Do you have something against earning $50? Don't reply then, officer.

I've been graphicaly designing for the past 3 years. First, No one uses photoshop to Design a logo, not a good GD'er atleast. Second, 50 bucks for a Logo design? you should have said ProBono it's less insulting. This may seem snotty and rude but i know people who get paid 50 dollars just to consult.

... for a half-hour, which is probably far less than you'll spend designing a logo.

Oh lookit, a thread I would have deleted except people are replying to it.

There's another one under the Internet thingy :)

I got that one.

I think we should actually work on this project and post results here.

I'll start it off. This is my entry. Six minutes of effort. It's not very pro. Sorry.

<br> so the spelling is wrong i guess that shows how much i care.

That really is a hideous looking site.

Guys, you don't follow the guidelines!

I did, however.

(unrelated - Bitmap, you go to GMU? I live in Fairfax and my better half goes to GMU - and I will when I finally drag my ass to school in the spring.)

So basically, this guy took Thau's JavaScript Tutorial and put it on his own site.

Good for you, web pirate!

web lemmings
 

Say what you'd like, but I'll still get my submissions. Thanks for viewing and making all of this possible, you hateful, dull, web lemmings.

You're kidding, right, UT? You know this crowd. It's like asking traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway not to slow down to gawk at the overturned tractor trailer full of watermelons. Most of us would sooner stop breathing than stop replying to inappropriate threads! :beer:

OK, this one takes the requirements into account.

UT, That is hilarious. I would give you the 50$, and the crap-ass splash/intro/one-more-click-to-enter page, were it my site.

Dave's made me break into uncontrollable laughter while at work, although I am running on little sleep.

Re: web lemmings
 

Obviously, AB hasn't spent much time perusing The Cellar before spamming it. Otherwise, he would have never used the tem "lemmings" to describe this bunch. Lemmings have to agree to follow the leader, even unto their demise.

Perhaps a better choice of terms for the denizens of The Cellar who so gleefully engaged in the humiliation of his contest request would have been "human versions of Brownian Motion" or even "meat-based random concept generators."

Hey assholes!
 

This is MY place!

Take it outside...

i told david i'd do this and i have to keep good on my promises.

sorry about the size.

Oh My Fucking God!
 

You do realize that no human being resembles that, don't you?

jeni, you utopian fool!

what are you talking about NBN? I resemble those! youv'e got some serrious problems if you think one doesn't look remotely like one of those. <br><br> Jeni: You are a hillarious! Kep'm <STRIKE>cumming</STRIKE> comming<br><br><br>
this is actualy from thier site.. how sad <img src="http://www.webscalpel.com/graphics/samples/splash_banner.jpg"><br>
whoever maid(yea i know... it's late) this obviously has had no training in Comptuer graphics. <br>Unfortunatly this is a common disease in the world of Graphic Design: "I have a computer and photoshop ergo i am a Graphic Designer"<br><br><br>
it's late ... er early i'm going to bed

OMG LOL
 

AHAHHAHAHA Jen! That rules so much it rocks my face off! I would set that as my background at work, but I think there is probably some dumb policy against that like, "no more than one didlo may be shown on a background at a time". This case obviously breaks the hard "1-dildo" limit. Nice work.

I also did another one.

I think this one fits better with the webscalpel site.

Of what?

Great banner!

You guys rock!!!:thumb: Jen it is not the size that counts it's how you use it...or something like that. I was feeling really down in the dumps you guys have made my day Thanks.

Make the check payable to "Bill Stern"

This is more fun than I thought actually possible...

I agree, I never knew my Snobish attitude about Graphic Design could be so much fun. Keep em Comming people. I also think this is one of the first photoshop posts where more than one person has actualy Photoshoped things for it. Hey UT could you enable Voting on this thread so we can vote who's is the best. We can set a mental deadline for the end of the weekend... Monday morning.

Sorry man, I would but we only have voting on thread-level.

Can we start a voting-only thread in Photoshop, or would that be gauche?

Don't you just love when communities come together?

I, personally, am glad that antibland stopped by. He opened up my artistic side that I always knew I didn't have!

Dave: I think your view from that angle is far too accurate :p

You willing to pose again tonight?

sure but i'll need to streach more this time.:D

seriously... I leave for a little while and I come back and there are stick people pooping?

Where's the craftsmanship?

I believe that a blatant lack of craftsmanship (or any inherent value) was precisely the point being communicated.

Make it $135 and I'll fix it up for you.

Whores are people too.

:\

Ike's photoshoppings are <b>always</b> the best. I give up!

it's all in the images you use... i steal mine from stock photo houses and clone out their watermarks.

Heh. I can actually do decent Photoshop (decent, not spectacular - I consider yours very good). But the only stuff I've exhibited here is my MSPaint.exe skills, and those were supposed to look as crude as possible anyway. :)

how bout this?

if i wasn't using dial-up, i'd join in...i'm too lazy to wait forever for an image to upload. (pardon me if i'm not using the proper computer jargon. i think i am though. :) )

but know i'm here in spirit, and laughing heartily. :)

oh, and what are you guys talking about? you've never seen a flourescent pink penis before? :D

Ohhhh!!! Too much information!!!!!

goodness, someone doesn't understand sarcasm :p

:)

they aren't supposed to look real. but i mean, that really isn't a stretch...i just took a picture of paul's penis and colored it in paint shop pro...

and matt - thanks for saying that was funny. you guys make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :3eye:

Geez you should have gotten him aroused first.

That's not a warm fuzzy!
 

This is a Warm Fuzzykins:

antibland private message'd me, asking me to see my webpage. Isn't that cute?

I'd send it to him, but I don't want to see it mirrored as webscalpel.com, so I think I'll pass...

Or hacked?

The server's pretty tight, actually. We keep all security patches up to date and no passwords get in or out unencrypted (even our web-based email is encrypted, just for extra safety). He would have quite a time of it.

Even if someone did manage, the backups are good and the server is only 35 minutes from my house at a colo facility that I have access to 24 hours a day. I'd be back up and running with everything in no time.

I know better than most how to break into servers, and ours is pretty well secured.

(In other words, I'm about as worried he'll 'hack' my website as I am scared that I'll be crushed to death by a donkey falling from a cargo plane overhead. It's not even on the radar.)

Meanwhile, every mention of the word "webscalpel" ensures that Google will return this thread when people search for the term. Right now only the webscalpel site itself is indexed, but the next time the Googlebots visit here...

Don't mess with the hateful web lemmings!

we could always do the oppostie of what I've done on my site to get more hits-- I went on a long rant saying mp3, britney spears naked, midget wrestling, girls gone wild, bum fights, sarah from joe millionaire, etc... and received an overwhelming influx of new visitors...

we could just make up sentences using the word webscalpel that will pop up when the word is googled, eg., "Webscalpel web development sucks donkey balls" and "Webscalpel reads granny porn while sitting around the house wearing nothing but a little league chest protector and slathering his face with 10W-40" and "If I were to sum up Webscalpel.com in one word, it would be 'Ass-hat', or is that two words, hyphenated"

Your turn.

Jeni, I believe that your logo design is brilliant and should clearly be declared the winner.

Now, as far as webscalpel.com ITSELF goes ...

Who would EVER hire a webdesign services company that has to run a contest to design it's OWN FUCKING LOGO????

Additionally, the site name doesn't say "design" to me ... it says "cutting the web up into little pieces with a very sharp knife". The imagery is FAR more "Jack the Ripper" than "respectable surgeon" too ... hmmm ... if only I had a copy of photoshop myself ... there could be some good logo possibilities there.

Ah, hell...just use MS Paint...it was good enough for Dave and me.;)
