I like your idea and it plays well, but it didn't grab my clients.This contest isn't over yet. I really like your work and really would like to see what else you can come up with. I'm going to be moving you into first within the next 2 days.
Thanks, I'll see what else I can come up with. I assume the client would like to stay away from to boot image? FYI, I am at my design computer on weekdays after 6pm CDT. Thanks again, Don
#162 & #163 - Here are a couple options showing a woman doing push ups. I feel this is effective since the push ups are a part of exercising and also a well know army / boot camp activity.
I like the look of the fonts for both missfits and boot camp. color and sheen are nice on missfits in particular. Dump everything else except the text. Square off bootcamp (maybe even remove the border) and then just block it all off nice and square. texturize "boot camp" somehow to give it a more rugged look.
166 is getting there. Make boot camp bigger so the side edges flush with missfits. A little more white in the gradient inside missfits will light it up a bit as well.
