Need some logo help..

[carlo2343]

So this guy did something for me on my website, and in return I told him I'd list him as a sponsor under our sponsors section with a banner leading back to his website. Problem is, he can't really design a banner of his own because he says hes bad at it, so I took a shot at it. I designed three, and all three he didn't like and he felt his was better.

Here is the one he made:

I personally think it is very poor

Here are the three that I made:

(http://img259.echo.cx/img259/6783/logo6wa.jpg)He said he didn't like the yellow in this one

http://img259.echo.cx/img259/8014/logo27gq.jpg
(http://img259.echo.cx/img259/8014/logo27gq.jpg)He said he didn't like the background, too many lines

http://img259.echo.cx/img259/2396/logo32gu.jpg
(http://img259.echo.cx/img259/2396/logo32gu.jpg)He said it's too plain, and it needs a border..however it is the same logo off his website intro (www.platinum-designs.net)

I have patience, but this guy is too picky:{

Can anyone do something better that will please this guy?

Thanks

i like the third one the best, dont see what his problem is, not like is site is all that graphically anyways:lol:

no offence but his site sucks. there's not much content to it at all. ah enough about the site. yeah i'd go with #3 as well. it fits in with his site so it's the best.

third one is best for me. if the link is that small, u gotta keep it nice and simple. if he wants a border for the third one then make one dude, then blend it to your grey background. rounded boarder with some rollOver effect. should keep him happy. but yeah, his site.. the intro is horrible. gave me a headache.

[musicwithcolors]

oh, i forgot. use drop shadow with the rounded boaders. makes the link stand out.

just a few ideas of mine

def the 3rd one is the best the other 2 look tacky and something you would get generated off one of those text sites.
