Sign Contest *Project Over*

[tariqhussain]

Hi (Admin code added by Palmer - 819722G)

I need a design for 3 seperate signs i want to put up in my shop. I have attatached our company logo as a jpeg file. we are a video games retailer and the printed signs will be about 5foot long by 1.5 foot high. the signs shouls convey the following messages.

1
lowest price guarantee

(note guarantee not guaranteed)


2
trade in your old games

3
10 day money back guaranteed on all games


feel free to mess round with the text and logo as long as the message still gets across any more info please email me


good luck and thank you

[admin edit]Designers, please make these in 300 dpi high resolution since they will be used for print[/edit]

Hi, here's an idea.

hi ejlain,

its not bad not so keen on the mustard type colour but the layout is not bad

couple of things i would like to change from my brief i said the printed size would be 5foot x 1.5 foot on reflection it probably will need to be 5foot x 2.0 or 2.25foot (should not really affect the artwork though the printers will scale it. The printers are all using macs so they will need an eps file foramt (woulf not envisage a problem for u guys with that) and also instead of lowest price guarantee we would like to go with.

free loyalty card with every purchase

SORRY for messing everyone around its my first attempt at running a comp


thanks for your patience

Since you need the signs in eps, can you provide your logo as an eps?

[tariqhussain]

good call,

that is the best version of our logo we have the only thing i have in an eps format with our logo on is from some loyalty cards we had done but im unsure of the quality.

but ive attatched it anyway


i hope its of use


thanks

tariq

[Palmer]

Tariq, if you could email it to me I'll upload it so you don't have to email it to all the members of the design team :)

Here are revisions. I scaled them to 5' x 2', changed colors and added the customer loyalty card.

Thanks

The other two banners with different text would look the same.....except for having different text.

hi fti grafix,


thanks but looks a bit dull for in store. Needs to be more punchy!!!! and eyecatching so i does stand out for rows and rows of video games



thanks

What are your specs for these signs anyway? spot color, four-color process, full-bleed? Any information you can get from your vendor would help a ton. Do you need a print-ready file? If so, maybe you can get a template from the printer. (The print designer in me is showing!) Thanks.

draft 1. :ph34r:

Draft 2

[Tyler]

Do you want these 3 signs to be very similar to each other as above :sideways: or each one with some degree of variation??

Feedback?

[Tyler]

Like this?

[Tyler]

How about putting characters into the mix?? I don't know a gamer today that doesn't like ninjas! :ninja:

[tariqhussain]

like the ninja, it made me laugh i think your on the right track and the lolaylty card he's holding looks like ours sheer luck, i would like to see it a bit lighter somehow looks too dark , but i do like it. see what you can come up with for the others



tariq

well done!!!!!!
