A year ago this website design was using a dark colored theme. It was the second theme and I chose black because it represents mysteriousness. Then I had plans to change the WordPress theme to match the forum skin. I had everything done except for one more thing which is a nice professional logo. If you do a search in Google on “logo design” or any other similar keywords, you’ll find so many companies or individuals trying to convince you to buy their their work. Fortunately I found Gary Simon, a talented professional logo designer who has been designing websites, logos, business cards, icon sets and etc through another famous Malaysian blogger named LiewCF. One custom logo design cost $99.95.

Other than designing logos, you can now see and learn how to design websites & logos from Gary Simon video tutorials. It has over 8 hours worth of video tutorials featuring 3 full website design projects and 5 full logo design projects covering from start to finish in Adobe Photoshop. You get to follow along and don’t miss a single step. Video tutorials is one of the fastest way to learn something because you can always pause, rewind and even slow down the playback speed.

Gary Simon is really nice and kind to offer 1 logo design that normally cost $99.95 and 5 free accounts to his video tutorials (now cost $49.95 per account). Interested? Continue reading to find out how you can win one for yourself.


I’ve decided to make this giveaway a little different this time. Since this is about logo and web designing, you should already have a website. To participate, all you have to do is to write a short review of this blog site (Raymond.CC Blog) and post it on your website. Once you’ve done that, paste the URL of the review to the comment box located at the end of this article and let me know if you’d like to take part in the custom logo design or video tutorial account. This contest will be open for a week and winners will be announced on 19th January 2009.

If you’re being selected as the winner for Logo Design, I will give Gary your email address and he will email you with a login to his custom backend system. You can then login and fill out a form with details about the logo you want Gary to design.

As for the selected winner of video tutorial, you’ll get to login to the members area to either download the videos organized into downloadable sections or watching them through streaming Flash. All videos are in full 1024×764 or 1024×640 resolution. You do not need to worry about the quality because it is very crisp and clear! I know nothing about designing logos and websites using Adobe Photoshop but I’ve learned so much from the video tutorials.

It was REALLY tempting to keep the logo design offer to myself but.. oh well, I might as well give it away and make one more person happy. By the way, while waiting for the results you can visit Gary’s blog where he offer free video tutorials for random stuff like how to design favicon, how to design a douchebag (no id) and more.
