$50 Poker Logo

    This should be fairly simple for a quality designer. I'm looking for a logo to go along with a redesign of http://poker30.net

    It is important to note that you need to ignore everything about the site the way it is, including the current header. That was done by a very bad designer (me) about 2 years ago.

    Here is what I am looking for.

    Poker30 refers to time. There's an expression: beer thirty, smoke thirty, etc. This is Poker thirty. I would like something along the lines of a poker chip that is also a clock with the minute hand pointing down, towards 30. Next to it should read Poker30.net and maybe a tag line like "It's Poker Time" or something like that.

    It does not matter to me what color the chip is but I do want to keep it within the realm of your typical poker colors. Green, blue, red, black, etc.

    I would also like the chip to look something along the lines of the one at uspokersearch.com but please, do not copy that one directly. I just wanted to give an example of the look I'm going for.

    General dimensions should be anywhere from 75 to 100 px in height and approx 400 to 500px in width after you add Poker30.net to the side of the chip.

    Payment of $50 to the winner via paypal.

    I've held a few sucessful contests here and am always amazed at the talent on digitalpoint.com. I look forward to seeing all of your entries.

    Thanks for the advice TDGraphics. Here's a look at it with the stretched text. I made it smaller too because it looked a little fat.

    I'm red-green color-blind, so I can barely see the O and E...

    To me, your logo looks like

    I just realized that I had the hour hand pointing at the "30" rather then the minute hand. Haha! Here's the updated one:

    Ah, well that's interesting. That comment actually made me realize this text needs to stand out a bit more, so I made a quick change:
