$100 banner contest - Celebrity Gossip Site

    Site is www.thenippleslip.com (currently NSFW)

    Getting ready to relaunch this site, make it less adult and more of a mainstream celebrity site. Don't worry about the current colors or anything, I will be getting a new wordpress theme designed around this banner.

    Points of interest:
    - Site name: The Nipple Slip
    - size - 815x150
    - I am looking for simple, crisp, and clean. Try not to be too busy.
    - I don't have any particular colors in mind, but I'm a big fan of retro colors, stuff that was popular in the 60's, maybe the 70's. Keep in mind that this will have to match an entire theme, so try to keep it to 2-3 primary colors max.
    - No celebrities in the header. Feel free to use cartoons of people, or shaded outlines or whatever, but avoid actual celebrities.
    - Payment via Paypal.
    - Feel free to PM with questions
    - Post all images in the thread.
    - Don't spell out the URL, words should "The Nipple Slip" (minus quotes obviously), not www.thenippleslip.com or thenippleslip.com

    Few examples of headers I like:

    http://www.egotastic.com/
    http://www.hollywoodtuna.com/
    http://www.thesuperficial.com/

    Don't feel like you need to copy the above three, (they are pretty different styles anyway), they just are all pretty solid, and adhere to my no specific celebrities guideline above.

    Contest will run through Friday.

    Do you want animation of any sort in the banner?

    No, should just be a static image.

    Not really what I'm looking for mr_jinsue.

    1) I intentionally didn't post a tagline because I don't need one.
    2) You've used celebrities in the header, when I said I didn't want that.
    3) Overall it's just not terribly visually striking.

    Thanks for the attempt though!

    Well if there is to be no celebrities in the banner and no tagline, the whole thing is basically gonna consist of your URL. What else could be put on?

    Depends kind of? I don't want nudity, PG-13 could be ok though.

    Feel free to PM me your idea, but if you produce something please post in the thread so I can critique and kind of guide everyone along. Thanks!

    I'm looking for colors that stand out a little more. Also, if you're going to use a real person, neck down might be preferable (like the Hollywood Tuna link above).

    Would like to see this without the nipples in the Ps, like I said I am moving the site away from being NSFW a little bit. Also don't need the URL in the bottom right.

    I'd like to see a more retro color scheme as well, if you could do that.
