Since I have changed my domain name, theme, and host I’ve been thinking why not change my Entrecard too. Here are the 3 designs that I have come up with. Now, I’m not Photoshop expert as you can see, but I do have a passion for learning and have been dabbling for a few days now.
These are my 3 related designs:
I know which I prefer as so do you I expect as it’s displayed on EC at this very moment!
I’m sure that there are many Entrecard users that are suitably educated at using Photoshop and can come up with something better than these for the theme of my blog. So if you’ve got some spare time then feel free to do so. I’m not giving any financial reward so please don’t feel obligated to participate. I will show my appreciation with 250 EC credits or a week long 125 ad in the sidebar, whichever you prefer, for the design that I like most. That said, if I don’t think the designs are better that what I already created then I will reward all creations with 250 EC credits shared equally where possible and rounded up if not. So long as less than 25 designs come in that will be 10 credits for you time and effort, I don’t anticipate anywhere near 25 entries.
Design Specifications
- 125 x125
- body weight exercise example, like the press up I use
- RGB colours of:
- 9C 28 03
- 38 38 38
- ff ff ff
- contain the words HomeCalisthenics and/or Exercise Effectively
And that is about it. So long as you include these specs and nothing more then I’ll honour my word even if I don’t like it I will still reward it. Please do not add more colours, words, non body weight exercises, or anything else. I like simplicity.
I look forward to your designs.

I like the one you are using ec best out of the 3.
Not sure I like the coloring though - some how the black and red (red I associated with hot, pain) is a bit depressing and not very encouraging for exercise - but then for me just the thought of excersing is depressing *shrugs*
@Lady Rose - a red rose perhaps? I chose red because it is supposed to be the first colour perceived by a person. Historically red has been used to summon additional physical power from the gods during the Roman Empire era and before that. Wearing a red ruby was supposed to bring about invincibility and aid fertility.
The red rose is the symbol of love and fidelity. In Greek mythology red rose was a symbol for the cycle of growth and decay, but also for love and affinity.
And most importantly, the football team that I support (Liverpool) wear the colour red
I can see your point of view but I guess it’s just a matter of opinion and association.
I do agree with you that the EC I’m using is the best of the 3. Thank you for your comment too.
I like the one on the far right
I made two design options for you:
