$50 Promotional Banner Needed - Paypal Payout

    Promotional banner needed.

    Size: 450x250 in size. (If a bigger image is needed for better quality, I can go higher on the height up to 300)

    I need a banner to promote an upcoming launch for a social network as part of this website.

    The promotional banner should state something like:
    "Coming soon... A Social Network For Stars "Kick"
    (an added plus is if you make the text animated... as in appear in the order of Coming soon... then A Social Network For Stars then "Kick")

    The placement of the text is up to you.

    The color scheme should match the available colors from the existing website.

    If possible, please try and incorporate the existing logo in the promotional banner and add effects like fireworks or streamers or something else as well as background football (soccer) image of some sort - as this social network will be for soccer players.

    Prompt Payment of $50 via PayPal to winner.

    Layered PSD document required.

    NO PM entries please.

    Feel free to ask if I was not clear in my description of this contest. Feedback will be given.

    @emzdesign: to be honest, it all looks kind of just dropped together without looking like it all belongs together - if you know what I mean?

    @imhawk: the WYS looks like you cut it out in photo shop... it's a bit pixelated. Also, the main focus should be on the Coming soon etc text, not the WYS logo... that should be somewhere to the side or in the corner. Can you make the Coming soon... WYS Social Network "Kick" use some more prominent (perhaps block) font.

    Keep them coming folks.

    Love the imagery Technoguy.

    Can you please make the word "Kick" appear alone over the green surface.
    So, perhaps the text can go as:
    Coming soon...
    WYS Social Network
    "Kick"

    Please try a couple of variants of text size... and perhaps with Coming soon... appearing over the red text at the top.

    Thanks technoguy, I guess because of space constraints, you can change the text to following

    Coming soon... ( in the red strip as you have it in the second image in the latest images above)
    A Social Network
    For Stars
    "Kick" (in the green strip like you have it in the first image above)

    Can you also try writing the word kick in caps KICK

    Thanks,

    John

    @imhawk, I like number #2 and #3, they look really cool.

    feedback: please adjust #2 and #3 (only if it won't break the layout) to contain the text:
    "Coming soon... A Social Network For Stars "Kick"

    And please place more emphasis on the word Kick with perhaps caps KICK (if possible)

    Thanks,

    John

    @emzdesign and @shandyisme, sorry guys, it's just not up to the standard that I am looking for.

    Currently in the lead (and will be presented to client for consideration) are:
    imhawk and technoguy (once they make the requested changes).

    @imhawk, the coming soon is just ever-so-slightly too big and too thick...
    @imhawk, the WYS logo does not seem vertically centered in the horizontal strip, could you move it up just a bit?
    @imhawk could you try writing A Social Newrok For Stars in all CAPS?

    Also, as I added up in the original post, it's a plus if you make the text animated as described in the original post.

    Keep them coming folks,

    John

    If you're presenting this to your client why aren't you presenting all entries? Do you know what your client likes? He/she may likes something that you don't?

    Since you didn't tell me which one you like better, first or second - I made changes on first.

    A bit pixelated version of .gif animations (can't be done other way, sorry):
    [​IMG]

    Static version:

    I can change banner number 2 on request.
