$5 TBF Banner Contest

[bond]

Hey everyone,
I need some help. Martin has been waiting forever to get an image from me so he can put on his site to support TBF. I suck at designing. I need a banner that I can use for putting in ads. I'll need one for different sizes but I'll start with the usual 125x125. Here's what the current one looks like. It's not exactly very appealing. I do like the wording "Learn, Connect, Be" as I think it shows what the forum is about. But if you can think of something better, please put that on the banner. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what you all create.

I'll give it a shot. I'm not much of a designer either, but hey, it's for the experience.

Is it just a 125x125 ad banner that you want?

[bond]

Yup, just the 125x125.

[Geek]

Yea, Geek's aren't much different of what I would do.

Thanks Geek and Vic. Vic, I like your think-outside-the-box idea but I like Geek's better this time. Geek, can you change the banner up a bit:

• I like the third concept.
• Let's put the TBF logo somewhere else because it's making "teenbusinessforum" look too small. Try putting that in the middle of the banner. You might need to change the background color (maybe).
• Change the text to say "Join the only community for teen entrepreneurs".

[Geek]

How are these?

I think the glow on the middle text on the third one, if you lowered it a little, it would be perfect.
