SKIPPI FOR THE WIN!!!!

He deserves a GTX285 just for the comedy value.

I love you man.

Chewwie, that last one is awesome. My new favourite.

Katie, can you do a 800x600 mockup of the forum and shop front in white?

smogsy · 2 May 2009 at 13:31

AFter all the work people have put into this thread I think anything less than a GTX295 would be an insult to be honest... the results are professional and should be rewarded thus!

Creative agencies charge thousands for such things as logo creation and brand awareness. OCUK are getting a steal - a whole top end machine would still be pocket money for this kind of rebranding.

Personally I think the GTX285 is a perfectly fine reward for this competition.

Kol · 2 May 2009 at 13:40

I'm not doubting that, I'm just letting people know the market value of such work. It's a very profitable business!

As do I.

3 would be even better though.

I wouldn't know what to do with a GTX 285, would probably sell it to be honest, as with my current PC setup it makes no sense

I dunno either.

I need a new GFX card so it would come in very handy, but on the other hand, I'm 100% broke so the cash from selling it could be 10x as handy.

Its not over yet

I like Katie's designs, the suttle speedo is good but for me its not a bold enough statement. Nice work though.

Well if no one want's it...

Photoshop CS4's finally using gfx acceleration, so it's suddenly become very handy!

skippi90 - re mockups, of course (am just painting some cupboards at the moment, will do something later). Have already mocked up the one I've shown (that was 1024x768 and I've downsized to not annoy folk in the forum).

Can quickly mock up the forum too if other folk'd find that interesting?

I wish I had more time to sink into this, however I maintain there are some really nice works here. I feel sorry for the individual that has to make the decision! I will not be relating any personal favourites though as I feel that is bad form before time. Just my take, don't whip me

Spie to pick the winner...we should vote on a second and third prize!

Hi Katie, excellent entry, when the competition is over would you be able to go through how you went about creating those logo (not the businessy stuff), what software you used etc...

Thanks

Software most probably used, which i used aswell.

Adobe Illustrator, look up some tutorials it all paths and shapes so it takes a while to get into.

Naster · 2 May 2009 at 14:13

If you are good enough you can use the windows paint to make one and make a vector after.

I am using Illustrator as well but Corel is much easier for me.

Love this. However, the font in the 'OcUK' versions of the logo doesn't quite sit right. Not sure what it is so can't really suggest a 'fix' - perhaps you could play with it.

I think the top logo is spot on - certainly my favourite. Well done. :cool:
