[REQ]Header Contest $50 - Automotive website

[JayA]

Type of Contest: Header Design
Prize:$50 via PayPal
Contest End Date & Time: May 23 2011
Size Requirements: Must fit within our current template. Vector and PSD also required
Color Requirements: Must match our current color scheme http://no_url_shorteners/3or3mnw
General Requirements: Must be simple, professional, while still bringing to light our theme. Capture the meaning of a new car making its debut. Once the winner is chosen that particular entry has to be spliced and coded for easy implementation.
Additional Information:

Please include our tagline "Still Has That New Car Smell!"

Looking for our name to be the focus of the header and design, with a clean and professional look. It's very important that the design flows properly with our current color scheme and template.

Possible idea, to capture the branding we're looking for one option would be to have a cover being pulled away from our name. Similar to what you see when a car is being unveiled.

Finally, we would like our current links in the header to be turned into stylized buttons.

A logo being incorporated is not a requirement, but could be a plus.

Thanks

is there any specific size for the header ?

 

[JayA]

I believe the width will have to be around 900px, let me get back on an exact size. We don't want the current template to be stretched any, or come up too short. There's no requirement for length, but overall we'd prefer the same dimensions. I'll try to get some exact numbers tomorrow. thanks

 

[JayA]

Let's go with 920 on the width.

here first try

large size

 

[Gooddesigner]

here is my try

 

[JayA]

dlight - the color usage is perfect and that's a very clean design. Although, I'm personally not big on the hand. If you want to try the unveil effect I was thinking more along the lines of a cover being pulled off of the name, maybe still partially covering one of the letters, while the rest appears to have been pulled away. Something like that? Just an idea and open to others.

Gooddesigner - I'm afraid the green won't fit with our current theme. The colors we're looking for are red, black, and gray.

Large Size

 

[JayA]

Really appreciate all the submissions so far, there are some good entries already. A general suggestion for anyone interested in revisions, try to keep the design fairly simple. Nothing too busy.

dlight, that's very sharp. The text for the tagline is perfect, but it would be great to see the font for our name played with a little bit. Maybe something along the lines of the font used in your China Town logo?

Thanks guys let's keep em' coming, the contest will remain open until Monday.

 

[dlight]

thanks for the revision...
i try something on the font...
hope you like it...

 

[nguyen_huy_hai]

Some fixes

 

[JayA]

Thanks again all. For anyone still interested in any final revisions or submissions, here's a couple more suggestions.

The clean look that huy hai and dlight provided is the type of style we're looking for, with perfect color usage. In addition, more of a beveled, 3d look to some of the texture will boost anyone's chances.

We'll select a winner within the next 8 or 9 hours.
