Need a Pig Logo...

[sknaub]

I am looking for a computer graphics artist to create a logo for the Safe Harbour Pig Refuge.

We have toyed with the idea of a pig floating on a raft or in a life ring in a harbor with a light house in the background.

Is this the place to find someone interested in helping us create our logo? I love Xara X and use it for basic graphics, but my art skills are best classified as "neanderthal".

Since we are a non-profit organization and feeding 150 pigs per day, we don't have much money to spend on things that the pigs can't eat. But if you create a logo for us we can invite you to visit the refuge and hug a pig! :-)

Thanks for your consideration of this request!

Maybe you could pay us in bacon and baby back ribs? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Nah, I guess that would be defeating your charter, huh?

What form do you need the logo in, or I guess, what uses do you need it for? Web? Paper? Ads? Etc.

Whipped this up quickly in CorelDRAW using that awesome PowerClip feature. I am a designer, not an artiste, so this is my humble offering...

We try to use Xara in this conference FM :-)

Seems we were both pursuing the same idea, only you had a head start.

I realize what forum this is. He asked for a logo, and did not mention that it was program-specific, i.e., Xara, did he? Maybe I missed something...

Both of these logo ideas are wonderful!

I would prefer to have the logo in Xara X so I can make small changes to it as needed.

We would want to be able to use this for Web and print. Once we settle on a logo, it would be nice to get the XAR file so I can output it as needed.

I will show both of these logo ideas to Safe Harbour's founder to get her opinion.

Thanks for the fabulous response!

Did not realize you needed a Xara-specific file. In that regard, I withdraw my submission as I made it with that "other" program.

Absolutely fabulously cute pig! (you have drawn). [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Thanks Roman.

I used Xara's killer Bevel Tool for most of it. Maybe some day the other application will have a bevel capability that is not one dog's breakfast of facets. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

If your boss likes my design, I can improve upon the pig and donate the design to a worthy cause.
