NO ONE MAKES THIS GUY ANYTHING..... I spent two hrs yesterday helping him out at night, made about 20 revisions, revisions that aren't that easy to fix, just for a little lighter shade of blue, then he just goes and makes his own..... And if someone makes something he likes, he will tell you to fix it so many times, and then afterwards, just take your idea and make it himself..... Now I am not trying to trash talk you, but your just a little 14 yr old punk who wants something for nothin..... I wouldn't be surprised if you don't even have the $5 in the paypal account.



I made him exactly what he wanted, then he says, you know what, I don't like this theme, I think I'm gonna take the orange letters instead. Then he's like your motion blur should be guassian, not motion. Finally making these, he's like no it doesn't "look spiffy" wtf?!?!


Now he likes NeO's ok, np, it's a great logo, the site doesn't deserve it, but now he's like I like that one the more I look at, then he's gonna like someone elses when he see's it, make an agreement w/ an individual, then let them do it for you.


After he said he liked mine he's like "now beat the competition"..... WHY?!?! I offered my service, I did as you asked, why should I have to beat any competition.....


Make mine look spiffier?!?! There is no way to make blue letters and orange glow any spiffier.....



I just don't like the mentality of these people, they think if they offer you $5 to pay for lunch, they got you by the nuts.....

I told you what I wanted in the thread, you went off and gave me something freakin' black and white. No offense, but the logos that you produced were pure crap. They were starting to get a little better.

And if someone makes something he likes, he will tell you to fix it so many times, and then afterwards, just take your idea and make it himself..... Now I am not trying to trash talk you, but your just a little 14 yr old punk who wants something for nothin..... I wouldn't be surprised if you don't even have the $5 in the paypal account.
Bull. I told you what I wanted and you couldn't seem to follow directions. And I fully intend to pay the person $5 who's logo I like best, even if I don't use it. Seeing how you didn't even submit the logo you made, that was somewhat appealing. Plus, you don't even have Paypal, if you made somewhat of a decent logo, I might have sent it out by USPS, but your logos weren't what I was looking for. Like someone said, "Whatever floats your boat, just stay the hell out of my lake."

I made him exactly what he wanted, then he says, you know what, I don't like this theme, I think I'm gonna take the orange letters instead. Then he's like your motion blur should be guassian, not motion. Finally making these, he's like no it doesn't "look spiffy" wtf?!?!
Once again, I told you I wanted it to be appealing. Yours were bold letters that looked like they were done in MS Paint.

After he said he liked mine he's like "now beat the competition"..... WHY?!?! I offered my service, I did as you asked, why should I have to beat any competition.....
I didn't say that I would pick yours just because you got more directions and advice.

And to ne0, you're more or likely going to win. So, could you please make the background of the image #CCCBCA instead of the pale orange type color it is now?

I can't believe that ANYONE would bother to go through all that crap for a lousy $5! At my going billable rate where I work, that would get you about 5 minutes of my time :)

Seriously, I can get the $5 from Paypal myself just for signing up. Why on Earth did you think that you would get a quality piece of artwork at the price you were offering?!?
 

1. You wouldn't have a chance with me in it already, and
Quite the big head. Lets see a portfolio.

I made a logo to your height / width specifications, but it was way too small so I made this: Tech Freak
Making you look bad Maul.

I wasn't looking for a quality piece of artwork. You just should have seen what Casiotech was doing. What I want should take less than 2 minutes. See that, that is all I wanted you guys to do with perhaps a little bit more blur. Like I said before, I was looking for something that I know many of you are capable of whipping out in less than a minute.

I'm not asking for a huge or complex logo. Just text with a mist around the letters. Ne0 went above and beyond and make his logo look very nice. And compared to what Casio did (which was not much), it's practically a masterpiece.

I have no interest in getting involved in this heated dispute :D However, what some of you guys dont realize is that its not all about the money, it's about helping out another ATOT'er. I've done many logos for way under my usual price, I've even done some free ones for people that I know well from here. Favors can be done. It's not unheard of. Lighten up, guys.

Here is what Casio is complaining about, I'll just show his logos in order from start to last. It looks like he didn't even read the thread.

2 <-- this one wasn't too bad, I just told him to take off the blue circle and make that kind of like a mist in the background and did not bother listening to what I was saying and went along and made another one

Last one

I think his 2nd one was his best attempt at it.

