Header & Logo Design For Website & 510×80 Banner Design

1. Header

Looking for a developer with good design skills for creating high quality, professional looking graphics. I need this designer/devloper to create and implement a professional looking header/logo for the site; www.mvpcapper.com

The site already has a complete layout and need the surrounding border in the header (the parts that blend with the site layout) to stay in place.

I need someone to redesign the header image with updated pictures of athletes and more professional looking image.

I also need the designer/developer to cut the new header image (with a new logo) to fit into the site layout as currently laid out on the current site structure. As you can see, (if you look into the site’s header files) the current header is cut into the following two files;

http://www.mvpcapper.com/sitehtml/header_lleft.jpg
http://www.mvpcapper.com/sitehtml/header_lright.jpg

The new header should be cut to the same size, replacing the old files….keeping the surrounding green border (can make the border smaller) that fits the site’s layout. The header must fit into the mvpcapper.com layout and replace the old header files.

This is a US/American sports betting/handicapping site. I need a professional looking header that fits the sites theme. Looking for a high quality professional looking logo/header designed and implemented to replace the above described header files.

The site should incorporate small, blended background images of;

NFL Football Players,
and/or NBA Basketball Players,
and/or Major League Baseball players.

Football is the sites most prevalent sport. It also may incorporate small pictures into the background relating to American Sports Betting, such as;

Money,
and/or Vegas Odds Board,

The title should say one of the following;
MVPCapper Sports Handicapping
or;
M.V.P. Capper Sports
or just;
MVP Capper

For the logo part of the header;
I was thinking about using the “MVP” and “Capper” below it in the logo. Create a logo and adding “MVP” & “Capper” logo to the header image. I saw a nice shape and design with the words “MVP” in it here: http://www.mvparena.com/img/buttons/icon_mvp.jpg. I like the shape and layout with the football. Could maybe add the words “Capper” below and make the logo of similar shape (but larger size) and add it to the header.

The Slogan Can Be One of the Following:
Expert Sports Picks From Professional Sports Handicappers
or
Excellence in Professional Sports Handicapping

Following “MVP Capper” Can use words like;
Sports Handicapping
Expert Sports Picks

I will need the designer to put this header in place, cropping/cutting it accordingly to replace the old files (showing me before putting it in place).

I want the logo/header to be professional looking but NOT boring and I want it to POP off the page and be very appealing. Don’t be afraid to be creative and try to hit a home run. I own many more sites so there is great potential to be able to acquire future work doing more headers/logos in the future with me.

Here are some sites in my industry that that have nice, appealing headers;
nsawins.com
primesportspicks.com
docsports.com
vegassi.com

2. Additional Banner

I also need an alternate 510×60 size banner for the site (using the similar details above). I will use this image for the top of my newsletters. I will also need the image to include the site URL as well. I was thinking to use the “MVP Capper” logo created above to fit into this image.

Looking for someone to work on this ASAP.
