Hi everyone!

I got a quote from a really great company to design a banner/logo that could be used for the forum. It would also be of good enough quality to put on merchandise, etc. if we ever wanted to do t-shirts, mugs, etc.

It would be between $150-$175.

Would people be willing to donate so I can really get this site looking professional? I'm doing a lot of work on it right now. We do have some competition, but I'm planning on revamping a lot of things on this site.

Please let me know. I have a paypal account that we could send payments to and I could pay from there. This is something that would really benefit the forum a lot.

Reply here or to a PM to me with thoughts/suggestions/comments!

¿Are you talking about like the thing at the top of the page? Forgive me for not understanding how forums work.

Yeah- the banner at the top of the page. You wouldn't believe how much that would help people take us seriously. I've done some research on it.

im with harrise, not sure what is wrong with the one we have, would it move around and do cool things or just sit on top of the page like the one we have?

It would just be something to look more professional. I think the one we have now is alright- it just looks like I threw it together ...cause I did. I've seen forums that skyrocket in membership and activity as soon as they take on a more professional look.

Ahhhh, I get it. Like a letterhead.

Sorry, but it seems a bit spendy. I'm quite literally counting pennies for the big $$ vet visit every April. Is it something that photoshop can do? Or, can you show some examples of what is considered a more professional looking banner?

good idea harrise, i love photoshope and could maybe help out on the design?

The Husky Forum used the same designer. I love the look. It's clean and crisp-- and looks real professional. Obviously they would design something more fitting for our forum. It wouldn't be a carbon copy at all.

For those who don't know, go to: The Husky Forum (now dead)

so is it the design as well as all the buttons? or just the design?

Buttons too. It would include all those sorts of things.

oh i can't do that kind of stuff. can't we find some one in school to do it for free as pratice>?

Well- buttons aren't necessary. If you want to take a crack at the banner, have a go!

.

I'll be pitching in. Do you have an email that we can send moniez via PayPal to?
