Need a banner designed - $50 contest

    Hey all, I'm looking for a header image (or logo to go at the top in the center) for www.levinehat.com

    The banner will be placed on all of the pages on the site...
    Payment will be $50 via paypal.

    Attached are a couple logo images that we use currently, but you don't have to use them if you have a better idea...

    the current banner is 748x109, but if you have an idea for a completely different format or size that'd be great too - so if you have an idea for a logo or something that'd go in the center, or aligned to the left, jsut let me know what are your ideas...

    Good luck!

    I like the idea...
    The choice of font for the "Levine Hat Co." and the font for "be somebody, wear a hat" are both looking good...

    The reflection on the text might need a little tweaking so it doesn't stand out so much. Also, I don't really like how much contrast there is between the black derby and the white logo. Got any other ideas for how to integrate the logo?

    I prefer the first one... It's got a little more "classic" look as opposed to modern, which might better fit the image of the organization...

    @Lemuria : Looking good, I like the idea of the hat on the "i" in the second logo, but I like the professional look of the first. The sherlock is not really what we're looking for.

    The contest ends when I find one I like and one of you is paid!

    @All : I'm thinking that the logo images I included probably won't be good in this design. I would prefer a nice looking font choice for the "Levine Hat Co.", and some minor ornamentation (similar to Lemuria's idea of hanging the hat off the "i" or the "H".

    @Aaron : A little more cartoonish than what I'm looking for :) (btw your blog is awesome, man).

    Thanks everyone for the great designs -

    The winning design was by Asterix - you can see the final image in its new home.

    @Lemuria, Daniel, Zolink, Aaron: You'll get another chance soon, I promise, as this contest worked out so well...
