Brief Summary

We need a banner design created using our logo for an upcoming seminar. We do not want our logo changed but any types of background and full color is permitted. The use of business/wealth quotes is good. We do not want the dates of the seminar on the banner but it can say "3 Day Event"

Our logo can be found here: http://www.keithwellman.com/gateway_jpg_grey_text.jpg

The 2 people putting on the event are Keith Wellman and Gary Ambrose. The image must be scaled up to fit on a banner that is 83.35" high x 31.5" wide

    Just found a good quote that would go well on the banner:

    "You always pass failure on the way to success" by Mickey Rooney

    Feel free to include it in the design.

    I really like that one :)

    does this banner need to be in a horizontal or vertical format?

    Based on the requirements you specified (300 dpi) a PSD file would be extremely huge to transfer, is it ok to submit in EPS or AI format also or is it strictly PSD format allowed

    Also, because of the size of the banner, the jpg file of your logo will not be even close to large enough and won't print well. Do you have a vector EPS file? Thanks.

    It's all good -- I can redraw your logo. The typeface looks to be Avant Garde. A PDF would be best for final product, though, if that works for you.

    An EPS, SVG, or PDF of the logo would be especially helpful. The JPG you provided will be about 1 inch tall at 300 dpi.

    Will you be providing a 300dpi image of the logo? It's kind of useless right now.

    300 dpi is overkill for a banner of this size, but no matter the dpi we are going to need a vector of the logo to size it properly. I also agree with Methodologi that a PSD is going to be extremely huge. A TIFF image will print just fine in this case if AI or EPS can't be used.

    TIFF Or EPS is fine. I do not have a scaled up image. It is a vertical banner. I don't know the font.

    I just identified the font to match Century Gothic Std Bold exactly. Hope that helps everybody.

    (It's very close to Avant Garde.)

    I'll be vectorizing the logo into an EPS once I get back from an event later this evening, so that the winner may use it. :)

    Here's an EPS of the logo: http://potato.ianweller.org/gateway-to-wealth.eps

    It's a rough estimate of the curves and kerns, but I think it works just fine.

    or can i send a PSD file but on 72 dpi only, but theres no problem if you are going to increase the resolution to 300 dpi, there will be no problem cause all of the layer are vector base.

    can i send my entry on that way?
