$35 Banner Contest - Movie Blog

    Hello everyone.

    I have recently got a new layout for my site, therefore I need a new banner.

    Here is the site:
    www.filmonic.com

    The site is movie related.

    Here are some example of sites with the same layout:
    http://gadgetcrunch.net/
    http://blog.winecountry.co.za/
    http://creditcrunchedus.com/

    The only requirements are that I want the RSS button and links to stand out. The size should be similar to the examples I have given you above. Colour-wise : Black, Green, White, Grey. The banner should say 'Filmonic'.

    I want something a little unique. I am still unsure whether I would prefer a black or white background, so show me your stuff :)

    The contest will remain open until I find what I am looking for. Payment via Paypal.

    I forgot to add. The menu will be separate and is not part of the header.

    I like it, however I am not too keen on the star logo.

    I love the font!

    If you could get rid of the film reels and replace them with a unique logo or something that would be great. I need the RSS feed button to stand out also. Check the site.

    I like it. Although the font is a bit plain. Could I get a closer look of the rectangle with all of the screens on it?

    I love the font and grey strip. However, the clouds and other background bits are not that relevant to the site. I like the stuff towards the right of the banner, near the RSS feed.

    I tested the header and the RSS is a bit too low. The RSS button will always be on, so you do not need to include it on your design. Just make that area stand out a little like your box. Could you also change the orange 'O' to a green, darkish.

    I like the planet logo. Could you remove the website address and the sabretooth tiger. Although it looks cool the image came from a movie poster and there may be copyright issues further down the line :)

    Also, you do not need to include the RSS feed and links in your design, just make the area stand out a little. Oh, and a little bit of green somewhere would add a bit of colour to it, and maybe a better font, or add some effects, like glow.

    I like what I am seeing. The more designs the better so keep them coming :)

    This is currently my favourite.

    Due to my time zone I have to sleep now, so if there isn't anything that interests me more than this in the next 12 hours or so then I will contact you for a couple of tweaks here and there.
