    Made some fixes:

    Got rid of the stripes and the pattern.
    Blue colour is now more "Spurs"
    Site name bigger/bolder
    Slogan changed.
    Less height on the header with no players.

    saxdesigns.co.uk/spurs/new/v1prev.jpg - V3.2
    saxdesigns.co.uk/spurs/new/v2prev.jpg - V5.1

    Hope you like them.

    Wow, hard choice you two.. i think lets do a decider round if no new entries comes in.

    New Requirements:

    1. The header should be between 100 to 140 in height. - (Not including the sub-bar as item 3)
    2. The header needs the following Main Link buttons - Home , Forum , Register , Log-in , <placeholder>
    3. Under the under will be a Sub-menu bar for sub-links on the forum etc... this will change depending on where the user is . ... Be nice if you guys can come up with a background for the bar that fits with the header.


    OK.. so review of your designs.

    In general, its hard because I like the right hand site of Coolwanz but I like the middle part and emblem of Sax.

    Still think the Spurs11 could be improved on both. font and design wise I mean.

    Coolwanz -
    1. I dont think the S11 fits into the ball as it looks forced.
    2. A little comments - I hope Defoe doesnt get transferred this season ..lol
    3. Suggestion - Make emblem smaller.
    4. Suggestion - Fit the Category links under the logo in a gradiented off bar?

    <Note> Cool, hope you dont mind but I put your header on the forum to see what it would look like, will remove of course but you can take a look to see how it fits whilst its there.


    Sax.
    1. Font for slogan needs to changed .. doesnt fit atm.
    2. be interesting to see where you put the menu links.


    Thanks.

    Matt

    Okay, here's the final load, lol.

    I changed the slogan font, the header height, and added the extra main buttons. I also created the sub menu for the forum.

    And finally, I tested out some changes to "Spurs11".

    Again, if you choose one of my headers, the logo will be extracted and provided separately.

    Thanks for the feedback btw. Nicely run contest.

    Ok, Nice entries from both Sax and Cool and I need to pick a winner cos I need to release the site so ....

    Winner is Coolwanz...

    However, you need to do the following.

    1. The S11 in the Ball - Make it a 11 and centre it in the ball.
    2. Can you use the darker blue of my forum body background for the topmost blue line.
    3. The Main links, I feel should be in the header and the bar you have now reserved for sub links .. i..e the Forum ones like Calender, New posts, Search Etc. ... I don't like the sub-links bar at the moment .. maybe should be lighter with less gradient?
    4. The main links, can you try to do this or another method. Make logo smaller. Have a Blue(background dark blue) bar under the logo? Hmm, Not sure .. try to make it tie in with the right side. Alternatively you can use the middle space.
    5. Delete Coolwanz creation .. instead you can put 'To Do is to Dare!'


    Maybe you can submit the design via PM from now.


    Thanks, and Thanks to Sax too.