He fixed his mistake in #3 though.. But as for the attempts, #2 isn't bad.

it's a geocities site. You have to drag and drop the images to load them, as with any linkage to a GeoCities pic.

MrCodeDude87: transparent filling
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: so

LaLaLaLaMagicMan: and the letters will be the same font
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: just with white filling
MrCodeDude87: the same font as your previous one?
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: yes
MrCodeDude87: I don't like how the font is so plain.. it just looks like
arial
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: no it's boulder
MrCodeDude87: spiffy font, like the one that is on the site :)
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: i'll see what I have
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: http://www.allbrevard.net/

LaLaLaLaMagicMan: it's ok?
MrCodeDude87: if you make the image look good.
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: k

blue, let me leave them just blue and u take a look at it
MrCodeDude87: alright
LaLaLaLaMagicMan:
www.geocities.com/casiotech99/techfreaksrevisedcopycopy.jpg
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: I really think it looks good like this
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: ?
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: so you like it or not
MrCodeDude87: not really.. I'm trying to make my own
MrCodeDude87: to show you what I want :)
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: I don't get it, I think your ideals of the colors
aren't the same once they are made, I follow the instructions, but it just
doesn't look good
MrCodeDude87: metallic blue.. that's a dark blue
MrCodeDude87: catchy font
MrCodeDude87: that looks like shti
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: ok, I made the letters like metalic, but they
aren't so blue anymore
MrCodeDude87: just copy the image that is on the site
MrCodeDude87: and change the letters
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: it's not that easy w/o nice text
MrCodeDude87: and I'll be happy
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: but it will be boulder text, just outlined, b/c
that's all I have really
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: ok just like you asked,
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: hold for upload
LaLaLaLaMagicMan:
www.geocities.com/casiotech99/freakslogocopycopy.jpg
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: simple and effective
MrCodeDude87: very nice.. can you make the blue a little lighter though
MrCodeDude87: more of a sky blue than a navy
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: ok!
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: done! and it's nice sky blue
LaLaLaLaMagicMan:
www.geocities.com/casiotech99/freakstechlogocopycopy.jpg
MrCodeDude87: nice
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: finally ;-)
MrCodeDude87: now, you just have to beat the competition
MrCodeDude87: :)
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: ?
MrCodeDude87: I'm going to wait over the weekend
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: wht is that suppost to mean
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: oh I see
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: ok
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: but how could competition beat me if I did
exactly what you wanted, anything more u say is to elaborate
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: did you see what danfungus made for you?
MrCodeDude87: that one that is animated
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: yeah
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: it's funny
MrCodeDude87: we get freaky
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: good slogan
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: in the thread you wrote that you wanted it to
look like the pic, and that pic has red letters, mine got blue, you asked
for sky blue, and by the color of your text, I take it you like that color
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: aim text
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: :)
MrCodeDude87: I like blues and orangeds
MrCodeDude87: *oranges
LaLaLaLaMagicMan: I like green and purple
LaLaLaLaMagicMan:
www.geocities.com/casiotech99/nicespherecopyfinal.jpg

So let me get this straight "Casiotech"

You have a gruge on codedude because he didnt like your logo.
You are mad because he didnt use your logo.
And you read the topic "Paypal reward" and decided to make a logo thinking he would send it to you in the mail.

It sounds like a personal problem to me....

"I like my logo, just blur it a little more or something" wtf what an idiot, why don't you blur it, you dork, i'll tell you why, your just trying to get yourself out of a ditch, you made your own logo, now you don't want to look like a turd by saying that the contest is basically off.....


I wouldn't waste more than 5 mins of my time making a logo like NeO did for you anyways.

Make mine look spiffier?!?! There is no way to make blue letters and orange glow any spiffier.....



I just don't like the mentality of these people, they think if they offer you $5 to pay for lunch, they got you by the nuts.....

Hahaha. LM care to step in and make a 5 minute winner? :)

No, contest is still on, you're just pissed because you make crap-ass logos. Even if I didn't use the logo I'll paypal the person $5 who I think had the best logo. It's a matter of opinion, and that is that your logos suck. So stay out of the thread.

And you were banned for a reason, you stupid POS.
