Default are there any graphic designers in the house? $70 prize!

afternoon all,

i am looking for somebody with some graphic design skills that can produce a logo for my website, http://www.xateam.com

i obviously have no skill in graphic design but would love to see if there is somebody out there who does...

the kind of logo i'm looking for is to be in an "A-Team" stencil-type font, similar of the TV show. it has to say "The xA-Team" on it and the more it resembles the original "The A-Team" show, the better.


my current logo, but not happy with it...

anyway, somewhere in the logo i am looking for an xa to go along with it.

the size of the logo will be about 500 pixels in width and 125 pixels in height. i am working with a green scheme and dark green would probably work best... white or transparent background please!

i will also need it in vector format in case i end up making stickers and such.

please pm me or reply here if you have any questions, feel free to watermark your work but i will promptly pay $70 paypal for the winner... and if there are enough entries $20 for runner up and $10 for third

please note i am pretty picky but if the design works and you are willing to work with me to tweak it, please feel free to enter.

thanks much.

Hit up our designer if you want something professional. He should be able to work around your price.

His website is www.dvsblends.com. Best way to get a hold of him is through email - 411@dvsblends.com

dang... this one is pretty good...

the bullet holes and font are exactly the same as the a-team!

the only thing i'm wondering is: can we have a different car than the one posted? maybe of a nice clean fixed up one that can sit there? other than that i really like it...

or actually just use this xa... http://shizzle.us/xa_desktop_1024x768.jpg

flip it around so the front end is facing towards the right

placement is fine of where you put it on the original logo

maybe show it in a green or black color? (the xa i mean) (the original silver is good too)

also, any chance of seeing different sort of textures inside the font? even just a normal non-textured one?[/img][/url]

I didn't copy the previous logo. I took the specs given and did a logo. Reread the original post. The request was to create something as close to the origanal as possible.

Where's yours?

there's a reason i called it "The xA-Team" as in, "The A-Team" thought it was catchy and would be a nice touch to have the logo as a tribute to The A-Team.

otherwise i would've called it, "The xA Forum" or something similar. which i did think about

heres a few more I played around with. Not really sure what kind of "style" your going for, ie. clean, messy, or whatever...

And you really don't like the texture on the lettering? I think it gives it some depth.
