Want To Win A Year On The Immediate Edge? Got Design/Copy/Video Skillz?

Post By: Ed

Old Thirty Day Challenge Logo
In Fashion…One Day Your In…And The Next Day…Your Out…(Best said with Germanic accent)

After a torturous process we have come up with our tagline for this years challenge

“There Is No Charge For Awesomeness…”

SO

We need a new logo  - and we need you to design it. On offer is 12 months of immediate edge action - Here are some points

1. We would prefer the logo to take less real estate than the current one does
2. We would love a flavicon that comes up in the address bar of our browser
3. Need to use it in a button so that people can put it on their blogs
4. (not for the comp but) need to produce alpha channel versions for use it cool video etc

BONUS ROUND (Copywriters at the ready)

I must tell you from a conversion perspective our thirty day challenge front page blows… it’s a sad case of the plumber with the leaky pipes at home…

SO

We want a fierce makeover of our landing page www.thirtydaychallenge.com - we need copy that converts and really points out this is the first step of you creating a real business. Based on your personal experience would be even better

The winner gets twelve months on the immediate edge

TRIPLE BONUS ROUND - Introduction Video

Think you can make a great introduction video for our front page (remember the aim of this video is to tell people about the challenge and that it is the real deal and not some funny pyramid scheme!!)

Put you entry up on youtube with a link to www.thirtydaychallenge.com (It’s totally cool to use your friend link!)

also use the tags -  Thirty Day Challenge Internet Marketing Small Business

The winner gets twelve months on the immediate edge

SPEED BONUS!!!

If your quick of the mark and have your entry to us by the end of the weekend - and your one of the above winners -I’ll give you a copy of the online version of Dominiche as well…

So have at it.

Ed

    1) Amen! I’ve had referred friends tell me later they bounced because “It’s what Willis…” made them think it was the wrong site!

    2) New tag line is awesome! Except, I think this variation would be even better:

    ThirtyDayChallenge “Where there is no charge for Awesomeness”

    3) What is graphic design? Never tried it.

    4) Wait. Did you say Immediate Edge? Dominiche?!!

    Scratch #3), I am now a SpeedyFierceLandingPageGraphicDesignCopywriter! ;)

    Hmmm….think I went a little overboard… 800+ words long overboard.

    Was good practice as that is the first sales letter type thing I have ever done though (and I don’t even feel dirty after doing it!).

    Hi Ed
    I joined 30DC last week and I love the preSeason.

    Do you have a need for some web programming skills for the new face of the 30DC?
    I am fluent in HTML, javascript, asp & php and even though the prizes you offer are exactly what the doctor ordered (I have a very IM oriented doctor - he loved the previews of Dominiche) you haven’t asked for these skills here - so I hope you will.

    Greetings Ed,

    Just curious if we have to submit finished designs? What if we have sketched designs because we don’t have the computer expertise to actually create them? Are penciled sketches of designs acceptable and then you could have a real designer render them in Illustrator/Photoshop??

    Thanks!

    Mark

    Just wanna confirm is it one contest that comprises logo design+copy writing+video? Or there are three contests with one prize for each category winner? I am kinda confused….

    In addition to my logo posted here i would like to comment my choice of colors:

    - blue (listed as the most popular color) represents trust, reliability, belonging, coolness
    and
    - orange represents playfulness, warmth …

    All of the above can be used as a synonym to 30DC.

    Oh, what an idiot I am not to think to post here!

    I crammed all night last night and got done right around midnight my local time (CST, 1 hour off EST). So maybe I’m too late for Dominiche, but I would like to still be considered for the video contest. (How will we know our submissions have been accepted?)

    OHH - even MORE annoying. I sent out a few tweets when I was done and I just checked the links and they just go to the 30DC page.

    Alas.

    I’m not sorry I’m late :-) I only found the post today.
    I am very late though. Borderline extremely late!
    Actually if I waited until the morning I’d be even later.
