[Competition] Design a Splash Image for EliteSwitch.

Hey guys,
I've designing a program (again). It's a runescape client and i need a splash image for the loading screen. So i thought i'd hold a competition just for a little bit of fun.
The winner gets their splash used in my program, a mention in the credits of the program (and a link if you want it) and also a small write up and a link on the website.

Competition Close Date: Monday 21st of March 2011

Requirements
Width: 500
Height: 150
Border: Yes, white 2 pixel
Colour scheme: Blue & black
Text: EliteSwitch
Other: Text must have a 1 - 3 pixel black stroke effect added to it.

What you win:
Link on my program & your name in the credits.
Link & a small write up on my site.
Possibly some RSGP and / or $$$, only IF people donate for this.

Example:
Here is an example of a similar picture i used in the past (obviously it's a different size)

Try and achieve around that colour blue as well please, although it's not necassary.
Please save your .psd as it will be required if you win. As i may need to tweak your image to suit the application. (Don't worry you will still be getting all the credits for it)

Thanks.

NOTE
If you would like to donate some RSGP or $$$ for the winner, please post in this thread or pm me.

 

When is our submission due? :O

 

I'm in

 

preferably, monday.
But if you need more time, that's cool.

 

Alright, i'll make an attempt.

 

Here are my two attempts. Im only making two since i liked the second one alot. Im willing to make a new one or change these, if you like them. If not, then oh well.

v1:


v2:


I liked v2 more even though i kinda screwed up on the color of which text was supposed to be blue...

 

Nice!
I like em
Did you remember to keep the .PSD as i may need to tweak it to suit the program if you are the winnar.

 

Gimme opinions, I'll change it untill it's 100% to your likings ^^!

V2, felt like makeing it a bit lighter

 

hey, i've tried



any changes please reply

 

Kinaesthic just inspired me to make a new one.

And yeah i kept the .psd
Ill make a new one by the end of tonight, im determined to win ;P

 

Currently, I think they're all sweet. But I like Epicgodly's V2 background, and kinaesthic's V2 text.

Currently can't see deathlyy's attempt, as there is no image appearing.

If it asks for a password, the password is EliteSwitch.

I made 6 more versions, basically all look the same, just with different effects on them. Thats all im doing for now. Along with my other two, they are my entries

 

Find it rather amusing to take the wing idea from me.. Hah.

 

I said you inspired me to make a new. I thought that would give you credit for the whole image itself. I didn't mean to claim it as mine. Sorry if it seemed that way.

 

V4 I believe is the nicest out of the selection.

 

Alright. Thanks for the criticism.

 

im in too ;p

 

1 more day if any new users want to enter....

 

Ill try once i get home/

 

I'll throw in a mil to the winner, maybe more if I can afford to.
