Did you read the requirements? No offense to bangman, but he "bangs" them out quickly, haven't seen any sophisticated ones from him, like the one the contest seeks to reward.

Nice ;) You should also checkout envisionnext's new website for design contests.

Yeah I saw it, I might throw this up there too. But something tells me I will have success on GFY. I've seen some sick logo designs being cranked out here over the past years.

He does work out a lot -- agreed -- but I have seen him power-lift when nobody else is looking --

Question is, is the incentive enough for him to powerlift?

I know it isn't enough for me to set any staff on it.

All I can say is this:

During our business association, he has proven himself quite INSPIRABLE, above and beyond the tugging of remuneration --

A gentle bump for the US morning crowd.

**Antonio** · 01-25-2006, 06:47 AM

here's a little bump for you

and btw I read carefully your replies in my mainstream 'plan' thread (about the free articles etc), and you helped me make up my mind

Instead of starting shitload of useles sites that simply use recycled articles, I'm going to build only one with 100% original content that'll be quite usefult to 5-6 billion people around the world ;)

Hopefully in 12 months time or so I'll starting seeing the fruits of my labour

**Antonio** · 01-25-2006, 06:52 AM

usefult = useful
starting seeing = start seeing

**llporter** · 01-25-2006, 06:54 AM

GFY is the place to go for design contests, many amazingly talented designers who are looking for work. I need a logo done for a new mainstream blog, mobilitay.com. The site's theme are mobile gadgets, portable computing and communication. Laptops, cell phones, PDAs, hell anything technical you can take with you on the go.

Following logo requirements:

- 780 px wide
- The site's background will be white, work the logo around that
- Technical, sophisticated theme
- Color preference gears towards blue & orange, but not a requirement.
- Beside the site name, the phrase "The Mobile Weblog" should appear on the header as well

That's it, lots of room to work with - the contest will go until Wednesday, February 1st, 11:59 PST. The designer with he winning logo will be paid $300 in Paypal or ePasspore. Good luck, show me whatchu got!

Just a suggestion Equinox, you should let them know what kind of theme you had in mind for using on wordpress or whatever blog publishing tool you are using so they don't make the header too big or too small.

I'l be using a customized theme for WordPress that I'll actually develop myself after the header/logo is done

**JamesK2** · 01-25-2006, 10:04 AM

Nice contest. Might give it a shot after I finish my clients work

**deftone1** · 01-25-2006, 01:49 PM

simple try

hello sir, this is my first time doin a header design for a contest like this and i'll just give it a try to enter my simple design and i'm kinda adjusting into it. Thanks :-)

**X37375787** · 01-25-2006, 02:00 PM

Thanks for the first entries, keep em coming.

I just wanted to add that it doesn't need to be a full-fledged header, a logo like hyperdrive's will do, too. Do what you feel most comfortable with.

**PinkElectric** · 01-25-2006, 03:19 PM

**X37375787** · 01-26-2006, 01:08 AM

We have an update!

I found a theme that appealed to me, you can see it on the live site. Personally, I like what this guy did to the theme.

Please work the header accordingly.

**Murderous** · 01-26-2006, 01:10 AM

I made a pretty nice animated header that turned out pretty decent, however it is 300k and looks like shit if I optimize it any more. haha.

*goes off to learn more on vector*

**lakroze** · 01-26-2006, 01:51 AM

do u mind if there is flash in the header ?

Most GFY designers are there already, AND there is a chance of our team participating

good luck in the contest! Give ADC a try another time

, it doesn't exclude you from posting your contest on GFY.
