Logo Design by ZenLayout™

Comment Posted 17-November-2009 11:21:31 AM

Flexo has DEFINITELY got the right idea. The subtle flash is fantastic - other ideas are welcome, but this is clean and great.

@Flexo - MOST of the banners will be used on the CAPLINQ.com website, so the whole logo and slogan are probably NOT needed.

I think I want to split up the banners into three messages:
Message#1: Shipping rates are calculated AUTOMATICALLY based on PRODUCT WEIGHT & SHIP TO address. Orders from Asia, Europe, Africa ship from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Orders from USA, Canada, Mexico ship from Ottawa, Canada.

Message#2: Customers can choose from Canada Post (if shipping from Canada), TNT Post (if shipping from Netherlands) <-- these options appear depending on SHIP TO location, UPS (both NL and CA), Customer's own carrier or FLAT RATE: $450.

Message#3: Payment options are a) by Purchase Order (on approved credit), b) Credit Card, c) PayPal d) Bank Transfer

Hi! Some tips to get the most our of your contest:

- Start ranking designs as they get posted. Update daily if you can.
- Give feedback to submissions, with hints and requests, be always kind and helpful, this will help designers a lot!
- You can use the "not interested" to discard what you really don't like. Don't worry, nobody get offended.
- Designers are ranked with our score system after each contest:

Winner => 50 points
2nd place => 20 points

Not discarted entries get 3 points.

How to rank entries:

#1231 This is 300x250 with light colours. It can be an animated gif with changing text in the baloon.

Sorry, I didn't know there were any entries already. Thanks for your submissions. The colors that Flexo submitted are much more in line than what AlexB has submitted, but the concept AlexB has submitted, is much more the goal.

I really want "mini-ads" mini banners that give a message. Ideally, there would be either a little animation (like animated gif) or .swf files.

This is because I don't think the whole message can be squeezed into one caption, and if a picture says a 1000 words, than animation says a million.

As for creating several banners, I completely agree with Remco. I would like only one THEME of banners for now, so different sizes are not necessary.

I'll feedback more as thing progress, thanks!

It's no use to create several different banners if the clients doesn't like the concept...That's a waste of time.
