the website is
http:// www . tbirdforum . com
the website receives > 400 uniques a day
I am looking for a header banner in the following size...
height: 180px
width: 968px
I am open to all colors and styles, animation is ok too.
DON'T go by the colors on the site now - I will recolor the site to work with the winning design.
The website sells ford thunderbird cars and offers a thunderbird forum too
the site was established in 2000
The winnng design will be picked in 5 days or if I see something that blows me away.
Winner will have the option of getting paid for their work or a link on the website for one year. It will be your decision.
thank you

You didn't really give much information to work with. I'll try something different if you could give me some direction you would like to go with.

new font
Both designs fall into a might choose category. I would like a slogan to go along with the header.
The website offers Thunderbird to buy or sell as well as a discussion forum - Some of those aspects would be good to see in the submitted header(s)

Thanks for your entry, nice job by the way.
I do want to make a point that we do not have a slogan but would welcome a slogan as part of the header design.
Some Possible Slogans could be ...
The Oldest Thunderbird Resource Site On The Net
Buy, Sell, or Drive Your Next Tbird at Tbirdforum.com
Talking About Thunderbirds All Day Long
So a slogan that grabs the purpose of the site would work well.
Basically tbirdforum.com would be a site where you could buy sell or talk about thunderbirds

another slogan i thought of is "The #1 Resource Site." The slogan is easily changeable :)

I really like your design, but there is something about the way the font looks that seems to be to plain.

I would like to see another variation of this.
Please change the big lettering of thunderbird forum to be tbirdforum
then see if you can find another white vintage thunderbird to come in from the left side of the header so both cars will kind of be pointing in each others direction.
do you know what I mean?
if you can't find a white tbird then any color will do.
thank you.

I have declared PHEYZ the contest winner with the design above.
Pheyz the only mod to this design I would like is to leave everything alone and just change the large lettering which now reads thunderbird to be tbird
PM me to let me know weather you would like your payment to be by paypal or a banner placement on the home page for 1 year.
Thanks everyone. This was a hard choice as many quality designs were submited.
