Modern Webspace, Inc.

Tagline: Sensible Internet Solutions Desired Color Scheme: Colors in my logo (see description) Desired Style: Retro Modern meets Web 2.0, Googie, The Jetsons, mid-century modern Accepted File Formats: PSD or XCF (gimp) and $25 bonus for PNG assets I'm just starting an internet consulting business and I need a website. I'm strong on the coding side (both HTML and back-end systems), but weak on the design side. I've started and thrown away 5 or 6 designs of my own. So I need your help. My company name is Modern Webspace, Inc. I have a logo and a good idea of what I want my site to look like. I want the theme to be 'modern' in the retro sense. So we're looking for a futuristic website that you would have seen in the 50's and 60's. Like what you would see in 'The Jetsons' cartoons or at a 1960's World's Fair. Googie architecture (i.e. the Space Needle in Seattle) is one of my favorite styles. (added 1/25)I also want it to have a web 2.0 look. Think 'web 2.0 meets retro-modern'. The retro element should be a strong part of the design, though. The current print & TV ad campaign by Comcast has the style that I'm looking for. (Unfortunately, their website doesn't have this look. In fact, their website is downright ugly.) A little cheesy is OK, but it must still come across as professional. You must provide a fully layered PSD or XCF file. I'll code the xhtml/css and jazz it up with a little ajax. $25 bonus paid if you provide web-ready assets in PNG format (transparent where appropriate). Other bonuses may be paid at my discretion. Here's my logo: (added 1/23)It is based on a font called Klinkomite. The color values are: #ff6600 - Orange #99ccff - Baby blue #ff99cc - Pink #f0d02f - Gold #adc54e - Olive #000000 - Black (added 1/23) Don't feel like you have to use all of those colors. In fact, it's probably better if you don't. They are provided as a reference so that you can use them it you want to. (added on 1/23) Please ignore my current website. I'm not a webhost. That's the default website put up by my webhost when I signed up for an account. (added 1/23)Here's a rough outline of the the layout I'm looking for: A second place design will also be chosen and will be awarded $75. In order to be paid, you must be willing to give exclusive world-wide rights (including resale rights) to all elements of the design to Modern Webspace.
