I am launching a new software program called RhymeIt, a rhyming dictionary for Windows. I need a logo and icon for the program. Here are the details: 1) Logo - logo for software product "RhymeIt" a Rhyming Dictionary software program - logo should include the product title "RhymeIt" - should be clean design with a white/transparent background - it is a Windows product, so something in the Windows XP style and color-scheme would look good. However, feel free to use whatever colors, design, style or style you think is appropriate and looks best. - It is a dictionary that will be used by songwriters and poets (artistic types) to help them find word rhymes. Since it is a dictionary, maybe it should have an authoritative and professional feel? Much like an encyclopedia or the covers you see on paper/book dictionaries. Some suggestions for "objects" to include might be books or words (but other idea are welcome, don't limit yourself!). - use whatever graphics program you want (AI, Photoshop, Corel, etc.), final delivery will include the original native format so that I can make changes or save to different resolutions if needed 2) Icon - in addition to the logo, I also need a program icon (what the user will see on their Windows desktop or in the Start menu). It should look as much as possible like the logo, but it has to be scaled much smaller, such as 16x16 pixels. Due to the size, any text in the logo will probably have to be removed, leaving just the major design elements. - delivery will also include a .ICO format file of the icon with 48x48, 32x32, 16x16 sizes, each in 32bit color depth (Windows XP format with semi-transparency) and 8bit (256 colors) In summary, you will provide a full size logo AND an icon version that can be scaled to very small sizes. The images will be delivered in original AI/Corel vector format, and I will own all rights to the design. To give me an idea of your design work please provide a link to your portfolio. If you have some ideas for the logo, a mockup would be even better. I can provide the winning bidder with an alpha version of the RhymeIt program if that would help give you a better idea about the program. I can also provide screenshots. I am not in a rush to get this job done. So, if you can offer any discount for a lower-priority job I would be very interested in that. I am single person operation with a small budget, so any way to keep costs down would be helpful. However, I want a quality logo and I am willing to pay a fair price for a good quality design and professional service. I've tried my best to anticipate your questions and make my requirements clear, but if you need more information or clarifications on anything please ask in the private message board.
