$30 Blog Logo and Header Contest
Posted by Jon Lee in Site stuff, tags: contest, logo, web-design
JonLee.ca has never really had a logo. Since the beginning, it’s been a line of text with the name of the blog. Since I don’t have much talent in the area of graphics design, I have decided to hold a design contest to find a new logo and header image.
The Contest
The goal of the contest is to design a new header image for my blog. The header should also contain a logo which can be used separately.
The winner of the contest (as judged by me) will receive $30 US via Paypal.
Design
The header should contain the words “Jon Lee” as well as some indication that it is a .ca domain (not necessarily “dot see eh”). Other words may include “web development blog”, “fun web development” etc.
It should also somehow be related to web development but not necessarily to ruby on rails as my favicon may suggest.
Color Scheme
There is no specific color scheme requirement. I’d like to keep the scheme I have right now but if something looks really good I wouldn’t mind changing the rest of the site to go with it.
Technical Notes
- If the logo is incorporated into the header, I would like the logo as a separate file.
- I will require the “source” file (e.g. the .psd file if made in Photoshop)
- Vector format if possible (or at least a high DPI)
- Transparent background
End Date
I am going to set the end date of this contest to be a month from now although this could be subject to change if nothing suitable has been selected.
On a side note, make sure you’ve entered my world’s smallest MicroSD reader giveaway since it ends in a few days!

Nice idea for a contest. I was thinking about doing the same, but not for my blog. I want a logo for my freelance writing business so that I can finally get some business cards done. I don’t have the source for my current logo.
Wow.. this is real interesting. I am sure I’ll like to get my hands into this type of contest. This is surely within my scope of work which is advertising. I will surely come back with good news. Keep in touch Jon!
Hi,
I see you are running a contest. You might want to visit the blog on my link. You can submit your contest for free, in your own words by visiting the link. I am actually advertising with Adwords so you should get decent traffic from this initiative, plus a link to your blog!
thanks,
C Fernandes
I look forward to seeing your entry!
I’ve submitted a few contests to you before, great site!
Will you post all the headers b4 you choose 1?
I can certainly do that if the designers don’t mind. I’l include a link back to all those who participated.

It’s a very good idea to keep a contest like this Jon. I would like to participate, but before that let me rack my brains and try and get a good design.
Size of the logo and header? (ex 700px x 150px)
