Welcome to the fourm Digifad and thanks for submitting!

I have to tell you, your use of the astronaut on the moon was hilarious and so fitting with the slogan: "Owning a domain means people can find you...anywhere."

You had a logo which is good.

Your one weakness, there's no Web 2.0 format to be found. In other words, I don't see any use of shading, reflection, rounded corners, shinyness, or gradients.

You've got the right idea for sure digifad.

DeluxeNames Logo Image ::

It's great that you used Web 2.0 Kilk! I like that reflection that you used of the letters.

Here's the weaknesses:
1) Add some type of logo. Be creative and make it abstract or take the word "Deluxe" and twist it into some stylish art. Then place this logo to the left of "DeluxeNames".
2) The background is good. Maybe it's a little plain. See if you can spruce up the background a little by adding some more texture, or color or design. I don't know but maybe some lines or something.

Great work

One more entry.

Good Chirag! Now this one has a logo and that's a big improvement. Now I noticed that your last one, a few posts up from this, was starting to use some Web 2.0. I saw some shading affect that I liked. See if you can bring in some Web 2.0 into this one here.

Thanks for the feedback. Here is a bit more of a 2.0 feel for the logo.

Hey John, this one has a logo! Good
I like the text affect you used of the lighter color/darker color.

How to improve this is that try a version with a different color text. I'm not a fan of orange. Otherwise, good.

Thanks for the feedback!
My first entry was just a little play with the possibilities.
I will definitely make it a bit more Web 2.0 and, overall, better.

btw, I really liked your last entry, digifad! Nice work!

That's better! Now you've got a contender. One suggestion, the slogan can be a little larger text. The irony of this one is great.

chirag

Feedback plz.

digifad

Thanks, DN. I'll bump up the tagline font size this evening.

Nice! I like your use of the silver on black, and I really like the reflected letters

The one thing I'd recommend changing is the logo itself.

Good work Kilk
You've incorporated more elements of web 2.0 and that's great.
The one suggestion I have is that the box might not be the best logo.

Feedback plz.

Very nice use of reflection Chriag!
My suggestion for you is to work a little harder at a logo. Come up with something different that reflects "Deluxe" to you.

digifad

Thanks for the compliments, Hadriel and LurkinBack!

LurkinBack

Here's my attempt at something, finally got happy(ish) lol

***EDIT***

After asking an opinion or two it came over that the X wasn't showing enough so I gave it a little something extra.

fiona2412

You know my opinions Lurk..I likes it

fiona2412

I much prefer the 2nd one...the x is alot clearer

Kilk

Here is a update on mine. I removed the box and put a image of Planet Earth.
