4btc Bounty - New Logo for BitCoinTorrentz.com

[mjcmurfy]

I'm offering a 4 btc bounty for a new logo for BitCoinTorrentz.com.

I'm rubbish at this sort of thing, and want something kind of web-2.0 looking, that fits in with the current style of the site - which admittedly looks rather non web-2.0. LOL. Draw on bitcoin and bittorrent related themes. It's not much to go on, I know - thats why I'm paying for someone else's creativity

The current logo is:



Dimensions: 324 × 69 px.
The height has to be 69px but there is some give on the width.
Preferably around the 300-350px range, but smaller width's are acceptable if you can make it look good.

I need an adobe photoshop image file, or any other vector format that photoshop can open, with all the objects and layers intact (i.e. not flattened).

Please post draft png/jpg's here along with your bitcoin address, or PM me in private.
Feel free to watermark the drafts if you like, fill the background with the same shade of green in the logo above for ease of comparison.

I will send payment of 4btc to the creator of the logo of my choosing, in return for:
1) the photoshop file
2) an unwatermarked png rendering with height 69px
3) any custom fonts you used in the draft

I will probably wait for a few submissions before I decide, but I may decide early if I am drawn to a particular logo.
Just want to add also that I reserve the right not to pick any if I do not find one appropriate for the site.

Thanks a lot

here's a rough draft... if it feels like it's on the right track, let me know and i'll embiggen and vectorize it properly.

[payb.tc]

actually it's mostly vector already, it's just the Z i did the lazy way because photoshop wouldn't let me turn it into a shape layer because i was using 'faux bold' on the font...

[mjcmurfy]

Thanks for the draft payb.tc. Looking good! Could you fill the background with the same color as the original logo so I can visualize how it will look in situ? Also, maybe add a drop shadow on the text with some text outline. Good work!

[payb.tc]

hey, it took a while to get it to look okay on green, but here it is.



by the way, since my first draft i made an absolute mess of the PSD... there are rasterizations everywhere.

but feel free to use this small copy free of charge if you want, at least until me or someone can clean up the PSD and vectorize it properly.

edit: here it is a bit more cropped:

Nice work mate, I think I prefer the second style.
I know a green background is hard to work with. I might end up changing the header to a fainter shade of green.
I do need a properly formatted psd though, so I can make modifications later if necessary.

[payb.tc]

okay i cleaned up the PSD and 100% vectorized it...



sending you a PM with the PSD...

thanks for the photoshop practice thanks for making me realise i need much more photoshop practice.

no payment necessary.

Really great work payb.tc. It looks so much better than the logo I currently have. And thanks for your generosity mate, thats really kind of you offering the logo for free. If you are a member of the site, I can give you a discount on the rate instead if you like? Just PM me your username and I'll take care of it a.s.a.p.

Thanks again.

Yeah. Very grateful to payb.tc for his effort. I haven't had a chance to change it yet.
Going to to it now.
