Banner/Logo contest $35

I need a sports banner to go at the top of my new forum:

http://www.sportspeech.com

I obviously want it to fit in with the site, and it needs to say SportSpeech.

If it can have these pictures that would be good, but it is not important.

do you want us to replace that water and ice thing??

 

If you can, then yes please.

 

actually it'll be more easier..
and how about the size??

 

I'm not sure on the size to be honest, but just to fill the entire space of the water and ice.

 

Just to say to everybody, I have had 2 offers for $20 as these people think $35 is too much.

I will let you decide if you want to stick with my original price, or willing to be paid $20 (but just to warn you it may effect my decision).

Thanks guys!

 

I'm doing this..please wait..thanks..

Anything let me know

Feedback Appreciated

 

any update on this one??

 

I've come across a major difficulty, meaning I can't actually place any banner on my forum!

I am trying to resolve it, but it does not look likely I'm afraid.

 

do you mean the shape is not fit with your site or what??

 

The skin I have on my forum, means the current banner is split up into about 8 different parts.

This means when I try to place a new banner on I only get an eighth of it, and so it doesn't work.

 

Any update on winner of this competition? I am waiting for the decision of the thread starter
