Contest $20 Header contest (48 hours)

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Hopper, Oct 28, 2009.

    Looking for a header for a new site I'm working on,

    Size 820 x 186

    The site will go under the domain mad4england.co.uk and is not live yet.

    Obvious colours are White and Red and I quite like the Sport theme, maybe with images but I am open to suggestions.

    Please remember this is England and not Great Britain so the Cross of St George has to feature in the design and not the Union Jack.

    Contest ends in 48 hours and payment is via PayPal.

    Thanks and happy designing!

    WOW, great results so far, thanks.

    First thoughts:

    dakysrb, nice but not white and red and no cross of St George.

    Hide_My_Ass again nice however the ball used is a baseball and we don't play base ball here in England!

    technoguy - This is nearer to what I envisaged. I love the 3rd picture the best, the 1st and 2nd are not that England specific. If I chose your entry, could I email you a couple of images I would like to replace the 1st & 2?

    Manu_Manly, please post your design in the thread. Its a little unfair on others that you can see their designs and my feedback but they can't see yours!!

    Thank you everyone, keep them coming.

    destudio84 - love the billowing flag, the colour scheme and the MAD4England type but the cricket ball makes it look like its an English cricket site and the site is aimed at people who are MAD 4 England in general.

    The sport angle is because of the passion in supporting England and the passion shown by them who play for England.

    Thanks, hope this helps.

    Feizer, I like yours, you seem to have captured the pride and Mad 4 bit! Is there any way we can lighten the red of the overlay?

    Thanks

    Hide_My_Ass, lol!

    destudio84, I think the fist looks a bit aggressive, I like the banner but want to convey a more 'friendly' or celebratory feel as in some of the other images.

    torturedexistence, love the images, the Sir Bobby Moore pic is terrific, I had forgoten about that iconic image!!

    destudio84, again, I really like the flag and logo but not too keen on the images, particulalry in the latest one, it still looks a little aggressive. Not over keen on the images in the earlier one either sorry but you are getting very close.

    Feizar, I prefer the 2nd to the 1st, thanks, just as a matter of interest, what would it look like it was made more opaque?
