$500 "Powered By NATS" button design contest...
 

We need some buttons made and we're going to let u guys go at it :)

There will be only one winner chosen for this contest. The prize is $500.

You must design 6 buttons. They all need to have the same feel/theme/look to them.

We need "Powered by XXXXXX" buttons for NATS, CARMA, and SPARTA.

We need one for each at 120x60 and one for each at 88x31 for a total of 6 buttons. Again, all buttons should have the same concept/look/feel/general design to them. They should differ in base color, logo and text only. All 6 need to work and go together.

The logo files for these products can be found here: http://www.toomuchmedia.com/resources/ (For CARMA use the Silver CARMA logo).

The buttons should say nothing more than "Powered by XXXXXX" with XXXXXX being the product name of course. The logo of the product should be included tho not the focus. No URL or other text can be on the buttons.

They should be simple, clean, and professional, almost mainstream looking. They should be static not animated and as clear as possible (the carma and sparta logos should create a big of a challenge).

Any questions can be posted here.

This contest will run for 2 weeks ending on The 29th of November at midnight EST. We will choose only one winning set of 6 matching buttons from one designer. We will NOT use the non-winning entries.

Have fun and good luck! (I'll be bumping this periodically of course :) )

Nice, awesome contest.

Great contest. How about having someone from your staff get back to me regarding the e-mail I sent them (from the e-mail form on your site) 4 or 5 days ago to get set up with NATS.

cool :thumbsup

Great contest for great products :)

Great contest as always by TMM :)

:thumbsup

some nice entries already :thumbsup

bump for John


blunt for me :)

Some great looking stuff.

All of them are replied to and replied to quickly, I do it myself (the form inquiries). Sorry if you were somehow missed or it or its reply did not make it through. Please send me another email to albright[]toomuchmedia[]com if you have not recieved a reply. Or ICQ me, 5596373, or AIM, JohnA1078, Thanks.

Sorry guys. A few more things I also thought of after seeing the first entires (good job btw everyone). You may move teh SPARTA and CARMA name from where it is in relation to the icon of the product. You should also remove the URL under the NATS logo and also remove the "Organize Your Content" from the CARMA logo as they both become unreadable at those sizes. Thanks!

Another thought/tip. These should be defined boxes as they will go on all sorts of varied backgrounds.

bumpp 8.

Nice Contest!

Nice job Onno. Have a portfolio up? I need some design stuff done.

We don't want them to be quite so colorful guys. Color is fine but not too colorful :)

Theres my kick at the cat :)
Good Contest As always Pbucks!

what? are you serious? If you border and want fuck someone just go out and dont border here, this is supose to be somethig serious and we dont want people fucking arround

I'm not saying it looks bad but it's very unoriginal. I'm sure you can do better than this.

then say that and not that i did a ripoff of someones work. for me this is really serious and i dont want have problems with onther because people start saying that i'm coping.

if you just take a moment to compare MR2raymond buttons arent like mine... the logos are the same for sure, but is someting we can't modiffy. Btw i think both buttons are good.

:upsidedow

Those are VERY nice :thumbsup

Wow, good work :)

Damn, those are nice. But I'm still going to throw mine up.
