$40 Header Contest - 24 Hour Contest - Immediate Payment via PayPal

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by tvanslooten, Feb 24, 2011.

    I need an old header revamped and updated. The current header can be found here:

    http://bestonlinestorage.com

    The new header needs to be enlarged to 970 x 150. Please watch this 4 minute video as I give specifics as to what I'm looking for:

    http://screencast.com/t/Ojl7GjjK8k

    The site title needs to be in the header: Best Online Storage
    The new site tagline needs to be in the header as well:
    "Protect your digital life with the best online backup solutions."

    As I mentioned in the video, here are things I like and don't like about the current header:

    Likes:
    I LOVE the colors used - purple, orange, and gray (continue to use these)
    I like the idea of showing files being uploaded to an "online server"
    I like the image of the lock to indicate the files are stored securely on that server

    Dislikes:
    The image of the laptop
    The image of the globe

    While this is a 24 hour contest, if I really like an entry before the 24 hour period ends, I reserve the right to end the contest early.

    The winning designer will get paid immediately via PayPal.

    Thanks everyone!!

    If I'm being totally honest, the only thing I like about this entry is the font for the site title (but it's a little too small). I don't like animation and the static one doesn't do anything for me. The font for the tagline is way to light and too small. The graphics used look like cheap clipart. Again, just keeping it real:)

    I responded to this person's entry but just so that everyone knows...it was somewhat similar to the current header.

    Come on guys...show me something new!! In the video I said I only liked a few things about the current header - the colors and the fact that it demonstrates (to an extent) that the files are being "uploaded" to a secure server. I don't want to see something very similar to what I already have. I'm also not married to the idea of having an image of files being uploaded. If you can come up with a different angle or a totally different concept, that's awesome. The main thing I want to retain is the colors that are used.

    I was hoping to get more activity on this contest but if I can't find a winner in the 24-hour period, I will be extending this another 24 hours to allow for more entries.

    Thanks,

    Travis

    I want to thank everyone for their entries but I just found a winner via private entry. In the interest of full disclosure, the winning entry came from user: "jhaye" and this was his concept:

    [​IMG]

    His entry just came in this morning and while it isn't perfect...it's the best entry so far and one I can work with for now. Thanks again everyone, but jahye is the winner of this contest.
