$40 Header and Logo Contest - Hip Hop / Rap etc

    Hey everyone,

    Im looking for a redo of my overall header image on my forum, www.hiphopgraphix.com/forums/ (check this for color schemes etc)

    The current image dimensions are

    870px × 154px

    I'd like to primarily just focus on the site name for the header , with an urban feel that suits the forum template. Artist images etc can be used and nothing too cartoony please.

    For the logo, thats pretty much open slather - most people call the site HHG for short so maybe something based around that with the url in it? Just keep it in theme with the header :)

    I'm easy on formats but for the Logo id like one with a transparent BG option included too.

    I do reserve the right to make no choice (very unlikely) but would like everyone to watermark and copyright their images so people dont think im trying to steal any work for free, I'm just specific about what I like and dont like but I will definitely work with people towards a final winning design :)

    Any further questions just post here please , i'll monitor the thread regularly.

    Also, please no PM's - all concepts should be posted within this thread.

    Thanks!

    Mesh

    Sorry - looks like i also forgot to put a time limit on the contest! I'd like to run for a week if that's cool with everyone.

    Feedback..

    Anidesign - Not sure that colour scheme fits with the board to be honest and there is a heap of unused space there.

    BEG - well to start... its graPHix :) i think its probably too bright for the board too, its pretty dark as you can see.... the font is decent though, not sure on the crown for the logo - seen a few other hip hop sites with that kinda vibe.

    Dan - good urban look, the .com should probably be at the backend of the words though - the silhouette looks good though - any header option ?

    maybe a figure/silhouette between the hiphop and graphix in the header?

    the header is the main focus really , the logo should just be a continuation of the header.

    Header concepts please tell me if you'd like anything changing or adding etc..

    Due to it being a header with a very "vectorish" logo i'd recommend simplicity but it's for your forum :p.

    dan, can we get the same rusty orange as on the forum and maybe taking up more of the space? bottom one looks good for the header spacings, the middle one is probably better for the logo.

    cheers

    Dan - can you take the exact orange off my board? kinda like the one that pat3ck has used? and make it like the last one of the three you did with the blue - hiphop (man) graphix but add the .com sideways at the end

    Seni - looks good mate, but probably a little 'light' for my template.

    Pat3ck - you got the color down great! i can quite figure out what the background is but id like to see some more - also, again... its graphix not grafix.

    cheers!
