Contest - $50 USD - for DomainBeLL - Project: Pilgrim - 1

[DomainBELL]

Prize will be $50. - USD paid via PayPal

- - - I might also select a 2nd place winner for a prize of $25. USD - paid via PayPal
(see terms below)

there will be at least 5 other contests coming very soon.... so if this one doesn't suit you or you don't have time to enter this one... be sure to check back - or PM me for information on future contests - with links to your portfolio or online samples...


Contest
Starts: Sunday 7-30-06
runs 8 days...
Ends: Monday August 7th, 2006

Feedback will be left ONCE per day - in the THREAD - for ALL the entires for that day...


The designs that you submit must be your own work, unique and exclusive.

Entries must be watermarked...

Entries must be posted within the CONTEST THREAD

I reserve the right to NOT pick a winner IF:
there are no designs that I like enough to use...
I am sure that enough designers that do GREAT work will enter - so there should not be a problem picking a winner... in the event there are no suitable designs within the contest period - I reserve the right to extend the contest dates... I want to pick a winner... I want there to be a winner... I want a design I like enough to actually USE... (smile)

In the event there isn't a design I like enough to use - I will send each person that entered designs 200 NP$ as a thank you for trying...

Two winners might be chose - and if so - that 2nd place winner will receive $25. USD
- - - just depends on the entries...

NOTE: the 2nd place winner is not obligated to turn their design over to me for the second place price of $25. USD - if they choose not to for whatever reason - an alternate 2nd place winner may or may not be selected...



What I am looking for:
I am looking for somehting to use as a brandable logo for :

P-i-l-g-r-i-m-M-e-d-i-a.c-o-m
(without all the hyphens)

and

P-i-l-g-r-i-m--M-e-d-i-a.c-o-m
(the version with one hypen between the two words)


I'd like to see some harvest related colors used ...
and possibly something pilgrim theme related

NOT exclusively requiring these colors or a pilgrim in design - I would like to see what that might look like though...

However the winning design could very well be on not even in harvest colors... nor having a pilgrim in the design...

I need the end product to be in the following formats:
Vector .jpg .gif

You may enter even if you don't design in Vector... and you need to state in your post with your entry what formats you are able to provide the finished product in...

Winner will be paid via PayPal - BEFORE the designs are turned over to me in the finished un-watermarked format...

However - everything you post in the contest - online - MUST be watermarked... and - if I should request it - the winning designs may be required (by me) to be removed from the contest thread - after the contest ends...

If you are chosen as one of the Category Winners, I receive FULL Rights to the design(s) – the unique and exclusive rights - and you can NEVER display or sell them again. You may not mention the URL or Domain Name in any future manner that would be picked up by a search engine or any other media... I want my privacy protected...

The designs that you submit must be your own work, unique and exclusive.

Consider your entry into this contest as your agreement to all the terms above...

Good Luck to Everyone...


I look forward to working with you on future projects...

Ready... Set... GO !!!!!

- - - note there was a slight editing - for appearnce preferences done on this post - PRIOR to any ENTRIES....






- - - - UPDATED: 8-3-06
I have decided against using any graphics depicting pilgrims...
no corn... no pilgrims... nothing pilgrim related...

and further on into the thread on page 3 - - - there are some links I included to samples of colors and fonts and things I've seen that caught my eye - so you can get more of an idea of what I am looking for....

I also sent some NP$ to every designer that jumped on board early on pages 1 and 2...

and at the end of the contest - after I pick a winner --- any NEW designers that enter at two or more designs - from page 3 on - will be getting a special treat - as a thank you from me at the end...

show me your talent... and have FUN....

Here's my try...a little late These are vector.

jackieh1791- - - Post # 94 - - - nice work...
I am so pleased you made your way here to enter this contest... I've always liked your work...
you are in the TOP 6 - for potentially winning this one...
of the three you submitted I like the first two best...
I was wondering though... could you do them - with those same 2 fonts - and NOT have the purple circles in the background... and try some sort of little icon design at the beginning... can I see a choice like that please...

thanks....

hi patrick...

thanks for contiuing to show me options...

of this batch I like the icon on the last one... could you try enlarging the font and reducing the size of the icon... once you have that done - can you show that to me like that - AND - a version of that - without the outer ring around the icon ??

thank you...

hi SW....

I agree with you.. (wink) - - - there are some "gems" in this contest...


ahhhh... there you go with that P.S. - - - gonna make me sad now if I don't name you as the winner.... go to the corner... and keep trying... (if you have the energy to...) - - - I can't pick you as the winner just because you are my sugarbritches... now can I ?? - - - LOL.... seriously though - I do really like the ones in the TOP 6... and unless someone else WOW's me... the winner will more than likely be one of these - and it will be based solely on design... and the designers ability to provide it in the sizes I need, the formats I want... (and hopefully they can also provide a favicon)

so far the TOP 6 (in no particular order) - are:

Hi Patrick...

you've moved up... you are now in the TOP 5...

I need to see it with the icon slightly reduced...

2 more versions gradually smaller icon each time...

thank you...

~DomainBeLL (Patricia)

 

[P|A|T|R|I|C|K]

That's great to hear. Feedback appreciated.

 

[umxca]

Hello Patricia thx for the FB...here's another idea...thx

 

[DomainBELL]

That's great to hear. Feedback appreciated.

hi patrick...

I'm headed to bed for a nap... my eyes are burning...

the icon needs to go about 15% smaller still yet... can I see that...
oh and - you are now in the top 4... if I don't end up picking this one for the Pilgrim project - I'll purchase it for you to tweak with another domain name...

thanks for everything...

~DomainBeLL (Patricia)

 

[jackieh1791]

Here are some revisions. I chose the leaf because you said you like fall colors. I'm not happy with either leaf just yet, but I'll keep working on them.

 

[DomainBELL]

Hello Patricia thx for the FB...here's another dea...thx

hi umxca...

you do nice work... that's not quite what I had in mind for this particular project... if you'd like to try something else fresh - you have at least 48 more hours to get your entry in...

thanks for sharing your creativity with me...

Hi jackie...

thanks for coming back and sharing more talent with me... did you see my comments to you in Post #104 above ??

Could you do that for me...

as far as your latest entries... they are nice... I understand your reason for selecting to try a leaf... that was a good thought... I don't like the leaves for this project but the idea that you tried to please me in that way - did not go unnoticed - and I wanted you to know that... (smile)

of the designs in this post - the last one with the font in orange and white is my favorite... can you use that and change out the icon to something else... and keey the icon smaller than the font...

thank you...

with the tweaks of post 104 and this post - those have a good shot of being in the TOP 4 or even TOP 3... or better... (smile)

LOOK What I FOUND:

I finally found a Mayflower Ship that's okay to use...

the one in the selection for the capital letter "P"
on this Page:
http://www.dafont.com/armada-pirata.font




?? - SW
I was wondering if I could see your's again with this Mayflower Ship
and the same font you used - but now banner ribbon or other graphics
except the Mayflower Ship... same color font... but LARGER...
and can the Mayflower Ship also be in the same color as the font....??

if you'd like to try it with these changes... I loved to see what that would look like... sounds like a "gem" in the making to me... what do you think ??

Hi Patrick....

I like that one... You are in the running... if you don't win this one - I will purchase that for something else in the future (with a domain change)...
(we'll discuss price in PM if you don't end up winning this one)

thanks for participating...
