SS Competition Results
I am looking to get a new main logo/banner for speedsolving.com (the one that will be used at the top of every page of the site).

The size needs to be roughly [450-650]px x [90-100]px, but not strictly that size. If it has a transparent background, that would be preferred, but not completely necessary. If you can integrate this "SS" cube into it, that would be a bonus.

I'd also like a holidays banner for it as well, similar to how it was changed here, but we can always have that built with the person who makes the main design.

Depending on the number of quality entries, we can do a poll to choose the final design.

Thanks.
 
just a simple idea ...
dont know if it is viable, anyway here it is:

thats really good but on the cube yellow and green look a little different to me unless its my monitor
 
That looks very cool but the edges of everything look rough. I'm no graphic design pro so I could be wrong but isn't there a way to soften it?

thanks, I'm not a graphic design pro either, but I think they can be softened ...
I'm gonna try.

The design was made with Sketchup, so it is really a 3D drawing, if anyone is interested I can share the sketchup file so that anybody can modify it and try his own variation ...

Yes, you're right, the problem is I'm a bit color blind so it's difficult for me to make good choices with colors but I can easily change them.

It would look really nice if it can be softened. Also could you change it to "Speedsolving the Rubik's Cube and Other Puzzles"?
 
Update:

1: changed green and orange
2: added "the"
3: softened edges, at least I hope so; is it better ?

Sweet I can try making one :]

So it just needs to say Speedsolving.com and Speedsolving the Rubik's cube and other puzzles? I don't want to mess up on the text or anything :|
 
If anyone is interested
here's the sketchup file of my idea ...
(feel free to modify it)

If you don't know sketchup
you may download it here, it's really simple to use
and it's really fun to draw 3D stuff.

The result may improve a lot after rendering
but I never used a render ... (might give it a try now).

guzman.

I think you can also change what it says ... not sure
