Contest Need banner & logo for Visualskirmish.com | $25 Paypal, 24hrs

Would like to redesign our banner and logo on our front page.
www.visualskirmish.com
Need a logo somewhat similar to the one below but add your own originality. I'm hoping to get a more professional look. Maybe a more 3d looking eye or something completely different.
Also, need this banner redesigned, do not add any of the white text that appears on the right - It should be the 2nd image that comes up in the flash.

$25 awarded to the winner, 24 hrs.

 

logo:

 

Looks pretty good, any attempt at the banner?

 

Both very nice entries...
Any attempt at the banner, that is a part of the project as well.

@onlyvidiu: I like the twisted looking metal around the eye...not sure what it represents but maybe you can make the left side a letter "V" and the right in the shape of an "S" curved around the eye?

 

Banner:

 

Dante - Nice banner...maybe try another in green instead of grey background just to compare?

ghosthost - nice try, no cigar

 

Any more entries?? Would still like to see a few more samples.

 

My entry:



Hope you like it

 

onlyvidiu: I really like your design on the eye...I think I like red better though than grey for the lettering. Missing your banner entry.

Dante- I really like your work on the text "Visual Skirmish" but if you could do something similar with your eye that onlyvidiu did, I would be curious to compare. Sorry for the double work.

Vaun - very cool design, I dont really need a wolf background, maybe a darker grey lettering and maybe connecting the "V" and "S" with they eye?

hacktutors & Cullen - not really what I was looking for, thanks for trying however.

 

ok, i'll change to red and do the banner.
Please wait

 

My friend mentioned doing an eye with boxing gloves...anybody want to give that a shot?

 

Could anyone do a logo something like this but cleaner?
