Need a banner designed - $50 contest

[elcash]

Hey all, I'm looking for a header image (or logo to go at the top in the center) for www.levinehat.com (http://www.levinehat.com)

The banner will be placed on all of the pages on the site...
Payment will be $50 via paypal.

Attached are a couple logo images that we use currently, but you don't have to use them if you have a better idea...

the current banner is 748x109, but if you have an idea for a completely different format or size that'd be great too - so if you have an idea for a logo or something that'd go in the center, or aligned to the left, jsut let me know what are your ideas...

Good luck!

Here is my first attempt, feedback is appreciated

[elcash]

I like the idea...
The choice of font for the "Levine Hat Co." and the font for "be somebody, wear a hat" are both looking good...

The reflection on the text might need a little tweaking so it doesn't stand out so much. Also, I don't really like how much contrast there is between the black derby and the white logo. Got any other ideas for how to integrate the logo?

I made another design (Please let me know which one you like best so I can work on that entry or if you prefer you can give feedback on both of my entries and see where they go)

I prefer the first one... It's got a little more "classic" look as opposed to modern, which might better fit the image of the organization...

@Lemuria : Looking good, I like the idea of the hat on the "i" in the second logo, but I like the professional look of the first. The sherlock is not really what we're looking for.

The contest ends when I find one I like and one of you is paid!

@All : I'm thinking that the logo images I included probably won't be good in this design. I would prefer a nice looking font choice for the "Levine Hat Co.", and some minor ornamentation (similar to Lemuria's idea of hanging the hat off the "i" or the "H".

@Aaron : A little more cartoonish than what I'm looking for :) (btw your blog is awesome, man).
