    We need a header banner at: http://www.mydlstore.com/xcart/home.php

    Requirement:
    1) Maintain the present logo (at the left);
    2) Maintain the blue ‘search’ bar;
    3) Redesign the portion over the blue ‘search’ bar;
    4) Color scheme: any color scheme other than blue (there are already too much blue color in the website);
    5) Style: business or abstract.

    USD60 will be rewarded to the successful designer.
    Though we need the header banner as soon as possible, we still need more contributions for comparison before selection.

    I don't understand this bit :

    3) Redesign the portion over the blue ‘search’ bar;

    Can you clarify what you mean by that?

    I would like the green portion totally replaced by a new design. It includes: you may remove the right hand side woman and modify the left hand side logo. The reference logo files can be downloaded here:

    This is somewhat confusing, because the banner .PSD is split up, along with the vital banner .PSD isn't actually there.

    DesignChampion's design is professional, attractive and impressive.

    I like the background immediate behind the beautiful lady and the right side blurred arrow. I don't like my original green background as it is too 'deep green'. Instead I like the background light color adjacent to the head of the beautiful lady.

    Though I like the center 'man and lady', I don't like the right hand side beautiful lady. She is so outstanding, beautiful that the customers attention will be drawn on her instead of on the products.

    I hope there will be some contribution similar to the header of http://www.litecommerce.com/ with modification.

    DesignX designed a nice and creative background.

    Though the color of the background is blue which I mentioned should be avoid due to the website has already too much blue color, I still like it. It is in harmonize with the blue bar at the bottom.

    The LCD monitor at the right is simple and not impressive.

    In order to minimize the blue effect of the background, in this case, I think the other graphics such as logo, computer etc should has lesser 'blue'. A little bit more color variation will enhance the visual effect of the website.

    I have updated the header banner at: http://www.mydlstore.com/temp/logo , this is the exact .psd file that we are currently using. You may download it there. If you have time, you may provide one more version just by incorporating your background to my present banner. You may change the color of the logo to match your background. Thanks.

    Thank you for your creative.

    Though a lot of effort has been put in enriching the background and the blue bar, the result is not impressive. Moreover, the blue bar curved part is distorted, the earth in the original logo is missed.

    We have already a banner header in use and we are looking for a better one to replace it; therefore, it is not so urgent for us to make a decision to choose a winning one. In spite of this, I think some banners posted here will meet my minimum requirement if they can make modifications.
