Designers, a zip file with images for this contest can be found here (http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/?showtopic=1785).

Hi Guys

I would aapreciate it if you could post your designs for a logo for carrah.co.uk (http://www.carrah.co.uk), a wholesale jewellery store dealing mainly in sterling silver. If you visit the site you can see the colour scheme. The exact colour values are as follows:

Purple: #660097
Silver: #DEDEDE

I have contacted palmer and he will kindly post some artwork (high quality pics of the items we stock) in the private folder for the designers to upload.

The size of the logo is 792x132 pixels and the fonts used for the site are Caeldera and Verdana. I would like to see fading pics and words to describe the product ideally using the squares as it is on the current logo.

Here are some words that we would like to be used in the logo. Feel free to add to them:

Exceptional Quality, Sterling Silver, Exquisite, Timeless Pieces, Unique Designs, Hand Polished.

The ideal dead line for this competition is mid-day on the 27th of october.

I hope the above is enough to get you started, if you have any questions or would like more info please feel free to reply to this thread, PM or e-mail me.

Regards

Mehdi

PS please note that this is the UK site hence the funny spellings :)

If by Drop Shipping you mean do we deliver to the retailer's door step then the answer is YES!

[Carrah]

:( anyone interested?

[Palmer]

This request is a little more time consuming than a typical logo contest. I'm sure they are working on something and you will see some entries soon.

[Michael]

Just to let you that I'm working on something

Us Uk'ers have to stick together ;)




Michael

[Carrah]

I like it so far, well done. I have a few minor adjustments in mind which I will need to discuss with my business partner too and I will get back to you later tonight.

Thanks again.

[Michael]

Sure no prob's.


I'm sure others will join later.

Hi Michael,

Please find the amendments below:

1- Can we add the word Jewellery to Exquisite so we have 'Exquisite Jewellery'?
2- Is it possible to have the animation run slower?
3- Can we please have the animation come to a static end rather than loop and finish with something like 'Wholesale Distributors to the Gift and Jewellery Trade' with a couple of our products showing as well?
4- I have a couple more photos that I am sending to Plamer to post on the private section for uploading please feel free to use them.

Many thanks for your time and effort on this.

Cheers

Mehdi

[Michael]

Michael,

Just a few adjustments:

1- Can we please have Wholesale Distributors on one line and 'to the Gift and Jewellery Trade' on the second line, in a smaller font than present of course.
2- The speed of the animation is fine now but is it possible to have the animation more fluid.

Many thanks

[Michael]

No problem :)

Thanks for patience, :)

[Carrah]

Thank you both Michael and Nat for submitting your design. We have decided and the winner is:

Nat

Thanks Michael for all your effort and for submitting a design we certainly did consider it until Nat came up with the exceptional design that won the contest. We hope you don't mind.

Once again thanks you both for your effort.

Nat, Can you please adjust one tinsy winsy thing on there for us. When right click on the image and try to replay, the statis image lingers on while the animation plays on the background can you fix it so the whole thing starts again.

Many thanks

[Michael]

Congrats Nat :tup:

Michael

[marengo]
