    Ok, I am back again.
    I am hoping to create a website in the next few days www.axastone.com
    I am hoping to sell natural stone countertops to luxury home owners.
    I need a logo and banner for this new site that would give the look of elegance.
    Remember the name of the store is AXA Stone. This contest will last seven days, the first prize is $50 and $25 for second place. Let the games begin.
    I am open to size and color the site will be built around this art work.

    Yes this site will sell kitchen counter tops.
    We need it to feel high end, not like home depot or the other big box stores. Here

    bikerjeg, that is a very good start, the tiles how ever looks like fabric and the inlay looks like ceramic.

    Killerj, I like the way you have axastone reflecting in the stone. The font and direction of the text turns me off from the design.

    Here is something we had over the Xmas. we are having it change, this was a other site that we have

    The picture that I gave was just an example of the type of work that we do, It was not to be use. look at it, does that scream we are the best, spend your money with us not the other guys, I need a good look not just some text over a picture. I need you all to be creative, make me say, WOW!!!! I have seen some work from you guys that made me say wow, that is why i am here.

    this looks good, the image is not all fuzzy. I like that you when and added a message. This is getting closer to what would make me say wow. Ottopottomouse can you protect your work in some way (misspell) so that it could not be use by any one. You all can find some real nice images of stone countertops on the net. just find one that is nice.

    The site will be made around what ever color scheme you all come up with. just remember that we are looking for elegance.

    Personally I like ottopottomouse, with maybe a little tinkering on the text & title. It does look top drawer.
