Looking for artistic photoshop help

Hello~

First, My apologies, because I have posted this message in more

one newsgroup. I know, bad me, but please forgive me.

Second, the reason for my post; I am looking for a work of art,

hope you, the readers of the photoshop newsgroups, can help me.

the thing…

I have just started my own web site. It’s lame, it has no content,

serves no purpose, but it is mine and I am playing around with it.

site is www.LongBoxes.com. (and no, the point of this post is not

advirtise my site, because my site has nothing to do with

art.)

Now, I do not have a great eye for design, nor do I have photoshop skills. But, I want a really great logo for my site. A friend recomended I use photoshop to create such a logo, but liek I said,

skills, thus I have come here looking for help.

Right now, if you visit the site, all you’ll see (other then how

the site is) is a logo that is just really large Comic Sans font.

very exciting.

I am tossing it out here, to all of you photshop masters and

a challenge. Who can create the greatest logo for my site, and

their proper title of Photoshop Artistic Master!!! (he says with

fanfair and overacting)

(I’d call it a contest, but really, I have nothing to offer other

my thanks, and the promise that I will mention you and/or link to

from my page.)

So, what do you think? Feel up to the challenge?

Please submit your works of art to my email address:

And yes, you do not have to use photoshop if you do not want to,

tools you may choose will be fine by me.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I thank you for

time and help.

Actually, the going rate for a professionally designed logo varies from a few thousand dollars to $100,000 or more.

We are talking about real world prices, all graphic people now ‘have’ to consider the global market or much of their overpriced work end up being done in India for fraction of its USA/European competition. On skill these guys have all the talents we have but they can work cheap.

Actually, one of those "high end logo design specialists" that can command those kinds of dollars regularly posts in the graphics forum run by Sue Chastain on About.com.

Sorry, I haven’t "hung out" there in three or four years … and I cannot remember his name. However I do remember that he lives in the Pacific Northwest part of the USA (Oregon or Washington).

Logo design includes a large package of service, not just drawing up some image. For example, legal research regarding copyrights and trademarks can soak up thousands of dollars.

Several years ago a major company started
using a ‘logo’, and it turns out almost exactly the same redition, done in-house, had already been in use by a public broadcasting company for years. The company got into deep trouble, and of course the "graphics experts" were sued. Research is expensive and difficult!
Then there are the myriad of mechanical things that amateurs ignore, for example application of the ‘logo’ in different circumstances. One comes to mind from an undergraduate design class. Our instructor was an industry (read: mature) designer and had worked on a Dow Corporation signature. After several versions had gone through the first pass for acceptance, they printed the image/logo on shipping boxes and stacked them in various ways to see how it looked in real life. Then they threw the boxes about and looked again. SURPRISE! when turned up-side-down the image gave the most distinct reading impression of "MOP". Toss that version and on with the next.

I would think that branch of services would fall under copyright and/or trademark attorney.
