Site Header and Logo

I need a 748x60 graphic creating as a header for my brother's personal web site ([login to view URL]). Ideally this graphic should include a 'logo' that is also supplied as a separate image suitable for use in other designs (e.g. business card, link buttons, banners). There is a fair amount of freedom in choosing a design for the header so long as it compliments the style of the rest of the page and doesn't detract from the content (by standing out too much for example). The content on the sample page above is typical of what will be published on the site. My brother has attempted a rough stab at a header and this can be found here ([login to view URL]). Please provide examples of previous work (applicants who fail to provide samples will not be considered). I will expect the selected artist to produce two or three drafts of different ideas for final selection and refinement. Finished images should be provided in original format (e.g. photoshop, fireworks, paint shop pro) and in a format optimised for the web (e.g. jpg). Usual considerations for web based images to apply; colours used, download time, etc. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Desktop web browsers (e.g. IE, Firefox, Netscape) on multiple platforms (e.g. Windows, *nix, Mac).
