    the website is

    http:// www . tbirdforum . com

    the website receives > 400 uniques a day

    I am looking for a header banner in the following size...

    height: 180px

    width: 968px

    I am open to all colors and styles, animation is ok too.

    DON'T go by the colors on the site now - I will recolor the site to work with the winning design.

    The website sells ford thunderbird cars and offers a thunderbird forum too

    the site was established in 2000

    The winnng design will be picked in 5 days or if I see something that blows me away.

    Winner will have the option of getting paid for their work or a link on the website for one year. It will be your decision.

    thank you

    You didn't really give much information to work with. I'll try something different if you could give me some direction you would like to go with.

    This is simple but nice and would fall into a category of might picks.

    thank you.

    Both designs fall into a might choose category. I would like a slogan to go along with the header.

    The website offers Thunderbird to buy or sell as well as a discussion forum - Some of those aspects would be good to see in the submitted header(s)

    Thanks for your entry, nice job by the way.

    I do want to make a point that we do not have a slogan but would welcome a slogan as part of the header design.


    Some Possible Slogans could be ...

    The Oldest Thunderbird Resource Site On The Net

    Buy, Sell, or Drive Your Next Tbird at Tbirdforum.com

    Talking About Thunderbirds All Day Long

    So a slogan that grabs the purpose of the site would work well.

    Basically tbirdforum.com would be a site where you could buy sell or talk about thunderbirds
