Bitcoin Forum

We are holding a contest to design signature and avatar for our upcoming sportsbook website called betandwin.cc The design for the website is still being decided so if we see a particularly attractive work we might even model our design based on it.

Signature:

We will need Full, Sr. and Hero Member signatures.
- The logo of the website will contain a football (soccer ball). You may decide to incorporate that in the signature.
- Colour theme we have in mind: Black, White, Red & Blue.
- Signature should revolve around a sports theme , so it should be hip and attractive, while also giving out a professional vibe.
- There should a be a link to the Bitcointalk thread.
- Decide your own text, make it creative! We encourage out of the box ideas. For instance if you think Bet & Win would look better, go for it.

1st Prize: 0.3BTC
2nd Prize: 0.15BTC

You can have multiple entries to improve your chance of winning, and you can even win both the prizes. If you come up first with a unique text which we like, then we will ask the winning entry to use it after awarding you a small portion of the winning prize.

Avatar:

We have allotted 0.05BTC to design avatar. It will be divided among all the entries which we would like to use.

The decisions regarding the winners and the prize awarded are final and at our discretion. The rules can also be updated anytime as we see fit.

Funds are escrowed with Carra23. He will confirm here.

You have 2 weeks to come up with your designs. We may extend the deadline if needed, but can also stop the contest earlier (but not less than 1 week from now) if we are satisfied with the entries.

The contest is now open. All the best!!

Thanks Bet & Win for utilizing my service. I have received 0.5BTC for the signature design contest.

That's a huge bounty , I can't wait to see the winner.
I will try my best for the design

Wishing you all the best then mate. Looking for some out of the box entries. There are many talented people here.  ;)

This is an awesome contest with high bounty. But this website doesn't have any logo yet, does it? Or could we make the logo to be put in the avatar design?

We already have a logo design but we also want to see some of your ideas and we may incorporate it in our logo changes. So go wild. The theme has already been posted in op , so work around it . Good luck. 

I am looking forward to the signature design may the best coder wins  ;D as for the avatar i think i will join in  ;D

awesome contest, i will do my best for sure  :D

good luck to everyone

Ah I see. Thanks james.lent for explaining, I will work it as soon as possible. The highest bounty so far, really will need high effort on it.

Sorry for asking a stupid question here, but who will be chosing the winning entries? Will you do it on the behalf of betandwin, or you will show them the entries and they will choose the winners?

Wow ilove your designs Indianacoin where do you get your imagination i hope i have those skills hehe Good luck to your entry it was good. :)

Actually looks quite nice. I only have a problem with the kerning of the letters and the intricate crown. Minimalism is beautiful as well.

Nice entry mate :D and a massive submission..

Yeah both your designs seems exactly same :-\

You could put watermark on your design so other people can't take that.

I think the quality of the design submitted is too high for me to enter my design. The prize is so good, all good designers will enter. Mine has zero chance of even taking second prize. Will be watching this thread, good luck to all.

Why will you exempt yourself from trying at least ? OP may like your deign ;)

I have tried, I know. If you follow the design contests closely you will understand. Top designers wave their magic wands and characters dance into place in un-imaginable arrays. :D

Here are my designs for Bet&Win.

Spent a lot of the time coding the football. It's not perfect, but it resembles the real chequered pattern. I want the football to be the centre of attention, so I positioned it in the centre. This effect is better demonstrated in the senior signature with lines pointing at it from both sides.

I believe you might not prefer a "large text" effect full member design that has been copied so many times recently. I created something different. The name "Bet&Win" and "Bitcoin Sportsbook" is still very prominent in the signature.

It's clean, simple, and looks professional. Hope you like them.  :)

Here are my 2nd set of designs for Bet&Win.

It was difficult not to have a website for guidelines. Having no restrictions gave me an chance to test out this new concept of mine.

I created this "badge" to highlight the site name and the football. I chose red as the primary colour because the bookie I know has always been red.

http://i58.tinypic.com/2pshh83.png

I believe some might think red is too bold for a signature. So I also did another blue version.
This is "hip and attractive giving out a professional vibe". Hope you like these and also the ones before.  :)

Very nice entry medUSA.

This contest is now closed. Any submission after this post would not be entertained. Would like to thank everyone who had taken part. Winners will be announced within the next 24 hours and payments will be sent out accordingly. Thank you again and good luck everyone.

You can do it!
Usually the great designer initially attempt with sketch or some vector program that put the image into some grid and ready to experiment with it.
For me , designing attempt require a dilligent attempt with accuracy and creativity thought. So it will consume your time and your energy quite lot
