WIN A NEW BLOG and LOGO DESIGN! {Closed}

By admin | April 2, 2010

Hello All! :)

I have (after MUCH thought and advice from trusted advisers) decided to change the name of Designed by Lara. I will be doing a complete overhaul in the next few weeks…My ONLY problem is trying to figure out a name! LOL! THAT is where YOU come in….and can WIN!

A few things you should know BEFORE you enter…

1. I want a more general name…NOT with my name any longer. I want room to grow and possibly hire designers. I want it to have more of a company feel than a “one woman show” as a friend put it.

2. I do not want it to be too long of a name.

3. I want something catchy and brandable but NOT too cutsie.

4. I am *thinking* the word studio and/or design being in the name MIGHT be nice. HOWEVER I am TOTALLY open to any and all ideas! PLEASE help! LOL!

What do YOU get out of this?

If I pick YOUR idea, then you win a HUGE prize….BUT even if you do NOT get your name picked…you still WIN!!

What do you win??

The person with the winning idea that is available for me to purchase as a .com domain will receive a whole shebang blog design with a logo design as well. This includes LOTS of goodies…like….Value of Prize: $800 (Note: the ONLY thing you would have to cover is any istock images you want incorporated into the blog design)

But Wait! EVERYONE wins something!

Just for sharing your idea(s) you will get a FREE 125×125 button design! VALUE: $15-$25 The only thing you need to do is provide image if you want an image in the design.

If you SHARE the contest on TWITTER and/or your BLOG you will get the button AND a $10 credit to use whenever you want toward a purchase from our design shop! So, you can get up to $20 in credits if you do both a blog AND twitter post! :)

How AWESOME is that???

Note: If no ideas work for me, no grand prize will be given. However, I will still honor the button prize for each winner…just give me time to make them depending on how many enter…LOL! I will also still honor the credits.

    Well, I have to suggest something with a faith-inspired theme. What about?: Scarlet Thread Studio or Design (could be Scarlet Cord) – signifies Rahab’s faith and the Proverbs 31 woman’s work of her hands. =)

    Hey Lara,

    Here are a few that are available:

    LarasDesignCollaborations.com – I know you didn’t want your name necessarily, but I figure this sounds less one-woman show-y.

    ASplashOfCreativity.com

    DesignofYourDreams.com – read your bio, and you said you dream designs.

    Just a few suggestions!

    -Steph
