    Hi Everyone,

    I have a new site currently in Alpha stage, moving to Beta next week. I would like to have a header in place to make the website feel complete. So I'm running a 7 day contest.

    The Site: http://tinyurl.com/29zest

    About the Site: It's a question and answer site similar to Yahoo Answers but is only for Sex and Relationship problems.

    How to win the contest:

    1. Header needs to replace existing header (776 x 143)
    2. Use the same color scheme to match the site
    3. Header needs to be professional and nothing pornographic
    4. Must include the website name: LayAid
    5. Be creativity!

    Good Luck
    Any Questions, Let me Know

    I haven't come up with a tagline yet, but like you said it can be altered. I'm not sure about the couple - I would like to make the site available to everyone (read gays, bi's, transgender...etc) so having a hetrosexual couple might feel like I'm excluding people.

    All that being said I do like the colors and it fits really well with the site.

    Very Nice! I really, really like the single heart one. It's clean, crisp and simple. I like the idea of the puzzle peices too. Could I see what it would look like it you made the single heart look like two puzzle peices?

    One more favor - could you snapshot the header into the site like you did with your first one so I can get the overall feel?

    Thanks Tropica!

    Dont believe this is as good, yet, but will be improved if this is the type of puzzle shape separation you are after.

    FlashPixels.co.uk - I'm 50/50 on the puzzle peice. It gives the heart some sexuality (male/female) and the jagged edge kind of strife but it's hard to tell what it is is and seems less clean? Either way still love the design and the colors fit really well.

    zinruss - I like the use of a graphic to seperate the site name vs logo/tag line. Very nice. The colors don't fit the site so well. I like the font of the tagline and the shadow, but not keen on the font used on the site name. Hearts are fine too, just need a different color that match the site. Butterflies are nice. So I say, change font, choose colors from the site to improve it.

    Revamped Solutions - Don't like the bling, and seems like a lot of empty space. Colors match nicely. Not sure about the 3 hearts, probably because of the empty space - seems like two different things where I would like it to flow better.


    Thanks Everyone for the entries so far!
