    Hey,

    I'm currently creating an X Factor themed site (X Factor is a TV singing competition, shown in a few countries, I believe it's hitting US next year), and I was wondering if any kind souls would be interested in making me a banner for it?

    The questions:

    1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
    The only text I need is "X Factor Online", or if you want to add the url, it's xfactoronline.net

    2) What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
    X Factor Online - the name is X Factor Online. (The site is still under construction!)

    3) Description of your website:
    An X Factor-related blog, running on Wordpress.

    4) Have you found any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
    the style you are looking for?

    The Official X Factor logo, and the set of the TV show, follow a black and red theme - ideally, I'd like any banner to follow the same general theme.

    5) Requested size of your logo:
    It will just be used for a banner on the website - somewhere around 720x90 would be great, but I can work around any other size you create.

    6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    I'd like an image of the judges from the UK show to be incorporated into the banner. I've linked below to the Google Image search results for both of these, as there are many different results - it's completely up to you which you think looks best:
    The Judges

    7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?
    Text and image - I would like the images I've stated above, and the text I've stated in question 1 please.

    8)
    What colors do you want to see in your logo?
    Ideally, black and red - but if you have some nice ideas, I'm flexible.

    9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
    None - like I said, I can be flexible.

    10) Describe the target audience for your logo
    Viewers of the X Factor, who are generally female, around 12-30, although there is a mixture of genders and all age groups. Colourful and eye-catching would be good.

    11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
    1. The theme of my website
    2. The "fun" element of X Factor
    3. Colourful/eye-catching

    12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
    Just the website, it won't be used anywhere else.

    13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
    I think that's everything - if you have any questions, let me know.

    I'd just like to point out that I really appreciate the great work that you guys do.

    If anyone who creates a banner for me would like me to add a link on my website to one of theirs, crediting them for their work, I'd be more than happy to do so.

    Hi gandalph;

    A big sticking point to this would be the 'X-Factor' is a trademark design (although not the wording) but the style is

    Any logo similar in style would be a breach of this, unless you have written permission to use?

    So if you are looking for something similar, sorry think you will be out of luck

    Hey,

    Thanks for your response, I appreciate you getting back to me quickly.

    I've amended my request to take out the copyrighted X Factor Logo - I've left the judges in the request, I don't think that would be a copyright problem, but if it is then let me know.

    Again, many thanks for your response.
