Virgistics

Virgisitics is a company that among other things, gives merchants of any size the ability to sell electronic gift cards from their website.

We are looking for a signature Gift Card design to use as part of a major launch of our new website. This will be used on our home page that already receives 40,000+ unique visitors per month and will increase greatly at re-launch.

Here is what we need (We need 3 graphics):

Graphic 1 - Plastic Gift Card
Create a graphic of a plastic gift card. The gift card must be co-branded with our logo (smaller) and our customers graphic (larger), for this contest please use the Virgistics logo for both, but keep in mind the purpose of the larger one is to replace it with our customer’s logo. The plastic card may include a specific picture or theme, but does not need to. Some example industries that we represent include: Spas, Hotels, Golf Courses, and various Retail stores. It must look good when placed on a white background.

Here are some examples of other signature plastic gift cards:
