@zenr: Thanks for the response, I actually have a light bulb as the site icon.
@leviathon: I would like to fill out the slogan myself. When you are done please send me the Fireworks project file. My site is
http://supertwinkie.co.cc/bw until it goes online (needless to say I have to change the color scheme). I plan to have a blacker layout. The banner needs to be 740 pixels wide (slightly wider than before) and slightly shorter. Removing the blue ribbon was probably the best idea, but it leaves a gap in the bottom of the image. Try making the ribbon originate at the bottom just bellow the golden one, and continue on its intended course (sketched below). I would like to experiment with using a serif font rather than sans-serif. And in any case, please take zenr's suggestion and add your own creativity (as you have). I am not completely sure of what I want either
@lemon-tree: Sorry, but the text looks too crowded, and the shadows and effects still overlap other parts of the image.
@loveispoison: Creative, but it doesn't 'fit in' with the image. It looks like it was stamped on. Thanks for the idea.
I will get back to you on the banners you posted.
