Hi Nhr,

I love the concept, could you make one showing a king (im assuming that is a jack) and try a diffrent color scheme.
We will be moving away from the green and yellow most likely.

All and all a great first suggestion.

Regards,

Rakeupdate

Diferent colors and my king looks more like a king:

I like the concept not sure about the colors, a tad dark.

As far as colors for the model look at the king on a deck of cards and try to incorporate that.

RakeUpdate if you could try to use some colors that make it really pop.

Nhr, Could you replace the sword with maybe a wad of money in the kings hand?

Deanna, I like the way you put the spade and diamond into the text looks very good, but im not feeling the icon, its not really what I have in mind, the position of the icon is off the the side, looking for a more compact look.
If you have any other ideas for an icon id love to see them.

Keep them coming :)

Thank you

Deanna, the position of the logo is more what we like (above/behind/beneath) however the 4 aces has pretty much been done to death :)

Maybe I should explain alittle more in deepth what it is we do on rakeupdate.com

We are a rakeback affiliate.
If you play poker online the poker site you play on takes a small amount of every pot, this is referred to as the rake, they then utilize rakeback affiliates to advertise for them.

Any player who signs up thru us gets some of their rake back thus the term Rakeback.

Rakeupdate is where they can check their Rake and cashout their earnings.

In short this is where they go to see how much money, the rakeback program has earned them on top of the money made or lost thru playing poker online under any of our rakeback programs.

While staying with the poker theme, pherhaps something with money or a hint of riches would be interesting to see in the icon.

Hope this helps anyone out who wish to throw their hat in the ring.

Quck questions before revision:
- do you like some of presented color chemes?
- for money in king's hands, I need to use green. Is that ok? I mean, using green in the logo?

Using green is fine for the money :)
Use the color scheme from message #6
