GN: Sorry, I was referring to a size limit in kb. Thanks for the resolution of the logo though :wave:

Chmaka: I like how you used that silhouette, I wasn't sure what to do with it. Good thinking! :rasta:

Here's my submission...

Do you guys see the H in the C and the 9?
I dig negative space...

I made a green version for regular seeds, as well as a grey/pink version for the Girl Collection. I'll see if I can't knock something out for a banner in the next few days...

A start on the logo...not happy with the font or border yet. Happy with the illustration though. Will work more on it if there is interest.

I used Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" for inspiration but gave mine more of a "come hither" look in her eye. :rasta:

Probably the best known image of Venus/Aphrodite. I hope a little nudity is ok ;)

Well I think it's a good question, how far are we allowed to go by using artwork and images we find on the internet? I don't want to spend time in Photoshop only to be told "Sorry, you can't use that." Are we concerned with copyrights and stuff, or is it just a free for all?

tuco, is that original art by you? If so, that's awesome, I've always wished I had artistic talent.

Ok, I'm sorry to be irritating, but I have a couple questions that I'd really like to have answered.

1. What size will the logo be used at? No sense in making a detail filled 1200x800 logo if it's going to be used as a 240x160 thumbnail, which will make it look like a mess.
2. What is the size limit of the banner? I've checked, and it looks like the banners on the site here are all 15kb-30kb, should we try to stay in that range?

Again, I'm sorry to be asking all these questions, but I've done some basic graphic design and you need to know what you're working with before you can go into a project. I'm extremely appreciative that we even have a chance to be in a contest like this, I just want to make sure I play by the rules and not have to worry about my entry not qualifying due to a technicality.

....The logo will be used as a thumbnail and eventually on seed-packs....so there is no need to make it massive.....and the banner size will be the same size as any banner on this site.....


....orignal artwork is preferable.....so as not to upset anyone with copyright infringements etc....

My logo is an original piece of artwork, I didn't "find" it...Like I said, I used Botticelli's painting as inspiration because it's probably the most famous depiction of the goddess, Venus.

Look closer at Botticelli's original work...you can see my piece is different in many ways. But obviously - I want people to look at my piece and go "Oh look, it's Botticelli's Venus."

I remember reading many years ago that famous paintings especially older renaissance works are public domain. My work DOES NOT breach ANY copyright laws.

It's my original artwork inspired by a famous renaissance painting. It was painted in Photoshop using a Wacom drawing tablet.

I hope this clears up any doubts. I'm happy to answer any questions.

great logo. i would change the face a bit.. to me she looks a little "froggy" and wierd. and maybe have her arm cover her other breast as well making it more classy. but other than that its a very nice entry.

Thanks guys.

Endo, I was thinking of keeping the arm more like the original but wanted to have her holding a seedling or seeds...hmmm, you might be onto something though.

I'll give it an edit in the next few days and clean things up a bit.

Cheers.
