Hi all,

Im going to be having quite a few of these in the next few months so keep those eyes peeled.

This one should be a bit easier, Im needing a smaller logo no bigger than 125 x 125 to catch attention for a discussion forum on one of my backpacker travel sites. The logo will go where the different categories are now located at:
http://www.backpackearth.com

To get an idea of where the logo will be placed take a look here:
http://www.backpackearth.com/sample.html

Light gray, navy and yellow are what I use most for the website so try and work with that if at all possible. The logo needs to say "Backpacker Message Boards" and will cater to the eyes of student travelers heading to Europe so try and keep the theme as related as possible.

I need full rights and I do want to let everyone know that if I cannot find a good design thats fits what I can see in my mind I will not choose a winner. Someone PMed me a pretty harsh note earlier this evening in regards to this in another thread so I want to make sure we are all on the same page.

PRIZE

I can pay you $10.00 via paypal and give you a link for life at:
http://www.backpackearth.com/link-partners.html

Contest will run until 8:00 PM Pacific time on 04-06-05

Note: This contest is also being ran at:

I'm thinking about replacing the red sign, but I think the rest looks nice.

WOW! Good job everyone! once again you guys/gals have amazed me. Vicki, I really dig the first one. Is there any way you can make the font stand out from the image a little more. I really like the backpacker image at the bottom of the planet. Good stuff.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it, here's an updated version:



On the bottom left side, there's a light version of how it would look at a smaller size.

Vicki, can I suggest you use a red stroke on the text?
That would certainly make it stand out, as long as zman doesn't mine you using red...

Vicki you have me drooling here. I love it!

I like what CB suggested, maybe a small amount of red in the text "message boards". Is that to much to ask? Would it even work?

Thanks for the suggestion I know you mentioned stroke but I tried a gradient with gray and red for the message board text, hopefully this works also. Otherwise, I can try other methods later on today.



Thanks!

I actually meant a red outline/border on the text, thats called a stroke in PhotoShop, but it looks great anyway!

Nice rico, but the font is very hard to read at that size.
