I will be setting up a new website within the next couple of months and I am anything but an artist. I would love to have one of you guys design the Logo! I know there are some great artists out there and I would love to see what you guys have got. The website will be called "Bighead Herps" so try to incorporate that. :) Someone suggested cartoon-ish herps with over-sized heads. Sounds great to me but I'm open to anything. Just post it on this thread so we can get input from everybody. Don't be shy!

I'll buy any herp of your choice for the winner. Actually... maybe not- but I will give you $20 (preferably through Paypal). Let me know if you have any more questions.

I would, but my works and time at this moment are worth a bit more than $20.00. :p The supplies for a painting cost at least that amount, and more oftenly more. If you are interested I will create a painting for you depicting what you want after I provide a sketch and get the "Okay" from you.

I wish I could offer something like that, but being such a small scale breeder, it wouldn't yet be worth my while to pay much more or offer a breeding pair of anything. :) I was thinking there might be a couple of people who would just have fun throwing something together with photoshop or something. No worries. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

Sorry if I offended anybody...? I just thought it might be fun like the banner contests or something.

No i ment asphyxia came across a little harsh. Id do it for 20 bux but I have no art talent at all.

Oh, I know, Matt. I thought asphyxia might have been offended or something. You can look at it this way, though- I did say that I would give $20 for the best logo, so if you make one with "stick-herps" (yes I just coined that term) and you're the only one who submits something, morally, I have to put it on my site and you get $20 for 5 minutes of work. Something to think about. Haha.

Give the artist $20 AND a free link/small banner on the site for a time period, say a year. Free advertising is worth its weight in gold, provided your site will have the traffic. But if that artist were to pay for the webspace to showcase a piece of their art, it would cost them more than $20, that's for sure.

People who want to ever make money have to see the BIG picture. Don't think small, and don't think immediate Forfeit instant moo-lah for name-building, branding, and recognition.

I'm not the best artist on Computer, better with real paint. lol, but maybe I can try and help you out, let me know what your site is all about, what do you have in your collection, what would you like to see on the banner? ie: beardeds, cresteds, leos...
Anything that would help me out. THanks.
Deb.

Thanks Jeff. I would be more than happy to have the artist's banner on my page and other links to their site.

Brian- I know what clipart is. My point was that I'm looking for something better than I could do myself.

Debbie(?)- I like the banners so far. I will be selling beardies, corns, kings, jungle corns (hopefully), leos, fat tails, possibly some inverts, and some odds and ends. I like the winking herps you have on your site too. I still don't have a digital camera, but there are a couple pics of my herps in my gallery anybody can use.

I'll see if I can come up with something. I am quite good at website design (can we say biased?) but I have never done all that well with logos -- usually I end up paying someone else :D But I'll give it a shot for fun.

Thanks Darren and Jennifer. I would love to see what you guys can whip up. Feel free to post something up here so everybody can give feedback. Remember, it doesn't necessarily have to be a banner. I would love something I could shrink and put on a business card too, although whatever I end up liking best I will go with. Thanks for all the submissions so far.

Hey Jordan, Is there a theme going on the front page of the website? Like colour scheme? What are you planning on going with for the general looks of your main page?

What is your favorite colour?

Bighead

Hmm. I was kind of thinking I would end up choosing a theme and design depending on what the logo or banner looked like. tHeGiNo will probably be building it for me. He designed the Port Credit website (http://www.portcreditpets.com) and Chris Marshell's website (http://www.chrismarshell.com). He might have some different ideas, but I still want all the input I can get.

my favorite color is dark blue, but I'm not too worried about making that the color scheme. I like the one here at sSnakeSs a lot too.
