Default Want a FREE custom made pen?

Well, actually it's not free BUT... there is a way you could earn a pen if you're interested.

Using the recent IAP coffee mug designs as a reference, there are many members who are very talented in designing logos and such, unfortunately I am not one of those folks.

Instead of Georges Penworks, I have decided to call my little pen business "Arizona Pens" and need some help designing my business cards and I'll probably use the same logo on my website.

Similar to a contest, I would craft one of my custom creations and send it to the person who does the best design.

If interested, I am thinking of a southwest desert theme similar to this .... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...LcLSSsPK9DrJI2 where the text "Arizona Pens" would be curved across the card and possibly working a fountain pen in somewhere.

Anyone interested?

I can give it a shot. I've done a few other logos for members here.
