Legacy My first website needs a logo.. Please!!

This is my first attemp at a website, my first attempt at php/mysql... my first logo... my first everything... but i think im making progress... Anyways I've spent the last few days trying to make my own logo using photoshop (also a first...lol)... thing is... it just doesnt look right...

1) My website is a work in progress... www.myloftyfeats.com
2) My site is a goal oriented site... You'll be able to keep track of your life goals like graduating from college, climbing everest, getting married, or just paying a bill... the user will also be able to blog about their great feat...
3) I like my current design where the text is taller at the center than it is at the sides...
4) i banner size logo will work great...
5) i have no images... i can post the ones i was using but i dont really like them..
6) im open to any bright colors... the website is only just beginning so i can just work my website around my logo design...

thanks for any help on the logo... and i'll be sure to give you credit on my site...

 

no takers?

Please someone help... heres what I have.. but Im open to anything simple...

 

banner

hello,

i liked your idea , its interesting, i have created something simple, if you don't like it, its completely understandable, but this goes very well with your website subject

i have attached a gif file with transparent background and a jpeg with almost similar looking banner colour

banners are 800 x 300 px

 

Love it!

Wow... One word... Awesome!.... Except you left out the "Y" in "myloftyfeats"... I like the words at the bottom too... is it possible i can get this in a photoshop format?... I wanna try using the same colors and setting up a prehistoric/goals website template...

 

my bad

i will send you the psd file format and you can make all the necessary corrections
