$25 Banner Contest...More than one Winner :)

I need a 468 by 60 banner made for http://www.blackhatuniversity.com
For the text you can put "Black Hat University: Come To The Dark Side"
or "Black Hat University: We Teach Success"
I don't want you to use the existing design but try adding in new or different props such as money or Search engine Spiders to make the banner look interesting..

The winner will receive payment of $25 via paypal. If the designs are good I may pick a 2nd place winner for $10. Please submit your work and ask any questions you may have! Contest will end on Wednesday the 13th. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the effort but your banner should be 468x60 in size. Needs to be more web 2.0 looking

Thanks for everyones entry..please keep designs coming! Here are my comments below:

pat3ck: background is too busy and text is too plain and simple.

Jackih1791: I like everything except the membership card on the left hand side. Replace it with just the BHU logo or try a college graduation cap.

blood08: You have a nice design and layout however it looks dull with just one color. Add in some different colors to make it more eye catching.

a-Q: Very nice work. I can't think of anything to change except making the text in a different color than grey.

yesar4u: This design is more suited for a hypnosis site.

dimitri123: I like the design but the women on the end perplexes me. Can you put in something else besides her?

deakster: Great choice on style font. Nice and simple. Can you make it flash so it shows what you have first and then put in "Because Cookie Were Meant To Be Stuffed"

Warari: Nice to see you again Can you change the money you made from greyscale to color so the bills will look green?

GreenleafElf17: I like where you are going with this...it needs a graphic prop in it to make it more eye catching and also use other colors than just grey.

cyristine: too many spiders and I'm not too fond of the font style you used.

yugo: It has too much going on in the background. The text overlaps the backgroun images so it's hard to focus. Maybe put the "we teach success part" down towards the bottom.

 

will fix tonight!

 

Thanks for the feedback.. Edited entries..
