Okay so, here's the deal... I have played around with over 50 different ideas, but everything I come up with I am unhappy with.
I am having a creative block right now and I am looking for a few different types of graphics outlined below.
Looking for high quality works only please!

The basic idea behind all of the graphics are gladiator themed, semi-looking for something original/custom.

24x24 Guild Avatar - pop-out - this should be maybe two swords crossing over a shield, or a sick gladiator helmet, I prefer something dark - bonus if can incorporate the letter 'C' into it somehow without it ruining the focal
64x64 Guild Avatar - traditional & pop-out (one of each, please) - same idea as above, traditional version could have animation if done properly, pop-out should also be dark but have some element that could be 5-6 different 'common' colors as options
325x24 Guild Banner - traditional - same idea as all above, gladiator themed somehow, should include ONE of either pop-outs from above centered or at the 25% mark, and have "COLOSSEUM" in good/minimalist kind of font/typo on it somewhere.

BONUS if all three are similar in some way, but stand out a little bit differently for each of them.
Again, prefer dark schemes, gladiator themed, high quality.
Paying 1,000 for the total package that I find to be the best.

Looking for all three and will keep this open until I find at least one awesome set.
Any questions just ask, I look forward to seeing some attempts!

Nobody?

You're asking quite a lot for 1k fg, so it's not really worth the time and effort.

I'm not against paying more - I didn't realize it was an issue

If anyone seems interested in this project feel free to give me a quote of how much you'd like in exchange (post here please, not PM) and I will let you know if it's within my budget!

I appreciate the feedback JAQK

Still iso this!

My attempt @ #1 (its not the right size just so its easier to see it resizing not a problem) incorporating C in it will either take away the focal of swords away but im playing with it, will post few other versions soon.

other variants

e: these are not final, as can be seen on dark d2jsp themes they still need to be polished to get rid of tiny white pixels around sword handles, letter c can be moved a bit downwards/sized better etc, will wait for feedback if these match the criteria as that wiill take some monotonous work and time, can make others to match the theme as well.

I like where this is going, the original copy you posted is my favorite so far - possible to have the swords crossed more center with the shield, and maybe silver/greys to stand out from the shield?

Other than those few adjustments, I really like the way that came out, will be interested to see it at the different sizes - thank you for posting!

ok Ill try some edits tomorow

in case you are wondering, besides the 64x64 ava the rest is pixel art/favicon category imo and doubt that ppl that could do it well gonna attempt this for 1k , this is my opinion on the matter, for me the canvas is too small besides the 64x64 if i get bored might attempt , so i have to ask, where are you planning to use the 24x24 and 325x24? Can influence the design in a large way btw.
