Needing website logo $50 prize

[Jen]

Okie Dokie

I am looking for a site logo for my new site Yourkidmatters.com

It will be a site for parents that has all sorts of information from shopping, childcare, health, etc.

I need a kid/family oriented logo.
The logo may be animated but nothing huge.

The site will be using bright colors throughout the site for now. It may change so I will need the logo in a psd format so I can change as I see fit.

Use your imagination, I have no idea what kind of logo or style I'm looking for.

Payout will be made via paypal in $50.

PLEASE put a watermark on your entries as I don't want someone else to take them.

This will end in two weeks or until I see a winner already. :)

Thanks for reading and GOOD luck!

ps...it's a great time to enter and if you win, you can buy your loved ones some pressies for x-mas :)

So the main requirement is that it has to be a PSD? What about image size (height/width) requirements?
Will the logo be used on products such as shirts, printed labels etc?
;) rk.

[RKGraphics]

do you have a size in mind?

edit//andrew beat me to the q

[Jen]

Oh yeah, oops....

It can be gif/jpg. I was just wanting the psd in case I need to change colors at a later date

Size.....hmmm

600px wide should do
no taller than 200px

Im not really sure what the colors are gonna be yet. Either pastels or bright fun colors.

Hmmm, Nah just on the website. I have no intentions on offering purchasable goods..lol..

[Jen]

I will also add....

For 2nd and 3rd place I will offer a link on my myspace Profile-Comments site for 3 months. Just something extra for offering your time in entering...

[applebooty]

I'll enter :)

[ladee_tee]

i'll enter, =]

[Jen]

Awesome :)

[Jen]

Anyone else like to get involved?

[CharmRoyal]

I might try this :)

[tacoflavoredkisses]

count me in =]

[Jen]

Good to hear

PS....Im ending this in a week instead of two....my site is coming along faster then I thought rofl

[Sugarlipz]

I'll try to get this done TONIGHT. I'm entering either way. I wanted to make a site like that, I just lack the money and coding/scripting skills. Lol.

[Sugarlipz]

These are four different versions. I saved all of them in PSD form. I can edit colors, fonts, fonts sizes and positioning. You might not be able to see the white outline of one, since its on a white background. Hope you like them. Maybe you can save them and put it on a darker background so you can see the white outlines. I think only one has it. I dunno. I can also anti-alias them too. Lol. Hope you love them.

Sorry for the double post.

I got the PSD format, but I used paint shop pro by the way =]

Hello...

Here's an idea for your consideration....

http://www.designsbypam.com/ykm/ykm.jpg

Feedback is always appreciated.
(A quick get to know me blurb... I'm new here as you can see with this being my first post. But I'm not new to design. http://www.designsbypam.com. I just bought the MSRS and will be opening one soon and figured I'd jump in with a design. ;) )

~Pamela

[Jen]

I like that one ALOT!!!!

[LeadSister]

Thanks :) The "Kid" part is a 3d .ai vector image and would have to be modified with Illustrator. But all the other text can be modified in Photoshop and the logo will be saved as a psd and any other file format you need.

~Pamela

[Andrew2]

All logos ranged from 500-1200px (originals). Previews:

[CharmRoyal]

Did you get my entries through PM? :)

[Sugarlipz]

So one of us may not win? It could be someone at the other forum correct?

[Jen]

It can be anyone from either forum. There is one grand winner for the $50 and second and third runner up.

I only posted there to get more entries

[CharmRoyal]

I think you might have overlooked my post, but did you get my entries? Reason I'm hesitant to ask was because I deleted the sent message to you so I'd have to upload them all to Image Shack again.

[Jen]

Hey CR

I did overlook them :O Sorry about that. They are good they just remind me of text to be glitterized....Looking for something a little more professional looking....There good quality though :)

[Jen]

Everyones entries are awesome!

Reminder, this ends at 9pm tonight US EST.

Some people like bitmap fonts (i do) and so I made this one.

and the next ones a playdoughy logo, easy to modify especially in ps, add strokes/fill letters in to match theme etc.
