$100 to $200 Header Design

[tonyuk]

I'm looking for a great header design to replace my existing header which you can see using the link below.

http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/images/header/header.gif

The header must include my shark logo and you will find these in the link below.
http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/LOGOS_4_RAM/

I will pay $100 for a standard design or $200 for a design that incorporate flash.

The banner size must be exactly 990px wide and the height must be no more than 300px and no less than 200px.

I need to incorporate 2 x (468 x 60) banners into the design but I don't expect you to code the image.

I will run this contest for at least 2 weeks and I reserve the option not to select a winner if I don't find a suitable design. I also reserve the option to close the contest early if you enter a design I'm happy with.

Good Luck!

Sorry nice effort but not what I'm looking for.

[simplyg123]

could you maybe shine some light, all you have requested is a header with your logo, i understand your probably looking for that one design that just pops out and hits you, but it will be much easier for designers to do that if you clarify what you have in mind. maybe show some examples of other headers you like

I'm not sure but for alll my other design contests on this forum I have posted a limited brief and have great entries and I'm sure I will get the same in this contest.

I'm looking for someone to take my existing header and improve it. The existing header is there for all to see.

[DaveyBoy]

Will try and enter tony, cheers.

Feedback

Jimmyrp - Wrong size and if I'm honest I'm not keen on the design.

Pigbait75 - I'm not keen on the colour scheme or the gifs. The main part of my site is the forum so you need a blue colour scheme to match the forum.

Small bet - I like how you have including the options, Home, Store, Books, Web, Forum, Arcade and videos and this is something I would like to see on all designs. The other options on the bottom of youe design are not required. The shark on your design looks out of proportion and I'm not keen on the main text.

Mac_crazy you have cut the tail off the shark and the banner section is cut away from the main design. I'm not keen on your green flash design.

Warpser - Wrong size and very much like my existing design.

[Ross860]

here my work,
i can integrate flash if i win

Ross860 - On both your entries you have not included the full logo and to me this does not look correct.

Any other entries?

[mac_crazy]

Here's the updated version, based on your comments:

The last 2 entries are the best so far. I will wait for a few more entries before I post more feedback. Thanks for your efforts so far all.

[smallbet]

here is second vercion of my header:

http://www.talpink.com/public/07/08/02/imageee58c.gif

What do You think about it?

[tonyuk]

Smallbet seems to have the best design so far. I like the edging on the image. Could you have this edging on the right and left sides also? Not sure about the text for Eat My Stack maybe you could try different fonts.

I'm still looking for new design ideas and new entries.

Ross860 I like your design but I must admit I like the way smallbet has edged his design and if he can do this the the right and left sides it will give his design a very good look. I want if possible to not have a block type header.

I think the design is great smallbet but I think the main text Eat My Stack Poker still need to be changed. Great work though!

One more try :)

That looks very good! Can you remove the options at the top and change the black to white. This is going to be very hard to beat!

[smallbet]

As You wish:

Can you stick a watermark on it so I can try it on my forum.

[simplyg123]

Can you stick a watermark on it so I can try it on my forum.

very considerate to ask, dont see that much

[tonyuk]

Smallbet I'm going to go for your design but can you make the following changes.

1. Remove the lines from the border.

2. Can the left corner match the right corner please.

3. Can I have 2 versions of this please. The first with the spaces for the 2 banners and the second with the text from my existing banner using the same font you have used for "run by poker players for poker player"

If you can do all the above and I take your design and pay you $120.

[tomeek]

i could make one but i guess it's over right?

[tonyuk]

I will close this contest at 11am tomorrow UK time.

Can I see a version where the left corner matches the right corner?

[tonyuk]

I will post feedback tonight and might take more than one design. Could you also think about including all or part of the UK flag on your design as we are a British forum. Also I would also like to see a design where the banners are side by side and not on top of each other.

[coolwanz]

Hi Tony, welcome back.

is the new suggestion for everyone? :)

[tonyuk]

This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave this contest open until 1pm UK time tomorrow. Any new entries I will post a link on my forum as I have to keep my 1700 members happy. You will find feedback at:

xxhttp://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=76068#post76068xx

At 2pm tomorrow I will run a poll on my forum which will end 8 hours later.

So if you have not submitted an entry yet please do so before 1pm tomorrow.

I may pick more than one winner.

[tonyuk]

Also could you all please put a watermark on your image as I may try these headers on my forum tomorrow.
