Graphic Design Contests

**thehuskybear** · 01-09-2012, 12:32 PM

Hi,

I have my logo in .svg and .png formats and I am looking to have it converted to a true vector that can be scaled to large sizes, such as banners and large auto decals.

Also, if you are up to it, Id like to see an american flag behind the horse & cowboy in a way that it blends with but doesn't obscure the text. Feel free to be creative. This is not a requirement though.

I need all file formats listed so I can send them to my printer as well as use them on my website.

do you know the font?

edit: svg = scalable vector graphic - this already offers what you're looking for

Hello,

The font is called Bleeding Cowboys and can be found here:

Oh and the format works, but the image of the cowboy needs to be vectorized. I dont have access to AI right now or else Id do it myself. I tried using Inkscape, but cant figure out how to get a decent vector out of the image.

That actually looks very close to what I had in mind. Any chance you can give the flag a wavy appearance to make it look a little more natural?

Thanks,

Sam

gooddesigner, I am really liking that second one. Do you think you can do a 1px white stroke around the cowboy and if possible, remove the swirls on the top of the font to give it a cleaner look?

You guys are all doing great work and I really appreciate your efforts

Here's a theme with the lone cowboy riding on a setting sun

(with and without the swirls)

Thanks both of you for your efforts. If there is no more submissions in the next day or so, I may end the contest early (if thats not against the rules...haven't been on in a while so I don't remember lol)

On January 21st I sent the CH, thehuskybear, a PM inquiring if they had reached a decision, no response forthcoming. The thread will be closed.
