Well we probably want to wrap this up sooner rather than later. I was kind of expecting more entries but the one we've received is excellent. I guess we'll have a vote regardless (with the current logo as an option) although at this time it seems kind of pointless.

Working backwards...
CruzDude needs the design by next Monday 2/8.
I would like a couple of days to work with the winner to "tweak" a few things (to get the header to blend nicely with the header template) and get the file in a few different formats. So lets say the voting needs to be done by Friday. Two days should be enough for voting, so.... if anyone else would like to submit an entry you have until first thing Wednesday morning.

Site slogan...

So this isn't really an "Art Studio" question but it's related to the banner re-design so I thought I'd post it here.

I'd like to have a site slogan in the banner. In the one submission so far it would probably go where it says "Sacramento Kings Forums". I'd like to have something that doesn't focus solely on the forums.

As an example in the past I had: "The Original Sacramento Kings Online Community"

Any other suggestions?

Way cool, DeMoN! Keep refining that. Maybe work with cstorm and see what you both can come up with.

This is getting exciting, boss!

Anything you don't like about it or feel needs to be refined?

It needs a logo for the KingsFans.com. Work with that a bit? And, I really like the way cstorm colored in the words Kingsfans with purple and black. It made it stand out.

So I like the overall design of this one better, but I prefer the picture of Tyreke that DeMoN used.

(Says the guy with no photoshop skill sitting on the sidelines...)
I agree. Better image, BUT I can't use the Kings logo though. :( That makes that image hard to use. I would edit out the logo, but that would look strange.

I didn't realize you couldn't use the Kings logo. I guess that nixes DeMoN's design off the bat?

It's easy enough to swap images, so if someone has any great images, by all means, send 'em!
I seem to remember a really great picture taken by Double K at the VSL of Tyreke blocking a jump shot, but the stuff has been taken down from Flickr. I'll PM to see if that image can be resurrected. Maybe it could be useful.

Very good job both.

In overall visual design, I like more cstorms' but I agree the photo of Tyreke holding the Kings name in his shirt from the Bulls comeback game that DeMoN used should be the one to appear. It resumes it everything about these Kings. And I also love the "Rise Up Sacramento" slogan a lot more than "The best fans!". So it's almost a tie for me.

You cannot use any tradmarked image. This includes the Kings logos and the name "Kings" on the front of the jerseys. Technically, they can even get after you for using the NBA logo itself (Jerry West's silhouette)...

All trademarked identifiers should be photoshopped out.
