dont take it as insulting constuctive . i cant make one at all i have no creative ability. no artistic ability either.i failed grade 7 9 10 art

Can I give a tip?

All the banners are not realy good or are realy fixed in some kind of scheme. Outlined banners, like posted, where the whole picture/logo is encapsulated or needs to be encapsulated in a certain rectangle or colorscheme to make them look "good" is very limiting to the overall design of the site.

In other words, don't make such things, rather make real logo's/banners which work on any background and are not limited to any rectangular shape and/or fixed colors.

For example, the logos from Absorbation:

are much better then all the rest because they give freedom to the user/requestor regarding background and overal site scheme and context. All the others are just fixed banners which will not work in the grand scheme of any site...

Another example, take a look at the Plus! logo, this isn't fixed to any shaped and colored background. You can use the logo and name on any background and almost on any site scheme. Those are the real and decent logo's. All the rest may look good on there own and as stand alone banners but don't give any freedom to the rest of the site and thus the main purpose of a site logo/banner...

To pick an example among the logo's (no offense to the creator, I could've picked any other one):

It looks good on it's own, but if the site doesn't have a continuing background like that, it will look extremely ugly. And if such a background is used, the background will be much too heavy, again looking ugly...

Also, the disc is a nice idea. But a logo is useually put on top and centered (or left) on a site. This means that the disc is cropped if you place it on a homepage, making it ugly again. Such things need to be taken in account if you design a logo...

It must look good on (almost) any background and in any position you place it...

now all this said, I'm not going to design one this time just wanted to say some pointers

thats a very good point Cookie, especially as I have started a site design yet and I'm going to be basing it around the logo design

Heres another try.. with my Logo Wannabe

Dempsey can you tell us which one you currently like the most? So Maybe I can improve it or something

Yeah, I'd really like to see whose logos you'd prefer, perhaps you should make a poll, and let people choose which logo they think that you should use. .
