Dubb has a couple other tweaks he's working on. Let's see how submissions turn out before Feb 1. You can submit as many as you like. One will really click.
I'll give a few more hints.
* There are mostly post-children members of the site and will hopefully remain that way
* It's not meant to be evil -- just strong
* Too much color clash can kill the page look
* Too little contrast is meaningless for a logo
* 3D effects and/or opacity of parts may be good, but don't go overboard
* Some times simplicity nails it
* The head shot doesn't absolutely have to be used, but cool if it works
* Blending into the background is a big plus. If you need the blank logo background in PNG format, click this link:

* And probably the biggest hint of all. This contest is mainly just for fun, but the winner will end up with a $25 PayPal payment. Please don't take it too personally. If that's a problem, I'm not a councelor, so move along. In all honesty, I may not end up using the winning entry (probably will though).
The reason I brought this here, instead of a PhotoShop forum is becuase I enjoy and appreciate CA.com members and my time here, and want to give something back. This is primarily meant to be fun to add to the CA lounge.
Any questions, please ask.
And most of all, THANKS for the great entries so far! Good stuff guys!
