Estimated project duration: 1 day or less

Hello,

***Please only apply if you already have experience creating this type of metallic 3D finish. I cannot pay for someone to experiment or attempt it for the first time.***

I need a designer to finish an existing suite of Golden Memories logos and brand artwork. The designs have already been created and I will provide three Adobe Illustrator source files, PDFs/JPGs and the original visual references. There are approximately 10 different existing designs, with some repeated on different display backgrounds.

This is not a redesign. The main task is to make the existing artwork look like the original references: rich, warm, shiny metallic gold with a three-dimensional appearance, shimmer, highlights, reflections, shadows and depth.

The current versions look too flat and orange/brown. A basic gold colour or simple gradient will not be sufficient.

All existing lettering, shapes, proportions, positioning and decorative details must remain unchanged.

I also need the following small supporting elements created in the same gold style:

* Standalone diamond
* Plain line
* Diamond-and-lines divider
* Decorative divider/underline

Every finished asset must have a genuinely transparent background. The black and curtain backgrounds shown in some files are only presentation examples and must not be attached to the final artwork.

Please provide:

* High-resolution transparent PNGs
* Updated working/source files
* Clearly named individual files

The main Golden Memories logo should be completed first so I can approve the gold appearance before it is applied to the remaining assets.

I am open to the method used. What matters is that the finished artwork genuinely looks rich, dimensional and gold, closely matching the original look.

Please include examples of your own comparable metallic-gold or 3D work and confirm your realistic completion time.

Fixed budget: £50

Clarification Board Ask a Question

Could you share the original visual references you mentioned, so the exact metallic gold quality (tone, shimmer intensity, reflection style) can be matched precisely rather than approximated from description alone?
Are all 10 designs meant to end up with an identical gold treatment applied consistently, or do some need slightly different finishes depending on their individual shapes or backgrounds?
For the metallic effect itself, are you expecting this achieved primarily within Illustrator (gradients, effects, layered highlights), or are you open to techniques that might involve other software (like Photoshop) for a more genuinely dimensional/rendered result?
On the "same gold style" supporting elements, diamond, line, diamond-and-lines divider, decorative divider, do you have a sense of their intended size/scale relative to the main logo, or should that be judged based on how they'd typically be used alongside it?
Given the approval step on the main logo first, what's your expected turnaround for reviewing and approving that before work continues on the remaining nine designs, since the 1-day project estimate would need to account for that back-and-forth?
Finally, are the three Illustrator source files organised as one file per design, or do multiple designs live within the same file, since that affects how "clearly named individual files" should be structured on delivery?
