    - Suggested Size: 930x160 (doesn't have to be exact)
    - Colors: Red, White, Black, Blue, Grey (please visit website to get a feel for the colors)

    *Winner will receive $30 Paypal*

    $5 BONUS if you include new forum icons that match the header. Forum icons are the images that appear next to each forum title. There should be two, one for no new posts and one for new posts. (ex: [​IMG], [​IMG])

    Can't wait to see your submissions. :)

    Thanks for your submission.

    Here's some feedback for you:
    - I really like the Baseball Player
    - make sure people realize there is a dash between Talk and Baseball
    - please change "The Baseball Forums" to "Baseball Forums"
    - Seems like there may be one too many baseballs in the word "baseball"
    - Maybe experiment with some different shapes and possibly a different font
    - I was actually looking for a 930x160 header but your entry will still be considered

    Once again thankyou for your submission.

    Thankyou for the submission.

    Feedback:
    - I really like the font
    - I'm not really a big fan of the guy on the right. See if you can find a better baseball picture.
    - I would really prefer if the image was around 930 wide
    - Thankyou for submitting buttons: They work nicely. Can I see them with circles?

    Thanks again
    Jimbo21

    Hello,
    It is 930 px wide, It's just to prevent stealing.
    I will transform the buttons to circle if you'll chose my design, About the guy on the right, I Won't recommend you to replace it, It should be clean and simple and his head is facing your logo, I worked like 20 minutes for just placing this 'guy' right, But if you still want a replacment then I will, But let me know if you chose my design first.

    Thanks, Eliran.

    Thankyou for your submission crowquill :)

    Feedback:
    - I like the black background under the red
    - The chat shape around talk actually works very nicely
    - I'm not sure I like the font or the color used on "baseball forums"
    - The baseball and the bats just don't really blend in well with the letters
    - maybe see if you can incorporate a baseball somewhere else in the logo
    - other than that it looks very professional

    Thanks again
    Jimbo21

    Thankyou crowquill. It looks a lot better. Although I'm still not sure about the bats in the L's.

    Thankyou for your submission ;)

    Feedback:
    - The font seems a little too basic
    - Baseballs are nice but probably a little too big
    - I don't think I really like the backround with the way you have it wrapping around Baseball Forums

    Once again thankyou for submittting

    Now you're heading in the right direction. Make sure people know there is a dash between talk and baseball. I'm still not a big fan of the font though.
