Logo/Banner Competition!

[Beardo]

:sl:

I am very pleased to welcome a new competition to IslamicBoard. At the moment, it's an open deadline. The title should say it all.

There will be TWO competitions, and you may participate in both. Both competitions are related to the new Al-Qalam Newsletter (QalamNewsletter.com).

Logo Competition:
Create a logo for Al-Qalam Newsletter. This can consist of anything, provided that the logo is not copyrighted or used illegally. Also, it may not consist of any human pictures or anything with eyes.

Banner Competition:
Create a banner for the Al-Qalam Newsletter site. The banner will be placed on the center of the top of QalamNewsletter.com and the size must fit that space. This can consist of anything, provided that the banner is not copyrighted or any part of it used illegally. Also, it may not consist of any human pictures or anything with eyes. Maximum (ideal) Size: 409 X 63

*~* Prize *~*
For each competition, there will be THREE winners.

1st Place Winners: $10 Gift Card + 500 Reputation Points
2nd Place Winners: 250 Reputation Points
3rd Place Winners: 100 Reputation Points

*New Addition* The 1st prize winners will also receive a 24 ounce Amphora Honey Jar. ('Special from Grandpa Woodrow!)

It will look like this only with a custom Label made just for the 2 first place winners.

Pure Home bottled South Dakota Clover Honey

:wa:

Deadline: October 1st, 2009!


Winners will be chosen by the member votes. I am considering staff votes to be worth more than regular member votes.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR WORK BY CLICKING ON THIS SENTENCE.

How can you give 500 reputation points when you only have 16?

I just want to get back in the sisters section imsad Can that be a prize?

What is the banner size?

And how big (or small) can the Logo be?

Why no eyes?

What's TBA? (Sorry)

If there's only three winners akhi, why does it say 'competitors'?

&

Bump.

Oh and when will the member voting take place?

AsalamuALaykum.

[Beardo]

500 Reputations, not points. Sorry bout that.

The size of the logo must be minimum the size of an avatar. But I won't restrict you with the logo size, as long as it is not ridiculously small or ridiculously big. A logo is a logo size!

Yes, with no eyes. Meaning, no animals, humans, insects, etc with eyes. You can't black out the eyes either, unless you black out the whole animal until it looks like a shadow.

TBA = To Be Announced

Competitors: You are right. I made a mistake there. I'll fix that asap.

Voting will take place after we close submissions. And, that is TBA.

Here! (Last line of post 1) :)

[Beardo]

How big should the banner be?

It'll be centered on the top of the QalamNewsletter.com site, so the size is flexible. I'll have to get back to you if you want an actual maximum/minimum size limits. :X

[Beardo]

Banner Size has been posted! refer to first post.

[Far7an]

[Beardo]

Mashaa'Allaah Na7lah and Hassan!

The first image is quite big so needs to be resized.

If you're talking about my first one then that's the same size with the border.

[Silver Pearl]

No I'm not talking about your images, I meant the first one I uploaded.

On the subject of size, Rashad stated in another thread that banners should be 409x63.

Ohh, I'm sorry I must have skipped over that part. No problem though I will remake it in a smaller size.

[UnknownOne]

Hold up designers!

The logo height should not be any bigger than 112 pixels else it will either compress in size when placed on the website or just not look so good.

Take a look at the current logo:

[Na7lah]

The logo is for a different site ^

[UnknownOne]

OOps. Forgive me.

That size should look good on Al-Qalam too :)

[Beardo]
