★ ★ $25 site header - fun topic to design ★ ★

    I need a header for my blog www.webdevjunk.com

    Header dimensions are 737px by 150px

    My first thought for this would be a play on the name like a dumpster or trash can with bits of programming code overflowing out of it.

    Also, if you want to do one that leaves the site name and menu links in place where they are now that would be ok too.

    But I will leave all of that it up to you guys.

    Thanks!

    I will pay $25 via paypal if there is a winner. Maybe more if it blows my mind!

    (I say if because I may not like any of them and reserve the right not to pick one - Its never happened though, usually I have hard time picking a winner because they're so many good ones!)

    No takers on this one? Is the bounty too low?

    Thanks Callistas Design - not bad at all. I like the background and the title design a lot. Not sure the dumpsters and code coming out are working though. Maybe just one dumpster. And I think the code coming out of the trash should be bigger and more solid rather than typewriter looking. I guess 3D-ish.

    Another thought - maybe instead of random code. The words coming out of the trash can be some of my categories like: PHP, CSS, SEO, JavaScript, HTML, XML, etc.

    technoguy - thanks for your entry. I like your wastebasket concept.

    callistas - looking really good. Is the "CTR 08" you watermark? Also, can you have some of the words appear actually in the dumpster just seems like there is a black void and then the words are all above it. (I guess you would have to give the letters a white fill to have them show up over black) And can you remove the dumstper logo - or change it to WDJ instead. Sorry for all the changes but you are very close.

    Thanks looks great - i like better without brick texture. Is this in a layered psd so I can edit if needed? Can you dump the 1-800 number off the dumpster logo?
