Contest $100 Banner Design Contest - 72 Hour

    I am back again and I need a new, static banner to replace the animated top banner of this home page:

    alliedphone.com

    I do not want the new graphic to be animated (static is preferred) and it needs to complement or work with the current design and color scheme of the home page. It also needs to be the same exact size as the current top banner that it will be replacing.

    Here is what we are looking for:

    Graphics:

    I would like a montage of happy, diverse (male and female and a few different races) businesspeople. One should be talking on a cellphone, another should be talking on a landline phone, another should be at a computer with a headset talking and the last one should be seen talking over video conference screen. Obviously, I expect that these graphics will be entirely legal from a copyright perspective.

    Text on the Graphic:

    (Headline)

    Unified Communications

    (Subheadlines)

    More Revenues
    More Profits
    Happier Customers, Vendors, & Staff

    We will make a decision by 5:00pm EST (NYC time) on Thursday, 10-23-14. We will pay the winner immediately via Paypal.

    Happy to answer all questions or make suggestions, etc. Looking forward to some great entries!

    Can you post screenshot or something. I can't understand what exactly is "animated top banner", or you are saying that about the slider?

    Sorry for any confusion over my use of terms. It is the graphic near the top of the home page that starts with two playing cards and then switches to a shot of file boxes, and then switches to a picture of a man holding a laptop in a data center. I want to replace that graphic that keeps switching between the three scenes.

    HI, will you pay for stock photo that designers would be using for the design? You don't need animated header so only 1 header (1 design) is needed? Just curious about the requirements which would be needing a lot of stock photos for only 1 design header.. It would be a bit busy with the design.. Let see if i could make one.

    No, I expect to receive a banner with legal pictures for this contest price of $100. There are free to use stock photos out there and I would expect those to be used. It will be a "busy" graphic and that is where I am relying on the skills of the designer to make it work.

    Thanks for the submissions, @urbanlucas and @pheonix89. They seem very similar?

    I am not really a creative type, so it is hard for me to make worthwhile suggestions as to how to improve such designs. Do feel free to submit more variations if you can think of anything as we will review all submissions and pick the winner by the end of the day here today in the U.S.
