Florida Rental Owners Forum logo contest *Project Over*

[outatime]

(Admin code added by Palmer - JS432743C)

Hello all

Need a logo/header for my site/forum please, the url for the website is http://www.top-forums.com and as you can see the image I already have is in the top left corner and I HATE IT!

What I would really like is something colourful and fun, I don't really need professional but would welcome all logo's.

The Name of the site is: Florida Rental Home Owners Forum
Domain name: Top-Forums.com

The website as you can read from the index is a forum for owners of rental villas/homes in Florida, we have meetups now and again and all live pretty near to each other when in Florida.

If possible I would like it to blend in well against the orange background I have and so it could fit in well in that corner but also if I could have a larger copy that I can change the background on and other items as I often change the logo at Xmas and Halloween etc.

The logo is going to have to have a picture of a villa on I think, maybe a palm tree (everything Florida seems to have it) but these are just basic ideas I have and if anyone has better ones please use them I am open to all ideas.

Attached is an image that we use for badges we send out to members but I don't think its a very good logo for the top of the page, a little boring but maybe something can be done with it!

Also attached is yet another old vb logo which I didn't like........don't like much do I :)

ok think that's all I can give you, the contest will close on 29/8/2004 and prize is $120

Make me proud guys !

Going for the "colorful and fun"!

Hi all

Thank you for the images, not really sure about them so I am hoping some more will be submitted for me.

I was looking for something a little more flashy and better looking, I am going to be using this as a VB Header so if you could work on something over the top of the image below for me that would be great and maybe most of the space given, few more colours on the home?

Sorry I am not very good at this, maybe I will have a search later for logos previously done I like the look of.

Any other logo's for me please?

Thank you

Hello again

Thank you for your logo but I still not really happy with the way these logo's are coming out, maybe I am not giving you enough example, that orange background just ignore it for the time being and we can come up with something afterwards.

I have been looking around and found some logo's I really like, see below:

As you can see there is a lot of colour and I especially like the logo's with palm trees , maybe we should look at that instead of a home and the homes don't seem to be coming off the way I hoped maybe a small florida map could be tested too?

Also I am going to add another $30 to this auction so total will be $150 for the winner.

Thank you

Stuart

Thank you very much.

Anyone else have any logo's to submit to the contest? I am a little disapointed about the lack of responce compaired to other contests others and even ones I have done, am I doing something wrong with this one? Please let me know how I can resolve it.

Thank you.

Hi Tonya, thats perfect, thank you very much, will contact you privatly for more details, thank you.

[Tonya]

Oops. I forgot one thing. In the original design, I'd blocked out parts of the circular sun bands where text overlapped. So here are those same 2 versions from above, but with portions of the sunny bands knocked out for the text.

If you preferred it the way I'd already done it, that's fine too. I just wanted to make sure I was being consistent in the design.
