Contest 15$ 24hr contest for slapping text on a background (need grunge look)

Hello again talented people,

This should be an easy one. basically I need a slogan "pasted" unto a metallic background or something similar looking. It is for a clothing company for rugged looking individuals

So what I need is the following text (please remove the links) There_are_those_who_lift_and_then_there_are_those_who_Keep_On_Lifting applied to a metallic or some grunge looking background.

You can choose whatever background you want, whatever colours you want but needs to have a rugged, masculine, grunge, old school feel/look and prefer wide, bold fonts

Although not necessary, feel free to use the logo and the metallic background that can be downloaded from here https://wetransfer.com/downloads/36...aa26d6b016f2526adc0edcdd20161219122708/396b80

Once I see some text I like that goes well with the background I can then match it myself and turn it into a slider (w/h: 1080/370px) for the following website keeponlifting_dot_net

Please present this in a landscape format. Winner gets $15 via paypal Aiming to end this in 24hrs.

No PM entries please. Any questions please feel free to ask

 

Thanks for the entries. I'm a little pressed for time now but I will come back with feedback. Just in the meantime I want to emphasise I am after the grunge, rugged look. I like having the logo and some other photos added but the most important part is the rugged look. So far the best one is Mr Alan

 

Hello,
Here's my try.

 

Robert Cox: thanks for getting things started. I appreciate using an image as well as the logo but unfortunately this is missing the grunge element.

EpicDesignGuy: thank you for the entry but it is a little too plain for my liking

meanymoo: thanks but it is not what I am after. The text is a little hard to read and also apart from the background it is missing that grunge look

MrAlan: so far yours is the best but only because it captured that grunge look I am after. One thing I would change would be first of all to have a little more space between the words as they are a little too close together and they are hard to read. Also I am not sure about the positioning of the logo.

Grafish: thanks for the entries. They look very well designed but they fail to meet the target. The target for me was to have a grunge look. Yours do not have that grunge look. I like the positioning of the text it looks well balanced but unfortunately as much as I like the positioning of the text I feel like it looks too busy and that is because I have a lot of text. If I had less text the positioning would be good. But I would still need that grunge look. So from a designing point of view they look good but I also need to think from a "selling" point of view whether they get the message across. Also adding that graphic barbell while it adds to the element it also makes the whole thing look a touch too busy.

DianaGy: thanks for the entry. In your entry I think I actually like the background the best. The rest though it is a little hard to read despite the key words appearing very easy to read. But this time I wanted the entire text to be read and not just the key words.
