    Hi

    I am looking to change the header on my site ""www.ukholidayrental.co.uk"", the current one is more property developer than Holiday Rentals (Hotels, B&B, flats, cottages, farmhouses etc etc).

    The size is 1000px x 288px

    Ideally I would like it to match in with the current colour scheme, but have more of an impact and meet my target market more.

    Thanks

    Dee

    Thanks for the entries so far, would like to see more please.

    So far my fav is by divineworld I'm liking that :)

    Just a note I will pay an additional $10 if you can change the logo to match in with your header design, the site name is "UK Holiday Rental". I'm not overly keen on the current one, too clunky.

    This however is not essential, if you just want to enter for the header then that is fine.

    Here is the screenshot of the header:

    I leave some space for such as a welcome message or something like that, so I just take half of the header and fill with the image.

    Thank you.

    Hi

    Thank you for your entry, although I'm not really looking for a text based header. Also that would be more suited I feel to a ski resort type site. It just has that look to me.

    It can be hard to get across exactly the type of thing you like, but for any future entries (or if anyone wants to revise their entries) I would say the entry by divineworld is really the look I like. It has a real impact but yet is soft and elegant at the same time. It looks classy :)

    Would love to see more entries along that line.

    Thanks

    Dee

    PS Forgot an important part, will require PSD file :)

    Thanks again to all the entrants so far.

    I'm not going to sit and judge every single one by saying what I don't like, so if I don't refererence your entry it's not because I don't appreciate your efforts, it just means it's not really what I'm looking for. I obviously want to give everyone a fair chance so if I feel like your going in the right direction I will say so :)

    My top two so far:

    Divineworld - I really like the header and I like the logo but I don't feel the two really go together, the header is very classy and elegant and SOFT and I feel the logo isn't soft enough, it's a bit boxey, if that makes sense.

    Putt - I do like it, but I just feel it's too much, it looks too busy and I'm not sure I get the logo icon. I really like your main image though. Again very classy looking

    Still plenty of time if you want to enter :)

    Thanks

    Dee

    Thanks everyone - UPDATE: I'm going to extent the contest for a little longer.

    I didn't want to go over 24 hours ideally because I wanted to get it all done and dusted (so I can carry on), but to be completely honest with you the reason I am extending it is because as yet I couldn't pick a clear winner. So far it's between Divineworld, Putt and Angelart.

    Divineworld - I like the new logo much better than the first one.

    Putt - A real improvement, although I still feel the logo icon doesn't work, is looks like a safari, and the site is for properties in the UK. As I said I really like your main image and I like what you have done with the small images, look really classy. The logo I'm not so keen on, it's too hard, it competes with the header rather than blends with it, I feel. I'd like it more subtle.

    Angelart - I really like how you have incorporated the logo into the actual header (and got rid of the box, so far you are the only one to do this), I really like the softness of your logo too (this is my fav so far of the logos). I'm not keen on the arrows though, as it won't be a slideshow.

    Everyone seems to be going down the same route now with the small pictures and whilst I do like it I would be interested to see if anyone can come up with something a bit different :)

    Thanks

    Dee
