$75 Logo / Header Combination

[Edisonian]

Hello:

I have a new site that I am re-developing. The site focuses on different types of relationships. There will be an index page with information which links to both a blog and a forum. I have a header design which I created on the forum now. I would like to use the same colors and pictures for the header.

What I need is a stand-alone logo (white background), and a logo version that is integrated into the forum header somehow (possibly where the site title is not; although there need not be a black background). For instance, you may just use a symbol from the logo.

The logo for the index page should be slightly conservative but also convey a sense of fun. The site covers a broad array of relationships (i.e., workplace, business, international, family, enemies, affairs, etc), so it should not look like it should be for a dating, pen pal or any specific love theme.

You should stick to the guidelines for the index logo, but I welcome any creative integration for the forum header.

Theme: Anything to do with relationships (serious, fun, dangerous, silly loving, etc)

Approach: The mark should be flexible enough to symbolize both serious/professional subjects and fun/whimsical topics.

Colors: Dark oranges, yellows and grays (I welcome any proposed alternative color schemes you feel may better convey the theme).

Format: Vector based, PNG, JPG

Deadline: I will set the deadline at this Friday. However, if I see a design I really like I may end much earlier.

Delivery: You must provide a note with the fonts and colors used in the logo. I require a vector graphic file (preferably in Macromedia Freehand), and a Macromedia Fireworks (PNG) or Adobe Photoshop (PSD) format --I prefer PNG. You must deliver JPG file too.

Payment: $75 for both the regular logo, and an integrated logo/header design. You must have a PayPal account, as I will use PayPal to send the payment

Important: Your work must be 100% original. All intellectual property rights convery to me exclusively. This is a work-for-hire agreement.

By enterting the contest, you agree to all of the above terms and conditions.

Ok I think I toned the colors down a little bit. But if you would like to see other colors just let me know.

Hi Edisonian,

Here's another concept. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy makin'it.The first ywo are for the splash page, and the other ones are for the forum.
Please remember, vector file, we can change colors size, etc.

Feedback is most appreciated.

Thanks

Guetizo -- I like it a lot. You really understand what I am looking for. I would be interested in seeing the same thing done with the hands that I like a lot....and the gray font (in your first version) a tad bit darker.

DaveCatt -- that's a good design, but I the hearts sybmolize love and the concept should be very broad to cover all types of relationships. Thanks for the entry.

Hi Edsonian,

Guetizo -- I like it a lot. You really understand what I am looking for. I would be interested in seeing the same thing done with the hands that I like a lot....and the gray font (in your first version) a tad bit darker.

Here's the design with the revisions - above - requested. I thought I'll give you an extra hand.

As always, feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks

Please leave some feedback about my entry!

dew -- I like the colors and the overall layout. The only issue I had with it was the lines, but then I realized that's a watermark...I think. I really liked the symbol, but then the more I looked at it the more it reminded me of one of those handicap signs for some reason. You did a good job.

vip-ip -- I can see where you were going with the concept, and it is interesting. I am looking for more of a traditional logo layout. Thanks for the entry.

I would like to take this time to thank each one of your for participating in this contest. There were some really fantastic designs, but I had to choose just one. I will be starting at least two other contests (for other sites) after this one, so I encourage all of you to enter those as well.

And the winner is....



guetizo!


guetizo -- Let's wrap this up via PM (or on the board) and complete a transaction.

Thanks again to everyone else.

Thanks kindly.
