$80 for 2.0 style header

amuzer.com - current arcade site

Thinking a hippie/60's/flower power type theme on the site as a whole, but will consider all entries that utilize pastels/lighter hues.

Right hand if header bottom/top/where ever (horizontal or Vertical) will have text buttons for:
Bookmark, Tell a Friend, Advertise

max height of header 1000 w 90 h

Eventually, will need the rest of the site done but that is for another post

thanks,

Tim H

A couple of tries ...

 

[timmaay]

I like the flowers and font on the first one

too much tie-dye makes the sitename and buttons not stick out too well

try and bring the size down (vertically) ... and i think i am leaning towards text "buttons"

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Here is edited version, shrunk it vertically to 100px and muted background.

Screenshot shows how text buttons will look when mouse hovers over each one. The "buttons" are done in CSS without images
and text of links are easily changed in the html file.

Antec ... too much going on and too dark to my tastes

SE ... losing the tiedie really makes it look nice but too feminine now i think

Gemini ... nice work can you play with colors (maybe swap the red->blue or change the red color scheme) ... the buttons ... if i took your design how hard would it be for me to make new ones.

Thanks for the feedback, ill try changing the color scheme to what you said above.

As for making new buttons it wouldn't be very difficult at all as long as you have a basic understanding in Photoshop just use the type tool and replace the text on the button(s) with what you want.

yea, i havent done graphics before, i was bored yesterday and felt like trying. id make a new one but i think sb gemini is looking pretty nice for what u want. u should pick his , well mrpsycho98s is cool too.

none of them will fit your site though, they need to be wider

 

[timmaay]

Wow ... i was skeptical of doing this at first seeing as you need to pick a winner but the last few submissions have really opened by eyes. Nice work to all who have submitted so far.

nice change SB ... i like those colors

psycho ... i really like yours as well except the green, could you change to a lighter hued green or different color (not black or grey )

ekorn ... i like the colors but i am not really sure how I feel about the buttons and stars.

Thanks all for your submissions so far lets keep em coming.
