    Alright, so here is what I'm looking for. I'm going to start off by providing a link to the style and type of image I'm looking to have created to top my blog.
    http://imgur.com/2cOcScU
    I want to take that style of image, get rid of the soul patch and hat, add a hoodie w/ hood up, a blunt in the corner of the mouth, and darker glasses that don't show the eyes.


    1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
    Krayve404

    2) What is your website address (ex: http:/site .com/; Site Name)?
    http://bomb1st404.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header

    3) Description of your website or business:
    Blog centered around banter, opinions, & theorycrafting of competitive gaming, mainly Magic: the Gathering.

    4) Search the Internet for any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
    the style you are looking for?
    http://psychoticuserbehavior.wordpress.com/ The header on this blog is the style that I'm looking for, but more of a darker feel to it. Instead of something like the controller on the left, I'd prefer some sort of card spread, I'm thinking like seven magic cards laid out across, backs showing. (This is a friend's blog, and he is cool with me using the base face image.)

    5) Requested size of your logo:
    It will be solely used as a header for the website, much like the image of the cat in the header currently. 960x250


    6) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)
    http://imgur.com/2cOcScU... Explained above what I'd like done to the image.
    http://imgur.com/BjZYCoe... Interested in the background style of this image, but a more black and green hue/tint, instead of the teal and green that this image shows.
    http://static.starcitygames.com/sales/cardscans/SLEEVE/Sleeves_MSC_CardBack.jpg... This is what I'm looking for on the left hand side, if possible seven cards laid out like that.


    7) What logo styles do you like (text only, image only, text and image, etc.)?

    Text and Image – I would like the custom edited face, on the right side of the header, where the cat's face is on the header currently located on the blog. The cards laid out on the left side, kind of located where the nintendo controller is in the sample header from the other blog I showed as an example header. For text, I'd like it to read: "Krayve404" centered across the top of the header.

    8) What colors do you want to see in your logo?
    Black and green for the most part, darker tints.

    9) What colors do you NOT want to see in your logo?
    Stay away from brighter colors.

    10) Describe the target audience for your logo
    Gamers, stoners, ccg players

    11) What are the top 3 things you would like to communicate through your logo?
    I'm looking for it to portray a laid back environment centered around providing knowledge, first hand experience, opinions, banter, & general theorycrafting about gaming, mostly Magic: the Gathering, hence the card spread.

    12) Where will your logo be used (print, website, etc.)?
    Solo on the blog.

    13) Do you have other info or links you want to share?
    I think I've covered it for the most part.

    14) Finally we need is there a style font you prefer, please let us know.
    I'm stuck using the default font provided by Wordpress, so feel free to use something you feel looks alright with what's already on the page.

    Will try to get to a couple site reviews, and an introduction after I wake up, not looking for handouts while giving nothing in return. Please, and thank you in advance.

    My skills are a little rusty with these types of graphics but I'll see what I can do. There's a good bit you are asking for so, I'll need more time than usual.

    Thanks, your assistance is appreciated, and if it isn't exactly what I'm asking for, that's fine. I'm sure whatever you come up with will look a lot better than anything I'm able to produce on my own.

    So when you say blunt, do you mean the originals, as I prefer a Oliva from Nicaragua or do you mean the hollow out & fill your own kind? jugle.gif

    Hollow out and fill your own kind.

    Here ya go - One blunt smoking, bantering, opinionated, theorycrafting header for krayve404 cigar-smoker.gif

    Used a font that would blend with the magic books, added a colored line at the top and bottom so it would blend in better with your site. Went for totally different background than the cat, just easer for me to work with, thought the lines and circles tied the magic books and midnight toker together. Had a bit of a time with the hoodie but it fits.
    pop it in your site and let us know how it fits.

    I'm happy with it, if possible, is there a way to darken the glasses a bit more, and reduce the size of the blunt by about half? I think it might stick out a bit to much, if not, then it's not a huge deal.

    Hows this better?
    How about giving my site a plug on yours- http://ishkey.com/
    I'm about ready to update mine and need more coverage.

    Definitely will plug your site as soon as I put the finishing touches, and start updating it.

    I'll add it into my Blogroll.
