[Req-Logo+Banner] $40 for AC Poker Guys Logo and Banner

[myxter7]

Type of Contest: Logo+Banner
Prize: $40.00
Contest End Date: August 21 12:00am EST
Size Requirements: The logo can be whatever size. The logo will need to be placed in a banner at the top of the site. I am flexible with the size of the banner as the rest of the site can be designed around that.
Colors: I am very flexible with colors. Whatever you guys think is best. Due to the nature of the site I think neon colors might work well with the casino theme but I urge you to go with what you think looks best.

General Information: The site is www.ACPokerGuys.com. It is going to be the poker players guide for Atlantic City. It will have reviews of all the card rooms and tournaments offered in AC. We would like the logo to make it look like their are a couple of down to earth guys running the site. Maybe outlines of two guys with their thumbs up, two guys holding cards, or something of that nature. Also including poker chips or card symbols could work. I want everyone to get very creative with this, so I will leave my ideas at that. I have worked with the designers of this site before and it was a very positive experience. Rest assured that I will provide solid feedback on a very regular basis.

Additional Info:I will be offering the winner of the contest the job of designing the layout of the website if they wish. We will negotiate a price when the winner is picked.

Payment: I will be paying through paypal once a winner is declared.

Feel free to post or pm questions and I will respond in a timely fashion.

Thank You All Very Much and I Look Forward to Receiving Your Designs.

I made this for another contest but they didnt like it, so I changed it here for you maybe you will like it.

Pigbait- I think we are looking for something a little more sleek and web 2.0ish. You should start from scratch and overlay the text with the outlines of the two men. Thanks for your submission and hopefully we will see another.

Hey myxter, i made this like 5mins ago for another guy.. It's sleek, you can use as logo or banner, size fits both in different aspects, if so i'll change the text or any detail for you!

you will get the layerd psd

 

[myxter7]

OpenAreas- Its a cool looking banner, but again not quite what we are looking for. We would like something that incorporates either the outlines of a couple of guys, or some sort of poker or card symbols. That design is nice but just too simple. Thanks for the submission.

Was working on one. Was coming out good too...when I realised I had included a pair of dices as the centre of attention of the banner...

Forgot that, this is about poker, was aiming at gambling in general. Anyways, I'll drop in later.

entry

Logo is scale able so it can be bigger or smaller, and I'm willing to work on a website for you just send me a pm.

 

[pigbait75]

how about this for the logo?

 

[myxter7]

nevesman- A good design but not quite we are looking for. We want something more simple and less cluttered. I think you should just go with the chips. I would change the font and move it to the left of the banner. Also looking for something that stands out a little better, perhaps more bold striking colors.

Patriot- We like your design a lot. A couple of suggestions on improving it. There is currently another Atlantic City website that uses a diamond in the background of some of their text. Would it be possible to put a Spade in the background instead? Also if their would be anyway to include a sillouette of two guys in some sort of cartoon like shape... (like on this site except obviously smaller www.baratsandbereta.com) That would be great if not everything else looks great.

Pigbait - This is much more on the right track. I can't tell what color the design is due to the watermark. I think it is black or grey. I would change the colors to make it stand out more. I would suggest that you change up the font to something a little smaller as well. Also, I don't think you should repeat the letters AC twice, just use the ones with the guys in the background and follow it up with 'PokerGuys'

Anyone feel free to look at that website to see what I mean by cartoon guys. Thanks for the entries so far and we look forward to receiving more.

Hello myxter7, i see your after something very specific. Please pm me with details on what you want, what type of images, what sort of effects.. maybe a specific font? Size requirements, i prefer to work with alot of details and less freelance.

 

[Patriot]

nevesman - This is much more along the lines of what we are looking for. I think everything looks great however the chips look a little out of place. There needs to be something there that looks more natural.

Pigbait - This is also much more along the lines of what we are looking for. My suggestion would be to change the color and layout of the 'pokerguys.com'. I like the way the AC turned out.

umxca - This not quite what we are looking for. I think that the guys on the poker chip look a little awkward. Changing them as well as the font would make your design much better.

Patriot - I like your design a lot. I think the spade looks much better and more unique then the diamond. I don't know if there is anything else that you could to do it that would make it better without messing it up. Right now we consider your design the front runner but we will have to see what happens with everyones resubmissions and all together new submissions.

Thanks for everyones designs thus far and we look forward to seeing more as the week goes on.

 

[pigbait75]

what you think of this?

 

[myxter7]

Pigbait - That looks great. I don't think I would change anything in that design. We agree that your design is a front runner along with Patriot.
