Eh.

I have no talent, but I do have boredom and an overabundance of time.

OZ: I would not try and compete with the brilliance that is yours. No one can, really. Made lighter.

 

>_>

I got bored and really sucked at making one.

 

Jon, good job; I was thinking of something like that too before I saw yours. Simple and clean are usually better (and better in keeping with "PatronusCharm")

Oz, just try that with a laptop mouse (unless you are using one, then that would explain it).

mbond98, as Oz says, change the text color. Move the font vertically so it isn't on the line. I would recommend experimenting with spacing. It seems too cluttered; you should leave some negative (i.e. blank) space.

Vash, very nice, although I still think Jon's is a little cleaner (what can I say, I'm a sucker for gradients). Love the font, and the crisp sharpness in keeping with the bold griffin. Have you experimented with horizontally reversing the griffin picture? It seems more fitting as the top left corner of a page that way. Also, double check your second image that will be repeated on the right. It seems to be a different color from the main logo, and there doesn't seem to be a gradient.

I am not staff, so I of course cannot vote.

 

Both Jon's and Vash's are good. I think a good idea when judging would be to see which goes best with the rest of the theme, and not just how they look by themselves.

Jon's:



Vash's:

 

Here's mine.



And I made a white one to just for the hell of it.

 

Raven, I was only referring to the fact that the second image looks off-color to the first It might just be my eyes. I really do love the griffin, although I suppose I am just a sucker for softer images and colors, but that's just my personal taste.

lucifer, the transition between the clouds and the crisscross pattern in the green one seems too abrupt. In the second, I think the lightning bolt can be positioned a little better. Other than that, it isn't too bad, although I don't know how well the WordArt like curve will fit with the rest of the theme.

 

Umm. Guys, I see a chimera, not a griffin.

 

Yeah I thought crossing went to the clouding to abruptly as well...but trust me it was worse then what it is now.

The second one I wasn't even going to leave the lightning bolt there but i forgot about it. As for the word art I don't really know why I did that.

EDIT:also in my opinion vash's logo look way better then jon's

 

I don't know... Vash's logo looks nice, but it doesn't seem to blend as well with the rest of the page as Jon's does.

 

The following four logos are variations based on DLP's logo.









As the background is black there is no need for a spacer or it is black itself.

The problem with this logo is that it doesn't look that good on widescreens:
DLP Theme with Logo

If it is possible to separate its two elements into two pics, displayed at each end of the head, as it is done with DLP, then it looks way better:
DLP Theme with Logo (2)

EDIT:
I looked for a font similar to the font used for the DLP-logo. I didn't found anything matching.

 

Yeah but that just the same as the original only different colors..I guess I just like how the chimera looks..even if it doesn't really have anything to do with the Patronus charm.

 

Of the four, I like the second the best, but I don't see an easy way to incorporate it into the header. By itself, the buck on the right cuts the logo off too abruptly. I think the best arrangement with this logo would be number 1 or 3, and move the buck to the other side as a separate image, with the buck lying below the left part of the logo. If min-width is also used (forget about IE6 or use expressions), it could look nice.

I'm sure someone is aught to have a chimera patronus. (oops, I was calling it a gryffin the entire time...)

In any case, everyone needs to remember that we need a place for the link menu at the top also. How would that fit in with the rest of the page and the logos?

 

I like the third and fourth banners best, separated.

 

Here's another one
