$50 Twitter Background

[EverythingEverywhere]

I'm looking for a really sharp, professional looking background for my Twitter page. Here is my current background (http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_background_images/2976198/twitter-background.jpg). Here is my Twitter page (http://twitter.com/EverywhereTrip/).

It should have the following:

1) It should incorporate my logo (http://everything-everywhere.com/ee-logos-3.png).
2) It should use the photo I use for my avatar (http://flickr.com/photos/garndt/492644909/).
3) The three URLs in my current background should be included.
4) Put in a few sentences of filler text that I can replace when I pick the winner.
5) You can use any of my other photography (http://everything-everywhere.com/Photography) to make the background.

How long will this contest be going on?

[EverythingEverywhere]

Until I find a winner.

FYI, Copying what I already have changing some colors isn't going to win. Check out examples of how other people are using Twitter backgrounds here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/twitterbacks/).

What dimensions should the page be? Normal size?
Also, I'm assuming we'll need to make the design around the twitter message box?

Will definately enter, seems like a nice challenge :)

I think my current background is like 1900px wide, but most of that space has nothing to do with the design.

You will have to work around the message box. You might want to upload it to a twitter account just to see how it works.

I am working on something aswell, might take me a few hours though (the fact that it's complex).

[kiteguy123]

I'll be the first to make an entry. :)

See it working here (http://twitter.com/kiteguy123)!

Feedback appreciated!

Thanks.

EDIT: I still need to fix the size and what not, but this is the jist of the design.

I incorporated your visited locations map and let you see it with Twitter (the "Asia" name by the photos is where you could put the name of location of that photo):

The center portion of the map can be replaced. Or if you wanted twitter on white background can do that, too.
Thanks.

Is there a place I can see it?

[xluciusx]

any feedback on the other entries?

[di-vahyn]

I needed to upload it again. It should work now.

I like the ones from Falling Down and di-vahyn so far.

If there are no new submissions in 24 hours, I'll be closing the contest.

Really great to work with, I made the changes as requested and received payment promptly afterwards.

Good luck on the rest of your journey, Gary! Some amazing stuff you're doing, and the pictures are great! Have bookmarked your site and am now following you on Twitter.
