has to look like this sponsored links: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g150768-Mexico-Vacations.html
3. Need a top 5 of accommodations field
4. Forget about the menulinks left at the top.

Price: $90 include logo (payment will be done by paypal)

If there are any more questions, please PM me or leave a message in the topic.

I believe it is supposed to be "look over it" because overlook it would be to, miss it.

oh geez

i guess i got caught up in trying to make it rhyme, i screwed up the definitions. haha

i'll think of one later after some feedback :D

Who won this ????? I see no more replies since 6/21

If you run a design contest here, then there must always be a winner from within NamePros.

We feel that there is enough design talent on NamePros that if the offered prize is reasonable, then there will be several good entries. If we allow contest holders to specify that a winner does not have to be selected from within NP, then it would open up the forum for abuse by others who run contests merely to get fresh logo and design ideas, without actually intending to pay.

One more: if anyone posts an un-watermarked design entry, forum staff and forum leaders may delete the post. Designers, please help us by watermarking your images; and if you notice one that isn't watermarked, then report the post ASAP.

9/26/05: New Rule - Prize must be clearly defined ahead of time. It is only fair to the designers to know upfront what the prize will be.
