$20 sports forum banner/logo

This is a $20 contest for a sports forum banner/logo for the site http://www.thedraftwatch.com

What we would like on the banner:

1. "The Draft Watch" text in nice big visible web 2.0 font
2. the following players somehow cut out and arranged in the banner

Jake Long - #1 NFL draft pick 2008
Michael Beasley - Potential #1 for NBA draft 2008
Steven Stamkos - Potential #1 for NHL draft 2008
Buster Posey - Potential #1 for MLB draft 2008

(the attached images are in the same order as I have listed them)

You may arrange the pictures of the players in any way you like. (If you find a better picture of the player, feel free to use it instead) Don't include the names on their picture or anything... I just showed you to give you some information.

3. Any size that is suitable for a banner on a forum
4. A simple color or gradient on the background to smoothly blend with the rest of the forum header.
5. Will need the final in .psd format

Other than that, just use your creativity and make it look nice!

Contest will end in one week. (on June 6, 2008)

Looking forward to seeing your entries!

 

tried something more intresting then just web2.0..


A banner will show up too if you like the logo.

 

I would like to enter to the contest please

just one question were do I submite the .psd file?

 

Ohhhhh I like that SOOOO very much! Seriously, that looks great!

Is there a way you can include pictures of the players?

 

Just submit a regular jpeg (with watermark to protect you) of your logo/banner idea. If we choose yours, then after you receive payment you send us the .psd

thanks!

 

You want me to include pictures of the players on the logo or on the banner?

 

On the banner please! thanks!

 

sure,will be done quickly.

 

That looks great! I really like this one. Am still looking forward to seeing some more entires.

I edited the template a bit. The header is a bit longer now, so we'll need the banner a bit bigger.

Check it out here http://www.thedraftwatch.com

 

i've just noticed something wrong with my logo :S
it's supposed to be the draft watch not the draft clock,i'll fix it .

 

Haha, I thought that was done on purpose... like a watermark or something.

 

Wow, that turned out awesome! That is much better that what I was expecting.

If you could use a gradient on the solid blue part (like the gradient on the temp banner on the forum) where the logo shield is that would be perfect

 

How will it will be if i take the logo that night vision has made, if not i can make

If u tell yes i can make the banner more perfectly

 

No. Sorry, make your own please.

 

if you think about closing sooner,go ahead , nah just kidding.
