Hey Ares!
I LIKE IT! But why don't you dazzle us with some ideas for a logo for this site? I have set up my FaunaClassifieds site to accept banner ads and I'll bet a lot of those folks would like a talented designer to make up their banners for them. So give me some examples and I'll point them your way.
I don't have plans on accepting ads for this site for a while, but when I do, I will definitely keep you in mind for the banners.
If you don't mind me asking, what graphics package are you using? It't the computer geek in me showing through......
Thanks.
Heck. You know, I should hold some sort of contest for the CornSnakes.com logo. Anyone interested in doing that? Ares does have a pretty good head start, but maybe there are other talented folk out there that would like to strut their stuff.
Guess I need to be thinking about a prize, now don't I?
Anyway, let me know what you think of this idea.

I'm game...
But with my schedule, I'd need a few weeks to get something substantial (and of any decent quality) done. I don't even have any ideas yet, but I think I have plenty of my own pics to work with.
Prize? Hmm... does that include shipping? ;-)

Cornsnakes.com Logo
hey rich,
this is cory...the guy in Va. Beach that you just sent the two corns to on Wednesday. I'd love to work on a logo for the site. Just let me know some guidelines, and I think a little contest would be great! I'm workin' between a G4 and a Sage Imac with Quark/In-Design/Pagemaker for layout, and Photoshop/Illustrator for image design. Just some generals.
Let us know.

Guidelines? Guidelines? We don't need no steekin' guidelines!!
Sorry, couldn't help myself............
Actually I have no idea about what to suggest. I don't even know what I am looking for myself, so I certainly couldn't tell you all what to strive for. Something eye catching but not overpowering. Something you will remember and not hate the look of after seeing it 1000 times. Something subtle and classy and certainly not brash. Animated is OK, but not necessary.
I guess it's like when someone asks me at a gun show what I'm looking for. I don't know, but I'll know it when I see it.
Size should be approximately that of the photo at the top of the page right now, but can be slightly larger and have slightly different dimensions. This can be a little flexible. Some designs may not work when constrained so. Try not to create an image that has a huge file size, because the one selected will have to be loaded each time this site is viewed, and someone using a slow modem might get frustrated waiting for a large file to load and will just leave.
Maybe I need to post this generally so more people can enter. Or would you all rather keep the competition down and keep this to people whom log into this site and find out about it here?
How about a deadline for submissions of July 1, 2002? Is that enough time for everyone? Anything later will start to infringe on the egg hatching season, and I'll probably just be a memory around here at that time of year.
On the day of the deadline date, I will set up a message showing ALL the submissions and set up a poll so people can vote on the one they like the best. I need to play around with the poll software here anyway. But bear in mind that the final judge (me!) may not agree with the majority and is only asking opinions. A decision will be made on July 21 (my birthday) of whom the winner of the competition is.
As for a prize, how about a pair (1 male and 1 female) of Lavender corns to the winner? Is that incentive enough? And yes Serpwidgets, I will pay for shipping. BUT, and this may be important, I can only ship within the continental U.S.A.! I do not have, nor intend to get anytime soon, the permit necessary to ship outside of the country. So please bear that in mind.
Oh one other thing. If I get some really nice submissions, I might possibly be interested in new logos for my other sites as well. Since I've gotten out of the milk snakes, I really should change that graphic on my SerpenCo.com site.
OK, good luck to everyone.

Cool!
Wow, that's an excellent prize. I'll enjoy making whatever it is I come up with, whether or not I win, but that's certainly a great incentive.
BTW, for the graphics people using a gazillion dollars worth of software: I'm no graphics pro, I use old and cheap stuff... My rendering software is Truspace2, and I use a 5-year-old version of Paint Shop Pro for image editing. (Photoshop is about 5 levels of "artistic" beyond my poor excuse for talents... if I used it, I'd probably make things worse, hehe)

Logo Contest
Wow, fellers! What a wonderful idea! I won't be in the competition, since I don't have any graphics software, but I am certainly in favor of such a contest. May the best designer win!
Y'all better get ta movin'.
And Rich,,, What a wonderful incentive prize! On behalf of the winner, I thank you for being generous. I also like the 'forum poll' idea, even though you will be having the last word.

No......the prize is too tempting..... I want to try and get the prize.....but then Rich said that he wouldn't ship it to people outside of the US... so I guess there is no point for me to join....
but still I'll try and see if I have time to try and join the Logo Contest! Have Fun!

For anyone in Canada - so long as the snakes appear healthy (which of course goes without saying from Serpenco) you can bring them across the border.
If you live close enough and have family/friends in the US, you could simply have the prize (or an order) shipped there and pick it up.

Patty does make a good point. I have shipped to hotels on the south side of the border where the customer picked up the package there and then took it home across the border when he got it. Once you take possession of the animals inside the U.S.A., they are now your personal property.
And, if I might suggest, if ANYONE needs a good excuse to go to the Daytona Beach Expo in August, what better one could you come up with? People come from all of the world to that show. We have people whom bring their own interpreters so they can ask questions about our snakes they are buying. If there is one herp show in the world to go to, this is the one. If you have been to any herp show at all, multiply it by 100 and you'll get a close idea of what the Daytona Beach show is like. Wayne Hill is supposed to have over 600 tables at that show this year. I would have to be seriously ill before I would miss that one myself.

WOW look what Ares started!
What a great idea. Don't know if I'm in on the building part , but will love to follow and vote. So Rich, would you hold all the final "products" graphics and display them after the dead line or put them up as they come in? This is too cool!! Sam~~~~:~

My only problem with the Daytona show is that Florida is just about the single most expensive place to fly to in the continental US. I do need to see that, though... one of these years I'm going to end up flying to Atlanta and renting a car to drive the rest of the way... or something... anything.

Yes I know that it is possible to ship to the US and then bring it over.....but the problem is.....I don't know anyone living in the US and I don't live near the borders either.........
But then as for the Daytona Beach. I might try and go to that one.....but then I am taking summer school for graudate studies.....so I don't know if I am able to make it. I was going to go with Kathy Loves last summer but then because there was no flight to Florida before that date.....so I couldn't make it.....

Where in Canada?
I dunno too much about the specific geography of Canada, but my mom has a resort up by Ear Falls, and goes through Dryden on her way up there every spring. She's currently in town and--assuming customs wouldn't give her a hard time--I could probably convince her to bring it/them up that way if you could meet her somewhere along the way to pick them up. (She thinks they are little cuties just like I do, so it's not like I'd have to convince her to travel with an "icky" snake or anything...)

Hey Serpwidgets
are you sure about your mom helping me bring a snake to Canada?
If you are serious about this, I might start ordering some from Rich right now and ask him to send it to your house or something if it's possible!
I am in Ontario Canada right now. I can go to Toronto or something near that area to meet your mom if it's okay for you.
Thanks so much!!!!!
