we need to create 6 web graphics for our client (awards images similar to those on software download sites) + redesign their webpage logo (they need to have the current one more glossy).

You may want to have a look at http://www.softzone.com/wd/ .
The site is currently under the development but you'll get a hunch of what's going there. The colors, the size of the main logo, etc..

The awards page is not ready yet, however here is the Editor's review pre-designed one:
http://www.softzone.com/testing/Public/Editors_...

We will need these two arwards:
Editor's Award and a Clean Award (or you can name them as you like - I'll leave it up to you).
The basics:
- colors to be used: blue, orange, yellow or green
- glossy surface,
- please, see the attached files (those are some examples we like)

Please, start with the main SoftZone logo at www.softzone.com/wd (as described in our requirements).
This has to be done in AI or PSD (since we only have it in gif format).
