Thank You in advance for participating in this Design Contest - I encourage you to not delete your work so you have a chance at future design assignments... and I encourage you to PM me - whenever you update your personal sites design portfolios - for other work you do... you never know - I might just hire you for a project - outright... (smile)



I have more than a dozen contests - coming up... doing one at a time...


Once the Pilgrim project gets up and going over the next several weeks...
I forsee a need for banner and button designs on nearly a weekly basis for clients... ongoing...
One of the ways I will meet those clients design needs - will be to look to my contests
- for winners and others who placed in the top 5 - to offer design projects to - when the time comes...



I suggest that in addition to me being able to reach you here via NP
that if I told you you were in the TOP 5 - you PM me your contact info
for me to keep on file... if you want a chance at future work...
(it's NOT required that you do that - it just gives you an extra shot at being reachable - when I need someone)



Here's a quick overview of the next few projects coming:

just for those of you that would like a heads up for that - so you can wrap
your head around the concepts - or gather what you might need to compete
the Future CONTESTS will include:

1. fireman - firehouse related

2. pizza related

3. landscape (outdoor landscape) and water feature related

4. tiger mascot - school related - colors white / black / orange

5. jewelry / diamond related

6. retirement / elderly / senior and health related

7. lasik eye surgery

8. golf

9. dental

hi dvirhazout,

thanks for entering my contest...

however...

1. you didn't even get the DOMAIN name right...
and
2. I don't permit copyrighted images used - even if they are tweaked...

the other designers here on NP - look out for me... as you can see in the posts after yours... they aren't going to let me get stuck using a copyrighted image... I love my NP designer-buddies...

so... dvirhazout... if you want to try again - and be original and not use copyrighted images - you are welcome to re-enter... and it .com not .net

hi HaZardous,

welcome to my design contest....

I am glad you entered... that's a nice first try...

try the font a little bigger...

and perhaps add some more keywords to another layer or two...
such as... Domain Auctions, Domain Sales, Domains Available,
100's of Domains - Available...

stuff like that...

thank you for making your way here and entering...

I can hardly wait to see your next version...

- - - - more feed back for the rest of you coming in a little while...


Patrick ????
why are you comparing Jackies entries with the other participant in this thread - regarding the Taco Bell - Bell ??
- - - jackie and dvirhazout aren't the same person ....
or were you talking to ME - when you said:
"Please learn from your mistakes...."

[dvirhazout]

Why would you think it wouldn't be a problem? It's the taco bell logo, which is copyrighted. Also, you did the same thing last contest with the pilgrimmedia logo.



Please learn from your mistakes....

If you spoke to me so you have a mistake! I didn't enter a logo design for the pilgrimmedia logo contest...
And I'm sorry again... I won't do that again...
by the way - I found this taco logo in google images when I search "bell"..

feedback appreciated

hi mknapper...

I'm glad you entered the contest...

that's nice work...

quite nice...

my suggestions are:

slow down the movement on the DomainBELL

and the text under the bell needs to be a diff. color too hard to see...

I look forward to see it with the changes....

and or anything else you care to submit...

thank you...

Hi LazyD...

thank you for entering the contest...

the bell on that is too big...
the DomainBELL words need to be in ONE line
and the colors all need changing...

or perhaps try something totally diff...

thank you for the entry though...

my entry:

hi there w59cb83x...

for starters welcome... thank you ...
and now tell me - WHAT your nickname stands for ?? LOL

I like all 3 of your designs...
I like the 3rd one the best of the three...
I like the font on it better...

I don't care for the db logo...

is there another logo or symbol that you'd like to try with it... ??

I look forward to seeing your revisions.... and or - additional entries from you...


thank you...

Heres another attempt, It could be animated without a problem, what do you think?

 

[w59cb83x]

Well the name, w59cb83x, basically came from me trying to creata a new username one day. Almost everything, and I mean everything, was taken. So I just hit the keyboard really hard..... and viola.... w59cb83x came up.
It stuck, and that's what I use for a username now.

Anyway... I made a few changes. I've added a bell, which almost everyone has done now. Is there anything else that you would like to see instead of a bell?

Thanks.

 

[DomainBELL]

Here's another shot at it. Feedback appreciated.

hi patrick...

I like the colors and font...

it's rather plain though...

were you going to add any animation to it... ??

if you don't know how to do animation...
you can post the design with the colors swapped around
the 3 colors you have the font colors and background color and make that
in 3+ versions with each component diff. and then we'll have a designer
string them together for you to make them animated...

unless you already know how to do that...

were you planning to add any graphics to the text ??

thanks for the entry...

Hi LazyD...

was that just a first draft ??

keep working on it...
