Banner / Logo needed

[Bert02]

Hi all-
Second time here, and a great site!
I'm working on a domaining beginners site (see www.TheWorldOfDomains.com ) and would like some creative ideas for a top banner (approx. 760 x 150 ) and a couple smaller logos, buttons etc. on the same design that I can use on other sites for advertising.
I'm not graphically endowed but do know what I like. Please feel free to submit and if the going rate is <$50. I have no problem paying via PayPal.
Thanks for the resources here and comments welcome.

My attempt

100% Vector images
feedback will be appreciated

I have more variations, but I did not want to crowd the message board with an enourmous post, so I have attached them below.

Thanks in advance,

Adrian.

any preference for a static or animated header?

-adrianM: those are some nice ideas. now i suggest you make a shading background. simple.

Hey AdrianM-
On first look I think they are just about what I'm looking for. Could you somehow incorporate a globe or earth image instead of the '3 cubes'. Something to convey the "world" of domains.
Thanks for the effort, I think we're on the right track.

 

[AdrianM]

I think I can make it fit your needs a bit better, I'll give it some work.

But just so you know, the "three cubes" are actually supposed to represent skyscrapers, and the green circle emerging from behind the words is supposed to represent the earth.

Let me know if you still want some changes.

 

[Bert02]

I kind of had that feeling and maybe going a little abstract like that is the way to go. Like I said before, I'm somewhat creativley limited and would like to leave the graphics to those that have done this before, but could you show me a couple examples with a 'planet world' left and right oriented.
Thanks again.

Touched it up a bit

Hey, I added a globe and made some revisions to the skyscrapers. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know of them.

Same but different.

I like what Adrian has done and his layout is Very good.

Here's a different take on the same idea, If you like it credit should also go to Adrain.

unLimited-
Thanks for your example, I feel that's the best so far. Take a look at http://www.theworldofdomains.com/ and tell me what you think. Is it too white??
does it need a little more color?
When we nail this we'll make sure credit goes where it's due.
Thanks again for the effort.

Here's one with a bit of color

 

[Xyzer]

ill make you a set of buttons to your needs for $10, pm me.

 

[Bert02]

Thanks for the input guys.
In order for me to make this decision I'm uploading the banners to the site- http://www.theworldofdomains.com/ emailing the link to an associate and waiting their opinion. Sorry for taking so long but we'll get there.

 

[AdrianM]

Some more designs

While we are waiting I thought I'd try some smaller logo's.

From what I know, you're going to be giving these to other websites as promotional ads or banners / links, correct?

Tell me what you think of them. They are 100% Vector so they can be resized to fit your needs.

Feedback is appreciated

Thanks,





Adrian

Hi Adrian,
We've decided to go with 'unlimited's' TopBanner2.jpg.
Thanks for all the excellent samples, I wish I had your talents.

 

[AdrianM]

Awesome, contgratulations unlimited.

Just out of curiousity - didn't you want smaller logo's / buttons also?


Thanks,

Adrian.
