Graphic Designers - Look here!

Subject: Graphic Designers - Look here! Thu Feb 16, 2012 4:49 pm

I feel that SwaggerCraft's online presence demands a more professional look. There are three things that I would like: a logo, a banner (few sizes), and a background for the website and forum.

Here's more info:

The color scheme I'm looking for is basically the new colors of swaggercraft.com - #ffffff, #222222, and #0072F2
The logo should say SwaggerCraft and try to incorporate a Minecraft style in someway. Dimensions don't really matter but obviously don't make it too big or too small. I'd like to use the logo for my twitter background too.
I need 2 types of banners. One for advertising and one for the website/forum.
The advertising banner should be 468x60 and convey something along these lines:
Try to incorporate the logo in the banners and background.

Keep in mind that I'm looking for high quality stuff. Don't waste your (and my) time posting stuff you made in MS Paint.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Please post what you come up with here. If I use what you make, you'll be compensated on SwaggerCraft Wink

The reward for this will vary on the quality of the work.

Two ad banner designs so far.
Maybe if there are enough entries, you should have a forum-wide vote?

Everyone please read the new color scheme information that I updated in the original post. You don't have to match these colors entirely but it would be nice if you could stick to this general color scheme.

Sorry for the late update Razz

Thought I'd give it ago, went with the theme of the spawn in the logo. Cool

Nice new Swaggercraft website Smile

My attempts at working around the color scheme are as follows
background / logo thing
with color scheme kinda / alt color
and a new ad banner adhering to the color scheme which I like less than the other ones Rolling Eyes

If anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it. Also, anyone can feel free to build upon my designs if they wish.

This is pretty good. I'm going to use it for my twitter background for now Smile

Same thing as my other banner but with the new colors. Any suggestions?

Edit: Oh and what size should the logo be. the same as this?

I'm thinking more of a square or slightly rectangular logo. Exact dimensions do not matter but just make sure you can resize it just in case.

Along these proportions:

Edit: If you need more ideas, I like how Minecraft-server-list.com did their logo/banner thing:

Any suggestions? I can't make it perfect without your opinion.

@Getknifed, just a question. What program was that made in, Paint.NET?

One more thing to think about... I like a minimalistic look. Simple yet stylish. Kind of like the new look of the website.
