    I have a theme/template that I'm currently using for a Real Estate Directory site and the current look is not what I want.

    I'm in need of a banner and background.

    I will need the PSD's files once you are done.

    I have attached the current background and a screen shot of the site working.

    Banner Dimension need to be 500 pixels wide and 90 pixels high.

    Now, onto the background.

    The existing background image size is 1,734px × 1,000px. I would like it to stay that way to make it easy to integrate with my theme.

    Here is the existing background image.

    And here is what the site looks like live.

    What I'm looking for is some that looks like real estate. Maybe a skyline, that is in place of the blue round things. BUT I'm not the artist, you guys are. Just make the background Real Estate themed and show me what you got!

    The payment will be made via Paypal.

    This is an open contest. Meaning I it will run until I find that perfect look.

    Questions? Please ask.

    Wow! I really like that!

    For the house in the banner is there anyway to add more detail to it? I think that the white is just a little too plan.

    Not without recreating the button. But I could do that if you really think the white looks that bad. :]

    Yes, I think that the all white house is not a good mix with the mainly white background of the banner. I think by adding some definition to the house that it will really make it "pop" out from the washed out white background.

    Thanks for the fast work, I was thinking more along the lines of keeping the house the same size, but just add some black lines that show windows and a door.

    I edited the first entry (as best I could) to show you what I mean.

    Obviously my editing skills are not good, so if you can add some 2.0 look with the lines for the windows and door that would be sweet. Once the house is outlined and looking more 2.0'ish I think we have a winner :)

    I'm sorry for the confusion. I figured a separate thread which stated only one for the jobs would help to not confuse people. I'm going to not use this thread here anymore. I will also comment on your banners that you made me.
