    Hello Everyone,

    I'm seeking a nice, professional header design for my new wp blog (still being developed).

    The blog is setup with a Magazine Theme from RevolutionThemes.com

    Checkout the blog : Here

    The Blogs Name Is "Hot Deals Weekly"

    Just by looking at the name, you should already get a picture of what the website is focusing on.

    The header should relate to what the site is offering.

    This website offers information on the latest Freebies, Hot Deals, and Coupons on the net. In General.

    I have no real prefrence on the color. Just make it suitable to the way the blog is built, and avoid very light colors, and very dark colors.

    In addition, you can try implementing icons, but please don't put something like and image of a computer, or DVDs, or any type of product.

    The header design must fit the current header space located on the website.

    Contest Ends In 4 Days (October 30, 2008 12:00AM DP Forum Time)
    Payment Method: Paypal
    Contest Winner Gets $30

    I will be online everyday, giving feedback on all posted designs.

    Thanks.

    shweetish: The design isn't the same size as the header shown on my website + The style and fonts are not what I'm looking for. Looks very unpro.

    The idea of having flames, because the name is Hot Deals Weekly, is a good idea, but the random colors, etc....doesn't work for me.

    I'm looking for something a bit more "slick" (lack of vocabulary).

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Vivko: Your design looks nice, however if you can please do something else with the “Hot” placed into the header design. Also, when putting together the design, it should be the same size as the entire header space on my site. This design is to small, and if implemented, the writing wouldn’t look good being that small. Put as much watermarks as you wish, just please show it as a header size.

    Xira: Also, the design header is too small. The only way I can really know it looks good for my site is if I see a full header design, so I can compare it. The light blue color with some white, doesn’t fit the hole Hot Deals Weekly name. And font looks to ordinary. It looks like the type of font one would use in Word 03 while typing an essay.

    Still looking for more in depth designs. The above designs, I could have made myself.

    Looking forward to future entries.

    Thanks.

    What's the size of your logo?
    I think it's 420 X 100!

    Hello gfxmachines, Yes the contest is still open. :) Looking forward to seeing your design

    Revamped Solutions: Welcome to the contest. Looking forward to seeing your design aswell.

    TMlogos : Please make two more revisions. First header, make it like, http://www.blogperfume.com/ with the writing being Gray, and Red (not pink) - and with a very light background pic implemented if you can. Just to fill up the page.

    Second one, make font similar to http://www.recroomguide.com/, and use same background color. Use Red and White, or White and Green.

    I'm just looking for that design that will get me to say yes!, the second I look at it :)

    Thanks.
