Topic: [CLOSED] Graphics for NEW Bitcoin Social Network - page 2. (Read 2443 times)

I will produce a work for this bounty, though I can only promise the logo for now.
The rest of the graphics will be created if it is chosen, of course.

Preferably by the end of next week for the initial graphics. I would especially like to have the Facebook Cover ASAP, so I can start preparing the marketing for that page.


looking forward to seeing your work dpcman

I completely understand. However, this is a new frontier for me and the bounty system seems to work for others in this community, so I figured I'd give it a try.  Worst case, I knew I could always fall-back to my oDesk contractors.  But, so far I think the feedback has pretty good, so I'm glad I went this route. I really can't promise anything, but I feel that I am pretty fair in these sorts of situations and any contributions that you make would be compensated accordingly.

The community of Bitcoin-friendly graphic designers doesn't seem to be all that vast, so I don't see why the work that lies ahead can't be spread around to compliment each one's strengths. I envision having 2 or 3 full-time staffers to contribute to developing the platform as well as supporting the individual developers and their venues. As well as a directory for others in need of bitcoin-friendly talent for their own projects.


You're absolutely right. I was just thinking short-sighted of the final format, but vectors ARE the better format (especially for their scalability). I really hate how clueless I am when it comes to graphic design.


Thanks Timbo! I know you're super busy now, so I want you to know how much I appreciate it.

Now that the graphics have gotten underway, I plan to focus 100% on completing the Developer's Center and the basic API for the platform. Its quite exciting how much great feedback I've gotten from the few developers I've contacted, but I'm very content on taking baby steps to see things through.  Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions and share your works-in-progress. As I said, I'll do my very best to be fair to all.

Thanks everyone,
Cheers!

Hmm, I'll have a swing at this 

I'll get started right away. Do you have a time limit for this?

Hey nyusternie,

I'm a graphic designer and would love to take on this project, however time is money so I usually only take on projects that are guaranteed to pay. If you are interested please visit my signature link and if you like my work drop me a line, I have a degree in graphic design/advertising to back my work. Also, you should require the logo be a vector file (.ai) even if you receive it in a different format. Having something that you can scale to any size and easily alter colors with is super useful. Anyway, good luck with your bitcoin social network!

Had some time so made something to simple but clean.
Used to V to make a landscape in the background. Used friendly colors for a good feeling to the logo.

BTC Village Needs A Creative Touch
https://www.btcvillage.nl/

BACKGROUND:
I've been following Bitcoin for a few years now, checking in from time to time to see how well the technology is progressing. I've been off assignment since November and have been devoting the majority of my free time into delving deeper into this rabbit hole. Honestly, most of what I've seen has been ugly (very, very ugly), but every now and then I see a promise of salvation that keeps me digging deeper. I'm starting to feel like I'm running out of air and that its time to call for support.

PURPOSE:
To build a platform that Bitcoin developers can leverage for their individual goals, dreams, what have you. The platform will hopefully resolve the majority of the technical difficulties that come with building and operating a successful Bitcoin-based business (ie. security, reliability, scalability, customer service, etc).

SCOPE OF WORK:
I would normally use services like oDesk for my outsourcing work, however, considering the nature of this project, I am determined to build a team of Bitcoin-friendly contractors.  Currently, I'm in need of graphic designers who can help in creating an identity for this project.  Initially, I am looking for:

• Logo / Icon (256px by 256px)
• Facebook Cover (851px by 315px)
• Background Image (1600px by 1200px)

From this forum, I've discovered 2 quality designers TimboDesign and BIGMERVE who appear to be more than capable of handling this task.  However, I was inspired by this post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/done-2-btc-logo-for-trezor-bitcoin-hardware-wallet-137747 to offer a bounty for this request. I'd like to offer anyone with graphic design experience to contribute to this project. At the moment, I will commit 5 BTC to this task, however, this is VERY flexible and I would be more than willing to split and/or increase the bounty based on the response received.

Some Basic Rules:

• submissions must be posted to this thread before Friday, February 1st 00:00 EST
• submissions must contain a link to a PNG (preferred) and/or a high resolution JPEG
• we reserve the right not to pick any submission
• we reserve the right to edit the chosen submission to fit our needs
• by participating in the bounty you agree that you waive all your rights related to the design and that we can use it for our product (we will be fair if your ideas are incorporated by not wholly selected)

Some Additional Info:
The brand should obviously emphasize social (friends, community and enjoyment). We'd like to use the Bitcoin icon with the "double" lines BTC in ALL graphics. Take a look at some of the graphics we have now (taken from http://carbonism.deviantart.com/gallery/) for some ideas. You can also visit our Facebook Page at BTC Village (FYI - we're just short of the 25 likes we need to create a custom url).

Thank you for your time and effort!
Cheers!
