Quickie $15.00 Header Contest

[lhd333]

I'm launching a new blog about my adventures in internet marketing. Need a quickie header - something that compliments the current theme - http://closeenoughtotaste.com

I'm looking to end this contest by Friday if not earlier.

Winner gets $15 by paypal.

Note: theme is fluid width, please make your entry compatibile.

Close enough to taste implies that I'll taste serious internet marketing success!

Thanks folks!

Sorry for the low prize - can't put much money into this one (there's another contest I'm running in the sig as well.

Looking forward to your entries.:D

Responding to a PM for everyone's benefit:

So it's clear, I welcome full creativity to your entries - the blue/black color scheme will stay but don't limit yourself when creating the logo. Also, the buttons to the right will expand as I add more pages.

Thanks for the entry Marky D.

The squiggly strip interferes a bit with the text - I was thinking about putting the actual url off to the side or underneath. Let me think of a "slogan" as well before you do any other work.

Thanks for the entry!

One more thing...it'd be kind of neat to have a little icon (like a slurping tongue or something to that effect). Again, I know it's a small prize but I've seen some of you throw some wild graphics together quickly.

Thanks!

Ha! Great tongue. Thanks for the entry!

@caj

Interesting fonts, a bit menacing for my taste though. Thank you for your entry :)

OMG I love this tongue :eek:

Did you make it yourself ?

[markyd]

I got it from istockphoto in vector, but it just didn't fit my needs, so i changed it up ;)

Hehe nice, It's looks a bit erotic though :D

Please give feedback:D

@markyd

Cool graphic but I agree, a bit erotic. Any way to make it look like a mouth licking itself (like it just ate something yummy?)

@metalwarrior

looks more appropriate for "close enough to rape". HAHA. jk, thanks for the entry.

When are you choosing the winner, Ihd333 ?????

[lhd333]

Sorry for the delay,

This was really tough especially since the concept was so vague. The winner is coolwanz!

FYI: markyd and melting-fire were the runner ups.

Again, sorry for the delay - I had been running another simultaneous contest and gotten way to deep into it!

coolwanz, please contact me offlist - need just a minor font change.

Thanks everyone for your speedy entries. I promise not to let a contest hang like that again.
