Title: Photo contest Theme
Post by: lazylivin on November 06, 2009, 22:24:43
I am betting that there are some Ohio Reef members out there who are really talented graphics artist. Wouldn't it be neat for our next photo contest theme to create a new Ohio Reef logo for the home page. The current one is nice and it could also be added to the contest voting. If there is interest we could sign up with one of those sites that allow us to order apparel, trinkets and trash with the new Ohio Reef logo. What do you guys think?

Someone created this for our flag swap flyer and I photochopped it on this picture  :D

I was thinking the some thing recently. I think our Banner could use some updating. Cant wait to see what all our Artsy Fartsy MAC users with all their graphic design software can do  :laugh:

EDIT: I guess I should have read what Lazy posted, the title of this thread and what everyone has said in this thread :) I ideas where supposed to be for the contest... Consider these early entrys :)

I like this one, but don't have the license to the picture yet

My favorite -- Even better if SMF has an orange theme

A play on Lazy's Idea

Whatta guys think? BTW, all but the first are licensed under CC and are used in accordance of their licenses. The first one I found from someone's Deviantart and am looking into finding the artist to ask for permission.

Okay, time for bed....
