Banner Contest 48 Hours- $20 paid by PayPal

    Hello, I need a Logo banner for a website. The size must be 600 x 100 px in Gif format.
    This is for a classifieds site similar to Craigslist. What I need is a banner that has the following:
    The banner is for the State of Virginia in the U.S. I would like it to show the ocean and mountains from Virginia in the background. It needs to relate to Virginia and I would like it to have a small American flag and State flag on the banner also. You can do a web search for Virginia information and find other elements that you may want to include also. (Such is the state bird, state tree etc...) Basically anything that relates to Virginia that will look nice. On the banner it must include the wording "Rhonie's Classified" in large letters for the logo. The only thing that must be included is the size of the banner must be 600 x 100, and Rhonie's Classified. You may use anything you like. I included the above information to give you an idea what I might want to see. I am doing this for Virginia only at the present time, but I will be either hosting another contest in the future, and/or use the winner of this contest to design more banners for other states. I was going to only run it for 24 hours, but I thought that you may need a little more time, so I made it 48 hours.
    Please post the banner and P/M me to let me know that you have. All banners need to be posted in this thread. I will reply and give feedback.
    Good Luck and have fun.:)

    Great Job, maybe the American Flag is a little too much, and the wording is clear and concise, but maybe too bold. Don't know yet.

    I can see things are developing great. The graphic background that was posted by Lush Lush represents Virginia better then the one from swalihmcmr, but I like an element or two from that one also. Keep posting.

    Accipiter, I like the flags the lettering and the Cardinal. It is beautiful. The background is great, but take a look at the background of what LushLush posted. I really like the background of that one. The website is going to be used by basically people on vacation, so I am looking for that energy. See half of the state is really laid back and slow, and the other half of the state is fast and exciting, so it needs to represent both feelings. Please P/M me when you make a submission to make sure I see it.

    Don't care for the split, but I do like the background for the beach area.

    LushLush I like your background, Accipiter I like your flags and cardinal, pheonix I like your lettering, and the beach background.
    I think I have given you all enough information to put together the perfect banner for me.

    Well I had to make a hard decision. Pheonix89 is the winner, with the middle banner in the last post above. This is because he worked the hardest and watched the forum, and replied to my feedback. Now I cannot tell either of you by P/M what exactly what I want done, because I feel that would be unfair in the contest. LushLush and Accipiter, if either one of you would have some minor changes to your banners one of you would be the winner.
    Even though I cannot make you all winners you are in my book. Please keep looking for my contest, I may have another one soon.
    I thank you all and really do appreciate the work, and I am always jealous because I am not talented is all of you.
    Pheonix89 I am waiting for the P/M with the banner and email address, after receiving it I will give you positive feedback and send the payment right away.
