Contest Two banners for a non profit contest ends in 6 hours

    Hi!

    I'm looking for two banners. one is 125x125 the other is 468x60.

    I want them to be fairly simple but still draw attention to those who look at them. No need to be animated. The colors I enjoy are white,blues,black and red. But honestly use any color you like

    The site is called Ink Bean and it is a literary magazine. We are a non profit that supports endangered animals and premature babies. These banners will be used to market this company both on here with the avatar and on ptc sites all over the internet. For paid to click sites the banner has to be eye catching because most don't click them unless they are eye catching.

    Deadline for contest is 6 hours. I actually have a full time designer working for me but he's out of town. So the person that makes the banners for me will be my temporary full time designer if they want to be.

    The prize is $20 plus future full time work.

    Text should be: Ink Bean - Where boredom isn't allowed... only beans.

    No bean pictures please!


    Any questions I'm here. Thanks and good luck!

    I do really like then. However I don't think the long banner is as eye catching as the other one. And I don't want people to assume that the site is about love because it's mostly about writing and art. But I do like them.

    Here they are. ...The 468 x 60 banner isn't great, I know. I'll redo that if you want. :X

    AjmalHuzz- I'm really torn between liking it or not. Will let you know in a few.

    Voltage- I like the blue one. Could I see the long banner in a dark blue with the same yellow font please ?

    So far you both rock at the square banner but the long banner isn't as good for some reason. It's lacking the WOW factor.. you know

    This wasn't an easy choice to make . Honestly the hardest today. They are all lovely in their own way. But I am going to go with Jahangir. I like this one the most because it doesn't have anything but text and color but looks clickable and eye catching. It's super simple just like I wanted.

    Please PM me Jahangir when you get a chance. Thanks again to all those who entered, your work is amazing but not what I was looking for.
