Contest $20 Header contest (48 hours)

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!

 

Heres my entry, anything can be changed if you wish so.

 

Here comes my entry



Anything let me know
Feedback Appreciated

 

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.

 

Yes if you select me i will merge your given pics and replace the current one with new one.

Thank you

 

Here's My entry

 

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.

 

header concept

feedback appreciated

 

Oh sorry loool I didn't know Englad doesn't play base ball, BTW good thing you said that about the flag
cuz I would of used Britain's lol

 

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.

 

revision
this was my previous entry, compare



compare with this revised entry

 

hello here is my try:



hope you like it
thank you

 

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?

 

thanks for feedback

two revisions

background more opaque



images more opaque
