    I collect Troy Polamalu cards and would like a banner for my signature on a sports card forum.

    It needs to be 300 x 100.

    It should picture Troy Polamalu and maybe the Steelers logo.

    The text can be Troy Polamalu Collector.

    I really like this Polamalu card if you want to use it for ideas or an image... or you can try something completely different.

    Quick feedback for all entries... $20 prize as soon as I see the one I want.

    Can't wait to see your entries! Thank you!

    Hi, Pehulz! Thank you for your entry. I like that you used the photo from the card. The position of the image and the text is nice. The picture looks a little faded though... and the text is a little hard to read. Is there a way to maybe change something so that the image and text stand out more? Thanks for being the first entry!

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to make some adjustment to it...i'm trying to find a large picture of troy so it can be modified without losing the sharpness of the picture.
    Thanks again

    napenzki, I like that you used the Steelers logo in the first one... but both banners seem a little busy... maybe the 1st one could be simpler?

    pehulz, I really like how the images look now... not sure about the fonts... you can try some other ones if you want.

    arunfx, they all look good... I think I like the last two the best. Only suggestion I would have is to try another background font color other than brown... something that really goes with Steeler colors... but I do like it.

    To everyone, I understand everyone is probably cropping just the head because the banner is small... but I would be interested to see if anyone wants to try the Polamalu image showing maybe waist up? just a thought.

    Thanks!!

    pehulz - I'm liking it. The right side looks great. You can leave it as is... or maybe show me what it would look like with Polamalu from the waist up? may be too small... but I'm curious.

    pehulz, not sure I like that Polamalu picture on the new banners. Your entry from post #10 is my favorite so far. Could you just try that one exactly... with the Polamalu picture from the card... not just his head... but just enough to show the numbers on his shirt and up?

    cheafynelu, I like those... but not sure about the font... maybe shades of gray rather than brown.

    arunefx, I like the third one... but maybe a light gray background instead of light blue?
    I also like the speckled gray background on the first version two banner. Maybe the Polamalu picture on that one can be the one from the card... but waist up.

    cheafynelu, those look good. Only suggestion would be to maybe make the "Troy Polamalu" on the top banner black... and the text on the 2nd banner black. Thanks!

    Everyone, any more revisions or new entries before I choose a winner??
